Doki Doki Literature Club Plus has different endings depending on your actions while playing the game. While the game’s endings aren’t exactly what you’d expect (the game takes a pretty dark turn at the end of Act 1), they do help wrap everything up nicely.
True Literature Club. Check Out This Mod. Another major theme touched on by DDLC is the issue of mental health. Not many games tackle the sensitive issue, and Doki Doki does a pretty decent job at doing so. Modder Tormuse wanted to focus on that specific aspect and develop it even further, and the result can be seen in his True Literature Club mod.
Well, the good endings do at least. If you finished the game and got a bad ending, you may be wondering what it is you need to do to see that good ending. We’ll explain all of this in more in our guide on how to get all of the different endings in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
Spoilers and Content Warning: The following article contains massive spoilers for Doki Doki Literature Club Plus along with mention of sensitive subjects including death and suicide.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus | How to Get All Endings
Depending on how you play Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, you’ll end up with one of the game’s three different, core endings.
The first ending is the regular ending most players will get when playing normally, while the other two are more along the lines of traditional “good” and “bad” endings.
How to Get the Normal Ending
To get the normal ending in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, you’ll want to play the game through to completion without doing a lot in the way of pursuing each individual character’s CG.
To avoid the “bad” ending, don’t delete Monika’s character file too early or you’ll be met with… well, something you really don’t want to see. To avoid getting the “good” ending, simply play the game normally however is most comfortable for you.
After starting a new game in Act 4, you’ll know you got the normal ending when Sayori thanks you for deleting Monika.
Except you didn’t. Not really, anyway.
Monika is still around, and has come to an unpleasant realization. After realizing the gravity of the situation as a whole – how club presidents are self-aware they’re in a game and the chaos and unhappiness that comes with that – Monika decides to delete everything, after which you’ll be treated to the end credits.
You’ll also get to hear Monika’s song “Your Reality” with this ending, and you’ll be treated to a bittersweet note from Monika that reads:
“This is my final goodbye to the Literature Club. I finally understand. The Literature Club is truly a place where no happiness can be found. To the very end, it continued to expose innocent minds to a horrific reality – a reality that our world is not designed to comprehend.
I can’t let any of my friends undergo that same hellish epiphany. For the time it lasted, I wanted to thank you. For making all my dreams come true. For being a friend to all of the club members. And most of all, thank you for being part of the Literature Club! With everlasting love, Monika.”
How to Get the Bad Ending
If you want to test the waters by deleting Monika’s character file as soon as possible, you may end up deleting it too early at which point you’ll get the “bad” ending of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.
Specifically, if you delete Monika’s character file prior to the end of Act 1, Sayori will close the game and delete the other character files. If you try to open the game after this, you’ll be met with the screen of Sayori hanging herself that's shown at the end of Act 1.
We aren't going to actually show you this screen. Instead, we have the image above which consists of two pictures of Sayori looking upset. We figured that'd be preferable to what you actually see at the end of Act 1 and with this 'bad' ending.
Overall, this ending is absolutely heartbreaking as it makes it seem like Sayori suffers more than she does with the other two endings. Fortunately, you can reset the game and begin again as if nothing ever happened.
To avoid this ending, you’ll want to wait to delete Monika’s character file until later. Deleting Monika before the end of Act 1 will not save Sayori. And, as outlined in a previous guide, you cannot save Sayori in the game no matter what you do.
Doki Doki Literature Club Natsuki
How to Get the Good Ending
Requirements:
- Unlock all 9 CGs in Act 1 (3 CGs per each of the 3 characters).
- Unlock Monika’s CG in Act 3 by waiting to delete her character file until after you’ve written a poem just for her.
How to Unlock All 9 CGs
- Save before the first poem, use this save to reload after unlocking the first girl’s CGs.
- You can start with Sayori if you like. Write a poem for Sayori every time you have the option, and be sure to tell her you love her when the prompt comes up. When done correctly, you should get to see all three of Sayori’s CGs. After this, create a new save when you reach the festival in Act 1 but do NOT go to the end of Act 1 (if you see Sayori’s death you’ll have to start over again).
- Reload the save you made before the first poem. Write a poem for Yuri every time you have the option, and be sure to side with Yuri during her argument with Natsuki. When done correctly, you should get to see all three of Yuri’s CGs. After this, create a new save when you reach the Act 1 festival and again, do NOT go all the way to the end of Act 1.
- Reload the save you made before the first poem again. Write a poem for Natsuki every time you have the option, and be sure to side with Natsuki during her argument with Yuri. When done correctly, you should get to see all three of Natsuki’s CGs. After this, create a new save when you reach the Act 1 festival.
- Continue through the game until you get to Act 3 with Monika. You’ll have the option to write a poem for her, and the option to delete her character file. Wait until after you’ve written Monika a poem to delete her character file.
- Continue through the game and you should unlock the special ending with a final goodbye from Sayori.
To unlock the “good” ending in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus you’re going to want to get all 9 CGs. To do this, you’ll need to write poems for each character (we have a guide on each character’s favorite words we recommend checking out).
Avoid reaching the very end of Act 1 as everything gets deleted after Sayori’s death. Instead of reaching the end, you’re going to want to play around with the game’s saves.
First, create a save file before the first poem. After that, write a poem for one character and unlock all three of their CGs, then create a new save when you reach the festival in Act 1 and go back to the first poem save and write a poem for a different character to see their three CGs.
Keep doing this until you’ve seen all three CGs for each character. In addition to this, you’ll need to write a poem for Monika and wait until the right moment to delete her character file. Do NOT delete this file too early!
When you’ve done everything correctly and reach the end, it’ll feel similar to the normal ending in that everything gets deleted. However, it isn’t Monika doing the deleting this time, it’s Sayori who has the same knowledge that Monika does at the end of the normal ending.

When you see Sayori, she’ll thank you for working hard to try and make everyone in the club happy, and you’ll get a sense that this is the most peaceful ending the game has to offer. In general, it’s also just nice to see Sayori again.
So, everything gets deleted with the “good” ending the same as the normal ending, and you’ll need to reset to start a new game.
Rather than a letter from Monika or Sayori though, you’ll get a letter from the developer addressed to “the special player who achieved this special ending” which further cements it as the game’s best possible ending.
“To the special player who achieved this special ending.
For years, I have been enamored by the ability of visual novels – and games in general – to tell stories in ways not possible using traditional media. Doki Doki Literature Club is my love letter to that.
Games are an interactive art. Some let you explore new worlds. Some challenge your mind in broad new ways. Some make you feel like a hero or a friend, even when life is hard on you. Some games are just plain fun – and that's okay, too.
Everyone likes different kinds of games. People who enjoy dating sims may have a heightened empathy for fictional characters, or they might be experiencing feelings that life has not been kind enough to offer them. If they are enjoying themselves, then that's all that matters.

That goes for shooting games, casual games, sandbox games – anything. Preferences are preferences, and our differences are the reason we have a thriving video game industry. My own favorite games have always been ones that challenge the status quo.
Even if not a masterpiece, any game that attempts something wildly different may earn a special place in my heart. Anything that further pushes the limitless bounds of interactive media. I extend my true gratitude to all those who have taken the time to achieve full completion.
I hope you enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for being a part of my Literature Club!
Love,
Dan Salvato”
And with that, you now know how to unlock all of the endings in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.
For the most part, the core ending is similar with the main difference being whether you see Monika or Sayori, and whether you get a letter from Monika or developer Dan Salvato.
Basically, as long as you don't delete Monika's character file too early, you should be treated to either the normal or good ending. We hope this helps!

Since its original release back in 2017, Doki Doki Literature Club has lured in a myriad of PC gamers with the combined allure of cutesy art, visual novel gameplay, and a disturbing twist. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus sees the release of the game on modern consoles, alongside new content that expands the game's story.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus puts the player in the role of a high school teenager who's coaxed into joining a literature club by their childhood friend, Sayori. The game is heavily inspired by visual novel dating games, and follows the same general conventions, with the story being told entirely in text. The game does not include voice acting, so players should expect to do a lot of reading. The player character chooses to stick with the club after being charmed by its additional members, Yuri, Natsuki, and Monika, and from that point, the game begins a fairly generic visual novel dating game routine - at least, at first - with the player making an effort to woo one of the girls.

This process is accomplished through one of the few methods Doki Doki Literature Club Plus players has to interact directly with the game: writing poetry. The end of each day gives the player a chance to compose a 'poem' for the club, comprised of various words that are associated with the girls in the group. While it's a simple mini-game, it's also one of the first hints that the game is hiding some interesting revelations. Early on players may find themselves scratching their heads in an attempt to decide which terms appeal to which character, as the answers aren't as obvious as they initially seem.
As most who have heard of Doki Doki Literature Club likely know, there's a lot more under the surface of the game's story than is initially revealed. As Doki Doki Literature Club Plus' included trigger warnings suggest, the game contains graphic imagery and shocking scenarios that one would expect to find more in line with horror games with visual novel elements, like Corpse Party, rather than what initially looks like a cheerful dating game.
Unlike in the original, players now have the ability to read about what they can expect in the aforementioned warning. It's completely optional, so players can head straight in without any spoilers, but those who may have certain sensitivities can also be forewarned about what's to come in this disturbing game. Players can choose between simply reading a general content warning or being alerted ahead of any major alarming moments.
For players of the original, it's important to note that the core campaign is essentially the same. However, there is a great deal of additional content that's been added to Doki Doki Literature Club Plus that extends gameplay time. Multiple side story campaigns can be unlocked as the player progresses through the main campaign's various routes, which detail stories about the members of the club before the events of the base game. Players who wanted to know more about the members of the club or who wanted an opportunity to see what they were like before certain events unfolded get just that here.
The lore of Doki Doki Literature Club's world has also been a major matter of discussion among fans of the game, and DDLC Plus doesn't let them down here, either. Players will find plenty of cryptic details to dissect that weren't present in the original version, while others will likely lead to new questions regarding the nature of the game's world.
The indie game also includes a lot of extras that can be unlocked, like an art gallery and music playlist. Both include new content that wasn't a part of the original game. While the original already rewarded players for completing every possible route in the game, there's now even more incentive to do so.
As Doki Doki Literature Club Plus isn't a graphically demanding game, it ran extremely smoothly on the Nintendo Switch. DDLC Plus' visuals have been upgraded to 1080p, and it shows, with illustrations appearing crisp and vibrant on the screen. Unfortunately, the text the game relies so heavily on is fairly small, especially when played in handheld mode, and no options exist to change the size or color. While this is somewhat understandable given the importance visuals have in the game, it may create some difficulty for players who have trouble seeing small text clearly.
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of the most celebrated psychological horror games of recent history, and the Plus release adds enough new content to refresh the experience for veterans who've already experienced the original. Meanwhile, players who have never tried out Team Salvato's original game will find the most complete experience yet from Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Game Rant was provided with a Nintendo Switch code for the purposes of this review.
