[SPOILER] Natsuki route

My questions is if there is a way to get some more info or gameplay with Natsuki.
It seems to always go for me:
1. Normal gameplay plus Sayori's suicide.
2. Yuri and her cutting and suicide.
3. Hacking by Monika.

Sayori's issues are explained really well by herself and she starts it all and is central character at the end, Monika has a huge role with her hacking midgame too, Yuri's behavior is explained and shown very graphically few times too.

But Natsuki seems to have barely anything dark actually in the game, just the small events (protein bar from Monika) and remarks by the characters about food, malnourishment (dubious, since it comes from Monika after Sayori's suicide and Natsuki's behavior and looks are fit for a quite stereotypical flat chested tsundere), looking for coins, dad hating boys, not giving her food, etc.
Is there some sort of 'Natsuki route' I'm missing where this stuff (bulimia, ednos, poverty, overly controlling parent, maybe even incest?) is explored or not?

There is also the poem about "papa" that heavily implies some very major physical, mental and possibly sexual abuse to Natsuki by her dad. I only saw the poem on one of my three play throughs...can't remember if it was a secret poem or not. At any rate that plus everything you have mentioned is all I have been able to uncover for her backstory

I've seen that one too in game and in the files. I think it was a secret one. It also doesn't mention anything more specific, just coins, food, criticism, etc.

I have to admit that I'd love to interact more with the characters, in perhaps a non-meta version of the game, where the President isn't self-aware... In the end, it just feels like we didn't get enough of the girls, especially Sayori. Though I suppose it's better to have the game be focused than to risk ending up with something that's all over the place.

But wow, in the end, it wasn't since Undertale that a game impressed me like this. That song at the end... makes me just as melancholic as the ones from Undertale...

i actually found a moder on reddit thats making a really solid looking non meta version with allot of routs its not out yet butt he is keeping us updated chek him out his name is Shanewallis12345

There is one part where Natsuki's head snaps and she comes rushing at the screen that is incredibly disturbing - the worst jumpscare for me, at least, in the game. Otherwise, yeah, there's not too much. You have to choose all Natsuki's words for two days, I believe, in act 2 to get this scare.

Act 2 yes, but you only need to pick her words in the first day (2nd and 3rd poems are forced to be for Yuri), and even so, you have a 50% chance, IIRC.

On the wiki it details that. http://ddlcwiki.ga/wiki/Main_Page

It's still not a part of her route. And it even says she is the only one without an evil end (suicide) and her problem is least explored.

It actually goes pretty far in depth/darkness with her story. The story that I’ve gathered so far is that she is being abused by her father in always (mentally sexually physically) and in act 2/3 the mention this with natsuki’s poem about her father. Dropping coins maybe be an excuse for her to bend over to violate her. This is referenced later by yuri when she tells her to bend over and look for change near the vending machine, she breaks down and runs out of the room suggesting traumatic stress behind change.  She’s also starved again in act 2/3 she passes out and has to be feed a protein bar because she’s too malnourished. Most of this can be confirmed using the wikia.

I don´t think it´s that Natsuki is malnourished though. In the first act, if you decide to help Natsuki during the festival. She states that Sunday that when you meet up with her that her dad MAKES her eat all of her food. But then again, she may be lying and refused to take the cupcake because she was scared her dad would find out she ate. I´m not sure. But, I don think she is being starved. I do like to here these conspiracies though!

Actually I think she is malnourished, though. She might eat all of her food because he usually never cooks. In the "Papa" poem, it says she likes when he cooks, which could mean he doesn't do it often. Also, it says she likes when he keeps food in the house. Plus, she is being abused (duh).  Just my guess, though. I like your theory, though. Much more positive!

lol Thanks!

Hm, I thought that the coins part was because Natsuki's father didn't give her lunch money. But in the poem she also wrote that he actually does give her that money, so I don't really know. Natsuki also mentions that she likes when her father forgets coins on the couch. That leads me to believe that her father does not give her the lunch money. (Just my guess)

The poem is really confusing..

You just have to spend ALL your time with Natsuki in all the acts that you get the chance too.  Just try and devote all your time to Natsuki. And write all your poems for her too. AND *SPOILERS* she even tries to kiss you at a certain point. 

(1 edit) (+1)

I also got to that point... Natsuki kneels towards you to kiss you but then suddenly Sayori barges in the scene and gets upset without saying much... and shortly afterwards, Sayori hangs herself.

Her first poem already inticates that she feels lonely, misunderstood by everyone, worthless. Shes a very deep charakter, hiding behind a wall of sugar and sweets. Shes trying to fit into the world, shes trying to find someone whos able to understand that she suffers much in the background.

In her mind, everyone does what fits perfectly, except of her - shes only trying.

Natsukis road is there. It's just not readable for everyone. You almost need to have some kind of experience with the situation shes in until you see whats going on.

Thanks for the info man.

Can someone tell me how to get all the words for Natsuki right?

cause i dont know a thing

The page I linked has some pretty interesting theories that might surprise you...
