Is there a way to save Yuri?

I heard something about this

no.

all the girls will die/deleted in the except monika in act 3. you can choose to progress to act 4 which restores the other 3 girls and mc by deleting monika. though monika's still around in act 4, as a scrambled pixels that stays hidden in the background. when you reach the credits screen though, monika will delete everything in the game including herself, forcing you to reinstall the game if you want to play ddlc again.

the only way to keep everyone truly alive is to not continue playing the game at the festival day in act 1, instead reload from the earliest save you have at the start of the game. this will also keep you save from any of the horror elements in the game.

What I mean by "saving Yuri" is prevent her from going crazy and not killing herself but just getting deleted. Similar to how Natsuki went out went her neck didn't snap. I guess I shouldn't have said "save her" because I know they all get deleted.

sadly there's no way to save all the ddlc girls including yuri from their fatal problems. its just how dan salvato design ddlc itself, as somekind of satirical deconstruction making fun of typical anime dating sims genre+to fulfill the ddlc plot of monika's meta simulation 4th wall breaking epiphany thing with the metaverse corporation. not as a game with definitive happy innocent endings.

that's why there's a lot of ddlc mods and fanfics that wants to fix the ddlc girls' fates for the better.

If you’re looking for a few mods that retain the spirit of DDLC, but lean more toward a “good ending” then here are some you might be interested in.


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!
