yuri.chr 

Something really sad that I realised. That girl visited her a week before she killed her. Linda stopped researching suicide a week ago. The girl's visit restored linda's will to live, but than the same girl killed her.

what's scary about this is that it seems so...thought out.

It's spooky about how a whole character file contains a whole story when you look deep into it.

I love how Dan put his creepypasta in Yuri's character file, I actually really like reading it

Is it weird that I literally just listened to this like it was an audible book?

I read this creepypasta YEARS before Doki Doki came out. Actually believed it was real before this.

I like how the natsuki.chr picture slowly fades in

Note to self: Never trust dog walker's

I thought this was going be one of those meme videos, I was a tad disappointed when I clicked but I didn't leave disappointed.

I think a really nice touch with this story, is how the girl denies that she is crazy, psychotic, or delusional. I feel that a lot of stories like this, lose their appeal when the main character boasts about how insane they are. Because in reality, that often would not be the case. In reality, most people who are disturbed, will deny it just like the girl in the story. Their delusions become their default state of mind so they see it as, "normal". It is their reality as they see it, so therefore, they see their actions, -- even something as awful as "killing for no reason" -- as justified.

I really like the way you read this. The way you narrated it reminded me more of Monika rather than Yuri. I guess it's because your calm delivery is more similar to how Monika talks despite all the horrors around her, if that makes sense. Anyways your reading of this was great.

after the video finished, I silently paused for a minute and then just muttered... "wow."

Happy Birthday Linda :(

please be yuri's voice actor

You have a great speaking voice :D

I feel somewhat uncomfortable...... and it feels ok...

I wonder if she got ever arrested. She did some clever steps not to be. Also your voice is nice. It's nice listening to it.

The way the picture appears on the box was just timed perfectly good job Edit: this is the most likes I have ever gotten... I feel so loved thank you

I wonder if this creepypasta that Dan made will become canon in the future in some game.. Also, thank you very much for giving life to those texts, you're incredible ❤

"Not just kill her but dissect her" Wow that's messed up.

I like how you voiced this!!! I like that it gets sort of frantic during the murder scene

This is easily refer as creepypasta

This is insane, I feel crazy for listening to this

I looked it up, Linda Watson was a depressed lady that was murdered

18:23 is the story hinting that the lady decided to not kill herself after she was visited by the student? Thats what I'm getting from that

oh god this is great and creepy at the same time and your voice is so fitting for this

oH GOD. God, this is super creepy. In 9:57, she states about her illnesses such as arthritis and depression. My mother has both, and she's passed both to me. I don't want kids because of that reason. I'm so freaked out. Really good job on the narration!

Ah man, I cant feel my toes! *looks down* I DON'T HAVE ANY TOES!! I think i need a hug.

*insert disturbed sr pelo face here*

woah. That's just scary Your voice fit our protagonist perfectly.

The thing about the end, the "one week into her search history" got me the first time, and this time as well. I can't help but get a feeling that it was the mc of the creepypasta that convinced linda to stay alive by going over to her house for a talk. Suicidal idealization is weird like that-the smallest things can change your will to live when you suffer for it. "I can't feed Fido if I die," "They need me at work," "Maybe I can help that college kid find her dog."

Real or not, I think it's safe to say that this person is, in fact, a psychopath and she doesn't know/accept it. Anyways, I think Dan is a really talented person, both in storytelling, and, even though it's unrelated to this story in particular, in music making. I think this story is pretty much confirming his talent in storytelling!

I've been rewatching this again and again because the story is so good and whoever is reading it aloud has a good storytelling voice.

Imagining Yuri talking while listening this....

Fun fact: the box in the picture is real. I actually own it, but I painted it. On my 7th birthday, I had a party at a Crafting store(Arts and Crafts, can't remember the actual name of the store) and we bought a bunch of wooden boxes to paint. I was the only one with a Box with a Heart. I still have it but the lock broke. I use it to store extra batteries for the L.E.D. Lights in my room.

Umm... It is 02:00 am and i have just finished watched a Finding Paradise playthrough. I thought i am going to sleep...so yeaaaa............. . . . . . . 😓 help me

Your voice was perfectly fit to tell this story, considering it is innocent but yet fits the story making it a little creepy.

Even though this is just a creepypasta, it reminds me of the importance of locking my door and wearing rings.

Your a good voice actor An Extremely Agitated Hedgehog and you really have a very nice voice

Wow. JUST WOW. I CAN'T FEEL MY TOES.

I watched this during free time in school and a bunch of my other classmates came to listen as well, and boy, they're not gonna sleep easy tonight XD also your voice is beautiful, it's kind of a wonder if you do other voice acting on other videos from other channels

The comment section is full of DDLC memes and unfunny trash, but this story (real or not) was really captivating, and your narration made it really captivating as well! Good job! :3 I honestly wouldn't have read this on my own.

Elyssa..

This is sooooo good, oh my god. You voiced this perfectly! I'm definitely subscribing. Well done.

Yuri ain't going back to school she going to jail!

When I first read through this I was like ‘holy shit Yuri murdered someone’ and to be honest it doesn’t seem too out of character for her though.

honest to god, this is now my favorite story and the way you narrated it was amazing !!

I wonder if this creepypasta could potentially be Dan giving his opinion on the current media, and how if someone found out about this death that they would want to kill for no reason. Death has now become kinda accepted by a lot of people in a form of media, such as films and tv shows.So when we even get told that the girl uses an axe to kill, which she mentions as cliche, this means she would have to have knowledge of some films or tv shows(or anything else which could spark curiosity) which involve death, which therefore could have led her curiosity. Either way, you read this really well and well done to Dan for writing an engaging short story!

Am I the only one who appreciates the face on the heart on the box slowly getting more clear, at the same time this character got less sane?

How can a story so big fit in a tiny box...

This has been in my recommended for too long Edit: I was not disappointed thank you.

i absolutely adore this story, i don't think i've ever stopped thinking about since i first heard it a few years ago, and your telling of it certainly makes it more memorable

Dan Salvato should write a book

I like the story very much and the story is very fascinating

I'm shook. The narration was amazing!!! Also,,, am I hallucinating or is there actually a woman's face on the heart piece of the box? She kind of looks like the girl from Yuri's character file too. Has this game driven me to insanity? probably.

If this is Yuri and she's 19 in the story, and Dan Salvato said Yuri's 18 years old (as well as everyone else). Does that mean this happened after Doki Doki?

I read the story as soon as I knew about it on the game , and quite honestly , didn't feel scared or even unnerved (only a bit in the actual killing part) , but in this video....and with Libitina's picture becoming more and more clear until I realized that SOMETHING was going to happen (and wasn't wrong) Jeez , girl I so love it

*spoilers* What if Linda is natsuki's mother and her parents were divorced and when she died natsuki's father got really aggressive and started hitting her and natsuki,following her mother's footsteps , got into cooking .

"The axe was a physical extention of my sense of touch... WENDY'S NEW DOUBLE STACK BURGER IS BACK!!!"

It's creepy because I have actually had a curiosity for killing someone so this was not as scary to read??

Every time I have a snow day, I have made a tradition for myself to listen to this story, since the first time I listened to it was a snow day. I really love the character you gave the narrator. It’s such a simple story but you put so much life into it. Thank you.

YURI IS REAL

Jesus Christ this story is dark

i thought something bad was going to come out of the little box, but nope. my predictions were off. only a random woman. v v v v v v wtf. im sad now. #HorriblePredictions

Wonderful narration! I love how generally calm you were throughout; it emphasized the lack of conscience she seemed to have very well, I'd say. Really brought the story to life! Keep up the great work!

I was crafting while listening to this and honestly your voice is so soothing and it fits the character so well oml

I cannot express how much I love this video. I'm sorry if this sounds like a jumbled word mess but I had to comment. I saw this video two-ish years ago and I didn't think much of it other than that it was one of the many fun ddlc secrets you have to decode stuff to get to. When I heard it at first, I was fascinated with the short story, thought it was nice that a channel on RU-vid had done an audio version of it and then promptly forgot it existed. A year or so later, I saw the video recommended to me again, as ddlc was one of those things I'd lose interest in and gain that interest back some period of time later, lose it again, gain it again and so on. This was one of those time periods where I had a bit of a ddlc renaissance, watched some people playing the wacky mods, and for the first time, read the fanfiction surrounding it. So, I clicked on the video to get a bit of that sense of nostalgia back and then, again, forget about it. But as I heard the first few lines, I immediately remembered that the story was sinister in some way. I just couldn't put my foot on it. Maybe I was mixing it up with one of the fanfictions I had read or something? Either way, I found myself glued to the screen, as the video continued, not only noticing the Libitina character slowly fading in as the story progressed, but also the skill and talent of the narrator. Whatever tactics she employed to make the main character sound so normal, almost like she was having a casual conversation with you, worked really well. She didn't sound unhinged or crazy or evil in any way, yet she had a kind of casual normalcy that's almost menacing when you consider the game this is related to and, of course, the context. I know I should be thanking Dan Salvato for writing this story (and of course ddlc and the community that surrounds it, as it wouldn't exist without him), but I can't help but thank this channel for uploading it as I never would have gone to look it up afterwards. This was around the time when I was starting an orator's club (orator's club in my language just means public speaking club) in my own high school and hearing this again was one of the catalysts that made me choose to read horror stories in the club too, so I could train myself and others in the art of suspenseful reading and other stuff I won't get into for the sake of brevity. On a side note, I know that the game centering around a literature club and writing, and then me starting an orator's club is an interesting coincidence but it's just a coincidence and not really related to the literature club of the game, since I had always wanted to start a club like that I just never had the courage to do so until a year and a half ago. Anyway, this video encouraged me to go looking for the original story and having found it and saved it, I now reread it quite a lot when I'm practicing for specific speeches or pieces I have to perform. It's like a poem or a story you keep going back to because, in some weird way, it impacted you. Like, other works I go back to is Shakespeare's sonnet Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day? and The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, The More Loving One by W. H. Auden and so on. None of these have anything in common, just that I could imagine them being performed in front of an audience and getting a reaction out of them. I think, with this one specifically, the idea of this seemingly normal 19-year-old girl who's going into occupational therapy, lives in a dorm room, has a roommate, a family and a car and any ordinary thing you could need, wanting to murder someone for no specific reason other than the experience she would gain from it just really sat with me. I always remember the moment when she's choosing a method with which to kill Linda and she ends up choosing the "fun" option (the axe) rather than the quick one, as she believes it's such a movies thing to do and she only gets to do this once. The car ride where she's wondering what the actual serial killers must be thinking in the moment, whether it would be sexual build up or delusions or something, but her just feeling inconvenient chills. The apathy with which she regards the whole thing is also a bit frightening. It almost made me feel like I was watching a movie or I was having a VR experience of the steps she took to commit the murder, and I was having those same thoughts with her. Except instead of thinking wow she's crazy and I'm scared of her and so on, it felt like I was sympathizing with her. It wasn't because her personality was likable or she had good intentions or anything like that, but rather because I was imagining that all of this was real, that it was normal to wonder what it would be like to kill someone and that someone would actually casually go along with it. I was happy with her choice to use the axe because, as she said, it is more of a movies thing and I wanted to see what would happen with it, more than I wanted to see a simpler, cleaner murder. I found it ironic that she thought about what some crazy murderer would be thinking in her position, without her realizing exactly what she's doing and how she herself is a kind of crazed murderer (despite her facade of complete sanity), yet I was thinking the same thoughts as her: what would an actual crazed murderer be thinking in those moments? The key word being "actual", as both the story and the narrator's delivery were so good that you really do think she's just a normal relatable girl, she's not an "actual" murderer, she's not actually crazy or whatever. That would make it harder to put myself in her position. She's normal but just, y'know, doing this one not normal thing. It was frightening how safe I felt knowing she didn't want to murder again and it showed that I still saw her as threatening and scary, as unhinged enough to cause serious damage, yet every time I listen to the story, I root for her anyway. As though anything in this story is supposed to make you feel safe or happy or curious. The fact that she likely won't face any persecution makes this even more, I guess, easy to relate to? Like, of course if you'd imagine yourself as a murderer then you'd like to imagine you wouldn't get caught. My main point being that this video brought this story to life for me, and shows how much a good delivery helps bringing stories to life in general. It inspired me a lot when it came to my public speaking club, even if it had to shut down because of the pandemic. I know this might be a bit off-topic, but that's why GTLive had, in my opinion, a very successful interpretation of ddlc. Stephanie, one of the hosts of GTLive, has excellent voice acting skills and incredible control over her voice. She voiced Yuri, Sayori, and Monika within their let's play of the game and she did an excellent job with each (although Sayori seems to be her fan favorite voice within the game). But I want to focus on Monika, when I think of Sayori or Yuri, I think of them having different voices than the ones she employed for them. But when I think of Monika, Stephanie's voice comes to mind immediately. I think that's because her voice for Monika was so normal, yet calm and collected, quite poised, a bit sophisticated but not as sultry or unique as Yuri's, even when Monika laughs she laughs a mature, calm laugh befitting of an older or wiser woman who already knows everything, and she always has a slightly intimidating atmosphere as she's thought to be too perfect and unattainable. That tangent aside, the reason I wanted to talk about it is because I realize that while this story was in Yuri's character file, I was imagining Monika writing it. I was imagining that the narrator was Monika and that Monika had committed this murder in the same cold-blooded nonchalant way she deleted the other characters in the game. I don't know why I brought up this specific point, only to point out that Stephanie's performance of Monika left such a mark on me that that's probably one of the only reasons I imagined the narrator as Monika, even though the very video has Yuri's name on it and Libitina's picture fading in. And because I imagined Monika's actions to be, while immoral, ultimately justified considering how she was the only sentient character within the game, I felt I would have done the same things if I were in her position and when I imagine her doing something else immoral, as I imagined her being the one to write this, and not Yuri, I felt more sympathetic to the story and I could imagine myself performing it. The performance of both Stephanie and now this video's narrator really shaped my opinions on Monika. It goes to show how a performance of a work can leave such a lasting impression that it encourages you to interpret the work or other works related to it in a certain way and through that it gets you to latch on to a certain piece of media you otherwise wouldn't have had as strong feelings for. Again, I'd like to apologize for leaving such a large comment, I had so many thoughts and I realized I should get them over with already so here you go. I wanted to thank the channel for this video, which might seem like just a 20min vid of a girl reading a story, but impacted me quite a lot.

I played this in the car on my way to my college classes. Not disappointed, actually made me write my own creative writing letter thingy. I love this and your voice is gorgeous!

this has been on my suggested videos thing for a while edit: this is truly the most interesting video on youtube

Wait..so....... IS THAT GIRL REAL OR IS IT JUST YURI???

I've listened to this video when it was only a few months old, and I've literally never stopped thinking about it. I've come back to listen again, because this story is just so captivating.

This was really well done, so thank you for this. I'm not sure if it was how perfectly you read it or the story itself or just a perfect combination of the two, but I actually felt uneasy, curious and sick all at the same time while and after watching this video.

Gained a new subscriber! Your voice is so sweet and it isn't annoying! Love this channel.

Why do I find this story creepier than most creepypastas?

You have a voice that pulls me in. I am not really a fan of creepypasta reading much, but the few times I considered clicking off, I couldn't do it because I was enthralled to keep listening to your vocal range, and odd calmness as you read. I honestly would love to hear more things like this from you.

Just finished this during my business class! Was a really good read I enjoy how you made the character feel so calm yet slightly unhinged in a way. One thing I have though is that on certain parts you would speed up suddenly on the ends of sentences then slow back down. But man overall this was really good!❤️

Just a reminder to everyone: Dan said that he wrote the story a couple years ago and thought it would be fun to include as an Easter egg. (Meaning it's probably not canon, let alone about Yuri) Here's where he said that: mobile.twitter.com/dansalvato/status/911627120132055040

Notice how at the heart on top of the box was elyssas face?

JESUS!! What a phyco!! Yet fascinating!! Holy crap!! You did a really good job of reading this!

This story is very well written! Dan did a good job! Of course, your clean narration elevates it too! I like how subtle you are, you don’t try to hard to sound evil, you sound like a normal girl, just how the killer sees herself.

WHY DO I SEE A FACE UN THE HEART?!?!?

This is Yuri's character file, yes? Oh my fucking god this makes so much sense now that I think about it.

This story was exactly what I needed to get through my business class! Thanks a bunch for reading this and I hope that you upload more stuff like this. Subscribed! 💟

i come back to listen to this often, something about it is eerily calming ^^;

So I'm deciding if this story is true or not :/ I'm pretty gullible as is. I'm about 92% sure this was made up though I feel like really stupid right now because people in the comment section are saying things like "Dan Salvato is an actual genius" and "I wonder if this creepypasta that Dan made will become canon in the future in some game" And so part of what makes me think this is fake is that this teenager happened to get a woman that meets her as a total stranger and then invites her into her house and doesn't give a crap that she's using her bathroom that's filled with duloxetine bottles. This teenager also doesn't mention she has a mental condition at all but literally for the curiosity, she's going to kill somebody. It's hard to believe somebody that has their sanity still and a clean record decides to murder without seeming to care that she'll obviously get arrested. I don't know if she's unaware of the fact that she left the body in the apartment and fingerprints are all over the body and eventually she's going to get an eviction notice on her door and lose her house for not paying her bills because she's dead. That body will literally still be there, rotting, with the evidence that this teenager killed her. Just something I wanted to point out ;-; Despite that, this story is pretty interesting. I do feel a little bit like a psychopath if I'm gonna be honest, but I do feel a little sad that she violently killed a woman that was living her life still pretty young and that was nice enough to invite a stranger into her house and talk to them. It's nice to see that this woman was innocently cooking a meal for herself on her birthday, but my thought about her being so sweet and innocent changed when she started browsing through her history and saw porn sites. It's understandable that she had suicidal history websites if she clearly had depression, and it makes me feel better about the girl killing the woman if she was probably gonna end up killing herself anyway. So that's all I have to say about that T_T took a really long time to write this lol i bet nobody's gonna see this anyway so whatever man

bootiful.

your voice fits so perfectly i have listened to this 4 times already and this is so PERFECT!

The image fading onto the heart of the box. Nice job.

Linda -is- *was* ...

Anyone else see the person on the heart appear at like 4:04

You did really good at reading and your voice some how fits the story just right. Good job!

Me coming back 3 years later to get more ptsd Seriously though this is amazing and your voice really works with it too you sound so nice and someone you would feel safe with but that’s clearly the opposite you did a great job!

Anyone 2018?

I forgot that I share the same birthday as the one who is killed in this story. Spooked me when I heard it again. Feels like nothing to someone who doesn't share the same birthday, but its a sudden shock that pulled me in just a bit more than it already had.

I’m sorry but oh my gosh the heart is off center of the box and my perfectionism is kicking in

Love the way the narrator reads it ahh so good.

No one dislikes your voice

I think it would be amazing if you dubbed Deleting Monika. Or would that be the finale of Monika Mondays?

This is such a messed up story. Like i feel like im watching a movie in my head and the descriptions are so good the it gave me chills.

I absolutely love this!
