The subconscious human mind is still a mystery to
scientists, so there really is no telling what is possible
with subliminal messages. While science has found no
credible evidence that subliminals in movies and
television have any effect on the viewer, there have been
many studies about how gamers supress eye blinks while
playing certain games and it is possible that the
introduction of subliminals under this scenario could
cause some form of hypnotism.
Here is one study's results:

If this is the case, Beta-7 should really be looking for
trigers in the outside world that send him into a hypnotic
trance. If he discovers those, he could get a hypnotist to
reverse the effect.
Perhaps this is why Sega sent a memo to programmers
demanding they remove all subliminals.
