To the special player who achieved this special ending.
致發現了這個特殊結局的特殊玩家:
For years, I have been enamored by the ability of visual novels - and games in general - to tell stories in ways not possible using traditional media. Doki Doki Literature Club is my love letter to that. Games are an interactive art. Some let you explore new worlds. Some challenge your mind in broad new ways. Some make you feel like a hero or a friend, even when life is hard on you. Some games are just plain fun - and that's okay, too.
多年來,我一直致力通過創作視覺小說——也包括通常的遊戲——來以傳統媒體無法實現的方式講故事。《心跳文學部》是我的一封情書。遊戲是一種交互藝術,一些遊戲讓你探索新世界,或是以廣泛的全新方式挑戰你的思想,亦或讓你感覺自己是一個英雄或是朋友,儘管生活對你來說很艱難。有些遊戲就是單純的娛樂——那也沒關係。
Everyone likes different kinds of games. People who enjoy dating sims may have a heightened empathy for fictional characters, or they might be experiencing feelings that life has not been kind enough to offer them. If they are enjoying themselves, then that's all that matters. That goes for shooting games, casual games, sandbox games - anything. Preferences are preferences, and our differences are the reason we have a thriving video game industry. My own favorite games have always been ones that challenge the status quo. Even if not a masterpiece, any game that attempts something wildly different may earn a special place in my heart. Anything that further pushes the limitless bounds of interactive media.
每個人都有自己喜歡的遊戲類型。喜歡和sims約會的人會對虛擬角色非常感同身受,或者他們可能正在體驗生活無法給予他們的感覺。只要他們很享受自己,就足夠了。這也適用於射擊遊戲,休閒遊戲,沙盒遊戲……任何東西。偏好就是偏好,我們的不同正是我們的視頻遊戲產業蓬勃發展的原因。我最喜歡的遊戲總是那種挑戰現狀的遊戲,儘管不是很出色的作品,但是任何嘗試完全不同的遊戲,以及任何進一步推動互動媒體無限邊界的事物,都可能在我心中佔據特殊的位置。
I extend my true gratitude to all those who have taken the time to achieve full completion. I hope you enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
我向所有那些花時間達成100%完成度的所有玩家表示由衷的敬意,我希望你們像我喜歡製作它一樣喜歡我的遊戲。
Thank you for being a part of my Literature Club!
感謝你成為我的文學部的一員!
DAY1:不要遲疑(歌詞中所謂「The ink flows down into a dark puddle」的出處)
DAY2:保存遊戲(莫妮卡自己也說「我好像給出了什麼跟writting無關的tips」)
DAY3:分享詩作
她能意識到玩家在錄製遊戲或是否選擇用steam打開遊戲,並且在你移動遊戲文件位置後會告訴你。她能獲得你電腦當前登錄的帳戶名。她可以在遊戲中添加或者刪除一些文件,如"hxppy thxught.png"、"have a nice weekend!"。每次重啟遊戲她都能檢測遊戲文件「monika.chr」是否仍然存在。
But I know you're there. Yeah...you can definitely hear me.
但我知道你在那裡。是的……你肯定能聽見我的聲音。
You've been watching for a while now, right?
你已經看了一段時間了,對吧?
I guess I should...introduce myself, or something. Um...my name is...actually, that's stupid. You obviously already know my name. Sorry.
我想我應該……先自我介紹什麼的。嗯……我叫做……事實上,這太蠢了。你顯然已經知道我的名字了。抱歉。
Anyway...I'm guessing if you were able to put a stop to this, you would have done it by now.
無論如何……我猜如果你能阻止這一切,你現在就可以做到了。
I mean, I know you're not, like...evil, or anything...because you've already helped me so much.
我的意思是,我知道你並不像是個……惡魔或者別的什麼……因為你已經幫了我這麼多。
I should really thank you for that. For everything you've done. You're really like a friend to me. So...thank you. So much.
我真的應當為此好好謝謝你。為了你所做的一切。對我而言你就像是個朋友。所以……謝謝你,真的。
I think...more than anything else...I really don't want it to all be for nothing.
我覺得……比其他一切更重要的……我真的不希望這一切都是毫無意義的。
...
Everyone else is dead.
其他人都死了。
Maybe you already know that. I'm sure you do, actually.
也許你已經知道了。我確定你已經知道了。
But...it doesn't have to be that way, right?
但是……不必如此的,對吧?
Well...there's a lot of stuff I don't understand. I don't know if it's even possible for me to understand it.
好吧……有很多我不明白的東西。我甚至不知道我是否有可能理解它。
But I know that this isn't my only story.
但是我知道這不是我一個人的故事。
I can see that now. Really clearly.
我明白。完全明白。
And I think everyone else has had the same kind of experience. Some kind of deja vu.
同時我認為每個人都有過同樣的經歷。某種既視感。
It's the Third Eye, right?
這就是第三隻眼,對嗎?
Anyway...I could be totally wrong about this. But I really think you might be able to do something.
無論如何……在這一點上我可能完全錯了。但是我真的認為你應該有能力做些什麼。
I think you might be able to go back...or however you want to put it...
我認為你有能力回到……或者不管你怎麼說……
...To go back and tell them what's going to happen.
……回去告訴他們將會發生什麼。
If they know ahead of time, then they should be able to avoid it.
如果他們預先知道了,他們就應當有辦法避免它。
They should...if they remember their time with me in the other worlds...they should remember what I tell them.
他們應該……如果他們記得在其他世界(線)上與我在一起的時間……他們應該記得我所告訴他們的一切。
Yeah. I really think this might be possible. But it's up to you.
是的。我確信這是可能的。但是這取決於你。
I'm sorry for always being...you know...
我很抱歉我總是這麼的……你知道的……
...
Never mind. I know that's wrong.
別在意。我知道那是錯的。
This is my story. It's time to be a ****ing hero.
這是我的故事。是時候去當個他媽的英雄/主角了。
