Doki Doki Literature Club! OST - My Confession

From the Doki Doki Literature Club OST.

_"Why won't the rainclouds go away?"_


the feels man

[thesteev]

This song signifies death.
Seriously.
It's played when Sayori confesses to you and when Yuri confess to you.
And both died shortly afterwards.

[mikudayo_biggest_fan]

*The most well done horror games, are the ones that scare you emotionally.*

[seij]

My three mistakes going into this-
1. Being Super-Empathetic Me
2. Trying to fully immerse myself
3. Going on full devotion to the Sayori Route

[Jordoru]

The creators of this game showed what depression is really like! You would've never guessed at the beginning that Sayori was depressed, but that's what real depression is like... they don't want to show weakness or be cared for...

[ShadowDante]

Despite Sayori not being my favourite, I think her death honestly made me the saddest. Seriously, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and it even made me tear up a little. It’s so amazing how attached we all got to these characters. This game isn’t a horror game, and it’s not scary, it’s just depressing. I didn’t feel scared when I played DDLC, I felt sad instead.

[SuperLlama]

That moment Sayori went from "Blandly cheery girl next door" to "I MUST PROTECT HER"







And then everything went to shit

[gino]

She was dealt a shitty hand. And yet she played the game with a bigger smile than anyone else, for longer than she had any right to.

She fought admirably.

Even if she didn't win, I'll always admire her for that.

[djin]

This game can be shown as one quotation:

"Let's hurry to love people....
....because they are leaving so quickly..."

[ladyselin]

Anybody realized MC cared about Sayori more than other girls even Monika. When she died it was a game over. Monika had to remove her from the game so MC would be sane again.

[SSB_Seal]

Such a heart wrenching part of the game. This is the kind of song that makes you feel sad for a character that you hardly even know.

[zachw]

Sayori’s depression was so well portrayed in this story. Even though I knew that it was fiction, I stopped playing for a couple days when the choice came up. As someone who went through depression and found joy in one person alone, I understood how she felt. I was already going down a different route, so I couldn’t say that I loved her. But when I was going through this, that person didn’t reciprocate at all, and I got hit hard. That’s when it got to the bad thoughts. This was one of the most powerful moments in the game. Team Salvato, thank you for such a fantastic game, and for not shying away from sensitive topics.

[CZsWorld]

Reminds me of the music from Ecruteak City in Pokemon.

This song and pretty much Sayori's character as a whole hit a bit too close to home for me. My younger sister has struggled with depression for what I'm guessing is just the last year or so, though I didn't really seem to notice it until a couple months ago. So many of Sayori's character traits I see in her, like her fun, jovial attitude around me or friends, and a depressed mental state she often tries to hide. This scene and the ones after were painfully reminiscent of scenarios I've found myself in, always trying to be there for her. Walking into Sayori's room on the day of the festival put a feeling in my chest that I'm yet to feel in any other game, reminding me of times I've went to check on my sister, found her not moving in her room, and hastily checked for a pulse (she always ends up being asleep but you can't blame me for worrying).

Honestly, kudos to Team Salvato for capturing this emotion so well, and if anyone reading this knows any "Sayoris, " please, make sure they're doing alright.

[Rycluse]

Fuck. This part of the game got too real. The way that Sayori just coldly shrugs off your every attempt to reassure her... it was so crushing

[destrodevil]

When Sayori confesses to me
- I rejected...
- *She suicides*

When Yuri confesses to me
- I agreed
- *She still suicides*


_This game is nut_

[charcopoco]

Honestly two things that make this a very emotional moment/scene is the fact that she’s apologizing and self-loathes for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Secondly, it pains her on an emotional level when you spend time with the others, and when you spend time with her as well. Just thinking about some of this almost brought me to tears, especially me being an empathetic/sympathetic guy.

[RyoooPT]

Sayori:








> I love you.

> You'll always be my dearest friend.

[UnkownUnkown]

Dude, everybody talks about Sayori and how this reminds them of her confession, but when I listen to his, I don't tear up because I'm reminded of Sayori, but instead, I need to stop listening to it immediately otherwise I'll start crying because I get reminded of what Yuri said (I don't remember exactly when she told this to us but I think it was somewhere around day 3 in act 1, but one thing I'm certain about is that it was before MC had to decide in whose house to go), this song started playing and she started telling us how she eats alone, how growing up people never treated as normal because she never quite learned how to talk with people and is socially awkward... basically how lonely she is, you know, a lot of people relate to that, I'm one of them, while she was saying those things I just started silently crying right then and there (in fact, I'm holding back some tears rn) because it reminded me of myself, Yuri and I are just alike, and a lot of people could very well say that... because if you know how it feels to feel just like she does, it is horrible really, trust me... it really is.

Human brains are programmed to feel good when receiving social validation, so imagine how it is when your whole life people just do the opposite of that, instead they just treat you like you're stupid or not normal just because you're socially awkward, so they just assume you're not normal, and the worst part is when you realize that they're treating you differently, but you can do nothing about it, just stand there like an idiot and take it, and you'll be thinking about it always, every day, whenever you interact with people you'll just be thinking about how everybody (and them probably) treats you differently everyday and it sucks. This is most likely what Yuri felt like her whole life and I know, because as you can see I also speak a lot from experience, and it's just horrible, it's genuinely one of the few things I wish nobody would experience growing up.


In conclusion, I just wanna clarify that I'm not saying that what Yuri had is worse than Sayori, I don't really know what depression feels like, I'm just mostly speaking from experience and I had the luck to never experience depression since I'm sure it's horrible, so really, at the end I think that what Sayori has been through is just as equally worse as Yuri, but yeah, these are my 2 cents, I also just want to remind people that Sayori is not the only one who's had it absolutely horrible since the beginning though. Thanks for reading through all this, I appreaciate it.
