The second I hear "Sayo-nara" I get chills, this music is so uncomfortable to begin with, and if you know the context it's even worse...
Even after so many years :(
@@Mightyscandare Yeah 😨😨😨
When i played the game it was stuck in my head and i couldn't sleep
I still haven't finished the game
And i dont want to
Oh dont worry it get worse than that
The context makes it even more unsettling...
Aside from Sayo-nara and Just Monika, most of the horror from the music comes from the fact that Act II's music is identical to Act I's except subtle differences. Random notes get shifted up or down a semitone, the music cuts out entirely at certain narrative beats before coming back in like nothing happened, parts of it get sped up or slowed down, and throughout the entire soundtrack certain instruments represent specific characters, so the music plays around with that, too.
yeah, i was going to make a comment about how just listening to the soundtrack out of context without having played the game is not going to do the music justice. the exact moments that the game changes the music during gameplay are what makes it so effective as horror.
the "ok, everyone!" variants are more than subtle 💀they are my favorite ones tbh
The best reaction I've heard from someone playing this game was Game Grumps - because one of them (Arin) knew what was coming and played it entirely cool, while the other (Dan) had zero idea and was absolutely ruined for the rest of the recording session.
Not only that but what made it even better was that there was no backseating chat AND they've already played multiple legit dating-sims on the channel so it wasn't something they've never done before
Oh boy! Psychological horrors beyond my comprehension!
Fr tho. I absolutely adore this game and the community. To this day, fanmade mods are constantly in development. Each with their own stories and ideas
DDLC Rainclouds my beloved one
Monika After Story my beloved
@@arwar5265ddlc blue skies is my favorite
"The image I'm seeing doesn't match what I'm hearing"
.....nope. it matches. LMAO. Especially if you know
I loved how they used different pictures for the different tracks based on the context of the songs.
The fact that Sayori is visible while "Main Theme" or any other OST plays but isn't while "Sayo-nara" plays... great detail but iykyk...
I would make a very specific joke, but it would be really obvious even to people that don't know.
We all know it ;). This way there may be at least some surprises left if she watches a playthrough.@@greenhydra10
Come on, don't leave us hanging!@@greenhydra10
@@sazdx stole my joke 😡
@@sazdx💀
I really love "Your Reality". It's one thing that it's essentially the main theme but with lyrics, which is pretty funny, but also how those lyrics tie perfectly together with Monika's character. Obviously, having not played the game, she wasn't gonna have much of a reaction to it, but I always have this solemn feeling whenever I hear it.
YES, YOU FINALLY REACTED TO PEAK HORROR!
Also, Sayori disappearing during Sayo-nara was clever. Iykyk!
Also, to answer your question, well it’s kinda hard to do that without spoiling it. But just so you know, Sayo-nara and Just Monika aren’t the only moments of horror. You really should play the game if you want to experience everything (there’s both a free version on Steam and a paid version with some extra content)
The soundtrack is scariest when you know the implications of the piano in the fluffier tracks
upon first listen to “sayo-nara” it’s super creepy, but after playing the game a couple of times it becomes less creepy and more sad and depressing
"the Lyrics are so wholesome" I hope she listens to this again with context
0:03 Main Theme
2:09 (Notes)
3:33 (Members Shoutouts)
4:09 Sayo-nara 💀
6:47 Dreams of Love and Literature
9:32 Okay, Everyone!
11:32 Play with me
13:29 Just Monika 💀
16:52 Your Reality
Ironically Your Reality is the creepiest track. But it’s one that you need to play the game to understand.
Dude, the jump from the Main Theme to Sayo-nara is crazy.
I just got chills just remembering the scene... THAT SCENE! You know what I'm talking about....
I love how Dan Salvato meant to make was basically a bit of a mickey take of a visual novel dating sim that turned into a psychological horror, but accidentally made a fantastic example of a visual novel, on top of being a brilliant psychological horror.
Man, i got absolute chills down my spine and goosebumps, the moment Sayo-nara started. I need to watch Markiplier play this now...
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of those horror games where you really gotta experience it at least once! But like the note said, it’s not for the faint of heart :)
The way they use their music is incredible. It starts as this cute style that comforts you. But then when sayonara plays it absolutely shatters that comfort.
Fun fact about the creator of the game : It's Dan salvato, and you can sometime catch him on twitch doing speedrun and WR attempt for Yoshi's story
This is hands down my favourite game, in terms of "horror." It's... somehow painfully beautiful, EXTREMELY real (yeah, ...life gets dark. Does it end in the dark?) Extremely meta existentialism with some modern twists to classic existential nightmares. And THE PRESENTATION.
Damn good game. This is a game right?
Definitely one for the Gaming Hall of Fame
doki doki is free so you could potentially give it a play. be warned it is one of the highest rated Phycological Horror games on steam no joke
I actually really like the Main Theme. It's a good music to listen while working or studying.
The tension in this video was amazing 😂 every theme just waiting until something happens until the very last second
I love this game. The main character has been my desktop background since this game came out, and the music is definitely a part of that. Great game though, if you play it, you should try and romance best girl - Monika. :)
Also, interesting fact, all of the characters are represented by instruments, and iirc the music changes based on who you’re talking to at times to make their instrument more prominent.
I was going to like your comment, but I can't support a Mo$#)& *@n
*This is the best comment and Monika is best girl. Just Monika!*
This game hides its true colors beautifully. The music throws you off at times and you never expect things. For example: The last two songs you listened to (Just Monika and Your Reality) are themes for the same character.
I enjoyed watching Game Grumps play this game. It was so great watching the mood go from "Ha ha, let's voice the game goofy." to "whoa whoa! What the heck?! Stop!" Now, too many are in on the joke, so to speak. You just don't see the same affect on people. Mostly.
If just listening to the music is enough to make you look behind you, then the game itself might be a little much. Unfortunately, the music itself is about as much as you can expose yourself to without catching major spoilers, so it’s kinda hard to make references to any story beats that the songs mention.
DDLC is honestly just a phenomenal game, and was one of the big breakouts of the meta storytelling/forth wall breaking games. Also, considering that a visual novel could gain this much of a cult following with how few people actually enjoyed that style back in 2019 tells you just how well this was pulled off.
In terms of how the game is a psychological horror with so much upbeat music, it’s pulled off in a pretty ingenious way. There are obviously the big twists, but there are other details. Sometimes the music will temporarily glitch or warp for smaller scenes where the character sprites do the same, but the things I really personally like are the small details that you might not notice. Sometimes a poster in the back of the classroom might reference a certain less-than-happy scene. Sometimes a character sprite will slowly warp, only being noticeable if the player sits on one screen for a long time. The story even will throw out hints when characters reference things speak in certain ways or reference things that they shouldn’t have any knowledge about. And the game uses next to no jumpscares, with is a breath of fresh air compared to so many other mediocre indie horror games.
TL;DR: If you like psychology horror, play this game. There’s a reason it popped off online back in the day. (It’s also great for streamer/video reactions ;)
I LOVE how DDLC this experience is. You have been spoiled from a wierd angle, but you could absoolutley play this and better understand what the music is doing. Its a relativley short game, and its free.
This game is...something yeah, but it's a really good game. Also, a deluxe version of the game called Doki Doki Litterature Club Plus! was released almost 3 years ago, and has some new music tracks, if you'd like to give it a listen too
the end credits song is both very sad and can also be scary to thing about if you interpret the lyrics another way:
"In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you" -> "In my hand is a knife that will "write a poem" of me and you"
"The ink flows down into a dark puddle" -> "The blood flows down into a dark puddle"
"Just move your hand, write the way into his heart" -> "Just move your hand(holding the knife), way into his heart"
Idk how you can interpret it that way. It’s being sung by best girl Monika who is very cute and wholesome and would definitely never hurt anyone ever!
@@ThatFoxGirl weeellll i can think of 1-3 girls who might see it that way
1:28 that out of place note always scared me in the main theme
Your Reality genuinely makes me super emotional, especially knowing the story behind the words
Don't worry miss. If you play enough horror games it will make you jaded and no longer scared. You may even find their creepy atmospheres comforting like me
Oh my God I’m actually freaking out I never expected this!
I’ve been wanting someone, anyone, to react to Music from this game for the longest time but no one has!
I recently just got DDLC+ for my Switch and it’s just fantastic, I’ve loved the game from the very week it came out all the way till now.
Doki Doki Literature Club was one game I went into blind and I’m GLAD for that. That was an amazing experience. ❤❤❤❤
Even out of context, those wails in Sayo-nara bring me to tears…
Edit: I would totally watch you play this game!!!
I cannot overstate how terrified I get every time “play with me” starts
The people who’ve heard it, they know… I’m always scared
Unironically I would love to see her do a video of SiIvagunner rips (would need to be a curated list though to avoid copyright stuff)
One suggestion (spoilers below):
They did a rip for Black 2 of N’s room… with one of the songs in this very video
The editor of the videos you watched on songs you listened to knew what they were doing when they excluded Sayori from the picture when Sayo-nara played (and by putting Just Monika when Just Monika played).
I hope you'll one day consider listening to the new songs in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. They all have a much more wholesome vibe to them, and have given me goosebumps in a much more positive way than the original game.
Despite how good the music is it still does not do justice to how twisted and meta the game gets. It's truly worth playing or if you can't handle playing I recommend watching the GameGrumps playthrough. They compiled it into an nearly 7 hour video, but it's so worth it.
There are a couple of tracks on the OST that don't appear in-game, but are really great tracks that would be great to see Emily react to, called Poems are Forever and Doki Doki. Also a fan-made song and MMD music video called Doki Doki Forever.
I hope you do touhou music in the future. The entirety of the series help caused the creation of undertale and all of its music. As a plus the creator of the series is very lax with the copyright for his characters and music which allows for anyone to create derivative works of touhou from song remixes to selling your own games.
For some song suggestions they are
Gensokyo the Gods Loved,
Broken Moon,
Maiden's Capprico,
Love Colored Master Spark,
Flowering Night,
Hartman's Youkai Girl,
Idolatrize World
Voyage 1969
Kobito of the Shining Needle
Border of Life
Wind God Girl
The Sea Where One's Home Planet Reflects
and U.N. Owen Was Her.
I would recommend Game Grumps play thru, as Dan had no idea it was a psychological horror until it was too late.
The irony of her loving the piano the whole time 😂
I would love to see Emily record a playthrough of her own, rather than watching someone else play through it.
Everytime i hear "Sayo-nara" it gives me fucking chills. If you know all the context you will get really depressed...
You NEED to hear the celeste soundtrack. Its composed by lena raine.
Watching you listen to "Your Reality" and calling it wholesome is amazing. To the rest of us (who know) it sounds so amazingly unhinged.
"I slowly open the door..."
In context, "your reality" is the scaryest song in the list. I recommend playing the game... and making sure you have the day after it off so you can recover from the sleepless night this game will bring you
The lore behind this game was great, it's just sad that there's never been any continuation to explain it all. And it was a nice way to make people discover the kind of things theorists might do to discover the lore.
Not sure if I'm remembering wrong or if I read too much into something, but wasn't there something planned that isn't a sequel but references stuff that happened in it?
@@Zerovin
At least something like that, prequel, sequel, or something else, but there was something, yes.
Sayo-nara still gives me uncomfortable goosebumps all these years later.
this is a pretty short LP if you want to do it, its about 3-4h depending on how unwilling you are to continue. Could do it in a single night and the base version is free
There be hints in Just Monika
It tries to play the main theme for a bit
Yes it’s a horror game disguised as a dating simulator
if judging a book by its cover was a game doki doki would be it
Recommendations: Touhou Project. The games + music that inspired Toby Fox.
Guilty Gear. I recommend "Drift", the theme of Happy Chaos (though _not_ as the first track to listen to).
Maui Mallard. Believe it or not, the OST was composed by Michael Giacchino before he became a big name.
Lords of Magic. A mostly forgotten-about game these days that, none the less, had an _iconic_ soundtrack.
Sayo nara will kill ur soul once u reach that mark in doki doki game. Thread carefully
I'm sorry you had to experience DDLC like this Emi
After you do halo ODST you better be doing Halo Reach. the Music from reach is different from the other halos because it has a different vibe from other halos because its a prequel to halo 1 and its before the story was fully established, aka it shows how the humans first came into conflict with the antagonist.
What's there to be scared of? It's perfectly innocent and all smiles and happy times smile
Its a horror game that breaks the 4th walll, really
I CAN LITERALLY SEE SAYORI HANGING IN THERE, AND SEE THE DIALOGUE APPEARING BEFORE MY EYES WHEN I HEAR SAYO-NARA
STOP
Honestly this game can be finished within 3 hours depending on your reading speed, and is best experienced with zero spoilers. And most of all it's FREE to play.
So who's gonna tell her the context for sayo-nara?
Oh perfect timing, I've been in a bit of a doki doki phase rn :)
my song your note (correct me the next if the song name is wrong)is probably the mose calming music i have ever heard and it just make the game peaceful after what you see…. but ya the music in the game has to be up there in ranked
Id love to see you react to Deep Rock Galactic's OST! Especially Robot Getaway, RUN!, Fathomless Tomb and Into the Abyss!
I have an uncommon suggestion for the fnaf games original ost, I believe that the soundtrack is underrated and would love to see a musicians opinion on it.
I loved your reaction! If I could recommend a game for you to listen to the OST I’d definitely say Your Turn To Die, it’s full of bangers and I think you’d like it!
4:13 dude. This song is even more bone chilling when you see WHERE this happens in the game😭 damn. Just wait until you see OMORI’s OST
I have no idea what this game is but I love the reaction! You should PLEASE do a final fantasy 7 music reaction. With the new game out it would be perfect. Some of the best music in video game history.
Sooo, the great and downside to this game is it expects you to both know tropes of dating Sim visual novels and also not know the extent of what Python can do, Python being the software most anime-style visual novels are made with. Musically it's very simple, but I love it. One thing I will say though is the game was the passion project of one person, Dan Salvato, so the simplicity in most sections is to emphasize the details in others.
pleaseee play this gameee, is horrorific and mindblowing at the same time, you wont regret
The piano is beautiful god she’s so good at playing piano I love her sm 🥰
Amazingly, this game has no villain. The percieved villain is of course Monika, but she legitimately did nothing wrong. She deleted computer programs that you attached yourself to, and was surprised when you mourned for them. After all, why would you mourn when you uninstall an app you don't want to use any more? It's the same thing, basically
If you ever play the game I'd love to see it on the channel!
Can you react to the Murder Drones OST? I would recommend reacting to Murder Drones, Get Prommed :3, Solver Uzi, The Human Gala, Sentinal 000D, and Heh, Nothing Personal Kid
Please please PLEASE tell me you record gameplays and upload them somewhere, I'm still waiting for the Undertale playthrough! And now I wanna see the Doki Doki playthrough!!
Could you react to the Cassette Beasts soundtrack? I think you'd love it!
OH PLZ MAKE A PART 2!!! 🙏
There's a lot more good songs at the latest DLC called "DDLC plus"
my favorite songs in there are candy hearts and candy heartz 😉
You should react to the dlc of Splatoon 3! Its called Side Order and its got some pretty wild and enjoyable songs
We all know the memes that occurred when Speed played this game
You should listen to the A Hat in Time soundtrack, trust me, you'll love it
What a game, for real though!
I don't really like visual novels. Heck i wasn't enjoying the act 1 of ddlc. But then things got insane and it became one of my favourites
Please, listen the soundtrack of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Not only main theme, but and other soundtrack like Harvest Dawn, Wing of Kynareth, or From Fast to Present, The Streets of Whiterun, Far Horizon
You should hear the ddlc mod ost's. Some of them are good.
Its worth playing, I'm subbed now so if you play it I'll be right there!
I bought this game about half a year ago because it was on sale and a friend recommended it and I still haven't gotten around to playing it. I'm kind of scared tbh 😂
Bought? It's free on pc.
@@jordancooney6817 I don't have a proper PC so I can only play on consoles
Not your friend, but I'd recommend you play it. Definitely worth the time, particularly if you go in (mostly) unspoiled.
@@RasmusVJS I will probably play it sometime in the coming days. Fortunately I am going in completely blind, I only know that it will go psycho after some time 😅
@@RasmusVJS I finally did it. Disturbed to say the least. That really escalated quickly in the end
I know the music sounds scary. Just hang in there :)
Shame you missed Daijoubu since that one pops off
This makes me want a Danganronpa reaction
@ilexEmily please react to the epic battle fantasy 5 ost
Specifically:
Sunset harbor
Nymphis fae
Blade and switch
M3chanical c0n-d4amnation
Return of the snow queen
Lacrimis ex anima
As the shadow
Petals of the blade
Blaze of iris
And a breeze from home vocal version
In that order please
just a warning, if you plan to play this game at all, just know that it deals with sensitive and scary topics.
please you have to do Hearts of iron 4 soundtrack and or stellaris soundtrack. both are games made by the same company
Only Monika❤
My husband told me to play DDLC and not check it online beforehand. I thought I played cute dating sim. Oh Jesus F**k it was awesome!
Someone show her nikke soundtrack
Don't sweat it... It terrified us all.
Why wasn't "Ohayou Sayori!" on the list?!?! It's one of my favourite tracks from the game =(
