Can You Save Natsuki in DDLC Plus?

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus has a number of side stories that unlock additional scenes that expand on the relationships of the different characters in the game. However, the main campaign is unchanged and the fate of Natsuki and the other Dokis are the same.

Natsuki’s situation is a bit different than the other Dokis. She doesn’t technically die in the same way that Sayori and Yuri do. While you slowly learn that her home life is a bit tragic, she doesn’t spiral in the same way that those other two members did. However, once she starts to find out that something is wrong with Yuri and that Monika might be behind it, her neck is mysteriously snapped and then it seems like she is “reset.”

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to save this from happening to Natsuki. There is, however, a secret ending you can unlock.

How to Get The Secret Ending For Natsuki in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus

Yes, there is a secret ending that you can obtain that will change the final ending of the game, and while it does still involve seeing Natsuki’s neck snapped, you can at least end the game on a happier note.

This secret good ending is a lot more positive than the normal ending, and while it’s still not perfect (the Dokis sadly will never enter our reality, which would of course be the true good ending), it’s a hell of a lot nicer.

How to Get The Secret Ending For Natsuki in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus

  1. Firstly, you’ll need to have watched all the CG scenes of Natsuki, Sayori, and Yuri, which means you’ll need to write poems for all three characters.

  2. Return with Monika on festival day. You’ll need to create a new save file here. Be careful, as if you go too far and witness the death of Sayori, you’ll be unable to access Natsuki’s secret ending.

  3. You’ll need a save file for every character’s SC cutscene. Next, proceed to Sayori’s death and start playing the game as normal. When you are negated with Monika, she will let you write a poem for her. Now, delete her character file and then restart the game.

So, there you have it. That’s all you need to know for whether or not you can save Natsuki in DDLC Plus. Once again, while Natsuki will suffer no matter what you do, you can still get a happier ending for Natsuki and the Dokis.
