[2021 design] her leg's rendering and general proportions are different. skirt seems to behave differently and the pleats look different. hair appears to be longer and more salmon colored and less of a pinkish coral. bow placement and size seems to differ a tad. the face and the eyes in particular different as well.

this observation is based souly off of these two sprites and not them from other areas of the game.

I know ddlc tackles serious themes but it just feels kind of I guess forced you know? like with Yuri for example, while i'm not someone to go ape shit over a potrayal of mental illness I that I don't like or doesn't represent me, I feel like her being crazy and the things she does is mostly just for shock value. the only thing the original game had imo that wasn't flat out jumpscares or "oh God! what's going on with my waifu!" was 4th wall breaking.

though to be fair, mental illness and things mental illness can do to people isn't really enough for horror in my opinion and I might be too desensitized from jo_spiu to ever find it to be enough for horror, it's sad and makes for good drama though, and 4th wall breaking and shock value shit while can be used for horror, and ddlc does make good use out of it, it's just not enough to be scary or leave you with anything after you played the game and you realized Monika isn't real but a fictional character.

though now that things like chat GPT exist, I think Monika and the fact she's AI just isn't that scary now tbh.

I think that they tried to make the girls less stylized for marketing purposes and to make cute merchandise for each of the girls, almost like they were trying to rebrand a bit from the disturbing, honestly kind of cheesy visual novel horror game it originally was into a light hearted story of teenage girls becoming close friends.

I like doki doki literature club a lot but I think it's over glazed and i'd consider it a 6/10 game.
