Watch part 1! ► • Game Theory: Monika Ha...
Theorists, it is time we finish what we started. Last episode, I started a deep dive into the secret organization running the DDLC simulations. Today, I want to talk about what is happening in the other simulation with Project Libitina. Team Salvation is planning something monstrous and no one, not even Monika, is ready for it. It's time to open our third eye to a whole NEW Monika... Marla.

*Fun Fact* : _Ive Laster_ is a sneaky way of spelling “I’ve Lost Her”, aka an Easter egg hinting that Monika has escaped.
@about you can you not.
everytime i see the name i've always had a nagging feeling; being that this is Salvato (and Co.) I could tell there was something about his name that would make sense. thank you for confirming.
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 thank you lmao, those bots are the worst
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 The detail Salvato puts into its projects is nuts, I really hope their studio makes it big, they deserve it.
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 I thought so too. I just wasn’t sure what exactly it was supposed to be.
Everyone's Fanfics and how they expect Monika to be in real life
How she actually is: A middle aged man
Like my roblox girlfriend (is a joke)
a funny senior engineer tho i'll hit that.
Even Better
the ultimate catfish
It’s not a joke I bet
I think its interesting to note that if Monika is a nurse and not a patient or experiment, and the other 3 are it also loops back to the statement of physical appearances being different than normal humans. Monika has brown hair and green eyes, while the other three have unnatural hair and eye colors possibly caused by them being experiments and Monika being a nurse.
Sayori has blue eyes (which are natural and even more occurring than Monika's green eyes) and her hair is somewhat (well I don't know how much) natural.
@@GamersUniverseOE not really
@@GamersUniverseOE Yeah, you can reasonably say that she has strawberry blonde hair
@@GamersUniverseOE In this case then it adds a little more since we know that Sayori becomes the new club leader and gains Monika's level of intelligence. maybe not a lot but it is interesting.
Oooooor that Monika's shoes are pink and she has black stockings
It's amazing the lengths the Project Libitina characters are going to to ascend to a higher plane, meanwhile Monika did it without even trying.
She's obviously way smarter than these brainless believers. Those people are sacrificing lots of lives whereas Monika just needed one Ive laster.
@@abedapoonawala4730 monika didn't do anything to have it, the dev team gave monika the access, unlike the academy who is trying to get the access themselves.
@@abedapoonawala4730 The team directly stated that they gave Monika too much power, so I assume they gave multiple individuals only a small part of that power in VM2.
@@nyxie2877 same thoughts. that power is the 'third eye' and those individuals are the ones with the third eye potential. the question now is who is this renier (could be Ro since he's the first one to work on VM2)
Although before i watched these videos, i really thought monika is in Paula (the project manager) and not in Ive because of the "with everlasting love" part in monika's final message and in 14.txt
@@carljhonodicta6860 U know, Idk with I am correct with this, But aren't VM1 and VM2 a little connected, So, As a senior engineer, Can Ive Laster, Who is Trapped In VM1 actually be Renier, As he is smart, he knows the world made by him, Even tho he doesn't have the third eye.
Game companies when matpat talks about their game:
"write that down, write that down"
Haha
We have to tell people this in a criptic way!
Lol... or just writer's in general.
@about you shut up you have been posting this on every comment this week
The worst part about Project Libitina is that despite all the horrible things they’re doing. Despite the horrible atrocities they’ve committed. They’re right. They’re 100% correct in what they’re doing, and their methods are working.
And it it is absolutely horrifying
@yeah can you not?
Could it be the AI are the villains.....again....
Amd the Humans making them too, of course.....
how are they right lol
@@rasmusgarbonzo1411 everything they're doing is working, and proving the points they're trying to make.
You know the third eye granting violent tendencies sound like it's a metaphor for the experiments being conducted by the team rathen than a literal interpretation. They grant awareness of higher knowledge and that causes the character (in this case Monika) to have an existential crisis and become violent toward her fellow classmates. Metaphorically speaking as she never harms them directly but also is willing to sabotage and destroy their files because she sees them as expendable.
Wow this makes so much sense that they are prone to violence cause they think nothing is real
Monika was a simulation test of what happens with the full knowledge of the world you’re in, from what I gather she is in the simulation what this project is trying to create in reality. She not only is aware she’s in a game but can use that awareness to manipulate it and talk to us, even if we can’t respond.
Monika was forced to delete her friends, because of her attempt to gather the attention of the player, she created the MC but his presence also garnered the attention of the other girls. Not only that but her simulation didn't allow her to interact dorectly with him. Forcing her to become the only option.
So let me get this right, Paula and Ive are in our world, and they created DDLC and PL. The characters in PL are becoming sentient and are trying to figure out how to "accend" to our world. Monika in DDLC has done this by "accident" and "escaped" the simulation. Are the makers of PL trying to mirror real humans to see if "they" can awaken by themselves? And if so, I dont understand how Monika is connected to PL, they seem to be two separate entities completely and idk how Monika can identify the characters in PL as her friends in DDLC???
@@thatperson181_02 I gathered that Monika has access to Marla's memories from PL
I had a thought, remember the poem Yuri wrote in the 2nd playthrough? The one titled "Wheel"? It might be a stretch but I think there might have been elements in it hinting at this truth;
"A rotating wheel" = Machine?
"A portal to another world" = The bridge between the Virtual Machines or the VMs and our world
"Expanding universe", "Time controlled by slipping cogwheels" = The VMs being simulations
"Existence of God", "A prayer written in blood" = Religious imagery
"A thread connecting all human eyes" = Third eyes!
"God disproving the existence of God" = the research team trying to prove that they themselves live in a simulated reality
Just a random thought xD
ooh!
@@Mirhaz300 Even as a Christian I do want to see how Team Salvato would use the simulation theory and cults for their next game.
I wanna know their thoughts of the world around us.
@@lukethekuya well, I kinda don't like simulated theory but yeah I just want see their thought about that.
Edit: also I remove it since i don't like start war.
Edit2: I rather ignore this theory since this made nonsense to me aswell. So yeah I turn off comment
@@Mirhaz300 Ah okies!
wait wait this might be a stretch but rotating --> rotater ---> ro teether
Did you notice how every single character in the game has their hair covering their foreheads where a third eye would be? I'm guessing the twist is they've all had three literal eyes the entire time.
This… makes sense. Their hairstyles and character design don’t seem to be coincidence.
If there's anything that Scott teached me, there's no such things as coincidence in lore games like these.
yo hold on- you my friend, are onto something
12:55 i think you're spot on. They've been breeding girls with the potential, and they've started to develope a literal third eye
i think you’re onto something
After all this, I can only imagine some people of Team Salvato being like "hey our next game will be so epic, with so much to connect back to DDLC, and so much hidden lor- wait, how people already know almost everything?"
Understand this was a paid promotional video, nearly every video released since he hit 1 mill is a paid promo. He dosnt care about what we want to see.
He only did this topic to promote ddlc plus.

I feel like the way each girl died will relate to the kind of torture they endured in Project Libitina. Strangulation for Sayori, starvation for Natsuki, and stabbing for Yuri.
Woah, dark but I think that's a cool idea
@@Brand_Fish Now that I think about it, Natsuki didn't die from starvation. She died from her neck snapping, but her father did not feed her enough.
Theoretically you could combine both options by having them starve her to the point where they could easily snap her bones
Idk if that would work though, I’m not a doctor

Fun detail: the DDLC+ trailer that was released has the player's name as "Ive".
where? i wanna see this
@@dobbynick GameSpot's channel, IIRC, had the DDLC+ trailer.
@@Acorn_Anomaly thats such a cool find
damnn MattyPatty been slacking off he should've been able to find that with ease
@@Rerolfer doing it the harder way isn't slacking lol
A theory based purely off observation: I believe Yuri is at least loosely aware of all of this in the second act of base game. Think of how aware she is that she’s acting differently than normal, whereas Sayori, who’s feelings were also altered by monika, didn’t seem to note her depression had gotten worse than normal. Before Yuri confesses her love and subsequently stabs herself, Yuri says something like “I don’t even care if monika’s watching!” which can easily be dismissed as Yuri showing she doesn’t care about monika’s jealousy, but also very possibly signify her awareness of the situation (we know how much DDLC subtly foreshadows). When you mention she reminds you of the character in Portrait of Markov, she isn’t distressed or put off( because she isn’t aware it’s her), whereas she instantly panics in the second act.
And one of the freakiest parts of the game- when her eyes become human instead of animated, tying in to the “opening of a third eye” theme.
Yuri as Libitina might be the individual in TEST VM that ultimately develops the strongest Third Eye.
So, unlike Monika, who was just forcefully granted complete awareness and admin access, Yuri and Libitina's AI have a specific combination of parameters that makes it easier for them to naturally escape the virtual machine sandbox all on their own. Probably connected to her tendency towards less common words and complex use of language. Chaining events in unusual ways is how most game glitches are discovered. And by studying how she does it, the engineers hope that it'll help them glitch their way out of their simulated world, too.
no joke, this is lowkey the best channel i've ever stopped by in years
literally everything i thought about the game has been flipped around and now this game makes SO much more sense

My thought: this new game is going to be a reverse of DDLC thematically. DDLC was something that looked and seemed upbeat and fun, then took a turn for the horrifying. This new game is going to be a horror show that is invaded by DDLC's Monika (either jumping over from her VM or from the outside via Ive as Mat theorizes here), and turns into a story of how she manages to ACTUALLY wrest a happy ending from this nightmare, not by selfishly changing things for her own benefit but by intervening on behave of the alternate versions of her friends.
Given Salvato's love for deconstructing familiar themes and mechanics on a level that surpasses a quick meta reference here or a gimmicky 4th wall breaking (DDLC is in a very different category than something like, say, IMSCARED or Pony Island), I could very well see Libertina/DDLC2 being exactly what you said
If this game turns into a dating sim wearing the adorable costume of a horror game I would find that hilarious. Full circle from the horror game wearing the corpse of a dating sim.

So "summer vacation" doesn't exsist
You are a bot aren't you
There’s no way they’ve just been spending the last 4 years on some redone art. This extensive added lore makes me think a new game is coming. And coming soon.
Obviously you have no knowledge of greed.
They probably did this to make us list after the next J J Abrahams style mystery box that will be empty… becuase there won’t BE a next game.
Last time I was on their official site (maybe 1 or 2 years ago) , Salvato actually said that, from all the people who work on ddlc, only one remain, I don't know if he was talking about himself or if there was another person with him, but this (and probably Covid) didn't help finish the game in time. I do hope a new game is coming soon, I really can't wait to see what type of game they did for the whole libitina story
@@noneofyourbusiness4133 what? Lmao
@@Lu-sm8zw it’s also possible he’s talking about the original ddlc project, not people currently working. At least that’s what I’m hoping for.
Team Salvato has no plans of making this "new game" what so ever.
I really hope they will make another game, I feel like it would help a lot with trying to figure out the lore. this game has so much lore to it, and most people don't really go into all of the lore
I'm sure they will. Don't think they released that updated version with all the extra lore if they weren't actively working on the next game.
@@Flaris did they say anything hinting to the next update?
I think that since Monika escaped VM1 and possessed Ive, she will probably also help the player by implementing hints in the machine on how to help the others and it'll give some lore about how she's doing in Ive's body. I imagine the hints either as dialogue spawning randomly or as marks on the walls a little like the portal "the cake is a lie" messages.
Confirmed: Project Libitina = Half Life 3.....?
Game journos would have a field day with this one
So let me get this right, Paula and Ive are in our world, and they created DDLC and PL. The characters in PL are becoming sentient and are trying to figure out how to "accend" to our world.

Momento mori you say? Is that The name of the song or are you trying to say something?
Ive Laster also sounds like "I've Lost Her", maybe indicating Monika fleeing the game through his body and him not seeing her anymore in the game.
THEORY: With the breaking apart and stitching together of body parts would leave scars and seams
What if Yuri's cutting is a metaphor of how she might of been a successful test of stitching together of body parts. With her being an amalgamation of people with a strong affinity towards "opening" the third eye, but her knowing she wasnt born, but created causes mental insecurities and makes it difficult for her to suppress her third eye.
Just like the project libitina text file states.

If Monika could communicate with Team Salvato- which are considered to be gods by the cult, that would make her identical to the proposed "perfect being" that the cult is trying to make.
Imagine the shock they would be in to find out that a prototype for their "perfect being" is but a nurse.
Also the nurse is not yet with powers probably will happen tho through monika going into the nurse
@@thecrimeboi4799 what
ruclips.net/video/g5_Lu7lqHaA/видео.html
@@hypermtg i think they meant "maybe the nurse doesnt have powers until monika controls her" if you didnt get the wording
i think that Monika will infiltrate VM2 and use Ive to help her with the files and Marla will probably realize that she is Monika i think that the one who ascends has not been mentioned yet and is that white haired girl with glowing eyes
I think i've found an explanation for the story of "Portrait of Markov"
Metaverse made VM2 as a simulation in which unlike VM1 where Monika knows she is in a simulation and can manipulate it, In VM2 they only suspect that they live in a simulation or know but cant manipulate it, so in order to find out if they do live in a simulation or breakthrough it, they start experiments on humans physically and psychologically to somehow create a way to either breakthrough the simulation or manipulate it. PROJECT Libitina is a simulation of what humans would do if they become aware of living in a simulation.Kinda scary when you think about it like that.
I think more that their ultimate goal is to reach our world. When you think about it, this is not at all different from our current wo
Damn this genuinely made my skin crawl and my spine go cold more times than in a horror movie
This makes me question our reality even though this is JUST a game.
Monika in the classroom in the sky has a dialogue prompt where she says novel horror is cooler horror since it relies on your imagination and the writer to explain the horror in a horrifying way
And the whole time Dan Salvato is just nodding along to this as Matpat basically invents the video game lore version of Rap God.
Haha well it's there to take xD
Imagine all this leading up to a rickroll
It's a little late, but there is a line where you say to Yuri that the main character of the book reminds you of her, and she gets all flustered and goes what I don't think I am anything like her. But her reaction seems to hint in that direction that she is the girl in the book.
I think it was addressed in the original theory for ddlc.
I actualy did that, now it makes sense
@@MisterIncog it's not
@@morganc.m1830 hm, good to know then
I was thinking of the same thing. And when the player character says it's because she's always questioning herself, Yuri says she thought it was because of something else, farther in the story (likely something like self-harm).
The game will come out this year guys I swear
Dan did say in 2022 that it was a few years away and the hope is that everything will be mostly done by the next 5 years which is until 2027 (by everything i think he meant the 3 games in total that theyre working on)
Diving into this game and hearing matpat go into detail feels great. Makes your brain work, come up with new theories and what ifs. I hope there's even more to find out and hopefully, find an amazing ending.
I think that the girls' (Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki) more negative sides of their personalities stem from their experiences within VM 2, or Project Libitina. I wonder if this new game would show how Sayori's depression, Yuri's obsession and self harm. and Natsuki's abusive guardian and neglect (him not feeding her) became such large parts of their personalities.
THTS SO SMART also love ur pfp
I mean it can make sense, natsukis experiment is not being properly fed, sayoris is probably isolation which is leaving her depressed due to lack of interactions probably sees her self not deserving of others because she hasn't been allowed to see other, while yuri could be one of their more successful test subjects since she likes the self harm and was one of the characters with the most connections to project libitina to the point she's heavily interested in the book based on libitina
@@leod.v.3854 i think that the portrait of markov wasn't originally in VM1 and somehow got in in a format that not just Monika can access and this makes sense because the two VM's are linked and Monika said that they all have some sort of memories
@@leod.v.3854 I think Yuri will become the "killing machine", as she described. She was a successful product of the experiment based on her traits in VM 1.
@@--.._ I wonder if the killing machine bit isn't actually an intentional feature of the project, but rather a side-effect of realizing you live inside a simulation and therefore none of the people (nor their deaths) are "real"? It's maybe just a psychological reaction that happens to everyone who realizes it. So I agree, I feel like Yuri was a successful experiment, and that's also why she has the book in VM1 - her remnant of being closest to Monika's level of access (but without developer intervention).
I cannot believe how deep this lore goes, thank you MattPat for opening my eyes (or should I say, third eye?) to all of this! I am truly blown away by how much attention to detail you need get all this information.

just a fun little fact :)
I feel like theories like this are the exact purpose of the channel, these are part of the theories that I will remember and refer to and that change my entire understanding of a game (or film or food) most theories are fun for entertainment purposes but usually dig into stuff not really meant to be looked too much further into but it feels like this game was just waiting for you in particular to dig in and make this video, sure a bunch of people gathered clues too but you just put them all together to make the real story known and that’s pretty awesome
Maybe the third eye is the higher level permissions that Monika has, since having a 3rd eye usually means some higher level of intelligence or fortune telling. In order to get a 3rd eye, you might need to have a variant in another simulation, like Monika does. This would make Yuri, Sayori, and Natsuki all test subjects with high 3rd eye potential. Just a small thought I had.
yooooo this actually makes a lot of sense seeing as that a lot of the “religion” that the people have in VM2 is based off real world stuff like their god being the game devs and the psychic power being some connection to the devs or some way to contact them.
I thought so too!!! That's why Monika is not a part of Project Libitina; shes an observer!
@about you shut up you have been posting this on every comment this week
Honestly thought this was obvious.
this would also make sense with the "dissolving into violence" angle, as Monica turned to violence in DDLC, maybe the others who unlock this third eye/higher access are doing so for similar reasons
When you don’t even play DDLC but Matt’s theories are so entertaining that you still watch
can relate-
Im too scared to play horror games, though Im very brave playing it with friends, without friends I wont be able to play the game.

While there's this definition of the name Libitina which gives us a possible answer for the "Name implies death" line at 12:44 "Libitina, also Libentina or Lubentina, is an ancient Roman goddess of funerals and burial. Her name was used as a metonymy for death, and undertakers were known as libitinarii. Libitina was associated with Venus, and the name appears in some authors as an epithet of Venus." and rewinding back to the 2017 theories Matpat concluded that Libitina is none other than Yuri based on that doctor's report ending with Renier being questioned if he has as much faith in his employees as he does with his god. Additionally Libitina could be the main subject of the game since not only is she a character, the whole project is named after her, and it would explain the "She will lead the path to ascension, and we will follow" line at 7:08. My Prediction (My Generic Brand Diet prediction!), is that Libitina (VM2's Yuri varient) will be our last and most dire rescue, since she cannot repress her third eye, which means we'll have to be VERY, VERY, VERY Careful, or else she might end up being the final piece to completing the angel in mortal skin, and oh boy do I want to knock Renier and the Academy's lights out and watch as their arrogance turns to pure, unadulterated fear as everything they worked for turns to dust.

@@YnForsaken Yeah, what do you mean?
I'm guessing OP is referring to their time in Libitina. Either fragments of their VM2 versions slip back to Doki Doki, or Monika's memory of them affected them? Idk, just a thought.
I do think that it’s connected. If not directly then it’s Monika giving them attributes that are directly drawn from Libitina.
Sayori has depression in the test VM where Monika has no access to VM2, so no, it doesn't seem like that's connected. Yuri and Natsuki though? It's possible

Kinda feels like they were talking about the amputees as a sort of "cattle". The limbs are amputated to stop the subjects from resisting in any way, and to more easily selectively breed the subjects. Doubt they amputate JUST for the limbs.

No. They talk about a reduction in resource consumption, and about connecting subjects in parallel. And minimizing the distances between people.

This actually makes a lot of sense, I’m really excited to see where Dan Salvato and Co. take this franchise. It has the popularity and the lore to really create some intriguing stories, hopefully it won’t be years away 😅
Honestly it sounds like they stole the idea from the movie the martyr but I don’t mind that much
Here is a link about what the movie is about ruclips.net/video/YR5DegKdLDI/видео.html
Haha 420
This lore is something else. Although this stuff is horribly disturbing, I honestly wanna know more.
I feel like the editors put their BEST work in the ddlc episodes
I remember that over two years ago, on a Bendy and the Ink Machine theory, I made a joke comment that Matt hearted and pinned about Monika being a human soul trapped inside a computer character.
Well, I guess Monika herself wasn't a human soul trapped inside a computer, but she instead trapped someone else's soul in there instead. I'm a partial prophet!
@about you self promoting will only make your "main channel" have a bad image
@Mr.Springtrap A body swap is trapping someone in her world while possessing their body. It's a little bit of both.
@about you shut up you have been posting this on every comment this week
I wonder if the Girls sad backstorys are based on how they are on the outside going through the excitements. Yuri could cut herself or has started liking and pain and can’t socialize. Natsuki has a older adult who physically abuses her alot and her form of torture is being starved. Sayori could be suicidal from all the expirements.

I think it’s interesting too because in the new game Yuri talks about finally finishing the book she’s reading and being done with it as if in their “controlled” world the book is just a book and doesn’t have the power to bring her or the girls in, they just move on and she doesn’t overthink it too much or stop herself like the original game. In the plus version she just calls it fantasy with multiple time lines and is hard to follow- she doesn’t see it beyond fantasy but she may have unintentionally see where it all aligns and even gave notes on how to sayouri- it’s like they’re incapable of understanding the actual meaning
DDLC is so interesting. The bulk of the story isn’t even known by the general player. Even tho most people don’t even dive deep into the story or lore, it’s still an enjoyable game. You don’t need a reason for why monika is self aware, it’s still interesting enough to continue the game without all the information. That’s why this game is so damn good
Right?!? For the theorists, there’s so much content to sink your teeth into, and for the gamers, there’s a lot of themes, meta aspects & music that you can just appreciate without diving too deep into the game lore. Its kinda what gives DDLC its charm IMO.
But the thing is, the countless amounts of theories could may as well be advertise the developer himself or the game which in turn makes it more popular.
Games: it’s so hard to come up with lore!

Maybe the “genius” with no third eye who’s advancing Libitina’s work isn’t Renier and is in fact Ive Laster? That’s if Monika definitely has changed places with him. It would make sense for him to have no third eye and to be considered a genius as he’ll have insight that no one else in VM2 could possibly have. Just a mini theory!
If Monika really has switched places with Ive, he would only be at the literature club. Cause Monika only has access to VM1. She’s slowly gaining access to VM2, but she doesn’t have a stable connection.
@@ariaofthe6strings230 That being said though, Ive would have elevated access just as Monika did, possibly even higher, since he worked on the simulation, not just knowing about it. If this is the case, it's possible he made his way into VM2.
It's also worth noting since both VM1 and 2 would be run on the same computer, they wouldn't be completely separate (as we see with Monika).
One reason why Ive could go into VM2 rather than staying in 1 could be because they mentioned before that they were no longer looking at VM1. If he tried asking for help there, no one would hear him. So, he goes into VM2 with his knowledge, and uses it to accellerate the connection experiments, so he can get the attention of the other employees.
Agreed, I speculated this too
I believe also it's Ive. He never had anything to do with Project Libitina. He never has opened his third eye according to them. Monika could've transferred herself as Ive into VM2. If she just transferred herself it would look pretty suspicious due to Marla being a nurse there. Also Ive would be technically dead due to nothing controlling the brain. Monika has seen everything that has been happening in VM2, so she knows basically everything that is happening in Project Libitina. Monika has all the information to "help" this cult. She made Ive join Project Libitina to gain their trust. They gave basically Monika the guardian role for Project Libitina when in fact she is guarding the girls.
im just adding this to your theory if this makes any sense
@@bobble68 I don’t think Ive would have had Kernel Access like Monika has simply because Monika YEETED him into VM1 or 2. It’s BECAUSE he doesn’t have kernel access that he can’t manipulate the reality of either VM. While the possibility of it being Ive is there, VM1 is a seperate entity. Even if it’s on the same computer, any administrator on a virtual machine cannot alter the files of other, NOT connected file to the virtual machine that said administrator has access to. It’s why if you ran a virtual machine of windows vista on your windows 10 device, your windows vista virtual machine can’t alter your windows 10 files. Unless deliberate, meticulous outside work was done in terms of coding and the changing of disk image partitioning would allow such a thing to be possible. It’s why in the emails, a member of the Metaverse team said she had an idea to establish a more stable connection to VM2 due to VM1 taking loose data.
i cant wait if theres ever going to be a new game, the whole desktop thing for ddlc plus was already super clean and cool. if theres a second game thats eventually released, i’d love to see what new development is made
Salvado has mentioned that he is working on another VN but the stress of ddlc's popularity caused some delays. Whether it's a sequel to ddlc or a completely new game it's tough to say
Me: How many 4th walls have you broken?
Team Salvato: Yes
When the dr says the patients have “different features than normal,” is he saying that those different features are what Yuri’s eyes look when they become hyper realistic?

@@4dsushi217 hmm, I think what they're saying is that maybe those eyes are the ones that are the irl counterparts/patient of Yuri.
it may be the third eye they're talking about, not sure
@@4dsushi217 no, it's in the game
I think when Monika "untied the knot" to the "screaming writhing misery" inside the other girls she actually leaked data from vm2's version of the girls making them change horribly bad.
This might’ve already been said but: Monika might have been the doctor who speaks of Renier and tries to make a clinical examination of Elyssa on the message within the first game. Hence why she says “if they remembered me in the other worlds”
Who remembers when this was new 💀
TW: Torture, Self-Harm, and Unaliving One's Self.
Okay, here's a thought. So, back in DDLC, each of the girls had character flaws or disturbing facts about them that were enhanced by Monika in an attempt to make them undesirable. What if those traits are a reflection of the torture they're enduring in Projekt Libitina?
Sayori: Clinical depression and suicidal. If she's being tortured, then that might be what causes it. Plus, her method of choice is one that would be the easiest in a hospital esque setting.
Natsuki: Malnurished and Aggressive. She's being starved and becoming wary of who to trust in the hospital. Plus, she seems to want to push people she doesn't trust away from those she cares for. This one's a stretch, but maybe she's trying to protect others in Projekt Libitina.
Yuri: Obsessive and Self-Harming. I think both of Yuri's traits are coming from Padded Room Torture. She's being locked away in a padded room away from others where she can't hurt herself. This is why she's desperate to keep connections with others and enjoys pain. It's kind of like a taboo of hers. This could also have more startling implications. Given that it might be padded room torture and Yuri's age, it makes me think of two things. 1. Yuri is being prepared to be dismembered and added to the collective. 2. Yuri is pregnant with a high potential Third-Eye subject.
Just a small Theory I thought of. If you have thoughts on it, would you mind sharing? I'd love to hear any constructive criticism.
i'm personally curious where you got the idea for Yuri being pregnant in this scenario. Would you please elaborate on that? it's an odd part of your theory but i'm curious how you came to that conclusion.
Yeah, there weren’t any hints or clues whatsoever to Yuri being pregnant, so I feel like that’s a stretch. If they did put her in the padded room it’s probably because she was either: 1. Highly dangerous to the other patients, and maybe even the staff themselves, so they have to lock her up, or 2. Since it seems that violence is what awakes the third eye, and considering Yuri is obsessive and likes to self-harm, she probably has the highest potential to unlock her third eye, but the cult needs her to stay alive until she opens it so they lock her up to prevent her suicide.
@@melophobia0504 Well, she's the oldest of the Trio, making her the most likely to be selectively bred, and if the padded room is true, then it might be to keep her from harming the kid.
Yuri does stab her stomach, which is a strange place to stab I feel.
Arms and neck are where someone who wants some kind of ‘out’ would go isn’t it?
Her stabbing the stomach area would make a lot sense if she were pregnant.
@@willydonka1041 I thought about bringing that up, but I wasn't sure if she stabbed her stomach or chest at the time of writing. Thanks for confirming that for me!
This is also an idea from a story telling perspective, but I think it could have some merit.
Monika could have been Elyssa. Elyssa being one of the original patients makes me believe that she could've had some influence over the formation of The Academy itself and not just her being a believer. Imagine if Monika, the VM2 version being unaware of the repercussions of her actions, tries to get everyone to understand they're in a simulation. Once she's able to prove it, they begin to form a cult dedicated to figuring out how to ascend. They have no issue with harming their (or other's) 'physical' bodies because they're NOT physical. They're not real.
Eventually Monika begins to realize that she went too deep, that even though it's a simulation it's still real to them. She begins to see the consequences of her actions and makes an effort to stop The Academy, leading to her (Elyssa) being terminated. I wouldn't say it's a stretch to imagine 'ghosts' being possible in this game, due to them saying how data wasn't being zeroed out between the servers. Monika from DDLC might be able to control Elyssa's 'ghost' and use her to speak to Marla, who becomes aware of the atrocities. It then becomes her goal to save the DDLC girls because of the emphasis Elyssa puts on them.
I don't know, but I like this idea and where it could lead. Thoughts?
thatd be fun
amazing theory
This needs to go into the subreddit
I also agree with this theory because Elyssa has 6 letters - same as Monika.
Ohh I like this theory!!
It will also create some sort of law or rule that no matter where Monika is, in the other games or universes, she always realises that she's in a simulation
shivers back from years ago came back to me today connecting this all together
Amazing that the only reason why I can analyze stories so well is because of indie games.
Oh no.
Thinking about this makes me so sad-- what if "The Portrait of Markov" was Monika's attempt to tell her friends in DDLC about the horrors of VM2? Was she trying to warn them? Was she seeing if they had the same access and could help?
wait that actually makes a bit of sense!!! does it fit with what Monika says about towards the ending?? like where she mentions it and then changes the subject?? I'm not thinking too clearly rn so I genuinely don't know loll
Nah, the book was Monica's way of giving access to the person who read it, Yuri, but when she got access, the memories and images she saw and heard drove her insane and made her suicidal. Those are not images that just anyone could handle, so Monica never tried it again with anyone else.
@@oberon1449 Or maybe SHE DID, with Sayori, and that's how she developed her depression
And maybe Natsuki retains those traces of abuse

The lyrics of the credits screen song "Your Reality" also kind of indicate the fact that Monika wants us to help her and grant her a good ending, a good future. "Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you"
*claps*
Yeah but there was no happy ending at the end of it due the fact that this game might be unfinished
@@imm566 exactly, and the fact that after we delete Monika and Sayori becomes aware kind of makes most theories about the new game not true.. wait I just realised a possible cause for Sayori to commit suicide after becoming aware... Maybe the fact that she is a child in the VM2 ??
@@whelve13 i can see that. Good theory
What if there's a DLC or something that comes out where you can finally date Monika and you go to the festival with the girls (I know it exists in the fanbase, but I mean like it's made by Team Salvato)
I am not sure if this has any bearing on the theory, but if you look at Monica’s attempts to block out the characters in the first game, the portions of the characters removed are pixelated body parts. Could these glitched out body parts have something to do with the body being created in Project Libitina?
Oh, now that's an interesting connection.
Some others here have noted Yuri's cutting could be tied to them cutting and stitching her and the others in VM2. Also noting her cutting isn't tied to self-harm the way it usually is in real life, more a fascination with blood.
Uh, i kinda created a comment almost equal to yours,
sorry. not copying, i didn't read the comments yet before.
Gonna add the though of @sh4d0wfl4re to this. Perhaps the increased affinity with the third eye, or elevation of access however you wanna put it, gives a window for Monika to transport the beings to the other VM?
Wilder yet, what if the characters desent to madness that happened in DDLC1 was just Monikas attempt to create a better similarity between the characters in VM1 and VM2. So they could be exported easier? Or perhaps that was the side-effect of the export?
God this franchise is so good. It makes you think.

plottwist, "the guardian" is the player.
We don't have a "third eye", yet we allow for the biggest leaps in the game ;)
Also, all this makes DDLC+ sound a lot like Assassin's Creed 1
But as player we would have knowledge of it being a simulation wouldnt that result in some level of third eye potential?
@@MrHerbertbauer well, we as the player can't actually communicate with the team in basically any way, we just know that they exist, so that wouldn't be any more third eye potentian than literally everyone else in VM2
Assassin's Creed: Doki Doki Odyssey confirmed.
@@theREALsilviautism isnt it that we as player are a member of metaverse working with the team?
we have access to all the files, the team member write Emails to us and all that stuff.
so its not that we cant communicate with the team but rather that we are part of the team. So just by lore we are in contact with the team and stuff, basically what the third eye is supposed to do.
@@MrHerbertbauer which empowers the theory of us being The Guardian.
We have knowledge that Metaverse doesn't have, we cause leaps in progress and we communicate our discoveries (that's literally the gameplay)
Wasn’t there an entity in the control group given elevated access without the entity discovering it? Could it be possible that this entity isn’t Monika but Yuri? Since she is reading the book that tells her about VM2 but she’s just not aware of it actually telling about another world. She has the access to the knowledge but isn’t aware of it.
That's a really cool thought. It makes sense to me, it's almost too obvious when I think about it haha.
I was pretty sure they said they didn't make a control group, they talked about it but ultimately decided to create a snapshot of the VM at an earlier point in time (the side stories), and just made sure Monika didn't notice her access yet
