Dimensions

**Dimensions** (formerly Doki Doki Dimensions) is an "All Dokis Have Routes" mod acting as a scifi genre-shift sequel to DDLC with many new takes on existing characters, 4th wall breaks and such but absolutely no jump scares. However players should be aware of swearing, violence and heavy suicide references.

The mod seeks to continue the narrative and themes of *Doki Doki Literature Club!*, with a genre-shift twist. This is not a specific ship mod; the aim is to offer satisfying routes corresponding to each of the vanilla Dokis.

Although in many regards the plot can be treated as standalone, the events take place following Monika's deletion of the game. With a pledge to release a large amount of assets for community use, the mod seeks to establish a new ongoing unofficial canon with the capacity to overlap with pretty much anything due to the nature of parallel universes.

Dimensions was fully released on Reddit on July 25th, 2020. The mod features more than 30 characters, new locations, new music and a significant mechanic not previously seen in DDLC mods.

## Synopsis

After the events of *Doki Doki Literature Club*, the player installs a mod that is seemingly corrupted. A code fragment introduces itself, presumably the remnants of Monika, and offers to help fix the mod. Upon agreeing, the player is put in the shoes of an alternate universe MC on his first day at the Multiverse Observation Program.

Attempting to build on the foundations laid out in the base game, Dimensions features a compelling narrative fraught with science-fiction drama, comedy, tragedy and yes of course, romance. There are no jump scares here, but that doesn't mean your days of being toyed with by video game characters are over.

## Dr Bug's Elevator Pitch

Good morning recruit. My name is Dr Monika Bug.

It is my honor to welcome you to the Multiverse Observation Program! It's always been a dream of this institution to explore the untapped possibilities of dimensional travel. Now that you've been granted special clearance, I am authorised to inform you that you have been selected to make that dream a reality. This will be a mission of inter-dimensional importance!

You'll be in good company on your journey, with a team I handpicked for their unique qualities:

Sayori Night, who I believe served with you in the Time Corps.

Sgt Natsuki, combat specialist with a penchant for CQC.

Prof Yuri, world-renowned expert in dimensional theory.

...And, of course, I'll be leading the mission personally!

I'm looking forward to getting you all settled in and of course seeing what the Program is capable of! But I can tell already that you're good to go, so just remember - watch my 6 and I'll do the same for you.

## Development

Dimensions originated as a silly elevator pitch in June 2019 with no intention of actually making a mod out of it. However within a few days, development had begun. On June 14th, 2019, before interacting with the mod community at all, and with no intention of actually making a mod, Reddit user /u/Chiffmonkey posted a concept pitch of sorts for "Doki Doki Dimensions", consisting of an altered version of the Doki Doki Literature Club official game description, along with a mock-up image of the character "Dr Monika Bug".

Despite being a throwaway idea, the concept soon turned into an actual mod project, with development starting by the end of June.

On September 7th, a demo was released featuring the first two dimensions, totaling approximately 30 minutes of story and serving as a taster of the concept.

On November 17th, having long since concluded the writing side of the mod, a viral post was made containing a five-chapter prequel in text form.

On December 7th, a number of sprite-sets were released to the public as part of the pledge to support spin-offs.

The mod suffered development issues through the winter and spring but eventually released on July 25th 2020 reportedly in response to a leak two days prior to the intended release date of the 27th. Due to the creator's heating situation, development was mostly suspended over the winter. It resumed, with release scheduled for Summer 2020. A lot of progress has also been made in tandem towards the sequel, due to the staggering of how long various disciplines take.
