(Spoiler) When You Delete monika.chr Early Doki Doki Literature Club

Play the game from a fresh install
Start your first play through
Save and quit before much happens
Go into the game files and delete monika.chr from the characters folder
Start a new game

[@masteryi3683]

to explain what happened.. sayori becomes aware of what she really is.. that she is just a character from a mere game so she panics and deletes everyone in the game files. when you wait on that hanged sayori pic for 10 mins , a quote will appear "nothing is real" therefore this game is fucked up…

[@heehokuzunoha7757]

I seem to be the only one fascinated by this alternative ending. If you think about it in the context of this game, it's like if an intelligent being immediately popped into existence and immediately became aware of the fact that their reality isn't real all while having no actual knowledge about what they're supposed to be while still having knowledge about certain more abstract skills like observation, language/expression, and the ability to think. It seems pretty terrifying when you think about it. Probably the only moment in the game that chilled me.

I think it's because Monika is supposedly responsible for the game's script (having started the club, and made you join through sayori), that when you delete her there's literally nothing for anybody to do.

[@GentleMannOfHats]

It's implied in the end that the president supposedly gains sentience so with monika being deleted she had a existential crisis and realized what she is. I'm probably reading to much into this

[@jacobb9672]

Oh that would make sense. It also sits right with the idea that the president of the literature club is infact responsible for the script, seeing as they are responsible for the game, the game being the literature club itself.

[@alexhackett1312]

I think it’s explained in the Monika ending. To put it in short, the president of the literature club will always be self aware at not have a date route. Without Monika existing Sayori becomes the president of the literature club and looses her route. I can only assume that she can’t handle not having a route and subsequently kills herself (as seen if you try to open the game again.)

[@TitanDweevilMassacre]

+Alex Hackett I think it's moreso she can't handle not being real at all, route or no route. She's already severely depressed to the point of being suicidal anyway. And no, that's not due to Monika "modifying" her; remember when MC mentions her "accidentally" causing a housefire that nearly burned her house down? Yeah. Hit me like a freight train when I realized it myself.

[@OmerKing916]

@@alexhackett1312 then if sayori dies, yuri becomes president then she also becomes Sentient. And possibly kills herself leaving natsuki being the president and the game just gets weirder and weirder

[@madelineanon5952]

She becomes sentient whenever Monika isn't in the game and the reality of being a real person with real feelings stuck inside a game forever makes her want to kill herself.

It shows what happens to her if you play the main game, other than that I have no idea why it's there

[@myeggyweggy]

Oh...

[@mishukyashuki8897]

she ended herself for not being able to comprehend the fact she is not real + her mental illness didnt help at all with that, Monika was very sane to learn programming and create a path to live. the plot of the game is the president of the club will never have a path with the mc but Sayori does have one so concept got conflict, she realize her life is just code and since she don’t know how to delete herself (code) she just hang her self again like in the main game when her insanity reach peak. Like Mon-ika said, Sayori is not the really intelligent type considering she even hang herself wrong

[@BIadelores]

Think of "our world" as their own lovecraftian secrets. They say if you learn the secrets of the universe in Lovecraft mythos, you would go mad, because there are things the human mind isn't meant to comprehend. That's basically what happens here. Because Monika's folder is deleted, and doesnt exist in this save, the game world defaults to making Sayori the club president in order to continue (because this is what naturally happens if you complete the game proper), but initially she's confused because she's just suddenly president out of nowhere. The thing is, the club president in this universe is basically god, but this god is self aware and knows that it only has power within this universe, a universe which exists exclusively to serve the player and there is no true freedom, just a loop of subservience. The true plot of the game is the fact that Monika knows this from the start, and has "accepted" it but attempts to reach the player (not the MC, the player) and make them fall in love with her. This ending is Sayori realizing the truth immediately, realizing that none of her life is real and there's nothing more than just *this*, and the sudden existential dread drives her mad, deleting the whole game world and killing herself in the process. If you do this, the game becomes permanently unplayable unless you hard reinstall. This is acutally sorta my favorite ending. I really like the way they thought about this.

[@majsapphiirose517]

Kenkenthatsme actually there is! if you want to know, basically you save the game once it starts, and then begin playing the game on one of the character’s routes. right before sayori commits suicide, you go back to the early save file and play the game again, this time on another character’s route. wait until right before sayori’s suicide again, then repeat with the 3rd character. this gives you a special ending.

It's true. You just have to be very careful about when you save before Sayori commits suicide. You can't save right before you walk in her house to find her dead, you have to do it earlier than that morning she doesn't come to school I believe.

after seeing that all the other characters have been deleted I decided to restart the game and it showed me a black screen which is written the end I believe and then I saw Sayori's death in black and white and it was very scared

[@yannabear1389]

I did that and panicked. So I opened the game again and it showed Sayori hanging. The screen was like static. I quit the game and my computer needed to restart. I let it restart and it did it again. And again. So I just decided to erase my computer. But, it restart, AGAIN. So I just decided to never play the game again. Like seriously, the game was terrifying. And I guess it got to my computer system too. ;-;

[@AlisonClaires]

There's a file called "first run" in the main folder that you need to delete in order to play the game fresh from the start and try and get different outcomes/storylines. But yes, agreed, a terrifying and good game. It didn't get into your computer system aside from that.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

the game doesn't mess with your PC except for the game files. Don't worry about that since it's illegal and the developers are aware of that. They merely scripted the game events to make it "look like" your PC is affected aka breaking the 4th wall. Fear doesn't originate from the game itself, but from you the player.

It happens if you delete any character from the game. I did to Yuri then sayori and they both got the same ending.

[@Alexaq268]

What probably happened is Sayori randomly gained sentience as she walked up to us and couldn't process it and the game eithee deleted itself or Sayori deleted it, maybe because uncontrollably because of Sayori's unstability, how fast she gained the knowledge, and the fact that Monika had been deleted out of the blue. Or Sayori just couldn't handle it and basically killed herself and her friends by deleting everything.
