In each individual save, players will need to construct two poems for each of Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki, respectively.
To get a much happier outcome, players will need to have a minimum of three separate save games during Act 1. If all of this is done, Act 4 will conclude with a farewell from Monika. Here, delete Monika.chr and then resume the DDLC application. Now, browse through the files option and into the Characters folder. In Act 3, players will need to exit out of DDLC and return to the Metaverse Enterprise Solutions desktop. During Act 2, players may make any choices as this doesn’t affect the final outcome.
This means the three poem creation sections should only be attempted once (or even twice, but not three times) and players should only pick either Yuri or Natsuki to spend the weekend with (not both). To get the normal ending, players need to go through all of DDLC’s Act 1 as presented without restarting and trying new outcomes. For the most part, DDLC is the same as the first edition of Doki Doki Literature Club, with a few adjustments for console limitations. Any time players load up the game a second time, they will need to enter the DDLC application from the top of the Windows-style Metaverse Enterprise Solutions main menu. Unlike the original release, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus reframes the main game as a virtual machine simulation titled DDLC.
