This string can, in turn, be translated, resulting in this document. When this square is translated into binary, the result is a Base64 string.
Opening it with any image-manipulating program will result in a picture of a flaming ring with a square in the center, containing black and white pixels. This is an image file (specifically "monika.png"). Each has its messages/links and different ways to decode them. While playing for the first time, there will be 4 files in the "game"/characters folder. The poem has a loud ambience playing in the background, with unreadable glitches all over the page.Īlternatively, if the game is in fullscreen mode and is being played on Windows, it will display a fake BSOD instead. If the player writes two poems for Natsuki and one for Yuri in Act 2, attempting to talk to Monika will prompt the player this poem, to which Monika seems surprised and says that the game has glitched her poem. This is followed by a glitching Yuri sprite before going back to normal. Afterwards, the screen will go black for a couple of seconds, followed by a close up of her face with completely white eyes accompanied with loud and distorted music. Note: Deleting Sayori's character file before opening up the game will skip straight to the monochrome Sayori picture part.ĭuring Act 2, if the player writes three poems for Yuri, the water fountain scene repeats itself. After 10 minutes pass, the words "Now everyone can be happy" will appear on the screen. This scene can also happen during Act 4 and Monika will still appear despite being deleted.ĭeleting "monika.chr" before starting the gameĪt the screen where the player picks the name, deleting Monika's character file before starting the game will, upon the game's start, result in a scene featuring Sayori first visibly confused and finally yelling, "PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" The game will then (forcibly) exit itself, and the other character files (including Sayori's) will be deleted, and upon reopening it, a second screen will appear, displaying the word "END" before changing into a black and white GIF of Sayori hanging from a noose, accompanied by an ambient static loop.
This scene can be avoided if the player copies the "persistent" file from the save folder, which stores information about the current act. If the player tries to copy the save files of another act during Acts 2, 3, or 4, a black screen will appear with text "Unable to load the save file" after which Monika will appear and ask the player if they are trying to cheat.
