Unlocking cute pictures in Doki Doki Doki Literature Club Plus sounds like traditional dating sim/visual novel fodder, but getting them requires players to take multiple trips down the title's psychological horror moments.
There are 113 pictures to unlock in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, and doing so requires players to engage with side stories, multiple endings, and make certain choices during the limited gameplay moments. Fortunately, the game has a skip button that speeds up the process of collecting 100% data, and all pictures carry over between multiple playthroughs. Whether it's for the Breakthrough Trophy or Achievement, or the chance to view all the artwork, this guide details how to get all pictures in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.

Most Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Achievements and Trophies are easy to get, but for the Breakthrough Trophy or Achievement, unlocking and playing the song 'Candy Heartz' is needed on top of collecting all of the pictures. To do this, play the song 'Candy Hearts' until the more creepy 'Candy Heartz' song unlocks. Play this new track and then check the side quests menu to launch 'Test VM'. However, this is currently bugged for console users, and only PC players can unlock 'Test VM'. The PC version received a patch to fix the bug, so a console update should hopefully arrive soon.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
