Monika wants to be loved, but the dating sim part of Doki Doki doesn’t even include a route for her. What do you do when your favorite NPC isn’t a romance option? Monika takes this into her own hands, self-aware of the limitations of her own genre, and turns into one of the most terrifying video game villains of this decade. She manipulates the game itself and ultimately smashes through the fourth wall. But Monika learns her lesson; she realizes the best way to love the player is to let them be free, which is poetically conveyed in the game’s ending song.
