things do all the dating sim stuff pick the best girl yuri try to get to know them blah blah blah then partway through sayori um sayori does a thing that post NUMBER_TOKEN youtube really doesn't like so uh anyway a bad thing happens and you restart the game and sayori is deleted from the game and things start to glitch out all the way to the moon and back with this second play through yuri monopolizes the protagonist's time and then um does uh well you know it's really hard to say what happens in this game on youtube anyway some hashtag extremely great stuff happens and it gets revealed that monica has been behind all these horrible things going on although she didn't really do them intentionally she is aware that she's in a dating sim and what's more she has administrative access to all the character data she's been tweaking character profiles in the background to make them unappealing to the player you in order to funnel you into picking her as best girl even though she's actually not supposed to be an official option but tweaking personalities is a pretty difficult thing to pull off successfully so these little changes she made made people glitch out in extremely unpredictable ways after they scaled up exponentially over time kind of like how a little bit of caffeine makes me awesome but too much makes me want to die in the end monica sets explosives up on the fourth wall and blows it to smithereens completely rewriting the game so monica is the only girl left and it's just you and her in some little pocket reality she cobbled together from spare assets that were just laying around eventually you delete her character profile if you're an utter monster and the conclusion of the game happens where everyone is back except for monica sayori goes crazy monaco is actually secretly there the whole time and she blows everything up bam the game is over fast forward a bunch of years to doki doki plus being released and it's mostly the same game all over again but with some makes you feel good side stories that are technically not canon at least uh they're not canon to the main playthrough of doki doki but it's not the side stories that are interesting to me it's the rest of the game the boring stuff on the desktop matt's videos did a great job going over the meta stories the hints of what's going on in various virtual machines and if you haven't watched those videos yet you totally should they absolutely rule we however are gonna be focusing on something a little different but still relevant which means we gotta talk even more about the lore but not too much more though dokimonica sincerely doki doki plus takes place within a framing device the main game is identical to the original but it's now taking place on a fake computer desktop where you get emails find notes and all sorts of clues regarding a company called metaverse enterprise solutions it's not super obvious what exactly metaverse does as a whole but inside metaverse is a little pocket group uh task force team salvato all right is that is that confirmed canon well they do call themselves team salvation at one point just okay whatever stay on target they are the people who according to the lore at least made doki doki the thing is metaverse and team salvato aren't game developers there's some sort of uh
