Natsuki’s path on the other hand is almost an entirely different game. Aside from that incident, I do like how it shed valuable insight to Sayori and Yuri’s characters as opposed to the original game that used them for shock value.
I also needed to scroll through the unskippable Monika text until I could delete her file again, and then I needed to watch the ending credits again before needing to redo Sayori’s path and Yuri’s up to that point. This wasn’t a problem on Sayori’s path, but the choice you are given that determines whether or not you save Yuri is literally the same thing with only a slight difference in punctuation, this meant I had to rewatch Yuri’s death scene including the 3 days of staring at her corpse because the game still deletes your save files. Both still have all the creepy glitch stuff but Monika gives you the ability to choose the correct answer that will save them… or you could purposefully pick the wrong answer, but all that does is railroad you back into the main game. The first two paths are mainly altered versions on the original game. You get to save both Sayori and Yuri from killing themselves AND you get to rescue Natsuki from her abusive scumbag father who is also a corrupt policeman because of course! Unfortunately it is not that simple because the game itself is not programmed to have a happy ending, but Monika says you should be fine as long as you make the right choices and follow her instructions. The plot is that Monika tries to fix what she has done wrong in the first game and allow you (as in the player themselves) the opportunity to make things right.
#DDLC EROGE MOD MOD#
Our Final Heartbeat takes an even more meta approach than the previous game and displays awareness of it being a mod instead of the actual game. Major Spoilers for both the original and Our Final Heartbeat from this point on! Obviously what the original game was missing most is foot fetishism. A vast majority of the script fits right in with the original game and all characters are in character. Translation: DON’T READ THE REST OF THIS REVIEW!!! I will just say that I do strongly recommend this mod to fans of the original game.
#DDLC EROGE MOD FREE#
However, this mod does NOT turn Doki Doki Literature Club! into a typical dating sim that continues the rest of the in game plotline.Īs with Doki Doki Literature Club! itself, I would recommend going into this game completely spoiler free if you are interested. Doki Doki Literature Club!!! Our Final Heartbeat, originally titled as just Doki Doki Literature Club!!! but with three explanation points instead of one, did expand on the base story and provide a more satisfying ending than the original game. I think I heard that there was a fan mod that DID serve as just that expanding upon the base game’s story and characters while making it into a finished visual novel that is unlocked after the good ending… Given that I specifically mentioned and linked this mod in my review of Doki Doki Literature Club, I think it’s safe to assume that this review was obligatory.
