You seriously need to cover random encounters! They do musicals on all the different game fandoms. One of the songs (the one with just monika) is from them!
well because you've now been spoiled yet confused about the game, I dare you to play the whole thing yourself. (spoilers, the dating game has some emotionally dark twists.)
"The person voicing Sayori is a pretty solid voice actor" Well the song is originally a musical from random encounters, The Minecraft version is just a fan work that got more popular since it was turned into well minecraft. Considering that kinda weird choice not reacting to MMD version of Dok doki forever since the animation is just soo brilliant.
To be fair it didn't become more popular JUST because it was made into minecraft, its also cause the original video itself is....a bit off putting, the live action feels odd and from what i can tell a lot of people found it to feel like that too, so they just tend to gravitate towards the minecraft animation more cause of that. Also it does help that the one who made the minecraft version actually makes his minecraft animations look nice as opposed to some of the other minecraft animations that look a little sloppy in some points
@@zavexcapricious2519 I think a lot of it is the guy actor, he looks so old and pretty ridiculous next to the girls that it makes the whole thing look weird (also in general production values aren't stellar so the Minecraft version looks more cohesive).
You should definitely play the game. You'd love it, definitely right up your street. I mean, you've had... everything spoiled... but it's still really fun!
Honestly, even with everything spoiled, I think he barely even understood a thing. So he may be safe. Wait, what am I on about, THAT MEANS HE ISN'T SAFE AT ALL!! 😱😱😱😱
In case anyone here doesn't know. the original "Just Monika" music video is a live action made by random encounters. I know Monika was voiced by Or3O(Who Mathew REALLY should react to) and Natsuki if i'm not mistaken was voiced by Adriasaurus.
If the music soundtrack "Your reality" is so chill and good vibe, it's because it's an apology song from Monika, for all the horrible things she's done to us and her friends. So she's also apologising for all the traumatizing things you witnessed xD
ok so since matt here is confused, here’s all the dokis and their names Sayori- short, brownish hair, single red bow Natsuki- short pink hair, red ribbons Yuri- long dark purple hair, no hair accessories Monika- long brownish hair in a ponytail, white bow
Your Reality plays at the end of the game while the credits are going. That's why it's so sweet, it's supposed to calm you down after going through all that stuff. (Monika actually sings the song too!)
"I didn't even know the genre" Me: oh well he's in for a ride- (Edit: also Heads up, the game is a psychological horror game so the scary things are really a part of it-)
"I have zero context" Me: Oh N o . Edit: mans is traumatized Also isn't that last song the credits song? Anyway, Matthew, do not trust this game with any of your feelings it shall crush you in more ways than one. GL!! :) 🍀
I completely forgot how much of a banger DDLC songs are- also, imma continue to recommend the Mystery Skulls Animated series, lol- in order, of course XD
A warning to ya, don't play the game when in a bad state of mind. I played the game when I was in a pretty dark place and let's just say it had an effect on me that only made my mental state plunge. The game is a psychological horror and it's one of the best out there, but that also means it can affect people very differently. Just a fair warning before you jump into that game.
@@marziiepan Also, the fact that it says it's for people 13 an up is a little fucked up if you ask me, that age rating should be much higher for the scenes that go on in the game.
Haha, the trauma from going into this with no context is great. The vocalist in the second song that was doing Monika's voice that you kept talking about is called Or3o, she's crazy talented. The whole Random Encounters crew from the second song is, but I think Or3o was the one you kept asking about.
I recommend reacting to more Random Encounters things, they are the ones who made Just Monika. And the singer of Monika is Or3o and she was also Monika in Doki Doki Forever! I’m glad you’re looking into other fandoms 😌✨
DDLC presents itself as a normal dating sim but at the start it says “this game is not suitable for children or people who are easily disturbed. Please click “OK” to verify you are over the age of 13” The game slowly morphs into a horror game with Monika, the club president, being the main “villain” The plot for DDLC is basically that Sayori, your childhood friend, drags you to her club, the literature club, and you meet a bunch of girls. You start writing poems trying to impress any 1 of the 4 members, but Monika always seems a bit left out. You can’t choose to help her in the festival, nor are you able to make your poems appeal to her. The poems you read from every character eventually gives more info on them and their… troubles. Yuri’s first hints are in a poem where she writes about feeding a raccoon, but she almost puts too much detail in the way she cuts the bread, and repeats the phrase “brandishing my knife” multiple times, this is hinting to how she likes knifes, and gets a certain kind of high from cutting herself. Yuri dies by committing suicide, more so stabbing herself multiple times in both the stomach and the chest, after confessing to you and being deleted after. Sayori’s first hints are in a poem where she talks about giving away little bottles of happiness, but leaving almost none for herself. This clearly shows how she try’s to make everyone around her happy, and in doing so leading her to depression, and eventually suicide, by hanging herself in her bedroom. Sayori is deleted after the game restarts, ending the first play through with you walking into her bedroom and finding her. Natsuki doesn’t really do much wrong though, nor do we see her mention anything in her poems. She’s overly dramatic and rude, and likes to write about more sad things in a cutesy manner. The most we hear from her about her own life is in the second play through, out of 3, where she says “my dad would kill me if he knew about this” as well as when she shuts down after not having enough food or energy to stay awake. This is clearly hinting to how her dad abuses and starves her. She is more of a vessel to help Monika stray you, the player, away from other characters. Mentioning how herself and Yuri “aren’t good enough” for you, and how you should hang out with Monika more. She never really dies, she actually gets deleted after running off screen, from throwing up at the sight of Yuri’s dead body. Monika’s first hints are in a poem where she talks about looking outside through a “window”, and seeing a young boy. This obviously hints at how she is self aware. Monika continues to talk to the player directly and begins breaking the fourth wall, more and more often. After all the characters are dead, and deleted, she casually explains… while eating a cupcake, that she had become so obsessed with you as a person, instead of the character you’re playing, that she figured out how to kill off the characters and delete them. She also mentions how at first she tried just convincing you to pay more attention to her, but not being able to break through the original code, which prevents you from being able to grow closer to her. One of her poems even crashes the game for a split second, and people suspect she tried to write code as the poem. The second play through ends with you and Monika talking about random things in an empty classroom, seemingly floating in an endless void. In order to get to the end of this stage of talking endlessly, you have to go into the character files and delete her file. Monika then decides that she was too selfish and instead lets you play through one more round, bringing back all the characters but leaving herself out. You play through the first day as if it were the first play through, the only change being that Sayori had the title of president of the literature club. But, in inheriting the title of president, she herself becomes self aware, and pulls you back at the end of the first day to tell you. She says that she knows what had happened to herself and all the other members, including how you had deleted Monika. She spirals down the same path of obsession that Monika did. Monika suddenly appears in front of the screen and claims that it would be better off if the entire club didn’t exist, clearly realizing that anyone who becomes president will also become self aware. The game ends with the entire game being deleted, ending with the first voice lines you ever hear. Monika saying: “C-Can you...can you hear me? Uh...can you hear me? Uh, can you hear me? Hi, it's me Um... So you know how I've been like, practicing piano and stuff? I'm not really any good at it yet, like, at all But I wrote you a song and I was kinda hoping that I could show it to you because I worked really, really hard on it So...yeah!” She then proceeds to sing a song about wanting to be with you forever, and not knowing wether she loves you enough to just let you be, trading out her happiness for yours. Lyrics: Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you The ink flows down into a dark puddle Just move your hand, write the way into his heart But in this world of infinite choices What will it take just to find that special day? What will it take just to find that special day? Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today? When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway When I can't even read my own feelings What good are words when a smile says it all? And if this world won't write me an ending What will it take just for me to have it all? Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me? Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free? The ink flows down into a dark puddle How can I write love into reality? If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat What do you call love in your reality? And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you I'll leave you be So, in conclusion, we can tell that Dan Salvato is a genius and that this game is scarring 😀 Edit: I didn’t realize I knew this game well enough to review the entire game, including a small fan theory
Here's a suggestion for a game to listen to, the game is called Subnautica and I personally like (almost) all of the fan songs that came out of it. The in-game music was really good and the story is one of the more interesting ones I've ever seen (the second story kinda flopped after being changed but everything else is good)
the minecraft music video you watched isn't just voice acting the original song is by random encounters and features actual people playing the characters! and there's actually a cool animated video for Doki Doki forever too
Yeah I'm sure it's clear at this point, but Doki Doki Literature Club is a psychological horror game disguised as a visual novel dating simulator. It's great.
Every time, DDLC gives me chills, or I guess you could say it makes my heart beat. It's a shame that he's going to play DDLC while knowing about the game. In my opinion the game is best played without knowing anything about it and I can confirm that It's scarred me for life. Good job btw. It's good to know that you're making amazing content.
I'm so sad he didn't watch the animation for Doki Doki Forever. It's so well done and kind of explains the story a bit better than some of the others in my opinion
Hey Mathew you should listen to Will Wood! He’s an great artist and his band Will Wood and the tapeworms mixed with his separate album has an lot of unique music!
You can not believe how happy this made me! I love DDLC with a passion, but I honestly didn't expect you to cover it here. Thank you so much! Btw, the singer for Monika in both Just Monika and Doki Doki Forever is named OR3O, I'd highly recommend listening to more of her.
I just saw you reacted to the artist Mitski a couple months back. You should check out some of her other stuff too! I really like I don't smoke and Drunk walk home which you should totally check out in another video. (pls listen to more Mitski I love her so much and your reactions are always really entertaining) She quit making music and touring a couple years back, saying "its time to be a human again" so if you want to listen to her entire discography in your own time you don't need to worry about catching up before she puts any new stuff out lol. to end off this comment here's a not so fun fact: When she was writing Nobody she was having a mental breakdown, the repetitive "nobody"s was her scribbling the word over and over in a frantically upset state of mind. :(
I love how you listened to the most peaceful one at the end and was afraid that it was gonna be like others. The OST of the game itself is quite nice, tho. Anyway, DDLC time. The game is a horror-dating simulator type of thing. You have three options, Natsuki, Yuri, and Sayori. Monika is supposed to be a side character. Monika becomes self-aware and tries to get rid of the other girls, by messing around with their files, which causes their weird behaviour. That's basically it, without too many spoilers.
@@segonx9817 Tbh I like Candy Heartz because it’s so sudden, but it’s also creepy and I can only listen to it for a certain amount of time before my ears begin to bleed. Candy Hearts on the other hand is just a nice song that I would put in my playlist. So I think Candy Hearts.
Love how Your Reality is last after all the screwed up songs I before it and your reaction to it when it’s just a slow piano song song with amazing vocals
You should absolutely watch more of the Stupendium's stuff! He's a brilliant lyricist!! He does a lot of songs based off of different games, like I said absolutely amazing!
Bro, you MUST listen to NSR music! I recommend listening to all the EDM versions of each of the 6 songs. The game is pretty obscure, so many of your fans would also get to learn about its existence. I think you'd love it!
The one with the amazing vocals was or3o! She has original songs that would be worth checking out. The original songs are all connected to each other in some way, and have nice stories packed in them, so I would recommend watching them all in one video :).
Basically it’s based off a game where you’re playing a game where you’re in this literature club with four girls you in the joining and trying to get to know one of them or all of them but they all have their own flaws and most of her kind of crazy in a way but they are all good except for Monica The club president
I would love you to react to more songs from the first artist the doki doki song is his most popular but most different out of his and he has great animations and my favorite wordplay/lyrics out of any artist you could listen to some songs from him. -The Fine Print -Slide Into The Void -Rest Employed(my favorite one) -Losing My Patients -Data Stream
@@TheOneAndOnlyClodsire Minecraft is one of the top two best-selling games on this planet, with its only rival, Tetris, lacking the right gameplay to work with animations. That, in case you haven't noticed, is the reason why a Minecraft animation of a song would be more popular than its actual music video. In this case, there's also the added benefit of legitimate death in it instead of ones faked by necessity.
It’s funny that in every single video Monika seems to be the green eyed character but Mathew keeps not knowing who is Monika after listening to 3 different songs
Basically your right it’s about a club and it starts of all cutesy except for monika casually breaking the forth wall every once in a while.and basically monkia is aware she’s in a video game and keeps deleting all the other girls cause she’s in love with you(well your character In the game)
Seeing that nobody cleared this up already, here I am to do it myself. At 8:24 Mathew pauses at a screen with a character and mistakes her for Monika, so here’s the ways I tell them apart- Monika: sort of brownish long hair with green eyes Yuri: long purple hair Natsuki: short pink hair with two small ponytails (the character mistaken for Monika) Sayori: short pink hair with a bow Hope this helped clarify I guess-
I think you gotta do more reactions to this fandom as there are alot of really good fanmusic and stuff. Also the "Just Monika" one you reacted to was not the original- the original was made by RandomEncounters which you should react to sometime!
Ok, ddlc looks like a dating sim. HOWEVER, Monika becomes self-aware and starts killing off her friends to make you love her. Eventually, you have to delete her from the game file. Bam.
@@Missy_12345 not for me I already played it I mean for Matthew since he didn't play it yet so getting to know the story by playing it yourself would be fun
Lemme explain the plot in a simple way: It’s a typical dating sim but Moinika happens to be aware that they’re in a video game AND happens to fall in love with the player (aka you) so she kills all the other girls so it’s just her.
This was an absolutely W I L D ride lmao
That’s Doki Doki for you lmao
Hi!

"The person voicing Sayori is a pretty solid voice actor"
Well the song is originally a musical from random encounters, The Minecraft version is just a fan work that got more popular since it was turned into well minecraft.
Considering that kinda weird choice not reacting to MMD version of Dok doki forever since the animation is just soo brilliant.
but it is a lil sad that a fan made version is more popular
To be fair it didn't become more popular JUST because it was made into minecraft, its also cause the original video itself is....a bit off putting, the live action feels odd and from what i can tell a lot of people found it to feel like that too, so they just tend to gravitate towards the minecraft animation more cause of that.

the creator of the mmd ddlc video doesn’t like reposts / reaction videos im pretty sure :)
@@ieatedgod OOoh that would make sense since there are lack of reactions to that
You should definitely play the game. You'd love it, definitely right up your street.

nah i played the game and I knew one of the main things and man it messed me up
I mean he thought natsuki was Monika so he will be confused

“I have made a servere and continuous lack of my judgment, and I don’t expect to be forgiven, I am simply here to apologize.”

Sayori- short, brownish hair, single red bow
Natsuki- short pink hair, red ribbons
Yuri- long dark purple hair, no hair accessories

Just move your hand, write the way into his heart
But in this world of infinite choices
What will it take just to find that special day?
What will it take just to find that special day?
Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today?
When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway
When I can't even read my own feelings
What good are words when a smile says it all?
And if this world won't write me an ending
What will it take just for me to have it all?
Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me?
Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free?
The ink flows down into a dark puddle
How can I write love into reality?
If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat
What do you call love in your reality?
And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you
I'll leave you be
So, in conclusion, we can tell that Dan Salvato is a genius and that this game is scarring 😀

the original song is by random encounters and features actual people playing the characters!
and there's actually a cool animated video for Doki Doki forever too
All of these songs are my childhood bro
Stupendium is GOATED broskis
Listen to his other songs, he animates them himself too!!
Yeah I'm sure it's clear at this point, but Doki Doki Literature Club is a psychological horror game disguised as a visual novel dating simulator. It's great.
I SPEEDRAN my way over here, gosh I love my childhood 🤩
You’re also FIRST!
@@MathewMcKenna YOO, being sick isn’t that bad /j
SAME
.
mathew: looks at natsuki
mathew: hmm, yep thats monika
Every time, DDLC gives me chills, or I guess you could say it makes my heart beat.
It's a shame that he's going to play DDLC while knowing about the game. In my opinion the game is best played without knowing anything about it and I can confirm that It's scarred me for life.
Good job btw. It's good to know that you're making amazing content.
dw i finger snapped for you
Out of all the fandoms, I did not expect DDLC tbh
I'm so sad he didn't watch the animation for Doki Doki Forever. It's so well done and kind of explains the story a bit better than some of the others in my opinion
YESS OMG I LOVE DDLC BC IT WAS SUCH AN INTERSTING TAKE ON A "DATING NOVEL"
OR3O sings as Monika in Just Monika! definitely react to her songs!
Hey Mathew you should listen to Will Wood! He’s an great artist and his band Will Wood and the tapeworms mixed with his separate album has an lot of unique music!
"It turned from vaguely uncomfortable to *very* uncomfortable." Now he gets it!
I love how the songs are basically the game in a nutshell.
Or3o is talented, her voice is so satisfying to listen to!
You can not believe how happy this made me! I love DDLC with a passion, but I honestly didn't expect you to cover it here. Thank you so much! Btw, the singer for Monika in both Just Monika and Doki Doki Forever is named OR3O, I'd highly recommend listening to more of her.
You have no clue how happy I am to see that you’ve reacted to the music from my comfort game!
Matt: "OK, so people keep disappearing. Like being *deleted* from people's minds."
Me: oh no
doki doki has one of the best soundtracks
Please do more Stupendium music!!! His music is absolutely great and he has amazing lyrics.
I just saw you reacted to the artist Mitski a couple months back. You should check out some of her other stuff too! I really like I don't smoke and Drunk walk home which you should totally check out in another video. (pls listen to more Mitski I love her so much and your reactions are always really entertaining) She quit making music and touring a couple years back, saying "its time to be a human again" so if you want to listen to her entire discography in your own time you don't need to worry about catching up before she puts any new stuff out lol.
to end off this comment here's a not so fun fact: When she was writing Nobody she was having a mental breakdown, the repetitive "nobody"s was her scribbling the word over and over in a frantically upset state of mind. :(
yes!!!!!! mitski is fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Doki doki literature club"
"No idea what it's about"
Hm.
Uh oh.
After "Why Did I Say Okie Doki?" I think you grasped the core essence of the game!
I love how you listened to the most peaceful one at the end and was afraid that it was gonna be like others.
The OST of the game itself is quite nice, tho.
Anyway, DDLC time.
The game is a horror-dating simulator type of thing. You have three options, Natsuki, Yuri, and Sayori. Monika is supposed to be a side character.
Monika becomes self-aware and tries to get rid of the other girls, by messing around with their files, which causes their weird behaviour.
That's basically it, without too many spoilers.
Im just gonna say that is in fact, massive spoilers HAHA
the OST is quite nice
until Candy Heart*z*
@@venificusmalatia4524 lmfao I'm sorry 😭😭
@@dsfmdiya7500 which one do you prefer more, tho? Candy Hearts or Candy Heartz?
@@segonx9817
Tbh I like Candy Heartz because it’s so sudden, but it’s also creepy and I can only listen to it for a certain amount of time before my ears begin to bleed. Candy Hearts on the other hand is just a nice song that I would put in my playlist.
So I think Candy Hearts.
Love how Your Reality is last after all the screwed up songs I before it and your reaction to it when it’s just a slow piano song song with amazing vocals
the stupendium is amazing you should watch more of him
You should absolutely watch more of the Stupendium's stuff! He's a brilliant lyricist!! He does a lot of songs based off of different games, like I said absolutely amazing!
Bro, you MUST listen to NSR music! I recommend listening to all the EDM versions of each of the 6 songs. The game is pretty obscure, so many of your fans would also get to learn about its existence. I think you'd love it!
NOT THE MINECRAFT ANIMATION I USED TO BE OBSESSED WITH LOL
when he called natsuki "monika" i didnt know how or what to feel.
For the surface level, you were right about the game
The one with the amazing vocals was or3o! She has original songs that would be worth checking out.
The original songs are all connected to each other in some way, and have nice stories packed in them, so I would recommend watching them all in one video :).
I'd say the second song is the one that gives a bit more of a clear indication of what happens in game.
Watching people react to DDLC blind is like watching someone go through the 5 stages of grief
Basically it’s based off a game where you’re playing a game where you’re in this literature club with four girls you in the joining and trying to get to know one of them or all of them but they all have their own flaws and most of her kind of crazy in a way but they are all good except for Monica The club president
There’s a 3-D musical version for this there are a lot of music videos for this game in the song especially if you never wanna be apart 🙃
Please don’t spoil it..
I knew from like the first few sentences that this was going to be fun, as someone who's known and played DDLC. Pure joy
THE NOSTALGIA!! OMG I listened to all of these songs before and it has been so long!
5:11
"WHATS WITH THE CUPCAKES?"
8:45 this game is free but therapy is not
Lmao
Omg your posts gets better and better!!!
The moment I saw the title, I was like- “Oh God”
"It sounds so beautiful!" Matt says, crying
ddlc is certainly a trip, and I suggest you give it a play! Its so good, with a great plot/story. 11/10
I would love you to react to more songs from the first artist the doki doki song is his most popular but most different out of his and he has great animations and my favorite wordplay/lyrics out of any artist you could listen to some songs from him.
-The Fine Print
-Slide Into The Void
-Rest Employed(my favorite one)
-Losing My Patients
-Data Stream
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD. Listening to fan made music and just memorizing it
Monika... Just Monika...
How did you end up watching the MINECRAFT version of Random Encounters' DDLC song first?!
minecraft follows me everywhere apparently
The Minecraft version for some reason is more popular than the original
@@TheOneAndOnlyClodsire Minecraft is one of the top two best-selling games on this planet, with its only rival, Tetris, lacking the right gameplay to work with animations. That, in case you haven't noticed, is the reason why a Minecraft animation of a song would be more popular than its actual music video. In this case, there's also the added benefit of legitimate death in it instead of ones faked by necessity.
I’d honestly love to see a part 2 of this where you react to the animations or the endings to the game (if I’m not incorrect there is more than one-)
We appreciate you and what you do man! Keep up the funny
It’s funny that in every single video Monika seems to be the green eyed character but Mathew keeps not knowing who is Monika after listening to 3 different songs
*points to Natsuki* "THIS one, who I believe is Monika,"
I can’t believe he picked up on Cupcakes being important but not the fact that Sayori was constantly being associated with Hanging.
8:42 even though I always see it coming it still scares the hell of of me
8:27
NOT BRO THINKING NATSUKI WAS MONIKA BAHHAHA
Monika in Just Monika and Doki Doki Forever are both played by OR3O!
him not knowing what it's about
*demonic anticipation*
You should really try reacting to genshin demo’s
YES
or azdaha theme
You should do a livestream of playing doki doki literature club! it takes a minute for it to really get good but it would be so intresting!
Watching this is just the “people who know: people who don’t know” meme format
Mathew: I’m getting so tense
The music: *Doki Doki*
Basically your right it’s about a club and it starts of all cutesy except for monika casually breaking the forth wall every once in a while.and basically monkia is aware she’s in a video game and keeps deleting all the other girls cause she’s in love with you(well your character In the game)
I so want to see his playthrough. It's gonna be fantastic.
Seeing that nobody cleared this up already, here I am to do it myself. At 8:24 Mathew pauses at a screen with a character and mistakes her for Monika, so here’s the ways I tell them apart-
Monika: sort of brownish long hair with green eyes
Yuri: long purple hair
Natsuki: short pink hair with two small ponytails (the character mistaken for Monika)
Sayori: short pink hair with a bow
Hope this helped clarify I guess-
I think you gotta do more reactions to this fandom as there are alot of really good fanmusic and stuff.
Also the "Just Monika" one you reacted to was not the original- the original was made by RandomEncounters which you should react to sometime!
3:55 POV : you've just discovered DDLC
Ok, ddlc looks like a dating sim. HOWEVER, Monika becomes self-aware and starts killing off her friends to make you love her. Eventually, you have to delete her from the game file. Bam.
Aha ah spoilers
@@orientallily4860 if you don’t want spoilers then why are you even here lmao
@@Missy_12345 not for me I already played it I mean for Matthew since he didn't play it yet so getting to know the story by playing it yourself would be fun
@@orientallily4860 the songs basically summed up the whole story tf do you mean 🤨
If you mean the side stories in the DDLC+ game then they didn’t spoil that lmao. They just literally summed up everything that happened in this video.
When I hear 'blind' and 'doki' it never goes well
This would be great to watch him stream the game his reactions would be amazing 🤣
“Everyday I imagine a future where I can be with you🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥😔”
Lemme explain the plot in a simple way: It’s a typical dating sim but Moinika happens to be aware that they’re in a video game AND happens to fall in love with the player (aka you) so she kills all the other girls so it’s just her.
Matthew: *calls natsuki Monika*
Me: And I took that personally
Damn a blast from the past, I honestly forgot how banger ddlc songs were, kind of makes me want to reply it
YOU GUESSED THE CONTEXT CORRECTLY! CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THE VIDEOS! Now for you to play the game.
yeah going in blind to ddlc is the most insane thing you can do
