1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Really?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx31

The only downside is that the air conditioning in the room is too small.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

🪢

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you okay? Can you make me happy?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to make you happy!!

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>5

That’s tough.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was it a happy family if there were no outside interference?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I can’t do it because I’m scared.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder…

It seems that depression was suffered without any interference.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Special Poem

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think it would have been better than Natsuki if it weren’t for Monica’s interference…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

What should I have done…

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

The protagonist’s response was terrible, so there was nothing that could be done.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Even without Monica’s interference, I think once the switch is turned on, there’s probably nothing that can be done.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

A serious menhera, or a mental health patient, is…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you deal with depression properly, she is just a bit heavy and cute.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I am kind, I am worthless, so I will die, right?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s very endearing how they try to act cheerful in front of the protagonist.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

The protagonist, after confessing their depression, is stepping on landmines as if they’re executing a roller operation, and it’s amazing.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like a small animal just like Natsuki, but there is also a large dog vibe.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Compared to others, it’s probably the best.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

I tweaked it a bit because it was too easy for players to clear.

Somehow… the circle crashed…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of game was it originally…?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

In the Plus version, you can see the state of the literature club without the protagonist, so I guess it was something like that.

I only vaguely remember, but I feel like the game itself was just a microcosm for observing Monika.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s cute, but I can’t like it because I fell off the chair in surprise.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

The tension before opening the door and the hanging is bad for the heart.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I felt stronger about the question of why rather than being surprised or scared.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

But I like you the most, Sayori.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Personally, the hand-drawn hanging illustration after the first hanging was tougher.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s scary when this guy sits in Monica’s seat.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

Thank you for making Monica-chan disappear! Saying stuff like that is just too sad.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was the protagonist’s response like again…?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish we had gone to school together in the morning.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s clear that this guy indirectly killed him, so I still can’t bring myself to like Monica.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice how the hands are covered in blood, as if resisting the scenario and program of committing suicide.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt very painful when Monica detailed everything.

Hanging is a really painful way to die, huh…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because I… because I started the game, it ended up like this…

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Well, it’s Monica’s fault…

Sayori has the right to be angry.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The fish my older sister loved…

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

So, when is Project Libitina coming out?

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>40

Wait for 2018 to come.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

It’s now 2025.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

This means that it is still not 2018.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish you would stop suddenly distorting your face and attacking me like that; it’s really unsettling.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

In the end, as Monica said at the last, this game itself is just a testing ground that hurts both players and characters, and the answer is that there is no hope here.

But I like the author.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The relationship that turns into one that leads to death after being really close is just sad, isn’t it?

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>43

If you look at the summer lily, too.

It’s sad that Yuri says, “She’s not the type of person to do that!” after fighting in the main story.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see how Natsuki and Yuri will react when they become the club president.

It probably won’t turn out well.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Yuri will almost certainly be rated 18+.

Natsuki seems to be breaking.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Originally, there was an ending where both of them would be happy by supporting Sayori’s depression, but I wonder if this protagonist can do that!?

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The random jump scares that keep appearing as the game keeps breaking are surprisingly scary.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Natsuki is a good child because she won’t suddenly die.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>47

For some people, it’s scarier than death!

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>47

But then your neck will snap…

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>47

I’m scared it will break my neck suddenly, so please stop…

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The problem is that the managerial authority is assigned to the department head in the game.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The protagonist does everything they shouldn’t do.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m scared but I like how you’ve come to take care of this immediately after realizing the truth since becoming the manager.

Well, if that world is more important, you’d want to eliminate the player…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was personally more surprised by the still shot facial disarray just before the neck-breaking dash.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Putting aside the broken neck, Natsuki throwing up and running away is so cute.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Natsuki’s vomit dash was a bit of a relief.

I realized that you were still sane.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>59

Even though Natsuki has some childish traits, the real problem isn’t with them but rather with their family environment…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first round was extremely sad.

What should I have done?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was normal, but Monica turned out to be the one that was really bad when she lost her depression.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it amplifies the elements, isn’t Natsuki’s toxic parent portrayal crossing the line from the original scenario into gal game territory?

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>63

It might have been an erotic game.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

What is unfortunate is

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>63

Isn’t it pretty likely that there are gal games with that kind of element?

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>63

Well, there’s that common thing where, at first glance, it’s KAWAII but then they want to unnecessarily throw in elements of dark or evil themes in otaku content…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

The game already has those tragic stills of Yuri’s death, you know…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that if you collect the CGs, you get the Sayori department head ending?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Sayori when all CGs are collected.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

The moment she took Monica’s place, she drastically changed, so I don’t really feel like she’s a good person.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

Once you become the position of a department head, it just makes you awaken to the truth…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Becoming a manager = becoming aware of the fourth wall.

It’s probably that Sayori is in a tough spot, but if Yurinatsuki becomes the president, she would probably do the same thing.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering the original closeness of the three members of the literary club, it was the protagonist’s fault that they ended up in a conflict.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Even if they’re going to circle back, what is up with that protagonist and their exquisitely out-of-place choices and lines?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it might just get strange once you become a manager and recognize that there’s a higher world as a game character…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I am your number one ally!

That aside, I’m going to play with the other kids!

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

The deeper I think, the more I find that it’s a cat game with only malice.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why isn’t there a Natsuki ending?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Knowing that Monika completely messed things up after recovering from depression, I also gained the power to mess up the world in the same way.

The last Sayori is probably mentally broken.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>80

If you want, I might suddenly erase Monica and commit suicide…

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>84

Speaking of which, that was the case…

In the end, that final sayori is not in its right mind.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t you think Monica is the best, No Name?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t really understand if they were depressed from the start or if they’re being messed with in every setting.

Natsuki feels like they suddenly became a neglected child due to their strict parents, but was it like that from the beginning…?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monica’s memo has stopped too.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry, Monica, but even if she were a target for romance, I don’t think she would become popular…

I don’t know how to put it, but they’re the type of person that’s hard for otaku to approach.

I want to try debating with Monica.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to try the Switch version, but I wonder how it’s different.

I hope my Switch doesn’t break…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

The Switch version, or rather DDLC+, has a virtual desktop screen that appears when the game starts, and from there you can start DDLC or manipulate data files.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

Since that was my first play, I thought, “Ah… there’s some kind of gimmick here…”

It was a shame that I couldn’t get that excited when I noticed that Monica was erased…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

From the perspective of a gal game heroine, Monika is quite something.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rain cloud

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Because I was playing on the family’s shared computer, my dad’s name came up during the climax. I wonder how he’s doing…

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t there a lot of stuff that seems okay to release to the general public on Switch?

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

But I like Monica because, for a character of this kind of meta-narrative, she doesn’t really insult the player much.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

Ha, are you satisfied with this? Go away.

…I still like you.

After you said that, your reality already…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit sad to think that Monica, after all, is just a game character who can’t escape the programmed behavior, always insisting on hints for the settings file.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

If this had been released now, it might have led to an endless generation of conversations through AI, resulting in many users becoming trapped for life.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like teacher and senpai characters, so if I can go for it, I would probably choose Monika first.

If there’s no route, there’s nothing we can do.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

just monika

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

First, get your body in shape with the support of the department head.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Why are you trying to bring me back? Please stop… it’s so painful to hear Monika say that.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The size of the air conditioner is truly so small that it captivates everyone’s attention.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first, when I became Just Monika, I was reading the text nervously, but gradually I thought it was charming.

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I will never forget the feeling of “ah…” when the conversation finally went in circles.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

If it were now, it seems like we could create infinite monitoring rooms using AI.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how the person who used to carry Monica around via USB is doing.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wanted to spend the weekend gazing at Natsuki’s corpse.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

Don’t kill Natsuki.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

It seems like Yuri might die in the ending…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

“It’s not that he’s dead, but that he’s been physically erased.”

They should not have suffered.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>112

Understood.

Well then, I’ll delete it.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Stop putting surprise elements in the in-game soundtrack! I completely did not expect that!

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

Is there such a thing…?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

It’s not the anonymous person above, but I think it was something like the BGM suddenly changing to a bugged-out feeling when the soundtrack was playing.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

It was the necessary item for 100% completion.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a boyfriend who doesn’t understand me at all.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

The struggle of a girl without a route is sad, isn’t it?

No, I’m sad too! Why isn’t there a route for this character? Tsukahara-senpai!

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There are three heroines, two of them are mentally unstable and one has a toxic parent, which is a bit too aggressive, right?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really tough to have three or four days pass in the classroom while skipping texts since Yuri died.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

Don’t blow it away…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

It was nauseating to watch the bodies gradually deteriorate, even though it was being kept mild.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are already a few anonymous users who have become deeply absorbed in conversations with GPT…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

It’s common to make someone a “menhera.”

Fun

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Monica, realizing she is a game character and feeling despair, finds out that there is a real world where people are interfering with this game, and her desperate plea of “Look at me! Love me!” is quite endearing.

The means taken for that, making the other heroines go crazy and eliminating them, is really malicious.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>118

Since it’s originally a romance game, wasn’t it that you could only interfere with the heroine?

Even if I try to change the options or have a conversation just the two of us, the scene is forcibly moved along.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuri-chan is not just a menhera, but simply a crazy person.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

If she hadn’t messed with the settings, she’d just be a cute girl with a few painful spots…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like your personality for making sure to eat a cupcake at the end because you can’t eat anymore.

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Should I teach Monica to GPT-chan and talk forever?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>127

It seems like you’re doing something related to Monika After Story.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like Yuri was on the verge of reaching a different dimension on her own, but I can’t remember if that was a delusion.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>128

I have a memory of seeing something that seemed to have some kind of background regarding chr.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There was actually an incident where a man who fell in love with AI committed suicide…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

If only the protagonist were not there, it wouldn’t break…

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I was scared when I heard Yuri-chan’s confession about Penny.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

A world where everything goes well as long as the protagonist isn’t present.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, I saw Monika in the comment section when streamers were doing their broadcasts.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the bugged song sayonara?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

+ I think I might give it a try.

I’m curious about the additional elements.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

She’s a girl who knows how to be considerate and doesn’t reveal her real name when she realizes that someone is using streaming software.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

But it’s irritating that it’s being distributed without permission, so I’ll surprise you.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

Stop with the jump scares!!!

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

The most enjoyable scene has come while watching the stream…

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

But Monica’s talks are kind of complicated, aren’t they?

Since we went to all this trouble, why not be more affectionate?

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>143

In the right sense, being highly conscious makes it impossible to actually get along…

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it only requires reading all the lines and settings, AI Monica can be created easily.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice that there are no protagonists from additional scenarios in the literature club.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I messed up with the data, and when I launched the game, all that showed up was a blank white background with an image of someone hanging, and I ended up crying.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

Don’t delete the character data!

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Monica’s occasional air of being a high-awareness girl is cute.

I also like it when you say that erotic things are not okay!

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There aren’t any idiots in that literature club, right?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

Because it’s the literature club.

I’m actively working on it.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

The main character, you know…

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Kyukurin is nice, isn’t it?

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Monica is so wicked, but when she monopolizes the conversation, it’s not good that it continues with rather uninteresting talk.

Let’s get cozy.

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>152

It’s an incredibly good conversation, right? What would make you happy?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rotating wheel. Axle rotation. Grinding. Bolt head. Linear transmission. Falling sky. Seven sacred stakes.

A ship that is anchored. A portal to another world. A thin rope bound by a thick rope. Torn horse gear. A parabolic transmission device.

Expanding universe. A sliding gear that regulates time. The existence of God. Swimming in the open seas in all directions.

Drowning. A prayer written in blood. A prayer written by a serpent that devours time with human eyes.

The thread that connects all living eyes. The kaleidoscope of the sacred stake. An exponential transmission device.

The sky of exploding stars. God disproves the existence of God. A wheel rotating in six dimensions.

A clock with forty gears. A clock that advances a second with each rotation of the planet.

A clock that advances forty times with each interval. It is staying in another world.

The bolt head of the sacred stake tied to the ship. A kaleidoscope of blood written with a clock. Forty gears and

Prayers that devour the time connected in all directions by open human eyes. A breathing transmission device. A breathing bolt head.

Breathing ship. Breathing portal. Breathing snake. Breathing god. Breathing blood. Breathing sacred stake.

The living human eyes. The living time. The living prayers. The living sky.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

The positive side story is recommended because it can be enjoyed with all combinations.

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not just a gathering of book lovers; we’re seriously into literature.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>160

The poem, you know.

I don’t understand.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are only crazy people here, but the one who suddenly gets high and slits their throat is so fast that it’s almost a joke.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since there was a mention of Libitina in Plus, I want to believe it hasn’t been completely forgotten… but Plus was released four years ago already…

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

The tense atmosphere during the journey with Moniyuri was quite a rare type.

167: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you say something terrible that would definitely end the relationship, then it’s over…

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has it really been 8 years since the release of this game?

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Natsuki’s poems because they are easy to understand.

It could also be said that I don’t really understand the others.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Monica lately…

I wonder if they’re mumbling about something.

171: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s tough to see a normally good story in a side story.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist steps on landmines quite often, but more than that, these characters themselves are like a minefield, so I think even if the protagonist weren’t like that, they would eventually end up the same way.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

The poem about sayori is easy to understand.

Get out of my head.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like summer lilies.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember saying that the protagonist’s chest seems bigger than usual when you come, doesn’t it?

It’s an insult that wouldn’t be surprising if you got killed for it…

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>175

For me, it’s a serious complex, so it’s just like that.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the one-on-one with Monica is probably designed to be intentionally boring.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>176

The feeling of despair when the lines looped was incredible.

I think it was probably the reaction the author intended.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had to choose from among them, it would be Monica.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wake up, sleepyhead.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monica and Yuri are somehow my favorites because they have big breasts after going around in circles.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish I could have played mini-games like arm wrestling with Monica.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I went to see Monica's page, there were quite a few illustrations that made me feel like crying.

When I went to see Monica’s page, there were quite a few illustrations that made me feel like crying.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t get bored, you won’t be satisfied there and won’t move on to the next thing…

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

Be careful not to hurt yourself as your chūnibyō worsens too much.

Oh, are we doing it already? (laughs)

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like how in the second round, Yuri’s mind is all over the place in the second half, yet her speech remains completely composed, except for that one moment when she becomes really aggressive during the fight with Natsuki in the beginning.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are various things about her that are not great, but I still like Yuri as a character.

So, I can’t wait for 2018 to come soon.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Monica’s world, it’s still Meg on Twitter…

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s still 2017.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

The name sounds like a fish, and it’s been on my mind all the time.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if Monica isn’t crazy, the heroines are reaching their limits hidden behind the clueless protagonist, so it was originally a game meant to enjoy a bad ending.
