Yuri is the quiet yet passionate bookworm of the Literature Club. If players want to spend their time with her and play her new side stories, they’ll have to write poems she’ll enjoy. Here are all the words to use to write a perfect poem for her in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.
How to Write Poems for Yuri in Doki Doki Literature Club
In the poetry writing function of the game, the game will give the player lists of various words they can choose from for their poem. Picking words for a poem for Yuri is generally easy, as her words tend to be stronger or darker in tone compared to the favored words of the other members. Here are all the words Yuri favors in the game:
Afterimage, Agonizing, Ambient, Analysis, Anxiety, Atone, Aura, Breathe, Cage, Captive, Climax, Contamination, Covet, Crimson, Desire, Destiny, Determination, Disarray, Disaster, Disoriented, Despise, Disown, Dream, Effulgent, Electricity, Entropy, Essence, Eternity, Existence, Explode, Extreme, Fester, Fickle, Flee, Frightening, Graveyard, Heavensent, Horror, Imagination, Incapable, Incongruent, Infallible, Inferno, Infinite, Insight, Intellectual, Journey, Judgment, Lust, Landscape, Massacre, Meager, Melancholy, Philosophy, Pleasure, Portrait, Question, Raindrops, Secretive, Sensation, Starscape, Suicide, Tenacious, Time, Uncontrollable, Uncanny, Unending, Universe, Unrestrained, Unstable, Variance, Vertigo, Vibrant, Vitality, Vivacious, Vivid, Whirlwind, Wrath.
As long as players use mostly these words in their poem, Yuri will like it. However, using all of them will constitute a ‘Perfect’ poem for Yuri. In contrast, using mainly words that Natsuki likes (more of the sweeter, upbeat words) will create a poem Yuri will dislike.
Players can find a list of every girl's favorite words through the game files themselves. By opening the game files, opening the “game” folder, then opening the text file called “poemwords.txt”, players will be able to see a list of Sayori’s, Natsuki’s, and Yuri’s favorite poem words. Doing this will make it easy to tailor poems for whichever girl players like most.
Writing a poem with exclusively words that Yuri likes will earn players the achievement “Perfect! Yuri”. Writing poems for her and choosing the right dialogue options will let players go down Yuri’s game route, so players who love the shyest member of the Literature Club should make sure they’re writing a poem she’ll enjoy!
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Switch.
