After she hanged herself and you started a new game, the game pretends that Sayori never existed.In the first scene where she runs towards you her name is not readable and she’s glitched out again Alternatively, if the game is in fullscreen mode and is being played on Windows, it will display a fake BSOD instead. The dialogue is the same.

If you thought the game is over, you are wrong. In fact, the horror has just begun. Sayori is deleted from the game (by yours truly, Monika) and her character file is gone too.The book may be a reference to to the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov, known for creating the stochastic processes known as Markov Chains and Markov Processes. This “Markov process” is the testing of certain variables and the states in-between the variables that are tested, like the state between birth and death or the state between fertilization and birth.

When this square is translated into binary, the result is a Base64 string that can be translated again: Secrets, presented to you in-game as " Special Poems", are chosen at random when a new game of DDLC is started.It is possible that this poem is a hint of a new game being released in the future and may be related to the description of the book Yuri mentioned, as the characters in the poem are not mentioned in the game. Not much is known about the reasoning for this poem. After Yuri describes her book “The portrait of Markov” to you,a file will appear called “iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.txt”, opening it will result in this text: This text seems to be a spoiler to the upcoming game Team Salvato is working on. Natsuki’s Base64 Poem This was obviously written again by Monika,described by the quote:All I want is for you to hate them since we know that she has been messing around with the girls personalities,to make you hate them and only love her. “Have a Nice Weekend!” You have to rename this file into a .jpeg file (natsuki.jpg).Opening it will result in this odd discolored image:

We can see her eyes twitching and the urge for her to vomit after a certain scene.She’s laughing like a psychopath,we can also see her cutting and stabbing herself in Act 2. A collection of each of the characters' original sketches before being outlined and colored in. Natsuki's head angle was changed to make her pose more natural and candid, rather than striking a model-like pose.It is not sure yet if the fanart poster in the DDLC store are a clue for Project Libitina too, hence there are red threads surrounding everyone exept Yuri, in fact, the strings seem to be emerging from her and could create an connection between the four girls: When going into the menu during Act 2 there’s a 2% chance that this picture of Monika will flash for a second.

The first playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club (or short DDLC) seems like a normal dating simulator. For those who do not know this game or still plan to play it, let me warn you again: This guide contains spoilers and possible disturbing content. So if you happen to dislike Creepypastas and deep stories, you should stop reading this and leave. Play a nicer game like Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 or Human: Fall Flat. Because DDLC has secretively hidden a horror game underneath it that we will explain in this guide (that’s what you came here for right?). What Team Salvato also hid in this game are many easter eggs and a lot of clues to the upcoming horror game that were actually in plain sight the whole time through your second playthrough. While playing for the first time, there will be 4 files in the "game"/characters folder. Each has its messages/links and different ways to decode them. The phrase "Nothing is real?" could refer to the revelation that Monika tells the player about, perhaps her first thought when she realized everything is a game.

So the final question is: Is Yuri really Libitina? And if so, who is Elyssa? Maybe her long-lost sister? Does Project Libitina even have anything to do with DDLC? No matter how many times you play. It’s all the same. It would be really, really easy to kill myself right now. But that would mean I don’t get to talk to you anymore.
