    Uma história genérica com personagens chatos e ruins, com relacionamentos mal aprofundados e que só é conhecido por causa da reta final, que também não é bom. Um verdadeiro saco.

    Too many teenagers are influenced by this game to go suicidal. Not to mention 75% of the time you're just reading text.

    Simply put, this game has weak characters and no story. It's a visual novel, it's supposed to at least have a good story, right? Well, this VN doesn't.

The story ends, you can't make any real choices and you're supposed to enjoy the boring "weird" stuff that's left. It's like the game hates you and wants you to hate it back (which I do now).

It is almost impossible to explain why without revealing anything about the story, so I will simply say that the narrative resources used in Doki Doki Literature Club! are very wisely managed, in such a way that everything fits at the end of the game.

Так продолжается до переломного момента, который ввергает в ужас, ведь максимально контрастирует с прошедшей "целомудренной" половиной. Далее начинается хоррор бэд-трип с крепкой атмосферой и интригой.
    К концу перед игроком всё раскрывается и в итоге игра удаляет саму себя. "Доки доки" своей формой хорошо передаёт палитру страданий, депрессии, неудовлетворённости. По содержанию же, это, пожалуй, разговор о любви и о том, что любовью не является. Неумение отличить любовь от привязанности или дружбы, а то и пагубной зависимости; невозможность пересилить себя, чтобы отпустить того, кого ты любишь. Мне выпала концовка, в которой Моника удаляет всю игру, по сути, сознаваясь в том, что она не любит героя (меня), ведь готова уничтожить всё, даже себя, чтобы не чувствовать страдание. Это вызывает одновременно и сочувствие и неприязнь, но... Здесь уж вступают в силу философичные рассуждения: что такое любовь, как пережить пик страдания - уничтожить всё? Стоит ещё порассуждать о том, что игра-то знает, что она игра, но это всё равно, как всегда, рассуждение о человеке. И конец - он как приговор: мы, люди, не умеем любить, не вторгаясь в автономию другого человека, руководствуясь при этом политикой физического и эмоционального захвата; мы скорее всё уничтожим, весь мир, чтобы избежать собственного страдания, была бы только возможность.
    Ладно уж, ладно. Есть ещё о чём поговорить, но основное я сказал. Упомяну ещё интересную фишку, которую я раньше никогда не встречал - она меня очень-очень удивила: чтобы продвигаться дальше по сюжету, нужно будет покопаться в папке с файлами игры. Пускай этому уделяешь всего с минуту, но этот выход за рамки - в папку с файлами - произвёл на меня впечатление.

    (스포일러)

    미연시라는 장르의 자기 패러디다. 뻔하고 공식화된 캐릭터들과 스토리 전개가 결국 전부 패러디를 위한 장치었음을 뒤늦게 깨닫는다. 그래서 로맨스 대사들은 심히 유치하고 오글거리지만, 제대로 쓴 대사들과 시는 소름 끼치게 깊다. 게임이 막바지에 네번째 벽을 넘는데 그 방식이 독창적이다. 그리고 얼핏 보기엔 대충 만든 저예산 게임같지만 곳곳에 숨겨진 복선들과 이스터에그가 꽤 창의적이다. 완성도 높은 게임이라고 생각하진 않지만 상당히 참신한 실험이다.

    그런데 아무리 미연시라지만 오글거리는 대사를 조금만 더 현실적이게 써줬다면 캐릭터가 얼마나 더 공감됐을까. 미연시나 비주얼 노벨이 취향인 사람은 별 문제 없겠지만 그게 아닌 사람에겐 반전이 드러나기까지의 과정이 너무 지루하다. (단순히 소설을 읽는 것과도 다른 게, 이런 비주얼 노벨은 일반적인 소설에서 간단히 묘사하거나 생략할 상황까지 전부 대화록으로 장황하게 처리한다. 미연시와 야동에만 존재하는 멍청하고 순종적인 소녀들은 덤.) 그리고 게임의 길이를 조금만 단축했어도 패러디가 충분하지 않았을까 싶다. 본격적으로 분위기를 반전시킨 Act 2부터라도 조금 단축해서 긴장을 좀 더 빠르게 고조시켰다면. 중간의 "그 장면" 때 순식간에 소름 돋았는데 결국 똑같이 한없는 대화록 읽고 클릭질하는 통에 있던 긴장감도 다 식었다. 원래 미연시가 다 이런 식인지 모르겠는데, 어쩜 이렇게 똑같은 말을 조금씩 다르게 반복하는지 대단할 따름이다. 이 게임 작가는 보고서를 많이 써 본 거 같다.

I strongly believe this small visual novel was designed to elicit a reaction of grief and sadness rather than cheap thrills. The reason why this game is so unsettling and depressing if not because of the imagery and gore, but ultimately the fact that these unfortunate things happen to so many people around the world on a daily basis and we hardly even realize it, these situations are troubling to witness, as at some point in our lives we may feel these exact same emotions, we might live through the exact things same as these characters at some point in our lives. The player character, in this case, can either be a protagonist who attempts to free these characters from the existential hell that is the literature club, OR an antagonist who enjoys watching the psychological suffering of these characters.

    ⚠️ IN MY OPINION ⚠️
    Doki Doki Literature Club is of the type of games i usually don't play on PC, But this one was the exception. And it did not disappoint. The Graphics is on par with what this game seems to be at the surface. But just as you should not judge a book by its cover, you should not judge this game by what it seems like at first. It will take that wrong turn multiple times, and show you some of the darker aspects of human mental states.
    The narrative plays a big part in this game and it was done flawlessly.
    The plot will make you disturbed at some moments and sad at other turns, or it will simply mess with your mental state. The Technical part of the game is impressive, how the game deletes files and keeps running seemingly all bugged. Even more impressive on steam, as the script is kinda doing what malware would do. I will end this by saying this. Listen to the warning the game gives you before you start a new game, it might be beneficial to your mental health.    … Expand

    Characters:

    Yuri is edgy, dark and eerie.
    Sayori is funny, kind and also quite self-aware.
    Natsuki is a spoiled brat.
    Monika is successful and smart.

    At first sight, Doki Doki Literature Club! appears to be a typical romantic visual novel. As the game goes on, many of the clichés and tropes are explained through dark and intimate themes which develop into 4th wall breaking mechanics that make you feel more personally connected with the characters.

After that the things is going to be very, very weird, after that we discovered that Monika was manipulating everybody just to be with you in the end, and that's the main plot, Monika just wanted to be with you.

Yo jugué este juego por q me lo recomendó un amigo, al ver el juego no me llamo la atención, pero decidí darle una oportunidad, al principio fue como me lo esperaba, un aburrido juego de citas con una trama romántica (ese tipo de historias no me gustan en general) y era una novela grafica (odio ese tipo de juegos por su jugabilidad, es muy cerrada) hasta q después vi unos diálogos muy extraños de monika, y eso no fue todo, ya q la trama dio un giro q yo no me esperaba, sayori se suicido, después de eso empezaron a pasar cosas raras en el juego, y llevó a un punto q yo me llegue a asustar, a diferencia de otros juegos "survival horror" o del genero de terror este dio un miedo psicológico y un suspenso increíbles, después yuri se suicidó y natsuki fue borrada, y aquí conocí a la villana del juego, era monika, q rompió la cuarta pared de una forma muy sorprendente, y tenia q desacerme de ella de una forma muy original, claro ella no era mala del todo, solo q los desarrolladores no crearon una "ruta" para ella, al igual q este final (q me recuerda a la trama de los juegos portal) y sus otros finales me sorprendieron mucho, y el juego termino gustándome, en pocas palabras, "no juzgues un libro por su portada"… Expand

    One of the best games I have played. Technically, the game is rather weak, but its climate and emotions it evokes are arguments for me why I rate the game at 10/10. The rating of this game is quite subjective because it can be something different for everyone. For example, at the end of the game I cried, but I saw someone laugh at the end.

Желаемого эффекта, мне кажется, можно было добиться только, если бы главный прикол сюжета, раскрылся неожиданно. А так он читался, благодаря множеству отсылок, оставленных автором по ходу.

From the first part to the ending, the game looks so beautiful. It's amazing how a game this good is free on steam. Team Salvato put a lot of effort into this game and i hope the next game will be just as good. Honestly, this is the best game I ever played. It's really sad at the ending too... I feel like i lost someone special to me... Team Salvato, you did a great job at the game, please keep it up.

While it seems cute and happy and an average dating simulator, it takes a dark turn with an amazing twist that was hinted from the first act with Monika saying to remember to save the game implying that she knows its all a game. Team Salvato wasn't afraid to go to the extent of having multiple characters kill themselves and i love it. The soundtrack is lovely and the story is rich. Monika adds new files in the game files throughout and also deletes the character files when she makes them die. Act 3 and 4 are get intense and while you have to delete her file she still protects you to the end with Monika singing a beautiful in the credits and the images being removed to represent how Monika is deleting the past because she thinks it will be better for you.… Expand

    It’s not that time consuming but while playing you’ll get lost in time, it’s very enveloping (just make sure to save the game so that you won’t lose any progress).

W przeciwieństwie ode mnie. Mój kolega pewnego dnia powiedział: "Hej stary, widziałeś tą nową fajną gre anime?" I tak to się wszystko zaczeło. Wszedłem, pobrałem uruchomiłem, zagrałem...I przeżyłem szok. Na początku myślałem " O wow fajna mechanika pisania wierszy". No a po jakimś czasie.. Jeb Sayori wisi. To był ten moment. Po przejściu tej gry czuje się emocjoalnie związanym z każdą bohaterką. Piękność tej gry nie leży w fabule, BA nie leży nawet w straszności tej gry. Piękność tej gry leży w systemach i pomysłach. Świetny jest np. pomysł z plikami, pomysł z tym że gra DOSŁOWNIE się rozpada od wewnątrz ( Tzn.Pliki podczas drugiego aktu, gdzie wszystko oficjalnie się pierniczy wyskakują glicze i gra realnie psuje i usuwa pliki tej gry) I do tego ta fabuła ukryta pod dekodowaniem, szyfrowaniem i buszowaniem po plikach. Wydaje mi się że człowiek siadający do tej gry wiedząc że jest horrorem psychologicznym nie ma takiego wrażenia po przejściu gra jak ja. I ta muzyka końcowa... Coś pięknieo. Więc moim zdaniem gra zasługuje na solidne 9/10 głównie przez to że nie miałem pojęcia co mnie czeka po wciśnięciu przycisku "Play"… Expand

    This is one of those games that you should experience without reading a review for it. So, if you haven't played it yet, please go ahead and do so, taking the game's warning seriously of course.

    When I first saw this game on Steam, I genuinely though the "Psychological Horror" tag was just people abusing the system. Given the game's positive reception, its catchy cover and popularity, I    This is one of those games that you should experience without reading a review for it. So, if you haven't played it yet, please go ahead and do so, taking the game's warning seriously of course.

    When I first saw this game on Steam, I genuinely though the "Psychological Horror" tag was just people abusing the system. Given the game's positive reception, its catchy cover and popularity, I decided to give it a go. After reading the reviews and being 2 hours in, I actually feared what might come next. I've never been so apprehensive about finishing a game due to its shocking nature. And sure enough, this game truly is disturbing, even if you prepare yourself for the worst. But it's impossible to keep the game's depth a secret when that makes up 90% of the appeal. So why am I giving this a positive review?

    Well, the game breaks the fourth wall like no other. I encourage you to play this game in windowed mode and after about 2 hours in, open your steamappscommonDoki Doki Literature Clubcharacters directory. These are real files with a different extension (one is a PNG, another is Base64 encoded message etc.).The game itself, written in Python2, actually changes the files (and not just those in that folder) as you play, which makes it feel truly real.

    But that's just some gimmick, right? Anyone could do that, it'sn ot the most creative idea. So, again, why am I giving this game a positive review? Especially after the ending it gave me. I assure I was most certainly NOT impressed. It left me more upset with the game and the writers' decision to end it like that, so much so that the shock factor was outweighed by my dismay of how it all happened. But you realise that's not all this game has to give.

    What truly sets DDLC apart is that it serves a much deeper purpose than your ordinary game. As a visual novel, this genre has very limited interactivity, and despite my inexperience with VNs, I've always wondered what the purpose of them is compared to an eBook. Yet Doki Doki Literature Club makes the best possible use of the medium. Simply put, it is a tool to raise awareness of mental health issues. It truly creates a sense of empathy that cannot be expressed in any other medium. As you "read" through DDLC, you begin to get a sense of how truly horrible loneliness and depression must be. You start to feel bad yourself. Then you wonder how it must feel like to live with this. Even if you can relate to some of the themes explored in DDLC, you begin to realise just how deep they can go. It's frightening, concerning, yet what makes it so impactful is that this is not a joke. Yes, it is taken to the extreme. But it's absolutely real. These things do happen, and even if extreme cases are not so common, even milder issues must be... just awful.

    So, despite the sadness, this game serves not only as an educational tool but also an inspiration. An inspiration to care more about those around you, and yourself of course, if you can relate to any of the characters. It makes you want to hug not only your friends and relatives but even strangers. It's one of those experiences that will stay with you. Depending on your personality, it may be haunting and you'll regret having beared witness to such tragedies. But to others, it may be a valuable learning experience    … Expand

When I first played it, I thought the subject or category of this game was wrong. However, I was very impressed by the measures he took to prevent problems that may occur during the game. It was nice that we noticed the big mistake we made and dealt with as the game progressed so well with the comic and anime characters. But the feelings and thoughts of the characters often shuddered me. I think it is a game that takes a short time to play, but it affects the person who plays in a state of loyalty to the characters. I am very happy to experience this beautiful game. I can easily say that I have learned lessons from his story. I look forward to the next game you are releasing! #JUSTMONIKA

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a special place in my heart. I love how it subverts your expectations by being a psychological horror instead of a cute anime dating simulator. I remember watching a playthrough of it in school (although I shouldn't have) in 9th grace by a YouTuber named Joshiball since my friends were talking about it and it was interesting to me. Seeing Sayori's death scared the living crap out of me as a 15-year-old struggling with OCD. I mean that messed with me for the rest of the day when I first saw it. I hated this game for months afterwards. Eventually I exposed myself to the image of Sayori hanging more and more, and now it doesn't bug me so much. As a result of this game, I now really like horror as a genre, whereas before I was always scared of it. The best thing about it is how it portrays mental illnesses and gives warning signs for them. I replayed it recently and unfortunately it wasn't scary to me at that point, most likely because I already knew everything that was going to happen. In addition, it takes quite a bit for it to get going in the first act. Despite its flaws, I love this game, as it has helped shape me into the person I am today.… Expand

Within such a short span, you're sucked into the game and everything feels so surreal. Despite the game only being a couple of hours, you really do feel for the characters and they all feel like actual human beings. The writing is amazing, no matter what people might say. I will admit, the first half of the game is quite boring. Very simple, and standard VN stuff. But the reason that's so is because it really makes the second half of it all that much better.

    The visuals are also quite nice, being in the normal anime style and all, and also has some good detail and design to it as well. The backgrounds are also very well drawn. The OST is very simple, yet really leaves a lasting impact on you once you finish the game. The characters, in tandem with the writing are phenomenal also. It's essentially the same thing as the story. On the surface, you have some really standard stuff, you have the quirky, happy childhood friend who introduces you to the girls, you have the big **** girl in the form of a dandere, you have the cute and tiny tsundere, and you have the popular, pretty girl. Really normal stuff, but again, once you delve in deeper you really do feel for them. They have all these characteristics that make them feel truly like humans, really giving you a unique, and heartbreaking feel to it. If you do end up getting to the ending, you feel absolutely heartbroken man. It really breaks you inside, and leaves a lasting impression on you; something not a single game has done to me prior to watching the game.

    The game isn't amazing because of these amazing, incredibly fun gameplay aspects, but rather, because of the great writing, and ability to really make you feel something after finishing it. That, to me, is something simply irreplaceable, and despite the fact that I still haven't played it, this game will always have a special place in my heart. Mastapeece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the beginning it is just usual (maybe boring for somebody) visual novel with cute girls. Besides i'm not person who plays visual novels on daily basis. But later it develops into really interesting psychological horror with good jumpscares and 4th wall breaking.… Expand

    This game has been published for several years and I just finished the main plot (bad and happy) few days ago. For the roles in this game, they are not independent individuals but a whole with many possibilities. The chosen you make (the role you prefer) can be reflected by others.

    Another point is its interaction. There is a whole part that the player can have a talk with one the of roles. (really talk, not the script)
    I always think that galgames are usually laugh, a bit sad and laugh. But this work changed my mind (maybe just I do not play much, and I felt a bit pain when I finished the first chapter actually).
    For its background, the poets (I think they are) have strong personal emotions. This makes this game more realistic. Under these circumstances, these four roles get together created this complex and defective home called “literature”. That is why they need an “outsider” and why they need a “player”.
    Quote a lyric at the end:
    “Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you. In my hand is a pen that I'll write a poem of me and you.”    … Expand

    Doki Doki is one of the most unpredictable game that i ever seen, on of the few games that i feel bad
    for what appears on my screen, capable of giving me grief and sorrow, the final is magnific, but only problem is that it takes too long for the scenario to change in the game.

    Doki Doki Literature Club is a mind boggling and hard hitting horror game that takes tried and tested formulas of both visual novels and dating sims and turns them on their heads. The themes and story pack a punch, and stayed with me long after I had finished playing. It may require commitment from some to get through but the reward for those who stick it is more than worth it

    A horror game disguised as a dating sim. First couple of hours are boring and written poorly to the degree of being hard to digest for me, then things get better, but the story is still shallow and the substance plays second fiddle to the form. [01/2018, p.61]

    Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novella that masterfully manages to creep up on you, shatter the 4th wall with a sledgehammer and land it on your unsuspecting face.
