Those stereotypically upbeat anime characters crumble.
The game and the girls spiral out of control as situations get darker and darker. Each character, though angelically drawn, is struggling with some form of severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or other tragic mental issue. But … Content ConcernsĪs I mentioned above, something very unsettling lurks beneath the surface of this story, as well as all of the anime girls in the club. On the plus side, this game is very good at drawing players in with all its colorful and sweet aspects. Then, as they get to know one another, the club eventually starts planning for, and working toward, an upcoming cultural festival that will hopefully draw in new members.Īnd the game suggest that our guy might just end up with a bright and adorable girlfriend to boot! Positive Content Players get to know each girl through flirty text conversations and then write poems that they think might appeal to one girl or the other, based on that individual’s personal likes and dislikes.
The music early on here is lighthearted and whimsical as the characters converse via a pink text box. There’s his sweet and exuberant bud, Sayori the incredibly shy but intelligent and appealing Yuri the tiny but caustically assertive girl Natsuki and the club’s bubbly president, an overachieving honor student named Monika. Of course, his attitude changes once he gets to the club and discovers that it’s populated by nothing but super-cute girls. Our guy really has very little interest in literature or clubs, but he goes along for the sake of his slightly absentminded childhood female friend, Sayori. Gamers begin play from the first-person perspective of a faceless high schooler who is coerced into joining a small, after-school Literature Club that’s just getting started. But dig a bit deeper, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is a game that twists its cute concepts into the stuff of horror. On its face, this game looks like a typically sweet anime “dating simulator” filled with bright, sparkling color paired with cute cartoon teen girls sporting stereotypically appealing anime personas. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is not what it appears to be.
