Doki-Doki Literature Club - Adult Visual Novel [18+]

Dude kinda spoils the entire game with thumbnails like that.
 
Meh. It was creepy enough that I don’t feel like I completely wasted my time, but not more than that. I guess you do need to be a fan of the anime novel genre to get the most out of this game.
 
I like the game. Anything that tries to use spoopy shit to break the fourth wall is good in my book. Too bad it was all ruined by a bunch of autistic assholes that couldn't just let people experience it for themselves.

. It's hardly 999 or Ghost Trick tier.

The funny thing is the 999 director is in Japan more known for Ever17 than Zero Escape.
In short for anyone who doesn't read it(I remember it was somewhat big in mid 00s before danganronpa and 999 become the cool VN), it was about 2 guys and 5 girl locked in a underwater park and they have 6 day to escape or they will die.
Ever17 isn't a horror game but pacing in both VN are horrible and while I was playing doki doki some points make me remember Ever17.In the end it make me feels if he read ever17(and the crooked man but that was obvious).
Anyway, the explicit horror in doki doki doki was meh to decent (only make me stop playing a Yuri shit in the night moment), but still the female character are solid (except Yuri) and the more important thing, the author work hard in the game(and he make a VN and not a walking sim)
 
I really enjoyed it personally.

All I heard about it initially was that it started out cliche at first but then it kinda delved into mental illness. I thought, "So, it's kinda like Katawa Shoujo? I'm game."

Turned out I was wrong. Very wrong.

I knew something was off about Monika when she talked about how a joke towards her wouldn't work well in translation and the other girls gave her weird looks. But what made me realize something was clearly wrong was prior to Sayori killing herself, she mentioned something about Monika being "right about her".

I felt really bad about the whole thing as I was hanging out with Yuri the most and it was clearly effecting Sayori. Part of me knew something like this might happen if I'm not careful, but I was hoping to prevent it somehow.

So after that, I started a "new game". I tried to go for Yuri again even though deep down I knew it was a horrible idea. Monika did everything she could to try to stop me, but I didn't listen. I was really curious at how far I can push this game.

Eventually it got the point where I decided that I felt I was going to far and shot down Yuri's confession. She killed herself. I can't say I was shocked by this point, but I was pretty sad it had to come to that.

Then the whole thing with Monika completely destroying the fourth wall happened. When given the "choice" of going out with her or not, I tried exiting the game. Turned out that didn't work, so I chose yes. She told me what exactly she did to the characters, and thankfully, due to me getting experienced with installing mods for the Stalker games, I immediately figured out what to do and did the exact same thing to her.

Things seemed to be back to normal, (but without Monkia) only for Sayori to freak out as well. Monika came back, broke everything, made me watch the credits, and now the game won't play again unless I re-install.

So yeah, I enjoyed it overall. Apparently there's a way to get the "best ending". But I don't know if I'll get around to that.

All I can say is that this is definitely a game you need to play with as little spoilers as possible. It's like Undertale in that it relies on a player not knowing what they're going to get, and if the surprise is ruined, the game loses A LOT of its impact. Kind of a shame, as the internet THRIVES off of this kind of stuff and likes to post spoilers and memes about it everywhere.

Hell, before I even got to play the game, the Steam news section kinda gave away what I was getting into by giving me a link to an article calling it a "hidden horror game". Thankfully it didn't give away too much, but seriously?

Basically you have to unlock all the special scene images. So save near the beginning play through up to just before the suicide favoring one girl only, then go back and play through again favoring a different girl. Once you’ve favored all three and seen their special cutaway scenes, then play the game as normal.

Also, Monika has some interesting dialogue if you talk to her for a while before deleting her.
 
I appreciate this game for what it was trying to do, but I felt like it had some pretty major pacing issues. First half moved too slowly while the second half moved waaay too fast. I also wish it stayed more subtle with its horror instead of devolving into "my eyes are bleeding uguu" the second the meta elements were introduced. Dug the soundtrack and all its variants, though. Kinda interested to see what else the developer puts out.

"It's just a game" is always in the forefront of my mind, when playing games. However, when she states, "In the meantime, we can just look into each other's eyes~" it gave me a small epiphany.

What if you were actually stuck in eternity with something like her? How would you even cope with it? To me, that was the "scariest" feeling the game gave me.
 
I honest to god hope this game's fandom doesn't become as horrendous as the Undertale fandom, I just finally played through most of the game and it would be the worst fucking timing ever.

I'm thinking of downloading this game and the frisson of terror that came from reading this post made me pause, slightly....
 
Good game, enjoyed it myself, only knew it was popular and little else.

Replayed it for good ending, might attempt a speedrun.
 
some creepazoid I friended online for some reason keeps comparing me to Yuri in a misguided effort to compliment my appearance and I can't even work out if he's memeing or just into some weird shit
