Doki Doki Literature Club! is a visual novel. As such, its gameplay has a level of interactivity and consists of scenes with static two-dimensional images of characters in a starting time-person perspective, accompanied by occasional choices the player is forced to make in order to advance the plot. The descriptions and dialogue are depicted in the form of accompanying text without voice acting. The game's narration is provided by the game's protagonist (whom the thespian controls), a fellow member of the titular literature club, to which he was invited by his childhood friend Sayori. ^{[2] [iii] [4]} Whatsoever decisions the thespian is advocated to brand over the course of the plot touch on the development of the protagonist'south relationships with key female characters Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki, just ultimately take little effect on the outcome of the game. ^[5] The characters' interactions with the protagonist are primarily influenced by a minigame in which the histrion is required to compose a verse form from a gear up of randomly selected individual words. Each girl in the literature club has different word preferences, and will react positively when the role player picks a give-and-take that they like. ^{[2] [3] [four] [5]} The characters' reactions are stylized in the class of miniature chibi avatars of the characters which are displayed at the bottom of the screen during the minigame, and which will jump given the opportunity as a response to the player selecting one of their favorite words; ^[2] Monika is not able to exist romanced in this manner, which subsequently affects the plot of the game. Depending on the results of these minigames, the player volition feel scenes for whatever character liked that detail poem the most. ^{[4] [v]} The narrative is divided into three acts and an epilogue, with the game restarting each time. ^{[half dozen]} At a certain point, the player must manipulate the game's files in lodge to accelerate the narrative. ^[7]

Plot [ edit ]

The main protagonist is invited by his cheerful babyhood friend Sayori to join their high school's literature guild every bit a remedy for his insular nature. ^{[ii] [three] [4]} He reluctantly agrees to her proposal and meets the other members of the club: the tsundere Natsuki, the diffident Yuri, and the bubbly club president Monika. ^{[2] [iv] [5] [8]} After each day passes in the literature club, the club members are prompted to compose a poem which they share with the other members the post-obit twenty-four hour period. Eventually, as the gild prepares for the school's upcoming cultural festival in which the club members intend to share their poems with a wider audience, Sayori reveals to the protagonist that she suffers from depression. ^[nine] The protagonist assists either Yuri or Natsuki with their tasks, with each attempting to kiss the protagonist earlier he encounters Sayori over again. The protagonist can either confess to Sayori or friend zone her in this moment. Regardless, the following day, Monika passively shows the protagonist an uncharacteristically morbid poem by Sayori that insistently orders someone to "get out of [her] caput". Realizing that something has happened to her, the protagonist rushes to Sayori's domicile where he discovers that she has hanged herself, and the game abruptly ends. ^{[half dozen] [9]}

The histrion is sent back to the main carte du jour, with all previous save files corrupted and somewhen deleted. ^[10] The narrative repeats upon the start of a new game, but Sayori is glaringly absent and the characters do not remember her existence. Monika introduces the protagonist to the society in lieu of Sayori. Events proceed similarly to the original playthrough, but some text is rendered illegible, the character sprites appear corrupted from time to time, and what appear to exist computer glitches or bugs go commonplace. ^{[ix] [11]} Aside from the game'due south frequent distortions, information technology is revealed through dialogue and unlockable "special poems" that Natsuki is malnourished and beingness abused by her male parent, and Yuri gradually becomes unstable, possessive, and prone to self-harm. ^[6] When the planning stage for the cultural festival is reached, a heated quarrel over who the protagonist will assist with the festival breaks out. After the player is forced to choose Monika, Yuri ejects her and Natsuki from the room and privately confesses her honey for the protagonist. Whether or non the protagonist accepts Yuri's confession, she commits suicide by stabbing herself, after which the protagonist is forced to stay and watch her corpse slowly decompose over the course of the weekend as a result of the broken game script. ^[ix] Natsuki returns upon the script resetting, vomits at the sight of Yuri'due south torso and flees the scene. Monika so appears and apologizes to the protagonist for the "boring" weekend he had spent, compensating by deleting Yuri and Natsuki's character files from existence and restarting the game. ^[6]

The protagonist is placed in what remains of the literature lodge classroom with Monika seated across from him. Monika reveals that she is a cocky-aware video game graphic symbol, having acquired the ability to manipulate the game's code later on gaining sentience. Distraught at the fact she is not a romance option but merely a supporting bystander, she used her ability to amplify the negative traits of her clubmates in a bid to brand them unlikable and prevent their confessions of love to the protagonist, just for them to become more than adamant. She then confesses her own love not to the protagonist, only to the player, due to them being real and democratic rather than programmed. ^{[vi] [9]} Monika will sit and talk to the player indefinitely about various topics until the thespian manually enters the game'south directory and deletes Monika's character file. Monika initially lashes out at the actor every bit she disappears, just ultimately forgives them and remorsefully repents by restoring the game and the characters excluding herself.

Endings [ edit ]

Depending on the course of action taken by the player, the game tin can come up to 2 possible conclusions during the epilogue. The traditional catastrophe sees Sayori introducing herself as the president of the literature lodge and expressing her gratitude to the role player for dispelling Monika. However, every bit the new guild president, Sayori before long adopts Monika's possessive characteristics, after which Monika intervenes via text prompt and removes Sayori from the game in order to save the player. Upon realizing that her efforts to make amends have been fruitless, Monika deletes the whole game as the terminate credits curlicue, while she plays a song called "Your Reality" that she wrote for the histrion. The game concludes with a note from Monika herself, stating that she has disbanded the literature society considering "no happiness tin can be found" in information technology. ^[6]

A more positive ending occurs if the player has viewed all of the optional cutscenes and confessed to Sayori prior to witnessing her suicide, which requires saving and loading several times earlier that bespeak. ^[12] Though yet self-enlightened, Sayori instead expresses her gratitude to the actor for emotionally supporting all the guild members, tearfully bids farewell, and assures the player that all the society members dear them. Monika then plays "Your Reality" during the credits, albeit without deleting the game. After the game locks, the player is presented with a message from the game's developer, Dan Salvato, describing his intentions backside creating the game and his opinions on video games as a whole. ^[13]

An before ending occurs if the player preemptively deletes Monika'due south file from the directory before starting a new game. Sayori is subsequently made the default leader of the club. Upon realizing the true nature of the game and her role in it, Sayori panics and forcefully closes the game. Opening the game again will display an prototype of Sayori having hanged herself. This image tin be accessed straight by deleting Sayori's file instead. ^[12]

Evolution and release [ edit ]

Doki Doki Literature Club! was developed by American programmer Dan Salvato over the class of approximately two years, and is his debut title in the video game industry. ^[14] Prior to its release, Salvato was known for creating the FrankerFaceZ extension for Twitch, ^[14] his modding piece of work in the Super Smash Bros scene, ^[fifteen] and for his custom Super Mario Maker levels. ^{[sixteen] [17]} Salvato was inspired to create a visual novel by his "love-hate human relationship" with anime, and emphasized the arable use of clichés in the genre and the frequent plots centering around "cute girls doing cute things", which he saw as both an nugget and a detriment to the viewer's enjoyment. Salvato sought to create a title that would concenter the histrion's attention regardless of how they personally view anime. ^[xiv]

Discussing the horror elements of the game, Salvato explained that he was inspired by "things that are scary because they make y'all uncomfortable, non because they shove scary-looking things in your face up." ^[14] To achieve this, Salvato developed the façade of a beautiful setting, which would break downwards over fourth dimension along with the beliefs of the characters, and somewhen the role of one evil character who had seized control of the game from the player would be revealed. In creating the game's horror elements, Salvato drew inspiration from Yume Nikki and Eversion , and emphasized to his squad that he wanted the market for visual novels to become much more than daring and less reliant on the aforementioned plot concepts. ^[18] The game'south characters were based around standard anime archetypes and were given Japanese names to emphasize a pseudo-Japanese atmosphere characteristic of Western-produced visual novels. The sole exception to this format is Monika, who received an English language proper name as a hint to her individual nature compared to the other characters. ^[19]

The prototypical versions of the cast of Doki Doki Literature Social club! (from left to correct; Sayori, Yuri, Monika and Natsuki) were created by Dan Salvato in a free online program for creating anime characters

Because Salvato lacked artistic skill, he used a free online anime-creation programme to create the initial character designs and applied these designs in test versions of the game. ^[xx] Salvato recognized that a product of such quality would not satisfy potential players, ^[20] so he fabricated a request to his friend, a translator for Sekai Projection, for sketches of schoolhouse uniforms and hairstyles for the characters. ^[21] Salvato and then handed initial visual development over to Kagefumi, who left the projection very early on. Later Kagefumi's difference from the project, Salvato contacted the freelance artist Satchely, who created the terminal character sprites over the class of a few months. ^{[22] [23] [24]} The sprites were created in several parts to give the poses more than variety. ^[25] The groundwork images were originally created equally three-dimensional models, and then processed by the artist VelinquenT. ^[26]

Salvato as well composed the game'due south score. ^[27] The introductory composition, "Doki Doki Literature Order!", is primarily performed by piano and flute with accompaniment past cord instruments. The composition "Okay, Anybody!" has five different versions, four of which are performed by different musical instruments that represent each of the iv female characters. Monika's version emphasizes the piano, Yuri'south version uses pizzicato and harps, Natsuki'southward version is played by xylophone and recorder, and Sayori's is played by ukulele. The game's score is generally calm and serene with the exception of two tracks, "Sayo-nara" and "Merely Monika", which are ominous in tone. ^[28] "Your Reality", a vocal song performed over the stop credits, is sung by Jillian Ashcraft. ^[27]

Doki Doki Literature Guild! was get-go released on September 22, 2017, on itch.io, and was later on also released on Steam. ^[29] The game is bachelor as freeware with an optional pay what you want model. Paying a certain amount unlocks a bonus "Fan Pack" that includes desktop and mobile wallpapers, the game's official soundtrack, and a digital concept art booklet. ^[thirty] The game's soundtrack was released on two compact discs respectively consisting of xv and x tracks. The first CD contains all the main compositions of the game, while the second consists of remixes and alternative arrangements. ^[28] On September 28, 2017, Dan Salvato posted an additional Doki Doki Literature Lodge! music soundtrack slice called doki17.mp3 to the unofficial Doki Doki Literature Club! Discord server, referring to it equally "an unfinished runway that never made it into the game" which "[while] pretty far from finished [was] notwithstanding somewhat pleasant". ^[31] The soundtrack saw some other release by iam8bit on "crimson smoke" vinyl in the starting time quarter of 2022. ^[32]

In January 2022, Salvato appear that new content would be added to Doki Doki Literature Lodge!, but clarified that he was non making a sequel to the game. ^[33] On June xi, 2022, Team Salvato and publisher Serenity Forge announced that a premium edition of Doki Doki Literature Order!, titled Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!, would exist digitally released for the Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Ane, and Xbox Serial X/S on June 30.

Reception [ edit ]

The game was received positively by critics, and accumulated a score of 78/100 on Metacritic based on 7 reviews. ^[38]

Steven T. Wright of PC Gamer described the game as "a postal service-mod love letter of the alphabet to the genre information technology represents", and compared its deconstructive quality to Undertale and Pony Island . ^[3] Robert Fenner of RPGFan noted that traditionally, major visual novel developers such as Central and 5pb. produced lengthy day-by-day narratives of a standard anime protagonist's relationships with their supporting cast. Co-ordinate to Fenner, previous attempts to revise the format, such equally Hatoful Young man and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni , could not escape the conventions of their genre and fully reveal their dramatic potential. He then alleged that Doki Doki Literature Club! had succeeded in this field by making unusual employ of the Ren'Py engine and providing unexpected plot twists. ^[2]

Reviewers emphasized that the game achieves its surprising impact on the histrion due to its outward resemblance to typical eroge games: information technology has a pronounced anime fashion in its character design, ^{[2] [vii]} and the game'southward goal is to develop a relationship with one of the characters. ^{[10] [xi]} In add-on, the characters consist of anime stereotypes whose behavior is sparsely displayed through their sprites, ^[4] and the game's musical accompaniment is light, bouncy, gentle and playful. ^{[two] [three]} According to critics, these aspects combined to create the impression of a standard visual novel that would prompt the actor to get attached to the characters. ^{[3] [4] [7] [11]} VisualNovelist of Jeuxvideo.com positively compared the game's visual quality to Everlasting Summertime, another independent visual novel with the appearance of a professional product. ^[43] Reviewers pointed out that the game's horror was built on the devastation of a sense of command over what happens in the game and the feeling of helplessness that stems from the distortions in the game'southward world. ^{[vii] [10]} Victoria Rose of Polygon stated that this approach was strikingly different from traditional horror games and films, where the viewer remains alienated from what is happening on the screen. ^[x] Amy Josuweit of Rock, Paper, Shotgun noted that while earlier visual novels have broken the quaternary wall by crashing the client or adding extra files, Doki Doki Literature Club! inverse the angle by deliberately destroying files rather than calculation them. ^[seven]

GQ 's Tom Philip commented that at times the narrative felt like "a slog, clicking through endless amounts of inane, flirty conversation well-nigh poesy." ^[47] Fenner opined that the game did not pass the Bechdel exam and positioned the protagonist every bit a seductive casanova. Nonetheless, he emphasized that the plot is ultimately a "sharply aware polemic confronting harem anime/visual novels" in which "the lengths the ladies go to are not wholly because of the protagonist, but rather he tin can be read as a symptom—an piece of cake outlet." Fenner also felt that the game, like Katawa Shoujo earlier it, "appears to veer dangerously shut to fetishization of very real bug." ^[2] Nevertheless, reviewers recognized the game's plot focus as successful and relevant. ^{[2] [3] [4]} viii Fleck Rambles stated that Doki Doki Literature Gild! "revolves around love in its most demented and deconstructive form," and characterized the game as an case of postmodern art. ^[48]

The game has oft been cited equally a satire of the visual novel genre it depicts. Steven T. Wright for Rock Paper Shotgun noted that even every bit the pastel-tinged game universe splits apart at its very seams the game nevertheless "never turns its many knives on y'all, the player," instead choosing to cocky-destruct, "cracking open to reveal nothing only artifice." ^[49] The game has also been viewed past many as a critique of dating simulators and of the people who play them, emphasized by a quote from the creator Dan Salvato, in which he mentions that he wanted to subvert the traditional visual novel stereotype of "cute girls doing beautiful things." ^[14]

At IGN 's Best of 2017 Awards, the game won the People's Choice Honour each for "Best PC Game", ^[45] "Best Adventure Game" (for which information technology was besides a runner-up), ^[50] "Best Story", ^[51] and "Near Innovative". ^[52] IGN also featured Doki Doki Literature Club! on their list of the "eighteen Best Horror Games of 2017" and subsequently every bit the 12th scariest game of this generation. ^{[53] [54]} Nerd Much? included the game on their 2022 listing of the "50 Scariest Horror Games of All Time." ^[55] The game won the "Matthew Crump Cultural Innovation Award" and was nominated for "Trending Game of the Year" at the 2022 SXSW Gaming Awards. ^{[46] [56]} EGMNow ranked the game 16th in their list of the 25 All-time Games of 2017. ^[57]

Cultural impact [ edit ]

In its first 3 months of release, Doki Doki Literature Club! was downloaded over one million times, ^[58] and exceeded 2 1000000 downloads nigh a calendar month afterward. ^[59]

Monika, the primary antagonist of the game, was well-received by fans of the game, and became the field of study of many fan works, such as the mod Monika Afterwards Story. ^[60] She became one of the game's most popular characters, with several memes (such as "Just Monika") being made about her. ^[61] Salvato was surprised past Monika'due south positive reception and massive popularity, stating that he did not look her to go so pop. ^[62]

Salvato criticized the "Trapsuki" meme, a theory that Natsuki is really a "trap" due to her broad shoulders and small chest, calling the meme "really disrespectful" and stating he "doesn't similar to joke near people'due south sex/gender, much less endeavour to convince others that it'southward not what they call up." ^[63]

On January 1, 2022, the primary characters of Doki Doki Literature Order! were added to Yandere Simulator as graphic symbol skins for the titular grapheme, with Salvato's permission. ^{[64] [65]}
