Let’s Play Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! ![](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/7/4744eaca31dbe7dacbfd405294f6143f16999a56.jpeg) I’ve been devoting my Tuesday/Thursday release slot to more reading based releases. I just finished reading all of Heart of the Jedi, and now it’s time to move onto the next project. What is this? Doki Doki Literature Club is a cute dating sim visual novel where the protagonist is recruited to join a high school literature club by his childhood friend. Some have described it as a psychological horror, and while high school may have been a horror for some people, that is complete slander. It actually isn’t and if that’s something that will turn you off from enjoying the LP, this is your warning). DDLC was originally released in 2017 as freeware. The Premium rerelease (DDLC+) came out October 2021. It was ported from Ren’Py to Unity. To the best of my knowledge, the story is still the same. However, there are a lot of new features, wallpapers, music, side stories, etc. Is this a blind run? Sort of, but no. I have played through this before, but only taking Yuri’s route. I have also skimmed the guide for the good ending, but aside from some slight spoilers, everything that isn’t on Yuri’s route is new to me. You can see my old playthrough [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcqB3nQao9nD5F_dj9WBCGwASO5yAvbCW). Because that’s already been covered, Yuri’s route is not going to be available for voting, although because I plan on getting 100% completion, I may end up her route as well last. However, that depends entirely on whether or not it is needed. Voting? That’s right! Voting. To start us off, I need you to vote which route I take for the first run: Good ending: 1 (nweismuller) Sayori: Natsuki: 1 (Snowball) Yuri: Not available Voting will close on Friday June 10 at 9PM PDT, and I’ll stream on Friday at 9:30PM PDT on [my twitch channel](https://twitch.tv/bring_stabity) Why is this voiced? Because I think it’s silly, and I enjoy doing voices, even when 80% of the cast is girls. I hope it’s not too off-putting. If someone does want to join for a stream or two to give their take on any of the girls’ voices, do let me know and I’d be more than happy to have you cohost an episode (or a bunch!). Spoiler Policy? I’d prefer if you keep spoilers tagged. Episode 2 has some spoilers because nweis can’t help himself with the puns in stream chat, and I hadn’t formulated my spoiler policy yet when he was doing so.

Episode 1: Return to the Beginning ![](https://lpix.org/4305755/01.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v17ca9u-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-01.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-01:5) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/wVARm83doXU) I’ve played through this episode four times already. First for my original stream of this (lost the footage), second to rerecord (mic was broken and the sound quality was ass!), third to rererecord (that’s the version on the playlist above), and fourth for this entry. We get a rather cliche opening, loner high school student getting roped into an activity (or club) by his childhood friend. And the club consists of four archetypes, the childhood friend, the tsundere, the quiet girl, and the popular girl that leads the club. Is this all that there is, a cute dating sim? Or is there something deeper? There’s something deeper. ---

Episode 2: Did you say Manga? ![](https://lpix.org/4307434/02.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v17cc3e-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-02-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-02:5) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/fyO_WU81vBY) So, with Snowball’s vote, we’re taking Natsuki’s path for now. She’s cutesy, likes manga, and is a complete tsundere. However, we’re not too far down her route, and we can still switch to the good route instead. Depends on votes. Please vote which path I take: Good ending: 1 (nweismuller) Sayori: Natsuki: 1 (Snowball) Yuri: Not available ---

Episode 3: Just a Little Peek ![](https://lpix.org/4309732/03.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v1895xt-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-03-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-03:a) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/lIi9n9l9OUw) Marissa breaks the tie for us, so we will be going down Natsuki’s path. Natsuki is of course stubborn and set in her ways. That gets us very close to peeking up her skirt, and all the problems that that causes. Please vote which path I take: Good ending: 1 (nweismuller) Sayori: Natsuki: 2 (Snowball, Marissa) Yuri: Not available ---

Episode 4: Four, Just Like the Wall that We Keep Breaking ![](https://lpix.org/4310776/04.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v18gbl3-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-04-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-04:8) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/MQV57hoTY-M) The school festival is coming up, and that means we’re close to the end of act 1. We’ve written all three act 1 poems to Natsuki, so we are firmly on her path. Sayori is acting quite weird though, it’s almost like it’s foreshadowing. ---

Episode 5: Act I Has Experienced an Unexpected Error ![](https://lpix.org/4314109/05.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v196nhj-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-05-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-05:7) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/5Da2ZIa8bco) Sorry, the post is quite late. However, we have reached the end of Act 1. And the end of other things as well. This episode does get dark, but we at least have a wonderful date with Natsuki beforehand baking cupcakes, and we do reach the start of the School Festival. And we wrap things off with some really weird shit. ---

Episode 6: Act II is Act I All Over Again ![](https://lpix.org/4317619/06.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v19cw5l-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-06-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-06:8) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/DA5s6ImqlYk) So, this was supposed to come out last Thursday. The uploads were up, I just could not get a post up. Too many things pulling me in different directions. I’m going to pause releases this week, partially because I don’t have a backlog, partially because I have a ton of things to do in RL. Anyway, this episode has us teleport all the way back to the start of the game, but we’re missing Sayori. The game behaves very strange, full of glitches, and it becomes obvious that Monica is able to mess with the game, almost as if she’s aware that this is a game. ---

Episode 7: Act II is a Glitchy Mess ![](https://lpix.org/4346515/07.jpg) Preferred Hosts: [Rumble](https://rumble.com/v1f6o73-lets-play-doki-doki-literature-club-plus-07-natsukis-route.html), [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@BringStabity:f/DDLCP-07:7) Regular Host: [Youtube](https://youtu.be/HI3Chyb1LQ0) So yeah, I’m back after 6 weeks instead of just one week. Oops! Anyway, it’s quite fitting that Act 2 continues to be incredibly glitched out. Girls are talking with possessed voices, and lots of other things. Still we’re back, and I even have the next episode already recorded, which wraps up Natsuki’s route. ---

That is the end for Natsuki’s route. Next on the list is Sayori. Let’s see if we can do any better. Spoiler, I’m pretty sure we can’t. If things go according to plan, I’ll be streaming the next part in 20ish hours. ---

I just didn’t get around to uploading it until over 2 months later. Oops! Anyway, I’m back now, and starting off on Sayori’s route to see how that goes for us, and if we have any better luck. We won’t. ---

We’ve written our third poem, and that just leaves the weekend event. Sayori is really out of it in this episode, and even leaves home early. It’s almost like she’s… hanging on by a thread. ---

I don’t think it comes as any surprise to realize that it doesn’t work. This game is quite cursed. However, Sayori’s second death marks the end of Act 1, let’s move onto our second round of Act II. ---

I’ve been collecting things I’ve missed on the previous runs, and the next episode is going to be a very annoying look at Act 3. ---

Most of that was the first half of this year giving me no time for anything, but the rest of it was trying to get a time that worked well for me and a cohost. Because this episode is just sitting in the void and waiting for Monika to talk long enough to get the achievement for letting her monologue for long enough. ---

So, she comes over and we paint a poster together. Plus, there are lots of moments where our protagonist could have seized the day, but he didn’t.
