If you found an opportunity to do this, it would be amazing. I'd love to see Monika in a game, handled by a player who wants to explore all the potential weirdness that her viewpoint and canon would provide in putting her in an rp setting.
yeah it'd be a very unique thing to play out. obvs a lot depends on whatever the actual setting of the game is, but seeing as a lot of dwrp games are larger-than-life in their own right, it wouldn't be surprising if her in-game worst-case scenario downward spiral involved starting to suspect that this isn't really the "real world" she's been dreaming of all this time either, and is just some kind of other different "game" where strings are being pulled by some other force beyond--again--and she's just can't perceive the string-pulling this time, which is almost worse in its own way. (this would also be appropriately accurately meta in its own right, har har canon consistency)
and even if she doesn't get that bad there's also the ongoing existential crisis of being essentially a computer program who can never be anything more, even in this "real world", no matter how hard she tries to hide her robotness. cue maybe trying to get closer and closer to being "human" via upgrades if the game allows it or something, uncanny valley side-effects likely. trying to cope with that shit in general's bound to be interesting
tbh all this is infinitely more appealing to ,e than trying to launch a ship with her at some point in-game (and she'll probably be holding a torch for ddlc's mc for some time anyhow lbr), but ngl if she ended up falling for some poor unsuspecting sap her age and started getting very alarming about it that'd just be more frosting on the weirdness pie. (with extensive discussion and go-ahead from the other player ofc). so many possibilities, so little time...but i hope one day i can pull it off too anon
Echoing your sentiments here, I'd love to play a character from DDLC. I'd crossed off Monika cos I felt like she's way above my skill level, and sadly Natsuki and Yuri don't get to remember things through cycles otherwise it'd be amazing to play them with their memories of the various events intact. Which leaves me with Sayori.
But I still have the same trouble with Sayori were she would remember the game and be aware of her existence as a character, and I'd kind of want her to still have some meta awareness of the game she's in. Not tot he degree of 'I know about the upcoming events' or to infomod, but just that she knows Something's Up and that this isn't reality, although it'd be a massively different reality to her previous one. So then it'd become 'how do I function in this place where my life isn't defined by being romanced with someone' and it'd be a mess but a good mess. But also way too much for me to compute.
That and I'd want to play from the 'good'/bittersweet ending because I'm a sap.
