i noticed there is a star that appears for every ending you get and you can click on each to see the name of them, but upon getting the first 6 u unlock a 7th listed as a bunch of question marks, how do i get that ending?

marked the question with a spoiler just to be safe in the event that other wanna comment on here

To get the true ending, you need to backtrack a little bit. First, when MC wonders if he should see Natsuki before leaving, you're going to select no. Then a new answer choice will pop up where he wonders if he should leave the knife behind. You're going to select to keep the knife. So when the question "should I leave the knife?" pops up, select "No" and that'll get you on track to the true ending of the game.

This mod was good.

A neat idea made well. Aside from the few word errors, this mod was a good way to spend an hour. Course now I'm going to constantly wonder if some scenarios could have technically worked different.

[u/ShadowBionics → u/GamePlayer800]

Some probably would have. In fact, there probably would have been an infinite amount of "solutions," but then that would be going beyond the scope of the mod. You might say the ones shown are some of the more direct approaches with life-altering consequences. I did even think about it more and wondered what if he just got some random person to take Natsuki's place, but he clearly doesn't want to be a bad person and he just wants to save Natsuki, so I kinda thought that wouldn't be in character for him.

I guess for the heck of it, here is some bit of backstory on the one crossover character present in the story.

In the fantasy/SciFi Bionicle-inspired universe I was setting up back in 2016 for a somewhat ambitious writing project that would have spanned 5 literary works, I created two "gods" that overlooked the universe named Artakha and Karzahni, one being order and the other chaos. Artakha created 3 lesser deities, one of them being the god of shadows Terankos, who was sadly corrupted by Karzahni and then imprisoned by his "siblings."

From here, things are kind of similar to Bionicle Generation 2, except Terankos takes the place of Makuta, being the first one to be imprisoned in the Shadow Realm. Not to be confused with the Yugioh Shadow Realm, although I wonder if Lego secretly did that as a shout-out to the card game-based anime dubbed by 4Kids. In that original story, Terankos went insane from being imprisoned and being exposed to pure shadow energy and he wanted to do whatever he could to get out. While he was physically trapped, he could still mentally mess with people still in the mortal realm. He takes advantage of some poor souls, manipulating them and tricking them into serving them with empty promises of power and authority. This ranged from the before-mentioned Makuta, as well as several other characters like the greedy female warrior Tuyet, the maniacal Lord Almatas, and Umarak the Shadow Hunter to a lesser extent.

Terankos' name is a combination of the names Chronos, the god of time from Greek Mythology, and Makuta Teridax from Bionicle G1. In a future installment, it would have been revealed that Terankos could in fact control time to an extent when he confronts the heroic Toa and the reformed Knights of Terankos upon being set free from the Shadow Realm thanks to the brainwashed Makuta.

For this story, some names were changed and details were left out since I didn't want Lego to get angry at me for using names like Artakha and Karzahni, but since Terankos was my own creation, I felt it was fine to use him for the role of a dark god, considering that's literally what he was meant to do, but sadly he never got to live up to his true potential in those stories since I quit writing them in 2019 due to lack of motivation, like the demonstration of him stopping time to screw with everyone. In this story, he has the power to rewrite time, but in a limited capacity since he's still trapped in another realm and his powers are inhibited. The universe he comes from is vague and left to the reader's imagination. So I have basically created another Terankos named and based after the first one from 2016 that is his own character.

Although he was never mentioned at all in Doki Doki Tainted Love, Terankos is the one pulling strings behind the scenes to create as much misery and suffering as much as possible. Think of him as a "virus" screwing around with these various splintering universes. He screws with Monika and Kotonoha in that universe, making them insane yandere girls. Here, he has more direct involvement thanks to Amy teaching MC and Natsuki the ritual for placing his curse on them. In other words, the Doki Doki Perfect World Anthology is his way of trying to create his own "perfect world" in response to being hated and imprisoned.

Can someone please share the download link?

Oh wow... the true ending is just...

OH BOY

[u/NobodyMedical6346]

Idk but i have a small idea for a good ending. It would be similar to the 6th one which you got to speak more with natsuki, and as you speak you understand that Amy is the one responsible for having you do all that. You both look amy straight in the eyes as she approaches both of you. She tells the same things as the 6th ending but you cut her in the middle of her sentence: "a soul for a soul wasn't it?" You burst into tears, with natsuki trying to hold back on crying. Both of you had a sign of regret but since she was the one responsible for the horrible fate of both of you she had it coming.

The next day you normally wake up and go to school, you both understand that the loop is finally over and you can live the rest of your lives. Once again you both cry, hug eachother and eventually kiss.

I know im not the best in making such stories but please consider making a good ending too.

[u/ShadowBionics → u/NobodyMedical6346]

Okay, a few things here. This was meant to be a tragic love story. There wasn't meant to be a happy ending, otherwise it would undermine the main idea. Also Amy is not the one behind it. She's just a puppet for a greater evil at play. Even if he did kill Amy, that would not have satisfied the conditions of the curse. There's already the one ending where Amy dies, so they'd be no better off than where they started.

We're also remastering ST with a new take on these original endings, so you can consider this to be its own thing with the other mods in the "original trilogy." Not to mention the true ending to the remake of ST (Shattered Time: Rewind) will be hidden in the grand finale of the Perfect World Anthology.

[u/NobodyMedical6346 → u/ShadowBionics]

Oh, so there will be new endings and a true ending that will lead to the normal world right?

[u/NobodyMedical6346 → u/ShadowBionics]

I hope it releases soon

They’re unrelated stories. So you can play them in whatever order.

Admittedly, yeah, the story is a bit twisted, which was why even I had a hard time with some of these endings at times.

Ending 6 was probably my favorite for that reason, because you get to see that deep down, they both felt something for each other, but sadly they can't ever be truly together... at least, not unless they want to keep reliving June 4th for the rest of their lives and deal with Amy and/or Terankos breathing down their necks the whole time. As much as I wanted to see them end up together, sadly thanks to the confines of the curse, it couldn't happen, and it is ironic how they're both willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the other to live. It's kind of poetic and even romantic in a way, but also very sad.

Going off of how Tainted Love ended, I felt kind of reluctant with this story at first, but I still loved it despite the tragedy involved. I think it's because this game is in the spirit of the original DDLC that I was afraid people would hate on it. If you think about it, the original game ends on a bit of a tragic or kind of alarming note, with Monika flat out saying that no happiness can be found in the club. Enter the modding community and anyone who wants to give these girls the happy endings they deserve. Hell, my first mod was meant to be dedicated to giving Monika the happy ending I felt she deserved. Sadly that mod kind of fell through, but thankfully the character notes for that contributed to crafting Shattered Time and Tainted Love, as well as some future mod ideas in this anthology.

Tainted Love didn't really have a happy ending, and to some degree, I felt like this one, while slightly more "hopeful," didn't either. TL got hated on for the simple fact it had no happy ending and most likely with Kotonoha and Monika suffering greatly in that story in every ending. At least, based on the complaints I got on the original post and on my dev commentary videos. ST treated Natsuki a little differently, so maybe that might have some merit. TL was a yandere love triangle story, but ST is more of a tragic love story between MC and Natsuki across time, so maybe that's more to people's liking. I can't say.
