I just watched the first three episodes so far and it could be something like what you said, minus the masturbating part. Sure, he has delusions of his favorite anime character figurine, Seira, who he calls his "wife", accompanying him as he lives alone in a sea container. He only cares about anything in the 2D world and not the real world because of his otaku nature: watching anime and playing MMORPGs. The show itself has a female being involved with these events so far, but in my opinion, it could be that he's being delusional and he's seeing things when he's actually involved with these events. If you are a psychologist (or psych major), he's basically your perfect subject.
The show itself is mysterious, it makes you really wonder whether what you're watching is a delusion or this stuff is happening for real. It feels like I have more questions than answers, like, "Why does he not remember this particular girl?" or "What's the significance of the whose-eyes question?", and to find out the answers to those questions you have to anxiously wait for the next episode. As for the comedic-side of this anime, I don't see a lot of comedy, other than the main male character calling Seira his wife, and her telling him not to worry about anything and just play your MMORPG game. Oh, the police involvement on investigating the events makes it have a Death Note-like aura to it. With the events occurring, it's expected that the police investigation will become a major part of the plot.
The OP sequence and ED sequence music awesome to listen to, as well as the insert songs played in one of the first three episodes. I'm preferring ED song, Super Special, because of its catchy tune, mostly sung in English (not Engrish) and ironically, the artist's name is Kagami Seira. The OP song, F.D.D. by Itou Kanako is a fitting song for this series. The "Do you want to save" prompt at the end of each episode is a nice touch, since this series is an adaptation of the PC/console game. The show is interesting, if you have time, at least watch the first episode to get your impression on it. It's difficult to explain without spoiling the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
EDIT: By the way, you know what's really scary (or freaky or awesome, your pick)? The links shown in the show are actual links that we can visit.
