    Doki Doki Literature club is a 4 hour long narrative based gamewhere you play as yourself.. these 4 girls ar obsessed with you, youre the only boy in their literature club and you have to juggle their jealosy..
    Wiriting poems by picking 20 words from a list that you think a certain girl will like to make them like you even more… and then things get weird.. no spoilers, but think portal, things will just randomly be like oh, what game am I laying, and this second half is the better part of the game.. but in general I just didn’t find the story or characters to be that compelling, im glad I went through this ride to see what all the fuss was a about,
    it really is a game worth playing, but I didn’t care enough about the characters for the twists to really hit me as much as t should have.. which I feel is due to the repetitive nature of the story, with no real choices to make me feel like I was pushing the story towards any sort of direction, I was just reading and reading and reading, I like cute stuff, I like deep stuff, It’s the same story different day, bpick 20 new words, and I just couldntcare… which kinda left the 6 side stories in the plus version vs the main version to not really be wort hit for me in particular, for that reason id suggest just playing the main game for free, and if the world , the story, and charcters connect with you, go back and play through plus for that bonus content.. I however am not one of those people.
    Overall Doki Doki Literature Club isa good game, with crazy wtf moments.. But lower your expectations before going in.. its not as great as everyone pretends it is.
    I give Doki Doki Literatue Club Plus

    I played this on PC before, and it was a very worthy experience.
    The appeal of this game, is the fact that behind what seems to be a otaku dating sim, there's something deeper (if you manage to get past the boring first 2 hours).
    The experience on PC is by far the optimal way to approach this game, for some reasons that you'll understand after playing it, so if you can choose one, take    I played this on PC before, and it was a very worthy experience.

    The experience on PC is by far the optimal way to approach this game, for some reasons that you'll understand after playing it, so if you can choose one, take it on PC.

    That being said, this port is far from optimal. Just playing casually, the game has crashed >10 times which is more than 1 crash per hour. I don't know what was so difficult to program for a game where 99% of the content is text, a static image on the background and some music. This poor execution is my biggest complain.
    Other issues I had, is the fact this version has a minor censorship, which is nonsensical on a M rated game, BUT is even worse because a few seconds later, you can see on the next image exactly what they censored.

    Lastly, this version has some additions from vanilla version, which I didn't personally liked. But that's up to you. Like I said at the beginning, what make this game great, is that's not (only) about some cute anime looking girls dating sim. But the narrative on this game is boring and all the extra content is about that, a thing that I'm not really into. I get that they tried to expand the characters and background, but I saw just half of the side content because I was literally falling asleep.

    Tldr; play this but on PC, because it has no replayability and it'll be sad to ruin your first experience on a non optimal version. And avoid looking for any info, because you can get heavy spoilers just on titles or thumbnails on Google or YouTube. Just play it if you're curious (you can even get it legally for free).    … Expand

    Interesting visual novel game that has some disturbing twists. My main criticism is that if you play the PS4 version on a PS5 console, it is prone to crashing. It crashed about 10 times in 50 mins for me. Very frustrating but thankfully there's an autosave feature.
