After recent events, small, distinct changes make MC notice shifts in his life. Weird, unfamiliar feelings come up everywhere, even in the places he’s always been the most comfortable. All he wants is for things to go back to normal, but these strange, new emotions are keeping that from happening—which might have something to do with Monika. MC slowly begins to question if a return to normalcy is even possible, with every little thing feeling increasingly ‘off’. As nothing continues to go back to the way it was, MC finds himself beginning to get closer to a distant friend to attempt to understand it all, unaware of what these small moments together really mean. As MC and Monika begin to become closer friends, he finds himself on a path he never saw coming, and begins to go through different stages of denial, confusion, relief, clarity, and many other emotions to try to either return to normal or live with this new reality on a journey of self-understanding. Nobody understands love. You just got to go for it. “Doki Doki: A Life with You” is a Monika-centered mod of emotional development, self-understanding, and romantic enlightenment. It focuses on the real-world struggles of emotions, love, communication, and relationships.
