Characters infected with a virus that targets their neurons occasionally have jerky, seizure-like movements. One of the player characters, Ryuki, is prone to dissociative episodes that cause the screen to distort and he starts saying gibberish before blacking out and freezing in place. Another character has a non-graphic seizure shortly after explaining their heart condition and general poor health, shown as them suddenly passing out.
