::''[[Doki Doki Literature Club!|Oh God.]] (From left to right: [[Ret-Gone|ųꝣųz̕āôËírÓŋi]], [[Yandere|Yuri]], Natsuki, [[Manipulative Bastard|Monika]])''

== Act 2 ==

== Act 3 ==

* [[Call Back]]: Monika ends her tip about saying the right words for criticism with "...Well, I guess that would be Monika's Debate Tip of the Day!"

* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: Monika, now alone with you, speaks her mind about various topics, from horror, to college, to her own friends.

* [[Esoteric Happy Ending]]: Monika is very happy to achieve her own ending, even though it meant breaking the entire game.

* [[Hip Hop]]: Discussed by Monika as one of her topics, who used to hate it, but grew more appreciative of the genre.

* [[In-Universe]]: Defied. In Act 3, Monika rejects any pretense of talking about the circumstances between her and MC and talks directly to ''you''.

* [[Jump Scare]]: If you stream Monika's final scene, [[Medium Awareness|she'll notice]] and talk to the audience of a [[Let's Play]]. She will then want to show a trick. The camera zooms on her face... Just Kidding, it was nothing after- '''[[Bait and Switch|and then]] she hits you with a jump scare.'''

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Act 3 basically has no story. Monika admits that the script is broken beyond recognition at this point.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: [[My God, What Have I Done?|Struct by guilt]] over the horrible things she did [[Love Makes You Evil|to get closer to the player]], Monika [[Reset Button|restarts the game]], restoring every girl except herself.

* [[Ret-Gone]]: Discussed by Monika, about Sayori:

{{quote|"Gosh, it's been a while since you've heard that name now, hasn't it? Yeah...it's because she doesn't exist anymore. Nobody does. I deleted all their files."}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: Subverted, Deconstructed. Monika will start to mention ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as one of her topics, but will then interrupt herself and wonder if she was programmed to talk about it, considering she doesn't know what it is. She then suggests contacting the people who made her for the answer.

** Dan Salvato is the developer of ''[http://www.20xx.me/ 20XXTE]'', a tournament mod for ''Melee'', and helped develop [https://web.archive.org/web/20151120033752/http://projectmgame.com/en/ ''Project M''] for ''Brawl''.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Defied by Monika, who brings up mental illness and the stigma of getting help as a topic. She suggest to the player to consult a professional if they need it.

* [[Tsundere]]: Discussed by Monika as one of her topics. She brings up Natsuki as an obvious example, and [[Deconstruction|Deconstructs]] the [[Freudian Excuse]]s of her personality (as a defense mechanism, her home situation).

* [[Yandere]]: Discussed by Monika as one of her topics in Act 3. She brings up Yuri as an example of the trope.

* [[You Monster!]]: When deleting Monika's character file in Act 3, her voice will react in outrage at your action. After a while, she will say she still loves you, and will react to her actions with [[My God, What Have I Done?]].

== Act 4 ==

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: (Good Ending) Sayori thanks MC for joining her club, saying she already knew he would join, then [[No Fourth Wall|obliterates the fourth wall]] (revealing her [[Medium Awareness]]) by thanking him for caring about all the girls in the game (by saving and loading to go through all the CGs). She then, with sadness, states the game is finished and thanks the player for playing. [[Fade to Black]].

* [[Call Back]]: The game ends with a voiced message from Monika, who plays the song she was talking about in Act 2.

* [[Cruel Twist Ending]] / [[Downer Ending]]: (Bad Ending) Sayori thanks PC for joining her club, but then says she already knew he would join. She then thanks him for ''getting rid of Monika'', and says she khows ''everything''. Taken by adoration for MC, Sayori warps to Monika's glitched classroom, taking her place, wanting to say with MC f.o.r.e.v.e.r. Suddenly, Monika hijacks the game, deletes Sayori, laments the game's cruel fate, and makes the whole thing crash.

* [[Developers' Foresight]]: If you add back a backup of Monika's character file at the start of Act 4, a message will appear: "Please stop playing with my heart. I don't want to come back." Monika's file then deletes itself.

* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: After the end credits, Monika or Dan Salvato's final message is displayed. Then, an error mesage appears, telling the player to reinstall the game, and the game crashes. Rebooting the game does the same thing.

** Deleting the "firstrun" file fixes the error.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: When Sayori displays [[Medium Awareness]] and an obsession for MC, what remains of Monika, realizing that the Literature Club will always corrupt innocent minds, hijacks the game and deletes everything in it, including herself.
