The people in panel 2,3,4 fear they might not be real and just NPCs.

I feel like having the capacity to question your own nature of existence sort of proves the existence to begin with. So if the fear is genuine, they too are genuine. Whether they are in a simulation is still debatable

Maybe its not about a game at all and dude has just acquired the ability to suspend his consciousness and the other people want to also be able to just stop existing for a while...

But how do you unsuspend when your entire conscious is not doing anything?

Just wiggle your mouse or hit your space bar of course.

An external timer maybe? Like an alarm clock for your existence...

Correct.

Source: I bought the DLC to gain the actual knowledge of reality a few years ago, and it's the biggest mindfuck a DLC has ever been. Well worth it. If there was a dev I would have said it was their masterpiece.
