Spoiler for if you’ve not finished the game.

There’s no salvation for anyone. No happy ending. There’s a “nicer” ending, but it’s ultimately no different from the normal ending. Regardless of what you do the characters either cease to exist once the game is turned off (lifeless NPC sprites only imitating people) or they’re stuck in a horrible, static limbo until what’s left of their consciousness fades away (those who become self-aware).

The only sense of closure you’ll find is within the hidden content of DDLC+ as it’s a solid setup for a sequel and answers a lot of questions DDLC left us with.

Here are a few mods you might be interested in. While they’re non-cannon they’ve certainly been put together with a lot of love and respect for the story that none of them feel out of place or try to turn DDLC into something it’s not.


True Literature Club
TLC is a rather short mod that aims to add endings to each of the characters. There's even a shortcut feature to blast through the 3 poem minigames with a result screen saying who Liked, Loved or Hated the poem. The game doesn't change until you get to the Weekend choice.
Monika is still self-aware, but has a valid reason for choosing not to corrupt the game which you will only achieve if you unlock her Sunday choice.
Hint: Each character must love one of your poems at least once and none of them can hate any of your poems.

The Purist Mod
If you happen to be a fan of dating sims or want a fuller DDLC story this mod adds +11 hours of additional content, custom music and delivers it's own messages of patience, trust and acceptance. This mod doesn't change much until after the Sunday choice, after which you get into deeper backstories of the characters that feature both a good ending and bad ending. While this mod doesn't go through the "second half" of the base game it doesn't ignore what had taken place and even has a few cheeky reminders sprinkled about. The mod starts in Monikas "space room" where she is not happy that you reinstalled the game and tries to delete it, but realizes her power to manipulate the game has been taken away by the mod. She reluctantly agrees to help you "save them".
While Monika chooses to help you achieve the ending you wanted behind the scenes her route is still not an option.
Hint: Can you prove that happiness can be found here?

Monikas Before Story
Despite the name the mod isn't actually about Monika only. Rather, the game takes place shortly before the base game had taken place and the mod forces the story to alter in a way that the MC is the Club President, Monika is the Childhood Friend, Sayori is a close friend of Monikas while the MC tutors her in math and Natsuki and Yuri remain relatively unchanged. The MC has more personality as he's not some generic slouch, though the general beats to the base game are followed with these minor/major tweaks. Monika IS an option, but each character has their own story to tell should you pursue it.
Several times through the game it seems that the MC knows more than he's letting on, but at the same time it's more like a deja-vu dream to him. The game forcefully deletes the character files in the beginning, but if you want to dig a bit deeper there's a way to unlock a 2nd full game hidden within the files.
Hint: Don't let the mod delete the files!

hi! i love sayori:( there is a way to save her technically but her dying is part of the storyline and is not an optional event. if this is your first runthrough, i would recommend continuing with the story as saving sayori is not really an option unless you figure out the secret 'premise' of the game early on.

the only way to avoid this event would be if you already knew the ending and then with that knowledge, 'disrupted' the storyline from the start. if you would like to know read on. but major spoiler.

sayori's death is because of monika so to avoid monika manipulating sayori into killing herself, you would have to go into the 'manage local files' of the game in-library, and delete monika's character file.

enjoy the game!<3

Y'all'er mean! You couldn't just come by to hang out, swing by and say hello! No, instead you had to come and rope the OP into these high-strung notions when in reality y'all don't have a chair to stand on!


Did it make you chuckle or am I at the end of my rope with this gag?

mod the game.or take the ddlc characters out for some time in other less stressful games. or make your own stories for them.

[FISHY]

No she always dies no matter what you do. You can kinda save Natsuki though and I've also heard you can save Yuri.
