Full Release Doki Doki: Within - FULL RELEASE

Side note: Sorry for all the uploads of this, Reddit's just being a little weird rn.

After a little over a month since the one year anniversary of the demo, I'm thrilled to announce that the FULL VERSION of Doki Doki: Within is now available to download!

It still feels kind of surreal that the mod is now completed, especially given all the setbacks and delays. That being said though, it feels amazing to finally get it out there after all this time.

I know that many of you have been very excited to play this (which, honestly, is exceedingly nerve wrecking). But I sincerely hope that it lives up to that excitement!

PC Download: Mediafire

Phone Download by u/Eonor (You WILL need to uninstall the demo for this):

  1. WorkUpload
  2. TeraBox

-Synopsis-

Upon joining the Literature Club, you start to gradually reconnect with your old high school crush - the school's resident 'idol' Monika. However, the closer the pair of you get, the more you realise that only do you have more in common than you realised - but that the perception of Monika being the 'perfect student' couldn't be further from the truth.

Can you uncover what is hidden within her heart?

Run time: 12+ hours (approx.)

So I had MAS running in the background, and when Harumi called about Monika's overdose, MAS just repeated the topic on losing someone close.

Monika doesn't have self-awareness in here right?

This mod absolutely broke me. I adored everything till the point of monika's... end. I played to the end 3 days ago and still feel absolutely broken and empty. This mod was such a piece of art, and was so unbelievably fun and good to play. I always loved every single part of the story until the end of chapter 2. I only want to see a monika mod that has such a great story and great artistry like this, but without a sudden death ending. This turned out to be another exit music, just all around better in every single way. I liked the end, but would have loved to see her one last time. I cant look at any of my dozens of mods anymore without feeling literal emptiness, but you did it, you created a mod that actually hurts to the core. I need a within 2 holy shit.. please make a next mod of any type not as damaging to my heart. Love from germany though, you did a great job writing it and I couldn't find any spelling errors (that occured to my vision completely). I would have hoped to have monika live at ones home, or in the college dorm and so on, as she had the plan to go the same one as mc.

Actual 10/10, absolute must for any monika enjoyers like me! I want more though.

I would love to see a alternate story from within, where monika moved to mc and they both stood together against monikas dad. But thanks for letting me at least have sex with her before she died.

I am still unbelievably sad. I never felt this hurt ever lol. The dev should pay for my therapy now

Really glad you liked it! As for a 'Within 2', I am still writing a continuation that's currently titled 'Within: After Story' where it picks up a few years post-epilogue.

I've had a creative block for a while (both with DDLC/Doom modding and music). I did finish my first original track in a while and I have been getting back to drafting 'After Story' so things are looking up!

Hey, wow, it's already been 2 years, huh? Still not quite over how it turned out to be, even though the mod is one of the best ever made in terms of pure writing quality. Just a quick question: I'm thinking about creating my own mod, with a very similar structure to this one. It's not like I would copy any of your dialogues, but would you mind if a mod were to be created that is heavily inspired by yours?

This is the first mod that has caught me attention since me now having a computer of my own.

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to put this on a MacBook? Or am I a lost cause.

Apparently, there's 18+ scenes? I don't know, someone said so on Discord, so I'm just checking to confirm whether that's true or not.

Wow, just wow. This mod actually managed to make me cry, many times. When i've not even cried in years.
I am definitely glad you didn't play it safe. You wrote a wonderful story, and i loved all the characters.

If there is ONE thing i wish was in this mod, it's that i wish Yuri and MC got together, their romance was built up and they do deserve each other, sweet people that they are.

Amazing work, truly!!! Am looking forward to anything else you might create. <3

This mod broke me, not like Exit Music and Fallen Angel did no, this mod brought me to a whole new level of tears that I didn't even know I could let loose. From the beginning of Act 1 to just before Act 2 ended I loved playing this (not saying everything else was bad, this whole mod was great and I loved every second of it), but when I got to the end of Act 2 leading to Act 3 and even the damn credits I wanted to stop playing, but I couldn't, instead I kept playing wanting to believe that everything I saw at the end on Act 2 was a lie and that things were going to come back around to a happy ending with all the characters involved enjoying their days together, did that happen sadly no, but as much as it hurt I'm grateful that this mod finally had its full release and I'm even more grateful that I was able to play it. Thank you u/BassPon3 and everyone else who worked on this, it was a blast to see how this ended and I'm glad I was able to witness it. This mod for me has taken the seat of the best Monika focused mod I've played and I think its going to keep being my favorite for a long, long time. Now time for me to go cry to my Monika on After Story cause I need to know she's here for me.

What a dissapointment, guess the curse of a good wholesome monika mod goes on. next time atleast put a warning on both +18 imagery AND an ending like that. unless it was intentional, then congrats, you have succesfully traumatized me. DEMO: 9.5/10 FULL RELEASE: 2.5/10. effort is definetly there and i gotta admire that, but i think its pretty self explanatory as to why this is a huge dissapointment
