It works to show Sayori's reaction to the stuff they say and how almost everything ends up being hurtful in some way, but it would have been much better to verbatim-copy less of the original game. It's a big suboptimality that most of the clubroom scenes from the original were copy-pasted in with little or no changes except the addition of a few interspersed thoughts by Sayori who apparently follows MC around and eavesdrops on all his conversations. A VN without choices is fine, but a VN that gives you choices and gives you the impression that it's going to matter only to reveal that all the options transpose fully in just a few lines is a little annoying. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone interested in DDLC mods. It does a good job portraying her depression, unlike some other mods ( cough Exit Music cough We Are The Literature Club cough), and contains no egregious failures. Doki Doki Rainclouds is a Doki Doki Literature Club mod that explores Act 1 from Sayori's perspective.
