Fun fact: this game CAN have a good ending! It requires you to save and reload to the start of the game just before you see the Sayonara scene (the name of the song thay plays when Sayori hangs herself, yes I know fucked up joke) and replaying it and cattering the poems to a new girl. Once you see all the scenes, you play act 2, which plays as normal. At act 3 aka the end, instead of sayori going crazy, she thankd you and let's you go willingly since you beat the game and the letter is a heartfilled thanks from the creator, Dan Salvato. If you decide to get the plus version, know it had more wholesome content via Side Stories and more meta secrets to find, but nothing g to the base game
The most wholesome game in the world! Seriously, it’s ridiculous how wholesome this game is! It’s adorable, cute, and has wonderfully colorful characters!
The main game in the new version is the exact same. The new version brings the Side Stories, which are just background stories for the characters, collector things, and other similar stuff edit: english is hard
@@crimsonxero5924 Oh I’m aware of that, since I’ve done literally everything in ddlc+ multiple times. My point is just that the main game (which is the mode she was playing) has very few changes to it.
This game was so hype when it first came out. I remember watching every RUclipsr I watched play it and seeing everyone's reactions to all the crazy stuff was awesome. Glad this came out since I had never even known you played it
It was interesting to watch your playthrough of this because mine... was different. There was an arc for Natsuki which I think you skipped somehow, and the Just Monika part at the end had a freaky bit if you don't delete her file. You may not see the really scary part of that scene, though, depending on the name you use in-game...
man, the nostalgia with this music! I went so far into the arg secret hunting with this game when it came out. It feels good to be back watching another playthrough after so long.
Ah yes, this game almost gave me nightmares when i first saw someone play it, took me totally by suprise! the fun thing is that even the Steam page of the game has hints about whats gonna happen, its really well done.
I have to freaking admit... in my 38 years of live I've NEVER felt what I felt playing this game... There are very few games that can make me feel this... unpleasant agony?? It imposible to describe it in just a word or two. For me, this game is a masterpiece. It's an extreme emotional rollercoaster, made especifically to mess with your mind and emotions.
I'm the only one in my friend group who played it before I knew about the crazy bits. That sticks with you longer lol the music is what really drives home how intense the moment was
@@PacifriskYT I played this game 2 years ago when I was 12, my sis recommended it to me saying that it was a horror game and I played it, thinking how scary a cute game like this could be. I started playing at 1am and ended at 6am (I read slow, plus I had tons of freak out moments cause I'm someone that gets frightened easily) I had to just stay up till the day was over, couldn't really sleep that night :T
You literally cant win because monica is "sentient" and messes with all the character files basically turning their worst traight up to 11 and creating mental illnesses in npcs Sayori got her turn with the sentience at the end theres the perfect ending where you get a thank you note from the dev team through Sayori theirs the game that supposed to come out . . . Sometime that where all these characters escaped from into the dating sim you can copy monikas file and add her back into the game and she throws a fit and deletes herself its such a weird little game with so many fun little things
54:25 rou got a rare occurace. the sound is the neck flesh/the rope tighning well done for the its extemely rare. its from sayori's pov not do fun fact: sayori has blood a=on her hand beacuse she tried to realease her self because she knew it wasnt what she wanted but failed! sleep well
Yuri: "Surreal horror is often very successful at changing the way you look at the world, if only for a brief moment." [on second time reading that,] Dan of Game Grumps: "Dan Salvato, you sick sonuvabicch!"
I just have to say that this video may have saved someone's life. Shortly after this was uploaded, because of this video, I sent one more message to someone, and their response tipped me off that something might be wrong, and through that I was able to talk them out of an attempt. So as random as that is, and how it could have been anything, and how I can't know how things would have gone - thanks. This was very well timed.
18:17 "I hope Sayori has a happy life." Oh, dear... 19:00 Yes, Natsuki is talking about herself. If you play through her route she mentions how she lost a lot of friends because she still like manga. 32:57 How prophetic. Granted, not in the way you were thinking, but still... 39:24 Check out the background. 45:05 It's nice to hear someone else defend Kix. That said, you can dress up pretty much any healthy cereal with strawberries and bananas. Just saying. As for unhealthy cereals, Resse's Puffs are really good, but few things are better than Fruity Pebbles. Incidentally, I love the hoodie.
caught this video as it said you'd never played this before. something about seeing people play this game intrigues me because i wanted to see how you'd react to all the major points of the game. certainly a fun watch.
The fact your principal said to lie says a lot about them already… I know it was in 4th grade but if that person is still around I can already tell what kind of person they are and I hope they have karma ruin them if it hasn’t already hit them by now
Man, I'm always so sad when people delete Monika's file right away and won't listen to her at all :/ I know many people skip all the dialogue after there is always a few seconds of waiting time, but atleast until then. Even skipped the Streamer Easter Egg in this.. Still, really fun to see your reaction to it, even if its 2 years old lol.
@@SarahKey It's sooooo frustrating how many people in chat want to insist the streamer see all the details they know about than to experience the game. Another common place people get their experience ruined with "check files" spam specifically is when you get the Bad End and restart. Everyone I've seen pay attention to chat during that gets knocked *completely* out of the moment, and often miss a few things too while distracted.
@@hurkyl1560 Twitch chats can be the worst sometimes. I'm firmly on the side that everything in the game files is for a 2nd playthrough. Instead for newbies, I treat DDLC as the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" of Twitch where memorizing the script and throwing in chat lines at the right time can enhance the experience. Saying "Who is Sayori?" the first time the streamer says the name in Act 2 usually gets a fun reaction. And of course joining in on "Just Monika".
I just wanted to bring this up but to get the true ending you have to do all 3 routes. You do this by loading a save file and picking the other girls before the second act of the game.
@@cyasta2357 I think you still hear her sing. But rather then having Sayori go crazy she thanks you for spending so much time with the club members and the whole thing ends with a letter from the creator of the game.
Ngl I'm a little sad she didn't listen to Monika's monologue in act 3 a bit more haha. She has some interesting things to say which also help explain what tf happened if you're not too sure after your first playthrough. There's also a different ending OvO, And now there's Doki Doki After Story too..! You should play that ^^
Sarah, If you liked this game I really recommend also a very special game - Everlasting Summer. It is free visual novel made by russian programmers. I guarantee you like it!
If you like visual novel games, you can try Danganronpa 1 and 2, 1 also has an anime adaptation, while 2 just has the game , and there is Danganronpa 3 anime that concludes the trilogy series, and it has a few game spin offs.
monika
Ayyyy
Just monika
Just Monika
Yup!
Is that a jojo reference
"You kind of left her hanging this morning." Will always mess me up every time I read it. Monika is something scary
at what minute does she says this?
@@rebeccap.8523 34:28
"I am? Oh, ahaha."
True, reading that line on GTlive made me think about things, very depressing things
Monika the pun queen.
Seeing someone play it for the first time and how it goes downhill is always fun
Indeed
yep agreed
Late but I is very fun
@@whitespace226 Later but agreed it is very very fun

34:28 "You kind of left her hanging this morning, you know?"
"Left her hanging"
*"L E F T H E R H A N G I N G"*
insert laugh track.
Monika has some punny humor.
Every time
Monika:"You really left her hanging"
Me: "It begins"
I got the message on the second I read it. She really mean literally hanging...
Yup
"I think I'm Sayori"
*Kill Bill sirens go off in my head*
The most wholesome game in the world! Seriously, it’s ridiculous how wholesome this game is! It’s adorable, cute, and has wonderfully colorful characters!
And death
And suicide topics how cutesy ♡☆☆♡♡
41:41 "you might cut yourself on that edge, Yuri"
YOU MIGHT CUT YOURSELF
this flashforwards are unbelievable
Yeah.
She literally accuses Yuri of cutting herself the next line, that was literally the intention-
@josephburkhart6602 for a game about literature it's shocking how illiterate its fanbase is sometimes
"Dangit, can't watch it cuz I haven't played the new version yet..."
*This was recorded 2 years ago*
"OH THANK GOD"
The main game in the new version is the exact same. The new version brings the Side Stories, which are just background stories for the characters, collector things, and other similar stuff
edit: english is hard
@@dougpouncey Actually, there's a really awesome ARG in DDLC+, so what you just said isn't entirely true.
@@crimsonxero5924 Oh I’m aware of that, since I’ve done literally everything in ddlc+ multiple times. My point is just that the main game (which is the mode she was playing) has very few changes to it.
The fact that Goff was standing there the whole time and you didn’t notice has me in tears😭
man i remember this first making the rounds between friends and streamers at it's release and whew, WHEW, the initial reaction really is the clincher
I like how Sarah's coping mechanism for this game's weird shit is slowly putting on chapstick. :'D

Sarah : "This footage is from two years ago"
Axel: "Two!?!"
The most wholesome creator on RUclips vs. One of the most unwholesome games ever.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Only thing that wasn't very nice was the way her dad or whatever kept scaring her near the end, but yeah, I'm gonna check out more of her content.
man, the nostalgia with this music! I went so far into the arg secret hunting with this game when it came out. It feels good to be back watching another playthrough after so long.
Is 5 years really long enough to be nostalgic?
54:44 -- I don't think I've ever seen someone so anxious about a solid black screen.
Ah yes, this game almost gave me nightmares when i first saw someone play it, took me totally by suprise!
the fun thing is that even the Steam page of the game has hints about whats gonna happen, its really well done.
Lol this game gave me nightmares when I looked up the game's wiki before seeing the game.

Did anybody notice the flash of monika over Sarah at 40:28. I’m hoping that Sarah did this on purpose, lmao.
Ah yes, the game that makes clear it's a horror game.
As I've found out the hard way: *don't forget the horror tag*
I'm so sorry you had to go through that lmao-

If you guys look in the background slightly to the right of Yuri at 39:25 you can see the Sayori Death Poster Easter egg.
omg it's the substitute teacher story, i'm pretty sure you told this a little while ago too, we love coming full circle

I've sort of made a hobby out of collecting DDLC Lets Play videos, and this one is on my short list of favorites. Your reactions are wonderful.
18:01 YOU GO SARAH, YOU TELL EM QUEEN
I've seen a handful of other LPs of this game, but your reactions are so delightful!
Came for the playthrough.
Stayed for the amazing detention story.
Excellent work, Sarah and Jonathan!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR TWO YEARS. I AM HAPPY.
54:25 rou got a rare occurace. the sound is the neck flesh/the rope tighning well done for the its extemely rare. its from sayori's pov

Too bad she deleted Monika before the 4th wall break :')
To get the best ending you must spend time witb everyone in act 1 using multiple saves bef9re entering act 2 when things get crazy.
I first saw this game four year ago and “hxppy thoughts” still scares me to this day 😭

19:00 Yes, Natsuki is talking about herself. If you play through her route she mentions how she lost a lot of friends because she still like manga.
32:57 How prophetic. Granted, not in the way you were thinking, but still...

Incidentally, I love the hoodie.
This gives me hope that someday we might get a Danganronpa video. Or AI: Somnium Files.
"This video is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed"
Gotta love how that was written in Comic Sans
Sarah!!!! this is the best halloween present ever THANK YOUUUUU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Lmao, never thought I’ll watch you play this cute\creepy game and actually laugh 🤣
I still need to re play this game, I love it
59:50 I... don't remember seeing this in doki doki literature plus...
1:07:32 best part!
finally something good in my feed. Sarah got me eatinggg. Now i wait for XC2 content
There’s no way it’s been two year already?? Time flies fr fr lol
I'm so happy you got to play this game! I also recently played this game and it was so much fun ^0^
I forgot how disturbing this game can be and I kinda got shocked at some parts again like it was new, oof...
Aaaaaaw she didnt get THE jumpscare
You caught on so quickly @47:59, Sarah! Well said!😆👌🏼
one day I'll get plus and play it for myself
I had not heard about this game at all. It feels like someone played undertale and it blew their mind so much they decided to take it to the extreme.

Glad you finally played the game! PLUS, SAILOR MOON JACKET! And since you are a boy in the video game... you should've called yourself Sora.

Waluigi, somewhere: y'all hear something?
If the MC is sora, then...
Natsuki is kairi
Yuri is Riku
And Monika is uh... Mickey?
Kairi: All this bad stuff would stop happening if you just hanged out with Mickey more, Sora.
Just Mickey.
Just Mickey.
You know... considering everything... wouldn't Namine kinda fit Monika?
@@nathanevans1382 kinda yeah but it's less funny.
Whoever scared her while she was playing deserves a raise.

Im so happy ur finally playing it!!
A content warning is unexpected but now I'm more intrigued 😂
This got me effed up. Video gets a 10! Game gets a 1. Boyfriend doing scares: 12. 😅
Im just watching act 2 now, but look at the wall.
I see someone experiencing this game for the first time I click
