To the special player who achieved this special ending.
致发现了这个特殊结局的特殊玩家:
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.
多年来,我一直致力通过创作视觉小说 —— 也包括通常的游戏——来以传统媒体无法实现的方式讲故事。《心跳文学部》是我的一封情书。游戏是一种交互艺术,一些游戏让你探索新世界,或是以广泛的全新方式挑战你的思想,亦或让你感觉自己是一个英雄或是朋友,尽管生活对你来说很艰难。有些游戏就是单纯的娱乐——那也没关系。
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.
每个人都有自己喜欢的游戏类型。喜欢和sims约会的人会对虚拟角色非常感同身受,或者他们可能正在体验生活无法给予他们的感觉。只要他们很享受自己,就足够了。这也适用于射击游戏,休闲游戏,沙盒游戏……任何东西。偏好就是偏好,我们的不同正是我们的视频游戏产业蓬勃发展的原因。我最喜欢的游戏总是那种挑战现状的游戏,尽管不是很出色的作品,但是任何尝试完全不同的游戏,以及任何进一步推动互动媒体无限边界的事物,都可能在我心中占据特殊的位置。
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.
我向所有那些花时间达成100%完成度的所有玩家表示由衷的敬意,我希望你们像我喜欢制作它一样喜欢我的游戏。
Thank you for being a part of my Literature Club!
感谢你成为我的文学部的一员!

她能意识到玩家在录制游戏或是否选择用steam打开游戏,并且在你移动游戏文件位置后会告诉你。她能获得你电脑当前登录的账户名。她可以在游戏中添加或者删除一些文件,如"hxppy thxught.png"、"have a nice weekend!"。每次重启游戏她都能检测游戏文件「monika.chr」是否仍然存在。
But I know you're there. Yeah...you can definitely hear me.
但我知道你在那里。是的……你肯定能听见我的声音。
You've been watching for a while now, right?
你已经看了一段时间了,对吧?
I guess I should...introduce myself, or something. Um...my name is...actually, that's stupid. You obviously already know my name. Sorry.
我想我应该……先自我介绍什么的。嗯……我叫做……事实上,这太蠢了。你显然已经知道我的名字了。抱歉。
Anyway...I'm guessing if you were able to put a stop to this, you would have done it by now.
无论如何……我猜如果你能阻止这一切,你现在就可以做到了。
I mean, I know you're not, like...evil, or anything...because you've already helped me so much.
我的意思是,我知道你并不像是个……恶魔或者别的什么……因为你已经帮了我这么多。
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.
我真的应当为此好好谢谢你。为了你所做的一切。对我而言你就像是个朋友。所以……谢谢你,真的。
I think...more than anything else...I really don't want it to all be for nothing.
我觉得……比其他一切更重要的……我真的不希望这一切都是毫无意义的。
...
Everyone else is dead.
其他人都死了。
Maybe you already know that. I'm sure you do, actually.
也许你已经知道了。我确定你已经知道了。
But...it doesn't have to be that way, right?
但是……不必如此的,对吧?
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……有很多我不明白的东西。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.
但是我知道这不是我一个人的故事。
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.
同时我认为每个人都有过同样的经历。某种既视感。
It's the Third Eye, right?
这就是第三只眼,对吗?
Anyway...I could be totally wrong about this. But I really think you might be able to do something.
无论如何……在这一点上我可能完全错了。但是我真的认为你应该有能力做些什么。
I think you might be able to go back...or however you want to put it...
我认为你有能力回到……或者不管你怎么说……
...To go back and tell them what's going to happen.
……回去告诉他们将会发生什么。
If they know ahead of time, then they should be able to avoid it.
如果他们预先知道了,他们就应当有办法避免它。
They should...if they remember their time with me in the other worlds...they should remember what I tell them.
他们应该……如果他们记得在其他世界(线)上与我在一起的时间……他们应该记得我所告诉他们的一切。
Yeah. I really think this might be possible. But it's up to you.
是的。我确信这是可能的。但是这取决于你。
I'm sorry for always being...you know...
我很抱歉我总是这么的……你知道的……
...
Never mind. I know that's wrong.
别在意。我知道那是错的。
This is my story. It's time to be a ****ing hero.
这是我的故事。是时候去当个他妈的英雄/主角了。
