If you don't know what Doki Doki Literature Club is, check out the page and scroll down and download the free version, or download it off Steam.
It's also got a huge af modding community. Some mods are funny, some are sad.
Some are really fucking good, some are literal brainrot.
Some are very vanilla, while some others are whole ass overhauls.
It never ends. It just never ends. Send help.
> Hell I even tried making my own mod, horribly failing in the process
By the way, These aren't supposed to be spoiler-free reviews, so be warned.
Also I've never reviewed a single thing in my entire life so take everything here with a big ass grain of salt
Every character in this mod is super well written, which is incredible considering how many mods skimp over some of the characters.
Do you know how Monika is usually a piece of shit in every mod? Well in this one she's actually quite an enjoyable character.
You know how Yuri is always boiled down to "hahaha cutting :D"? Well none of that here. She's a fully fledged person with like character development and everything.
Talking about character development, this is one of the only mods where I actually enjoyed hanging out with Natsuki.
But if there's one character that I really think deserves all praise, it's Sayori.
She's literally a lovable bun here, and her relationship with MC is incredibly beautiful.
Please give this mod a try (if you have the time to play it because holy shit it's long as fuck).
The girls get voice acting which is a bit of a strange addition but a welcomed one, and the little scares here and there made me a bit jumpy.
The ending was a bit OOF tho, like it feels rushed, but the rest of the mod is quite fire. I recommend if you're interested in a Sayori route mod.
This is a really good fucking mod. Imagine you're playing DDLC, but instead of the MC's perspective, its Yuri's perspective.
The new writing that's been added fits really well with Dan Salvato's story.
I decided to do something funny and launch the original game along side it and play both games at the same time.
It's so funny seeing Yuri's thought process and inner monologues compared to the MC's.
Her thought process, struggles, and emotions are incredibly expanded upon and I loved delving into them and comparing them to how the MC's.
I love the way she turns silly and happy and jolly when she thinks about being friends with the MC.
But the part that I loved most was how Act 2 was handled.
SPOILER ALRT I DONT CAER!⚠️!
I usually super super hate yanderes and tropes like that, they make me very very uncomfortable,
(which is an incredibly hypocritical thing for me to say, considering this is a Yuri focused mod)
But this mod made me feel like I understanded how Yuri was feeling, like it somehow made me connect that much to her.
I'm usually super squirmish when it comes to self-harm, blood and all that gory stuff, and I hate it when I get jump-scared...
But this mod managed to execute it so well that... I actually enjoyed IT???
Honestly, I don't think any piece of media has ever pulled that off before. Huge respect to the creators of this mod.
Monika was still a bitch tho, love how not even this mod is safe from turning Monika into an asshole.
The Mario 64 music is the cherry on top. I recommend playing it.
I don't even remember from where I got this mod (it was hard asf to find) and I'm still super early into it.
I'll update this once I finish it.
UPDATE: HOLY fuck WHERE THE FUCK DO I EVEN START WITH THIS MOD T_T
No wonder this mod was so hard to find, what a fucking MESS.
OH YEAH SPOILERS i dont care this mod isnt even downloadable anymore!!!
MC sucks so much as a character he made me see Monika as a GOOD person.
Yuri tries to help MC explain things properly and not be aggressive, which isn't a bad thing, but MC convinently forgets all of that and turns into fucking hellspawn when Monika shows up.
Dude goes out of his way to blame her for everything. Even when she tries to think logically and rationally about stuff, MC is quick to dismiss everything and be all butthurt about it.
Dude's denser than a blackhole. Every time the timeline resets he becomes more insane and more unstable.
By the end of the mod MC loses his fucking sanity, becomes schizophrenic and believes an angel sent by God itself came from heaven.
Said angel tells MC to kidnap Sayori?? AND MC TORTURES HER AND ENJOYS IT??? AND HE ENDS UP KILLING HER ANYWAY????????
Oh yeah fun fact: Today I had a dream about being at a church or something, and when I woke up and fired up the mod... I saw that CG...
What is this witchery.
Anyway the plot is super cool but the execution is a mess.
All the characters are cool except for MC and the weird angel.
This entire mod is a sin.
Yuri barely exists in this mod, the protagonist is dumb as shit, and Monika doesn't help one bit.
I hate it but it was the very first mod I've ever played so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Only remaining qualities is that it actually made me tense up, and the Radiohead music is fire.
Monika is a fucking bitch, which shouldn't even surprise me considering how many mods do her dirty,
but she actually becomes a more enjoyable and understandable person as the mod goes on, so I'll give it credit for that.
Yuri is a weird yandere slut and acts pretty much like how she's in the original game's Act 2, which is fine but it feels a bit too sudden.
There's this cg of natsuki with a lot of *cake* and she does the naughties several times with mc.
what is this mod. how old are these people. what the fuck.
There's one more character that I haven't talked about, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Sayori is a fucking asshole.
This mod somehow managed to turn the most bunbun sunshine happy jolly girl ever into an annoying fuck???? how???????
Go play Redux instead.
please dont play this
...Just don't.
