Renegades Recap... Game Theory - Doki Doki Literature Club Parts 1 & 2

before we begin the video I would like to give a big shout-out to a most recent patreon supporters Brianna dream maintenance sugar domes infinite ginger rerekura me Tom or the Rickson Michael Foster Ethan version Joe Lewis lon Dave Moore and Caillou esta mean thank you very much for your support and if you wish to support us on patreon feel free to click the link below in the description to find out [Music] [Music] these words almost never fail me every time just Monica just Monica just Monica I deleted mark URI for life huh they said I lost all attraction to urea when he started doing weird voices for I mean you've still got some dough you've got something find out oh you mean when I when I did my Herbert voice and like my Tyrone voice and the Squidward voice hello my name is Yuri and I like to write suicidal poetry sorry well dunky dunky literature club is a is a game that came out in 2017 yeah yeah and teams-- avada I remember I remember a long time ago myself and the meme squad we watched our we played doki-doki literature Club and then we watched the game theory for doki-doki literature called literature Club and I didn't play through playthrough this time but it did sit in for probably the most jarring moment of the entire game and did some voices and had fun but these two played through it in its entirety and here we find ourselves yet again recapping the game theories the to game theories plus a update post from team savato as to why a game did not come out in 2018 but we'll get to that so yeah game theory we actually did a Oh didn't notice it that survives OBS they have this all back yeah they got the counter back nice think we can tell how ridiculously long we've gone on each video they don't remind me because I say I played it on so if you guys want to see my playthrough we can link it in the description you want to watch the whole thing Manuel that stayed up the whole night playing oh god y'all were up three now I'll be you finished it faster than we did we last we went for nine now I started going fast as a point because AI was getting a little like frustrated with the fact that I was having to read the same [ __ ] again a lot I was like do something cool bo bo is just like oh crap if we're gonna finish this tonight like I need to be a bit very soon so I was just trying to rush a little bit so I think that's what we got through a little faster but uh still though it was it was pretty cool um I think it's not quite as disturbing as everybody said it was it's because it got ruined for you man problem but some people certain people ruined it for you we know who you are it didn't get ruined for me it just it was like you know after it's been out for that long you're gonna hear about it so like I knew yes I knew it wasn't just a regular dating Sam you know or anyway there was a point to me playing and I was playing because I knew it was gonna turn dark at a point that's what I was waiting and of course like I mean the first tag on stream is psychological horror so it doesn't really hide itself yeah although although but it was actually really sad and I was in a weird [ __ ] mood for the whole next day very strange mood the next day for some reason like it was kind of like when you watch Donnie Darko I can see in a weird mood like I mean obviously if you're watching this you probably have played it I hope you're not watching this and just getting everything spoiled for you like this is exactly what we talked about when me and the meme squad reacted to this a long time ago it was like disturbing like whenever the first character kills themselves obviously because it's you know it's a suicide boy the way they set it up is actually a lot more depressing than disturbing to me yeah so well it's kind of just like sad about it I guess the whole next day yeah the second one killed herself at that point the game had kind of already broken elodie so I was just kind of like all right like when that happened you know it's plus the fact that I had seen in a gift for something like that girl stabbing herself before so it's kind of like that's where that's wrong I think I remember exactly what it was from it was a twitch timing it was a twitch timing compilation okay because the guy was sitting there he's just like this can't possibly get any worse right it can't any click no and all of a sudden she starts laughing and he's like well something funny stabbed and [ __ ] and I'll say he's like mmm yep yeah the game the game is like it's slow there's but it's subtle too it's like the little like music dropping out and like the turrets of the screen just slightly different than they were before or things like that it's very lair it plays with a lot of subtleties yes and that's that's what I think is so fun about it is because it's not outright like trying to be like disturbing scary jump jump it's like I'm gonna make you feel a little uncomfortable for a while it's like that feeling I got when I watched midsummer yeah yeah midsummer does do that whole scene where this stuff starts slowly tilting and then all of a sudden everything like spins around and I was thinking of doki-doki the whole time I watch one scene that one scene where everyone's just like dancing around and everything's distorted and they're all talking gibberish and I'm just like I'm like this reminds me of certain wait a second actually like when they first go into it they have this whole scene where it's like slowly tilting and then it's like everything it's almost like the world spins around oh yeah but then all of a sudden it's daytime all the time mmm and it's just like nobody really like I mean like the kind of mention it but nobody is like this is [ __ ] weird well it is I mean that's actually some reason why I want to go to Iceland because Iceland had like during summers have days that lasts or 24 hours right and I'm and me I'm just like I can imagine being up for 24 hours and just being like like what time is it they'll be like it's actually 4 a.m. what it'll be completely confusing that's actually I have a friend who's been to Alaska and there was a time he didn't sleep for two and a half days and he didn't feel it because his brain didn't register that it had been two and a half days because you know he was so close to the Arctic Circle and during the summer solstice I actually would love to live in Alaska that is definitely a place that I would go isolate myself and last frontier Reinecke yeah cuz you're gonna die up there yeah only the last place you live yeah freeze or get eaten by vampires or older bears you know a multitude of other things can get you you know but don't go don't go like that for Deadliest Catch that uh you know work on a crab fishing boat oh yeah you're gonna go yeah you're gonna get crushed you're gonna have a bad time yeah all of a sudden you pull out one of those king crabs it all sudden looks up at you realizes what you're wanting to do - it's like I'm gonna eat you now oh yes so all that being said though doki-doki we have both game theories up here we're gonna watch them both in succession and look at the team savato announcement that came a little bit after these came out so uh let's see what happens here we go uh three two one what was that speak to me go Oh septic I am sweet and there's a picture wait that that's not who I wrote this gag another one what's going on here wait hey Deb Deb are you pranking me you promised you'd spend time with me Matt me and only me it's pretty good hello Internet welcome to game theory what's our goal to systematically prove that everything in your life is secretly terrifying oK we've made you fear public Wi-Fi minimum-wage jobs and even the house next door but today we're gonna talk about a game that'll make you stop trusting the very computer you're using to watch this video unless you're part of the seventy five percent of users who watch the show on this tablet phone console their TV in which case um just just pretend you're scared to look at it steam store page doki-doki literature club seems harmless enough a cutesy pastel tinged dating sim starring four adorable waifu's as the kids say all of whom you can try your hand at wooing for the low low price of read but look a little closer and it quickly becomes clear that this game isn't the fun light-hearted visual novel that it makes itself out to be for starters the top tag on the steam store page is psychological horror which makes it seem misclassify and at the bottom of the game's description which is a cute little greeting note from the literature club's president Monica you'll find a very stern warning in bold letters this game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed and in case you missed that one the game greets you with that message yet again as you boot it up one final reminder that this isn't meant for the faint of heart it seems like a joke right but let me assure you it is watching this video before I spoil the heck out of it it is without exact spoiler warning everybody let this be a warning to you if you have not played this game it's free on Steam just go play it then come back yes yes take care about eight or nine hours you don't need a gaming computer to play this you can play this on your old piece of trash whatever you have yes it's not yet gonna take anything to run ya adjuration one of the best written most surprising game stories of this year even if it takes about two hours of fairly slow-paced visual novel action before you get to the really good stuff later yourself you're not gonna regret it or just watch our highlight playthroughs on GT la I do want to interject that it is a very well-done dating simulator yes it is very good well the idea of a dating simulator where you just write poetry to pick who you like it's kind of cool yeah Lynette so cute better than dream daddy I have not played dream that's I have a neither good but from what I hear it's amazing and that's you know yeah night and so if you're still here after that you haven't played the game or watched our GT live playthrough which I'm sure is still a lot of you let me give you a quick rundown during your first playthrough doki doki literature club seems like a normal visual novel with a pretty neat mechanic of composing poems in order to woo the various girls in the club your childhood friends say Orie quiet bookish Yuri and young aggressive netsuke but at the end of the shows are any strange things begin happening it all starts when say Orissa comes to her depression and commits suicide soon after she's deleted from the story entirely you're kicked back to the title screen but something is clearly not right this time as you replay the game the world begins breaking apart as it tries to move forward without say Ori in it eventually you discover that the club's president Monica has become self-aware within the game and is manipulating the game's code even files on your very computer in a desperate attempt to make you you the player love her nothing else works she deletes everything else in the game leaving just Monica little Monica you in the club room with nothing to do but talk forever at least until you do what she did to the other characters and delete her character file in order to save everyone else and reach the true ending doki-doki literature club intentionally leaves them dangling for gamers to figure out all but out of all of it one question it's been bugging me non-stop since I finished playing it what is the story behind Monica the game presents her as simply being a character in a visual novel who suddenly becomes self-aware but all of that doesn't quite add up the way Dee DLC is designed the way that Monica manipulates it and the things that she says in her extended conversation with you all hint that there's something much more sinister going on with her and that is the theory for today that's right dear theorists the hidden truth of doki-doki literature Club is that Monica is from a different game Monica is flowey well so happens to be porky from earthbound who's really the purple guy from fanat really sorry the rest of the theorist team just pulled me aside for a quick intervention good apparently I'm banned from making any links between this game and undertale or any game really thank you very again you see he's grown since then he's and he understands he has to be more careful now appreciated thank you matt pad doki has a lot more to it than first meets the eye even once you make it through the main story because the ending isn't even the ending when you restart the game after deleting Monica say Orie assumes the role of club president now and things are pretty normal until the end of the first day when you get perhaps the biggest twist of them all say Ori now is self-aware expressing the exact same desire to horde you to herself that Monica did so there's got to be something that at least Monica and say Ori have in common and possibly the other girls as well that's making all of this possible see there's something about the way doki-doki literature Club is designed that doesn't quite add up throughout your second playthrough Monica reveals that she's been manipulating events behind the scenes the whole time that she's been messing with Yuri netsuke and series character files by amplifying their worst traits so that you'll like them less and you'll like her more that's why Yuri goes from being a little bit clingy to being self harming and obsessive why not Suki goes from being flirty mean to just being a plain old jerk and why say Ori goes from being mildly depressed to suicidal in the span of a few days these are all the consequences of Monica haphazardly adjusting their character parameters behind the scenes but hold on a second that might seem to make sense on the surface but if you actually stop and think about it that's not really help visual novels work at all visual novel interpreters aren't AI based their behavior is determined entirely by what's written in the game's script the game's dialogue script not programmed script I can see how that gets confusing there's simply no need for a character in a dating sim to have complicated behaviors like this but what if they were created for a more complex what if the characters and doki-doki literature club were intended to be used in a different game altogether one where they would need to have more complex believable responses it's not just speculation the clues are there hidden in plain sight and doki-doki central mechanic the poems over the course of the first act you read poems from all the other club members which seems pretty innocent sure reading between the lines you can start to get hints that say Ori is depressed that Yuri is prone to self-harm that Natsuki is being abused by your father but it's nothing overt in the game's second act you're given three randomly selected special poems out of a possible eleven that makes these kids much more overt but there's one of these poems in particular that really stands out a huge block of redacted text with only a few letters left visible spelling out the question that would be unsettling enough on its own but if there's one thing Scott Cawthon has trained me to do it's to run dark images through Photoshop and play around with sliders if you crank up the exposure on that image all the way to max capacity suddenly it becomes possible to read the whole and fannia is weird irregular heartbeat heart palpitations arrhythmia I searched and searched eyes scanning everything I can find on their symptoms what is this shortness of breath chest pain dizziness no this is all wrong elissa symptoms are nowhere near this simple I've seen it play step the screams of pain sickeningly pale skin vomiting blood there is no other explanation other than that Rennie errs information was a complete and utter lie this can't all be coincidence it's not possible I don't know how much of this rentier is behind but I do know this there is something horribly wrong with this family and I accepted the invitation to become a part of it I can hear Alyssa's screams through the walls now listen helplessly linear' said he would be with her shortly is he in her room now why is she screaming even louder than before chilling right this creepy letter is literally hidden right in front of your face while you play this game what's it all mean well those opening lines make it sound like someone who's trying to identify an illness irregular heartbeat heart palpitations arrhythmia are all possible problems of the heart so it's not so much this person is making a diagnosis but rather it's someone trying to read the symptoms he's seeing and figure out what the diagnosis is it's a clinical assessment which means that the speaker is a doctor of some kind and notice the words he uses their symptoms it's an illness affecting multiple people a family as we see later in the letter a family that apparently you can join almost like a cult it's also worth noting that this doctor who's speaking has some degree of detachment from this girl ELISA almost like she's a research subject of some kind possibly part of human experiments and when you put all this together a cult performing experiments and young girls it starts sounding familiar we hear about human experiments exactly two times in doki-doki literature Club both times when URI describes the plot of the portrait of Mark Baum the book that she wants to read with us a book which has a quote ominous looking eye symbol on the front cover in the first act URI makes it sound relatively innocent enough quote basically it's about this girl in high school who moves in with her long-lost younger sister but as soon as she does so her life gets really strange she gets targeted by these people who escaped from a human experiment prison and while her life is in danger she needs to desperately choose who to trust end quote in the second act URIs personality gets bit more unhinged and she gives us a very pure description of what's actually going on on these pages well I basically it's about this religious camp that's turned into a human experiment prison all the people trapped there have this trait that turns them into killing machines that lust for blood but the facility gets even worse and they start selectively breeding people cutting off their limbs and affixing them too and then she cuts off that's a lot of information for a fake book especially when you compare it to what we learn about in at Sookie's favorite manga and that's because what URI tells us about the portrait of Markov isn't just a short snippet of text meant to create the illusion of a bigger story it is the bigger story here it's the plot of the horror game that team salvato is working on the game that all four of these characters originate from and if you think I'm done oh no we have just scratched it we can dig deeper to uncover more about this horror game including its title and release date as well as how these four girls fit into the overall story because team salvato left a whole AR g's worth of content hidden in doki-doki game files if you thought that the literature Club was interesting before simply because it had these cool meta moments and jump scares we'll get ready there's a whole other game here just resting underneath the surface waiting to be puzzled together that'll start to make you really question everything you thought you knew about say Ori netsuke Monica and especially URI but it's all too much to cover in this let's get closer to the glorified paperweight so that way you can know with Lina that's my favorite away part 2 comes out and things start to get really crazy I am already excited for this new game and I think once you see what I and a bunch of reddit community members have uncovered about it you're gonna be really excited too that's just Monica just Monica yay so yeah that's part one that's part one and now off to part two and I just wanted to be clear URI is still Bay even though I know what is going even though I know URI still base agree yes agreed just Monica just Monica just Monica just Monica just Monica just Monica so last time we hello internet welcome to game theory and uh my apologies for any technical difficulties we may be having during this series so in part 1 of this theory we start to unearth a horror game hidden underneath a cute facade that is doki-doki literature club we found a letter hidden in plain sight alluding to human experiments and cults all topics that appear in Yuri's book the portrait of mark off a book that just so happens to have a mysterious eye of the cover this will let me to concoct a theory that the four girls from the club are actually characters from another game a horror game in fact being produced by team salvato and that this is the reason that Monica turns sentient is doki-doki where AI isn't meant to be contained in a mere visual novel game but today is where things will really start to go off the rails as we dive deeper into the portrait of Markov mystery and cover the game within this game that's itself hiding a third game oh yeah and by the way if you thought Monica was bad well then you should start getting really scared of Uri as you'll know if you finished the game the character files in the game's directory play a huge role in the plot Monica manipulates and deletes them one by one in her quest to make love her and ultimately you have to delete Monica's file in order to reach the game's true ending but there's more in these files than just character information each of them is a puzzle even of the cell left in the game to be solved by the fans and to fans of D DLC in particular stepped up to the challenge reddit users MIT host and war champ 7 dug deep into these files and uncovered their secrets posting their findings to the our visual novels subreddit and the lore beds then covered broke the portrait of Markov mystery wide open so the character files on your computer start as dot CHR files which isn't a real file format that programs can recognize but that doesn't mean you can't open up if you use a text editor like notepad you can absolutely see what's inside and that's exactly what they did with the text inside each file giving them clues as to what they should be doing next URIs visual novel makes me go through puberty URIs file was the easiest to crack it started as a bunch of random letters and numbers but that pile of letter vomit was actually text encoded in base64 it's an encoding technique that converts binary data into text specifically ASCI I text the same stuff that Bob built his army using a few years ago on YouTube that may sound like it's really hard to decode but all you have to do is copy it and paste it into a base64 decoder like this one right here when you decrypt URIs file you'll see that it's actually a short story of creamy pasta which the game's director dan salvato confirmed that he wrote over two years ago and just stuck in the game as an easter egg it's a spooky story to measure but it seems to be just that an easter egg Oh red Harry it is nothing compared to everything else hidden in these other character files mitsuki's file came next which when opened in a text editor gave the clue that this should be opened as a PNG file changing the extension resulted in this odd discolored image but for anyone who's had some experience with autoshop this colors yeah remind you of what happens when you invert the color on a picture it reduces those signature blues and grays so reversing that inversion the picture suddenly starts to look like a real picture and not just any sort of picture of face rotating yeah yeah text and then you have to cone it from above and it turns into an image really crazy uh yeah it doesn't resemble any of the other characters in the game or anyone talked about by him so perhaps then she's a character from the other game being developed by team salvado maybe it's Alyssa the girl suffering the strange illness that we heard mentioned and the letter found in the last episode Monica's character filed when converted into a PNG turns out to be an image of the ring with a square of black and white static in the middle but that's not just any static it's a QR code that's what I initially thought but nope it's actually way more complicated and huge compliments of the guys on reddit for solving this one it's actually binary computer language it's a bunch of ones and zeros where one number is represented by the color black and the other number is represented by the color in quiet so what MIT host did was to take those black and white pixels and convert them line by line into strings of binary then convert that binary headache child in there today an online converter which resulted in yet another pile of letters and these should be starting to look a bit more familiar right it's more yes it's before code which when converted reveals a note that really starts to bring all this together can you hear me who are you I can't I can't see you but I know you're there yeah you can definitely hear me you've been watching for a while now right I guess I should introduce myself or something um my name is actually that's stupid you obviously already know my name sorry anyway I'm guessing if you were able to put a stop to this he would have done it by now I mean I know you're not like evil or anything because you've already helped me so much I really should thank you for that for everything you've done you're really like a friend to me so thank you so much I think more than anything else I really don't want it all to be for nothing everyone else is dead maybe you already know this I'm sure you do actually but it doesn't have to be that way right well there's a lot of stuff I don't understand I don't even know if it's possible for me to understand it but I know that this isn't my only story I can see that now really clearly and I think everyone else has had that same kind of experience third eye right I think you might be able to go back however you want to put it to go back and tell them what's going to happen if they know ahead of time then they should be able to avoid it they should if they remember their time with me in the other worlds they should remember what I tell them yeah I really think this might be possible but it's up to you I'm sorry for always being so nevermind I know that this is my story it's time to be an epic hero 2018 wow that is a lot to unpack so let's get to it first it seems pretty clear that this was written by Monica as evidenced by the you've been watching me for a while now and you already know my name Lyons it also seems to be written after doki-doki z-- true ending where she destroys the game notice how she comments that there's something you as a player can't stop something that's killed everyone else which is why she destroyed the game in the first place but now come the bizarre parts she says that she's experienced some sort of deja vu and that this isn't her only story supporting the idea that she's coming from somewhere else perhaps once again a different game and it's not just her either it's all four of them quote everyone else has had the same kind of experience what's most exciting though is her suggesting that perhaps we as the player can quote go back and tell them what's going to happen if they know ahead of time they should be able to avoid it meaning that we're gonna be tasked with trying to jog their memories or that in this new game there'll be some sort of Easter Egg calling back to the event of doki-doki quote if they remember their time with me in other worlds other worlds like other games that these characters have been used in that maybe we can do something in these other games to warn the girls and prevent doki-doki from ever happening in the first place and the youjin is pretty much the most blatant team salvado has another game coming in 2018 and in this game Monica isn't the villain she's the hero of everything in Monica's letter though one reference in particular really stands out blaming this deja vu on what she calls the third eye it's not just Monica either this third eye is didn't throughout your time with the literature club during act two you're always given to regular poems once the game starts to break the first poem that netsuke gives you is a string of random letters and numbers which at this point we're old pros at decoding using base 64 the text reveals a creepy hidden poem titled open your third eye which describes the narrator taking pleasure in stabbing someone to death the second poem that URI gives you seems at first glance to be a huge block of random words that was [ __ ] at the end of it is another ominous passage that describes a compulsive stabbing concludes with the line quote the lust continues to linger through my veins in ache in my muscles stems from the unreleased tension experienced by my entire body her third eye is drawing me closer that's three characters now who've brought up this third eye the same eye that happens to be described on the cover of the portrait of Markov and remember what URI said about the plot of the book last episode the religious camp have this trait that turns them into killing machines that lust for blood that trait is undeniably the third eye all of this points the team selves Otto's new game being about human experimentation researching the site phenomenon that invokes uncontrollable bloodlust and the people exposed to it which brings us to the last piece of the puzzles say there is a character file which is by far the trickiest to decipher in order to unlock its secrets you need to convert it into an OGG audio file which sounds like a lot of random noise at first but when you open that audio in a visualizer program and then apply a spectrograph to that visualization you are a QR code that when scanned takes you to the website project Libertines accom oh that is a ton of work just to reach a page of plain text but the information contained within that text is i opening third eye opening that is the pages of examination report dated May 2004 which describes horrifying experiments being performed on a three-year-old psychic girl with the first name Lee Bettina her last name is left blank another blank name appears at the bottom of the page another subject who was terminated earlier based on the context of the redacted poem we covered last episode it's my guess that this girl is Alyssa even the number of letters and Alyssa matched the number of redacted letters yet the names that's far from the only parallel to the portrait of Markov that we see here though a note to the head doctor at the bottom of the page reads quote you are choosing to avoid the measures necessary to prevent a repeat scenario doctor who you not have as much faith in your personnel as you do in your God and the quote theory says that the book is set in a religious camp that was turned into a human experiment prison which lines up pretty well with this mysterious doctor's report a devotion to a God of some kind and the redacted poems allusion to joining this mysterious family judging from the various notes on this webpage the tests performed on the three-year-old were all about activating Libba Tina's third eye that lust for blood which proves successful but then based on the failed test results Libba Tina is then unable to suppress but not only are we getting more and more clues as to the next game team salvato is working on we're actually seeing exactly how our favorite club mates are gonna fit into the story because I am confident three-year-old Limit ena grows up to be one of the four girls we see in dono key literature well and what's more I can prove exactly which one it is libertine as a three-year-old and her height weight or hold average for age so there's not much to go on there but if we look a bit further down the page we see a list of noted behaviors that the researchers say should be ignored in future examinations witching vocal tics biting exophoria vomiting screaming harm to examiner carp to sell this place laughter there's one character who we see display almost all of these traits during doki-doki literature club particularly in that second ass Yuri what's the game bugs out Yuri's dialog becomes the most erratic we repeatedly see her eyes twitching when she talks to us she screams a bear bed laughs erratically at a few points and that bit about self-harm so I don't think I need to explain that one but these aren't the only clues that we have to go on there are two more things that absolutely confirm that Yuri is Libertines a-- the first is her age libertine ax was born January 5th 2001 which would make her 17 years old in 2018 the year that project libertine ax is set to release as the only member of the literature club and senior year here is the only one of the girls in the right age range to be libertine ax but there's also one more piece of crucial evidence that absolutely clinches this theory and the evidence isn't found in the game itself or even in its data or a random hidden webpage but rather in the doki-doki literature club merchandise store yeah this guy is hiding clues in more places than scott cawthon team salvato might not be offering much in terms of merch items like the few items that are present reveal some very interesting details so let's look at the posters four of them are simply CG of each girl taken straight from the game nothing too exciting there another four are creepy original artwork featuring iconic quotes from the characters between all of these there's this running motif of the girls being tied up in a red string even Monica has a bow wrapped around her but Yuri doesn't seem to possess these strings in fact all of the red strings seem to be emerging from her from her heart from this flower whatever this is in snaring all the other girls an allusion to libertine a psychic influence over everyone else but if that doesn't convince you there are two more posters for sale featuring original artwork one of is a surprisingly cute picture of Monica handing you the song she sings you at the end of the game it's cute very cute the last poster called Yuri unhinged is a bit different and would I say a bit different I mean completely different from anything else in the game or on the site third a Yuri sitting in the classroom at sunset toying with a knife for someone unhinged her posture seems oddly relaxed even confident in fact it's the most confident we've ever seen her like she's in full control of the situation and behind her you see all sorts of ominous text scrawled on the blackboard to her right we see a poster a poster with a big ol illuminati confirmed i in the middle and the words helped me scribbled along the top this is the third eye Yuri's third eye and this is the only artwork where we see it depicted Illuminati confirmed Yuri as Libba Tina confirmed doki-doki literature Club isn't just a free game made to promote team Soldado's upcoming horror title it's a part of Project Luba Tina Monica is the upcoming game's protagonist while URI is the monster at the center of the story Libba Tina herself this is why Jerry was so attached to the portrait of Markoff stories it is her story and the disconnect from being put in the wrong game is the reason that Monica becomes self-aware but hey that's yeah pretty wicked huh okay to tie it all together we have this update from Team Salado so as we as the game Theory's mentioned a possible game in 2018 its 2019 we did not receive a game no but hello everyone that's been a while since I've consolidated all of my latest updates into one spot and as the end of the year is approaching I thought it would be a good time this is a pretty casual post where I just like to go over the stuff that we have going on and where we expect things to go in the future personal updates some of you know teams Levada all most of the time contains no more than one employee and so the responsibility for things like fan engagement new content merchandise and a lot of the business related Affairs have most often fallen on my shoulders given the unexpected explosive growth of D DLC in the months following release I was it was a role I was not fully prepared to take on the sudden stress resulted in a pretty sharp decline in my mental health this year thankfully I've lately been feeling like I'm back on my feet and things have started to put hers in the way it kind of moved forward again but if it seems like a lot of the things have just taken a long time this year it's mostly because of the difficulties I've had in adjusting to my new roles I'm very thankful that DD LCA has such a wonderful wonderful fans who continue to find ways to enjoy the game characters and franchise but I also have an incredibly strong desire not to let people down and I'm also not the person to give up on my projects so even if it takes me a long time I'll always be coming out with cool new stuff for people to enjoy I'll be talking about my upcoming work as I feel like they are ready to talk about but it will just take a long time to get there Oh over the past few months we've been working on some awesome merchandise projects and collaborations with partners we love DD LC store our online stores gotten an overhaul after finding some great partners to help us run it alongside our usual offer we're now selling plushies and we have t-shirts on the way to we're working on a vinyl soundtrack for D DLC with and with art by Omo cats we're very excited for introducing this collector's item as we've gotten a number of requests for it I think it's a great art form the DD LC fan Forge is in full swing with a range of products including t-shirts posters wallets bags and more all the designs were created by DD LC fans who receive a share of the revenue for their designs there's still a lot I would like to get done with DD LC such as translations supporting to other platforms and some other fun ideas I'd like to explore currently making the preparations necessary for these things to actually start happening but I'm not ready to announce any kind of timeframe yet aside from the existing DD LC game I would love to find other fun things to do with the DVL C universe because I know how much it means to the fans and I also see some opportunity there so I'm playing with some ideas and hope that some something will come of it someday I'm not trying to deliver to be deliberately vague in any way it's just an honest evaluation where things are right now and what I'm hoping to do in the future again at something where I'll talk about things as I feel like they're ready to talk about I frequently have people ask me when they can expect information on future teams of auto games well I believe the rest of this post more or less covers what I have going on I also feel that I should explicitly state that I won't be announcing or releasing any new games in 2018 my timeline looked very different a year ago with me thinking that after releasing DD LC I could put 100% of my focus into my next game but so much has changed since then with the result being that things are just taking longer than expected but in the end it will be for the better as I think I will now be able to make new games that are of higher quality than what I envisioned a year ago I'm very eager to continue working hard on future projects that I can someday share with all of you giving you more great experiences thank you for taking the time to read this update and for believing in us so basically we did plan did release something into like you said he's not being deliberately vague but I you can you could maybe some eyes from this that if the game theories are indeed on the nose or on the right path that you know Dan didn't want to let people down and just not have anything but he's the MIT host the guy who one of the guys that Matt had referenced as a person who helped him out figure this [ __ ] out is now the community developer and community manager for Team Salado that's awesome so you know super cool yeah I I gotta say I joined the game so much more over knowing that there's this secret underground world within the files runs me a lot of a coheed and cambria story yeah to an extent because they have a story within a story going on with it so like I'm wondering like to an extent to but I guess people would have figured it out by now hopefully but like some of the other things almost sounded like it was like go back and warn them like I don't think the files were anything you could actually change because they did turn out to be like other things but if you could somehow have like changed a line and the code somewhere for when the game starts so that the characters would like know stuff that was going to happen if it would play out differently or something like that is or if there's like some way to actually unlock another games within it but I still don't actually get what he was talking about he's like this game hides a game that hides a third game and I did didn't ever really hear him touch on that third game so I don't know if he controlled off and forgot to mention that again or what he was I think maybe he was doing you know doing a trick reference to the third eye I think that's what he was saying he wasn't actually going to talk about a third game he was talking about he's like I because he was just I think he was just doing that just to play it because that was one thing that got me to when I first watched these I was just like where's the third game he talked about but then I was sitting there and I think it was a I think it was Carly who mentioned it that that may very well have been just a just a reference to the blind eye you know the the third eye at that you know is mentioned frequently throughout this and it was just another thing to add to it I'm not sure I really don't know I mean that would be really cool if they end up having a if he ends up doing like another game that actually turns out to be completely linked to that well the ways they eat kind of things you know what I would you know what I would do with it if someone played and beat the next game it would insert a code into doki-doki literature club whether it was downloaded or whether you were downloading it and the only way you could prevent it from going is if you actually deleted all the files from the previous game or from the new game because what I would do is have that in the soon as I started okey dokey literature club all of a sudden all the girls including Monica look at you and they say they say thank you yeah you've actually said it's free from you know from this y'all want to do something else and it completely changes up the game you know what I would do too is legit dating well like yeah like it was actually like a really small download I notice like you could hide that easily within the game files for a bigger game somewhere and like lock it really well and kind of put this kind of stuff in there for like clues to getting it unlocked or whatever or whatever after the fact or just make it so that after you finish the game it reinstalls doki-doki on your computer automatically but it's a fixed version where it actually plays out and it's not so dark and everything is like an easter egg [Music] you know dan if you want help if you're out there if you're watching this my paypal links on my stream so if you do use my it is and you want to send me a dollar or two for yeah you don't have to you know enough to get us a pizza or something if you buy me a pizza from dominos you can have all my ideas you can you can have everything I have made previously anything new you gotta buy me another pizza for well yeah so those are the game theories man I mean and pretty good stuff huh yeah that's actually really cool how does that how does that make you feel now that you've played the game and now that you've you've got to hear all this well it's for one thing it's matpat and it's just a theory so I take it with a grain of salt but I do think that all that would be really cool and I would actually be really excited if he turned out to be right on this one definitely shout out to the reddit users that like put all the time into figuring out all of these codes and putting it out people like that always amaze me just because I'm like I wouldn't know where to start with some of this stuff that is absolutely super cool to see all of that work compiled and like see what was hidden away in this game yeah also that one picture that girl like I wonder if that's supposed to be Alyssa maybe that's yeah that could be a theory on that yeah god so well there you go ladies and gentlemen that's the doki-doki literature club game theories again and pretty pretty interesting stuff ain't it yeah oh yeah and you know if you all are wanting to see more from team salvato I mean hell check out their website team salvato com I mean
