History VisualNovel / DDLCPuristMod

** In Sayori's route, [[spoiler: she ends up believing that her relationship with the main character was a sham based on pity rather than love. She stops associating with him, leaves the literature club, attempts suicide again, and ends up in a mental hospital]]

** [[spoiler: "[[UsefulNotes/RenPy renpy]]" has Sayori cheerfully announce that the "director" has put her in charge because he was going to "the Hope Rope"[[note]]A slang term for a [[DrivenToSuicide noose]][[/note]]. Cue a [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties technical difficulties]] screen and Monika scolding the director.]]

** [[spoiler: "[[LightNovel/ReZero Rem]]" (with a capital "R") has Monika think you said something, before figuring that it probably wasn't the secret code.]]

* AbusiveDad: Though the abuse was only mentioned in passing in canon, Natsuki's relationship with her dad is explored in-depth during her route.[[spoiler: Here, it's portrayed as gradually escalating from neglect to emotional abuse, with the abuse gradually escalating over time. Natsuki ends up running away when her dad hits her - which is stated to be the first time that the abuse got physical.]]

** Monika's route has ''many'' instances of this, which is shown to be from her having to code her options into the game. Typically, this shows up as a console popup on the left side of the screen stating what she's doing, then providing the player just one option.

** [[spoiler: "[[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline momgun]]" or "[[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline springfield]]" has Monika tell the director that she's not going to do the cosplay[[note]]Players have noted that the character 'Springfield' in Girls Frontline bears a slight resemblence to Monica.[[/note]], before threatening to shoot the "director" for it.]]

** [[spoiler: "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons momgun]]" or "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons springfield]]" has Monika tell the director that she's not going to do the cosplay[[note]]Presumably of Marge Simpson[[/note]], before threatening to shoot the "director" for it.]]

* ArtShift: The new [=CGs=] were all created by fan artists. In most cases, it's not noticeable, but Sayori's is rather clearly fan-made.

** Monika's route has ''many'' instances of this, due to her having to code her options into the game. Typically, this shows up as a console popup on the left side of the screen stating what she's doing, then providing the player just one option.

** Natsuki [[spoiler:finds out that her dad turned himself in and ends up feeling worse, stating that things could have been fixed and that now she has nobody else, and reveals in a poem that she doesn't feel like she can trust the main character. She later reveals that she overheard the main character tell her dad to turn himself in, and states that, while she's mad, she's not mad enough to leave him... because she has nowhere else to go.]]
** Yuri [[spoiler:has two bad endings, one short and one long. The short one has the main character send one text too many to her, which causes her to stop talking to the main character and leave the literature club, as she doesn't want anyone worrying about her. The longer ending has the main character start a fight and get caught by the principal - whom Yuri had brought to the scene. Yuri ends up feeling so guilty about getting the main character caught that she switches schools and stops talking to him, culminating in a DistantEpilogue where she publishes a novel and writes a special note in the main character's copy - "I'm sorry, [[HelloInsertPlayerNameHere [player],]] / I still love you."]]

** [[spoiler: "password" causes her to feel disappointed, while "password123" causes her to give you a D- for creativity.]]

** [[spoiler: "scouter" has the "director" claim Monika's "THOT levels" are [[Memes/DragonBall over 9000]], prompting Monika to [[NoKillLikeOverkill order the "Thot Police" to fire heavy artillery at him]].]]

** [[spoiler: "Rem" (with a capital "R") has Monika think you said something, before figuring that it probably wasn't the secret code.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: Sayori, except this time [[spoiler: either Monika or the main character saves her]] depending on the route chosen.
** Also happens in Sayori's bad ending. [[spoiler: She survives her suicide attempt, but permanently breaks off her relationship with the player character and ends up in a mental hospital.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Instead of devolving into horror, the mod features many heartwarming moments with each of the girls.

* NoodleIncident: [[spoiler:At the start of Natsuki's route, MC wonders if a PA announcement was related to pyrotechnic damage or a broken wall from the bullfighting match]].
* ParentalNeglect: Adults are almost entirely absent from the game, leading to the impression that the main character and most of the girls live alone. The one exception is Natsuki, whose father is outright neglectful of her. [[spoiler: The neglect eventually becomes abuse.]]

* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: Yuri]] in her good ending CG.

* ToWinWithoutFighting: The player is presented with the option to fight the antagonist of Yuri's route, but Yuri implores the main character not to engage in violence.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The issues each of the girls face in their personal lives are given far more focus than in the original game. The serious with which the mod treats these issues increases to match, such that the majority of some routes is focused upon helping a girl with her issues.

->''"What do you mean, make things right? Do you... really think it's even possible? I told you already: there's no happiness to the found in the Literature Club. You'd be doing so much, all for nothing. It might make you a little happy for a short while... But nothing will change.''

* ToWinWithoutFighting: The player is presented with the option to fight the antagonist of Yuri's route, but Yuri implores the main character not to engage in violence.

* ParentalNeglect: Adults are almost entirely absent from the game, leading to the impression that the main character and most of the girls live alone. The one exception is Natsuki, whose father is outright neglectful of her. The neglect eventually becomes abuse.

Begrudgingly, Monika agrees to cooperate with the player's plans this time, and the game begins anew.
