There were plans to include special notes that harm you in the initial release, inspired by Friday Night Funkin' HD.
The custom dialogue implies that this takes place before Monika's character file gets deleted in DDLC or possibly even during the popular DDLC mod Monika After Story.
Monika briefly appears in the Kickstarter trailer for Friday Night Funkin: The Full Ass Game.
Monika's third song, "Your Demise," is a darker rendition of DDLC's Your Reality mixed with FNF's Thorns, which includes a BPM that changes twice throughout the song.
In "Bara No Yume", Senpai sings parts of "Roses".
The song translates to "Dreams of Roses" in Japanese, which might be a reference to the former title of the second song.
The second song, "Bara No Yume", is one of the first modded songs to have two opponents singing separately, meaning the antagonists have two voice tracks instead of one.
This leitmotif does not appear in the Spotify release.
The song also includes a leitmotif from The Jetzons' Hard Times in the background.
Monika's song, "High School Conflict," is a remix of Poem Panic! and DDLC's main motif, with the latter described in a YouTube comment by CelShader as being Dreams of Love and Literature.
The mod does not play off this headcanon either.
Monika was speculated to be the sister of Senpai, but this was promptly deconfirmed by Ninjamuffin99 in a Reddit AMA.
Her down pose appears to be a reference to a specific pose she does frequently in Doki Doki Literature Club.
It's been confirmed multiple times that Senpai and Spirit are separate characters.
This is one of the first mods to depict Senpai accurately, rather than making him aware of being trapped in a game.
Monika is the first ever mod to fully take after Senpai's sprite style and work it close to the source material.
It is unknown her sprite will glitch, taking on a variety of distorted forms. She holds her microphone with her right hand, while on the left she holds a pink ballpoint pen with a heart shaped decor on top.ĭuring "Your Demise," she takes on a much larger form relative to Boyfriend, resting her elbows on a desk and glancing between Boyfriend and the player. She also wears a dark-blue skirt, black thigh-high socks, and white uwabaki slippers with pink tips. She wears the typical school uniform, which is a warm gray blazer over a brown sweater-vest, and underneath that a white-collared shirt, topped off with a red ribbon. She has two prominent strands of hair beside her bangs that reach slightly past her chest. Monika has extensively long coral brown hair that she keeps in a high ponytail tied back with a large white bow, curled slightly at the ends.
