Starship Krupa Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Good lord, pseudopop, have you actually played Doki-Doki Literature Club? I'm about what I'm guessing is the halfway point, and mind:thoroughly blown. I think it's doing a disservice to the game and prospective players to post a full game play video because it's the sort of thing that is best enjoyed going in knowing as little about the specifics as possible. So don't watch the video or read too many reviews if you plan on getting it. All someone needs to know is that it IS a horror game, although of course the graphics and ad copy make it look like something else, which is part of the point. If you like creative headfracks that subvert expectations, that color outside of the lines....you may find it to be a masterpiece. I will spoil it enough to say that "experience the terror of school romance" is creatively misleading. I would just hate to see anyone who might find this sort of thing entertaining pass it by as I almost did because they thought it was going to be a humorous take on how scary it can be to deal with romance at an early age. Although it is kind of about that, but with not very much humor and plenty of real horror. I've never played a game quite like this one. I have never run a computer program quite like this one. This is....brilliant. It's like if someone made an academia manga in the style of House of Leaves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
