During Act 2, players may make any choices as this doesn’t affect the final outcome. This means the three poem creation sections should only be attempted once (or even twice, but not three times) and players should only pick either Yuri or Natsuki to spend the weekend with (not both). To get the normal ending, players need to go through all of DDLC’s Act 1 as presented without restarting and trying new outcomes. For the most part, DDLC is the same as the first edition of Doki Doki Literature Club, with a few adjustments for console limitations. Any time players load up the game a second time, they will need to enter the DDLC application from the top of the Windows-style Metaverse Enterprise Solutions main menu. Unlike the original release, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus reframes the main game as a virtual machine simulation titled DDLC.
