You will see Doki Doki Literature Club Right-click on the game and go to properties Select Local Files and Click on “Browse Local Files” Go to Characters and Delete the Monika Folder Come back to the game. But Doki Doki Literature Club hides all of its horror behind a first arc that's purposefully generic, vapid and devoid of any original ideas. A first arc that uses the same boring, cutesy tropes we've seen time and time again in anime and visual novels alike, tropes that are comfortable, safe, and not just because they fear to stray too far.
I am having the same problem, though I'm not sure about the task manager one. Every time I open the game it'll load but then stop, and nothing opens and I tried everything, uninstalling it and reinstalling it uninstalled steam and reinstalled it, to just copying and pasting the _renpysteam into 'Renpy' folders that was already on it but still nothing

Edit: Ok I finally figured it out, if you have a Windows and have played other steam games go to Windows C/Program files(x86)/Steam there search the file _renpysteam, there should be two of them, a .so file and a .pyd file, copy and paste them (ITS MANDITORY FOR BOTH THE .so AND THE .pyd FILES) into the common folder, (Windows C/Program files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/doki doki literature club/renpy/common) if it doesn't work go to task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) click more options and it will bring you to a list of software that opens up after a restart, you wanna click end task on a few of them, after like 3 or 5 it should work, if it doesn't or you have a mac then idk
