………… This isn’t what it looks like, I swear……… Okay, so maybe it is what it looks like, but trust me, this is in fact a horror game. Let me repeat that. This is, in fact, a horror game, a psychological horror game, that screws with Du emotionally and mentally, and tricks Du Von being something else… So does that mean I can review Doki Doki Literature Club without making myself look less anti-social.
…… Let me repeat myself, this is a horror game. Also, THIS ENTIRE Artikel IS A SPOILER FOR DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB! DO NOT READ THIS Artikel IF Du PLAN ON Lesen THIS GAME! Now, I had no intentions of playing this game previously, because I don’t like dating sims. I find them dull, boring, and horribly cliched, plus romance is something I was never a big Fan of… yeah, a horror fan, who doesn’t like romance. The two go so well together. There are some interesting ones out there, like Huniepop, which I think people played for porn, oder Hatoful Boyfriend, which people played to get reactions of, oder the greatest dating sim of our generation and probably of all time, Dream Daddy, but aside from a few, I never had any intentions of playing this game… And then I was told the game was free. Look, anything that is free is either going to be something interesting oder something terrible. Perfect for my series. So, I downloaded Doki Doki Literature Club… and it was so much better than I ever could have expected. Doki Doki Literature Club follows the player character, named whatever Du please, joining the school’s Literature Club, consisting of four other members. Childhood friend Sayori, snide, oder as weebs say, tsundere, Natsuki, the shy Yuri, and the club president, Monkia. Du have a choice of interacting with either Sayori, Natsuki, oder Yuri, but Monika. I’m sure that she was a garbage character anyway. But the game makes it very clear that Du should make multiple saves and see all of the routes of the girls. Hmm, how interesting.
Let me get this out of the way for horror fans. This is a slow game. And I do mean a slow game. Du have to get through the entirety of the first act before Du start to witness some of the horror of this game. That time will be spent talking to the girls in the Literature Club, Schreiben a poem depending on the words Du select, trying to get one of the girls to like you, and watching all of their scenes. It is a rather slow start, and for someone who is not a big Fan of dating sims, this first act was truly the worst part of the game for me. But now, it works pretty well. It gives Du a false sense of security, makes Du feel like this is a warm and happy game before it comes and hits Du with some of the worst things it can do. Du do start to see the horror slowly creep in when Sayori tells Du that she is suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts. And it isn’t until the end of the first act where the game finally begins to get scary, and gets so much better… oder worse, depending on how Du look at it. After Sayori hangs herself, the game tells Du that it is The End and puts Du back at the Titel screen, only now, Sayori is a mass of glitchy material, and starting the game puts Du back to the beginning, with Sayori being gone from the game entirely. Now why did this happen, and what caused this to happen? Well, who cares? Write poems!
In the Sekunde act, things get far Mehr disturbing. Glitches appear at random, Yuri begins to Zeigen her unstable and suicidal self, with cuts on her wrists and her want to be with the player’s character, to Natsuki, Wird angezeigt far Mehr concern, while at times letting out strange comments, some involving her abusive father. Despite it all, Monika is still smiling away, and seems fine. Now why is that? But that isn’t all that happens, as the game even throws in some Mehr disturbing things, like text changing to Mehr disturbing words, realistic eyes popping in on characters faces, which, while it can look silly and practical, it manages to be Mehr disturbing than anything, and some of the most out of nowhere scares that the game can throw at you. These scares do not hold back. They come at Du out of nowhere and will freak Du out if Du are not careful. Doki Doki Literature Club doesn’t try to use jump scares. Instead, it leaves an image on the screen, and makes Du look at it. It makes Du stare at the image on the screen, and does what it can to make Du uncomfortable. It’s like hearing a drill in a dentist office. No screaming from a kid and no blood. Just the sound of a drill. It may not be threatening to you, but the sound makes Du squirm in your chair. That’s what Doki Doki Literature Club does. It makes Du feel uncomfortable with every scare it uses. And I Liebe it so much. But then there’s the third and final act. Something people have called Just Monika.
Monika, as I stated before, is the only one who doesn’t glitch out, who doesn’t have corrupted text, and seems to pass everything off as nothing. This is because Monkia is responsible for what happens. Monkia knows that this is a video game, and with that in mind, she messes with the game files and deletes characters, oder increases their worst traits about them and brings it out for them to see to the player so that he could be Mehr interested in Monkia. And this is because Monika is in Liebe with the player. Not the player’s character that they named in the real world. The player themself. She knows that Du are playing a game, and will call Du Von your real name and will tell Du that Du shouldn’t worry about the other girls, because they were never real and that they never existed. At this point in the game, Du are placed in a room, a void like place with Monika, who now only talks to Du about many things. And unlike other games where the text would loop until Du do something else, it is like Monika had a massive amount of text that would go on forever. Some of the things she will talk about are how religion is a strange thing, what it feels like to die, ask if Du are suffering from depression, oder discuss what people want to do with their lives. The things she talks about give off a very philosophical thing. It doesn’t feel like the game is trying too hard. It gives a point, and makes the player think of things that they wouldn’t. She also seems to mention that she has a Twitter account. A real Twitter account that Du can go to, called lilmonix3. She also seems to know if Du are streaming oder not, and jump scares Du and the audience watching. Monika manages to be one of the most disturbing characters in a game just from her disturbing personality and her psychological points. And she’s only a fucking Anime high school character. If that can scare me, than Du deserve all of the praise Du get.
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of the best horror games of this year, in my opinion. It manages to lure Du in with false feelings and trick Du with some of the most uncomfortable and disturbing atmosphere I have seen in any video game of Kürzlich years. Doki Doki Literature Club was met with immediate praise, with everyone wanting to play this game and see what it was all about, and then they all had their hopes and dreams crushed from the depression and horror that this game has. And in typical classic horror game fashion, it manages to have multiple endings. My Favorit is if Du Löschen Monika’s file before starting the game… Oh yeah, in this game, Du can Löschen files and see what happens. If Du do, Du change the game completely. I wish it was done more, instead of giving Du a bonus ending, but aside from that, it really works well. I won’t spoil anymore about the game, especially the endings (Except my favorite, since I need an ending image), so I will let Du play the game yourself. It’s on Steam and it is for FREE! Go get it. And then buy the special pack because this developer deserves money. Take care.
