Old Lady Dithers

Old Lady Dithers is one of the residents of Tranquility Lane. The other inhabitants believe she is crazy but actually she is the only one who is aware of Tranquility Lane being a computer simulation, and that the Overseer Stanislaus Braun, under the the guise of Betty, is torturing his subjects. She tells the player character to visit the abandoned house to access the emergency "fail-safe" terminal.

Trivia
With her knowledge of the true nature of the Tranquility Lane simulation and in her general appearance, Old Lady Dithers resembles the Oracle character in the Matrix movies.

Though she does not know why she alone knows Tranquility Lane is a simulation, information can be garnered from her pod terminal. It states that she is experiencing traumatic stress levels, "needs medical attention", "anomaly detected", and most bizarrely, a temperature of zero; her body is somehow frozen.
