** If Fran is just losing her mind then her insanity is giving her, at the very least, teleportation and post-cognition powers. Given what she does and knows through the course of the game, SOMETHING supernatural is going on, but how much of it is actually supernatural and what is her being crazy is up for debate.

* Did any of what Fran went through after escaping the asylum really happen or is it just a trauma-induced hallucination? Was Fran actually rescued at the end or did Oswald's plan of extracting her brain actually go through while the happy ending is just her last dying delusion?

** As I understand it, Itward is "neither black nor white, but grey" so perhaps he's not from any reality at all? Maybe he's from inbetween them all? Or perhaps exists in all of them at once - as he explains to Fran on the ship.

** Well I just learned that there ''were'' apparently experiments into colour tv as early August 1940, but yeah, that style of Tv should... not have been around in that time and place.
** There's a touch-tone phone as well, which is actually even more anachronistic.

**** With VideoGame/LittleMisfortune set in the same universe, it confirms that there are indeed multiple realities, although that still leaves us to wonder how much of the story was all in Fran’s head.

*** Maybe it's a combination of the two? Maybe her experience with the Ultrareality has messed with her head a bit: so she can have problems as a result, without it being to blame for everything that happens.

* So wait, [[spoiler: Which reality is Itward from? The ultrareality? The way he talks about it makes it seem like a place he goes to, not a place he's from. Given his creepy appearance (and often, behavior) maybe he's from the fifth reality? Most of its denizens were weird and creepy, but actually rather nice, so it's not that much a stretch.]]
