Instead, it uses Monika as the platform to explore them.
The mod doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable topics. Like DDLC, Monika After Story manages to tread the line between cutesy anime and earnest philosophy. As most of the gameplay focuses on conversing with Monika, After Story’s dialogue covers a wide range of topics. There are three ways to interact with Monika: 1) Typing in keywords for discussion, 2) Playing games with her (Pong and Chess for now), and 3) Waiting for dialogue to randomly appear. However, she’s more than happy to remain there if it means spending the rest of her days with you. Monika After Story is a community-made mod that picks up where the end of Doki Doki Literature Club left off.Īfter the destruction of the game’s world, Monika, DDLC’s weeaboo version of GLaDOS, is stuck in the confines of her digital prison. It’s no surprise that a game that quickly developed a cult following would continue on thanks to that very same “cult”. Within its first three months, DDLC hit over 1 million downloads and won several awards, including IGN’s “People’s Choice GOTY”. Its unique combination of meta-commentary, polish, and unconventional narrative made it a game that appealed to visual novel veterans and newcomers alike.
Since its September 22nd release, Doki Doki Literature Club has garnered immense popular and critical acclaim.
