Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is a remaster (or just straight up re-release) of the gone viral 2017 game, Doki Doki Literature Club! if it wasn't obvious by the name. It does contain bonus content, and a lot of it. So here's how the story goes:
ACT 1 BEGINS
You are the main character (which you get to name yourself) and you're asked to join a Literature Club by its Vice President and your longtime friend, Sayori. You eventually decide to check it out and... Holy sh*t, it's an all-girls club?
You then decide to join the club. Time passes and it's time to prepare for the festival. I personally decided to prepare for the festival with shorty Natsuki, but there's an option to prepare for the festival with tall and shy Yuri. And while that is happening, Sayori confesses to you about her depression and her feelings for you. If you accept, you'll start dating her.
Fast-forward to Festival Day and Club President Monika points out that you left Sayori "hanging" this morning. That's when the fun kinda kicks in. You gently open the door to Sayori's room just to see her LITERALLY hanging from a noose, dead.
ACT 1 ENDS
ACT 2 BEGINS
You are essentially brainwashed and forget about what happened in Act 1, OEF8ggowrsgrvewyhvrsegoye8ogyre and everything.
This time Monika invites you to the Literature Club, and so, a series of weird events begin.
After a series of poem games and fun story, Yuri confesses her love to you, and even if you accept or not, Yuri will stab herself and force you to spend the ENTIRE weekend with her. You continue to Monday and Natsuki, when seeing Yuri's body, will get nauseous and exit the room. So THAT'S why the ESRB rated this game M for Mature!
Then Monika appears and "deletes" Natsuki and Yuri with a "console" of sorts. Then everything gets deleted
ACT 2 ENDS
ACT 3 BEGINS
Welp, here we are. Just Monika. Just Monika until she's in the trash, ****
ACT 3 ENDS
ACT 4 BEGINS
Act 4 begins like a mixture of Acts 1 & 2. Sayori is president of the club now, so SHE is self-aware. She tries to Act 3 you but is stopped by Monika, who sings you a song while deleting the entire game.
Overall, the main story is great, with the psychological horror REALLY creeping you out when they happen. And the good story writing is so pleasing, especially after replaying Sonic Forces. Now onto what makes this game "Plus".
The side stories really just tell you more about how the Literature club came to be and the relationships between the 4 girls.
Special art and everything, never-before-seen concept art with the main character's F*CKING FACE!!!
And that's really it for Literature Plus Doki Club Doki! Really great main story, bonus content is great, and I have encountered no unintentional glitches. You should play the game yourself to understand the horror I went through.
I hereby give Doki Plus Literature Club Doki! a 10/10!… Expand
