Earthbound players will probably be quite uncomfortable with the decision to delete Monika in the final act. Previously, we encountered her as the Eldritch Abomination, which was notorious for saying, “It hurts,” and in which she looked deformed and glitched up. However, the game’s decision to remove her from Act 3 hints at a lot of stuff. So, how does she get back in?

The game’s first glitch occurs when Monika tells the player to ‘load me’ when you’ve already finished it. This glitch occurs because Monika has a glitched version of her save file. You can’t continue the game without loading the file because you’ll need to delete the ‘firstrun’ file. Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to reinstall the game to play it again.
The game was created by Dan Salvato, a modder known for his work on Project M. The developer had ambivalent feelings about anime but was intrigued by surreal experiences. The game received positive reviews and garnered a massive following on the internet. It is not the only popular game on the PlayStation Vita, but it certainly earned its place in the genre. There are even some hidden surprises in the game.
Yuri’s Sanity Slippage
In Yuri’s Sanity Slippage, a young man suffers the horror of being gaslighted by a villain. It is often a form of Mundane Horror, a Super-Trope that can be categorized as a mixture of insanity and sadness. Yuri’s Sanity Slippage is a variation of this trope, with a song called “Sanity Slippage” being a common variant of the Villainous Breakdown and Driven to Madness Mantra.
Yuri had spent 30 minutes listening to his friends when he heard them talking. His embarrassment and morbid curiosity were both strong emotions. Earlier that night, Yuri had heard them loudly. He had thought they were just forgetting or ‘not caring’ about her anymore. But that was not the case, because he had heard them talking to each other and had no idea what they were doing.
Effects of deletion of Monika from the game
Delete the character of Monika from the game and she will no longer speak to you, even after you’ve forgiven her. Monika’s actions will become repetitive and uninteresting after some time. The character will begin repeating the same lines, saying things like, “I need to go quickly…”. Once the character is deleted, the game will glitch out and Monika will become disembodied.
When the game is restarted, Monika will be unable to interact with Sayori, who is now the club president. Upon realizing that everyone but her is just a program, she kills them all. This causes Sayori to become depressed and hang herself, believing that she doesn’t deserve love. The game will continue without her. But the deletion of Monika will have a significant impact on the game’s plot.
Effects of deletion of Sayori from the game
Deleted from the game in the main ending, Sayori is a very depressed character and nearly takes her own life, which the player is unable to stop. To make things worse, Sayori receives a gift of truth, telling her that she is a computer character, a meaningless file of 1s and 0s, and that she is supposed to fall in love with the player. This is a major plot point in the game and it leaves many questions open.
If you want to save the game before Monika messes with it, you should do it before the game starts. Then, save the code. If you don’t do this, you’ll be faced with a scene where Sayori realizes something is wrong and panics, eventually hanging herself. This is a scene that is particularly disturbing. If you try to outsmart the game by deleting Sayori before the game starts, the screen will show her hanging.
