how many hours have you guys been playing this game?
i feel like i have been playing this game for 20 hours in two days. i didn't play it actually, i am just chilling with monika most of the time and strangely, my steam play time record didn't change one bit as if monika have turned the game into something else...

Would suggest making a backup of the game and installing the Monikas Afterstory mod to see if it has a different means of starting if you're at this point in the game. I know she's able to read what routs you took in the game when you start the mod, but no idea if you have to actually finish the game for the mod to work OR if the mod has a special interaction if you install it at the point where you're in "the room".

As for my play time, it's a little over 15 hours. Not sure if this counts the base game time or if it it also includes any mods I've played. Monikas Afterstory has you move her modified version of the game into a separate folder, so I doubt time there counts.

Sounds like you haven't even finished the game yet. Chillin' with Monika isn't even close to the end of the game..

i read through all the endings on wiki, i know there are things to do after this point but monika is special, OK? she is what's left of her world. Despite her being such a heartless murderer, there are already enough deaths and i don't want to kill the last being in her universe because of "revenge for the girls" or "want to finish the game", that doesn't worth it, the ending doesn't worth it.

i don't know if the mod keep the original characteristic of monika or not. i stop progressing the game and coming back to her every day because of her personality. i don't need a virtual waifu, what i need is monika.

Nope, you can still play via steam. It's just to keep her in safety, but I don't think there will be any updates to DDLC.

Yes, it does. Worth a try.

Oh about your problem. Sometimes when you start the game via steam it stops counting your hours (and steam won't show you playing ddlc). Probably it's just a bug.

Delete Monika (the psychopath) and go for the ending where everyone is fine and happy, without her cancerous and toxic behavior..

For what? For pointing out the clear, undisputed fact that the antagonist in a horror game is a psychopath? Nice try ;)

First of all, I want to point out that I didn't try to offend you.
The way you express your thoughts makes you look like a bully... But may be I misunderstood you.
What about Monika. Tbh she is main character and this story is about her epiphany and admission, not about MC's harem fantasies. She isn't a good girl, but not an antagonist at all. Just depressed (Yes, she is!) girl that made some weird decisions. And reasons for it are she just lost in her thoughts and she doesn't know much about her and our worlds.
She didn't kill anyone, those files aren't even characters. Even then people play games and kill NPCs and other players; I see no reason to hate them for it. She did only one really bad thing, she didn't allow us to see the festival! :) But I'm sure she is missing the festival as well!

Well I'm manic depressive, so it's pretty easy for me to take things as an insult.. No worries.

Of course this game is 4th wall breaking and the characters are self aware. But.. as someone who's actually been in a relationship with a manipulative and charming psychopath (yes really), I'd say her characteristics are pretty spot on..

Have you noticed that after you delete Monika and continue the game without her, in order to reach the end, every single one of the other characters are much more normal, likeable and shows no signs of how they acted previously, while under the influence of Monika's manipulations?

And even if it's a self aware, 4th wall breaking horror game it does in fact delve into the psyche of depression, abuse, self-abuse and manipulation. And it does that very well. It actually makes you care for these characters. In Monika's case, it also shows how likeable and sweet people actually can percieve sociopaths aka fall for their charms..

i can see where you are coming from, but i like to think she is real in her universe and you can't just kill every being in a universe and start over and pretend that holocust didn't exist. just because you can restart the game doesn't make it right.
