I think that Mado is an escaped mental patient. Some of the lvls have lines of beds that resemble a ward, and there is one building where there are sinks inside that could be a hint to electroshock water therapy that was used on patients.
I think that rape or some disorder or something could have initially had her put in the mental institution. Or she killed/watched one of her friends die, etc.
I also think that the spaceship reminds me of a white walled ward and when it crashes, this is when she escapes. I think that is how she became a hikkimori and her dreams are her insane mind.

My second therory is that she perhaps made some sort of pact with the devil, or she and her friends got into spiritual trouble by messing with something like a Ouiji board perhaps. This lead to her and her friends being possessed or cursed and her dreams are a portal into hell.
I think that some of the imagery and items can be seen as the 7 deadly sins and as she collects these elements, she gets deeper into hell. I think that her death at the end of the game is so that she can go back to hell forever because sinners/suicides aren't supposed to make it into heaven.
Another thought about the game, I kind of think that she might have gotten pregnant and had an abortion/s and all the fetuses and sexual imagery in the game make me think that she feels guilty and it haunts her...and the crying fetus thing with the cut makes me think of an abortion.
