It's been heavily implied that the world is a simulation and most people seem to ignore it, probably because it would be very disappointing like you said. Also Maya's fear room event seems to imply she is aware if it.
I remember Sel flat out said that the the world isn't a simulation or a dream. And I don't think that's changed. I believe the visuals are mostly a red herring and are just how Akira views it.

How Sensei seduced Maya.

Actually, that might not be far off unfortunately:

You quoted my post before i finished editing it, i hit post too early, i'm a bit loopy, have been since the mall event, still can't stop playing secondmall... keep making errors with my body, clicks i don't mean to make, many typos as i type, things like that. Anyway, spaghetti.

Actually, I just realized something..

This:

Is implying things that happened years ago.

However, Sensei has a blue shirt on, and I had thought he only really wore white and gray before Molly made him that blue shirt. Was this a mistake or is the timeline even more fucked up than I thought?

He should have been wearing white around that time:

I'm always loopy, and "reality is merely an illusion albeit a very persistent one" - Someone making up shit, but the mallmaze didn't help.

I do wish I could have saw the frog though.
Lol, yes, but there's a natural follow question here... why the fuck do both of us play a game that assaults our tenuous grasp on reality with existential philosophy and reality twisting mental fuckery... talk about insanity on top of insanity... i'm trying to maintain the illusion of sanity just to get by and this game is like heroin to an addict trying to stay clean. Doki doki messed me up for weeks and i swore to stay away from the denpa genre ever after... evidently i've failed and this game is never going to end and thus i will never escape it...

I think this might be where we are different.. see, to me, there is no sanity clause.

One of my fav monologues is this:

The illusion of sanity is more of a flavor than a desire to me, I suppose. I find the illusion of insanity just as entertaining.

Totally random, but I just realized that people on the "Good Uncle" route only, might not know that Ami watched her parents die:

You're welcome "Good Uncles". Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
There's no specific evidence to add to this but given that, my operating theory is everyone was in the car and Akira and Ami were in the back, the front was beyond fucked and those two watched the other two die/bleed out or had to stare at their mangled corpses until they were cut out from the car. That's the level of horror i think it would take to fuck them both up so much, plus, what are the chances Akira was just walking down the same street when it happened? Guess he could've been waiting to get picked up, i forget if the text said he was in a specific spot anywhere in the game but i recall something about twisted metal. Either way, i believe he was there if he wasn't in the back seat with Ami.

After 'First Contact', I think it's reasonable to say that Sensei and Ami were in the back seat when the accident happened. Sensei alluded to looking out the windows at a moon in a moving car:

and that it crashed into a wall:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
This might explain the Walls of Kumon-mi and why the Moon grows and strangely shows up at times.

Also just a theory, but Nozomu may have burned to death becoming a ball of light, while Sekai got mangled to the point she looked like a tree with roots of wire. This may also have caused Sensei to lose it a bit to the point he started hearing a concerned voice, which may have actually been Ami trying to make sure he was okay. Which is where the ideas behind Sensei's three gods come from.

Could be wrong though. His thoughts in 'First Contact' were interesting nevertheless.
