    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece. Of course, Act 1 is pretty slow and boring, but that has a reason. The reason is that you should forget the warnings. You're supposed to forget about the psychological horror disclaimer and tags. You should start to like the characters and to just love the game. That's why Sayuri's death also hits so hard. It was unexpected. The situation was going well. But then something like that happens. You suddenly remember about the disclaimer, about Monika saying "You kinda left her hanging this morning" before you find her hanging herself. The clues were so obvious that you didn't even notice. Only after finishing the game and breaking your head about what the fu** just happened will let you remember it. Even the easter eggs, such as the character files and the lore of the game is just so well done. I can't believe how good this game is. Even those, who don't like anime that much, should play this game. It's worth it. And personally, it even changed a lot of stuff in my mind. Especially how I think about others. And I tend to think a bit deeper into people's personality.… Expand

    Simple game without many dynamics until it blows your mind and makes you freak out like Psychomantis did in Metal Gear Solid

    Eu gosto da historia mas tem muito dialogo e isso acaba fazendo a pessoa querer pular tudo

    Un gran juego, teniendo en cuenta que es una novela visual, es un juego que tiene momentos impactantes, pero su gameplay se basa en leer, puede llegar a aburrir, pero sus momentos impactantes, final y el juego que se le da a los archivos del PC, suben la nota considerablemente. Al ser gratis y pesar poco, está 100% recomendado, pero se requiere paciencia

    Este jogo é sensacional, não esperava tamanha excelência, exclusivamente, porque eu já sabia uma grande parte dos eventos que iriam ocorrer, por conta de ser um jogo considerado antigo e devido aos spoilers, mas, mesmo assim, esse jogo não deixa de ser incrível, me surpreendeu muito, com um plot final. Se por acaso você leitor busca jogar este jogo, jogue-o e se jogue nele, recomendoEste jogo é sensacional, não esperava tamanha excelência, exclusivamente, porque eu já sabia uma grande parte dos eventos que iriam ocorrer, por conta de ser um jogo considerado antigo e devido aos spoilers, mas, mesmo assim, esse jogo não deixa de ser incrível, me surpreendeu muito, com um plot final.

    Pour ceux qui découvrent le jeu aujourd'hui en connaissant ce qu'il se passe c'est beaucoup moins bien mais pour l'avoir découvert à sa sortie j'ai été choqué de tout ce que le jeu était en réalité et c'est pour ça qu'encore aujourd'hui c'est un de mes jeux préférés.

    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.
