Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Review

[@planerice7630]

Ngl, when I played the first game I can't sleep properly there's times I just suddenly wake up yet I finished it. It was worth it

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Hahaha yep! I had the same experience too 😅 It's so unsettling... In a good way! - Anthony

[@dued3d603]

Yeah it really makes you think what if the millions of civilians I killed in GTA had a conscious

[@feta_cheesecake]

I always knew the Dark Slayer had great taste in video games

[@Thousandeyes85]

Its not cheap jump scare scary, it's actual psychological horror, a complete masterpiece of a game

[@PatrickMenesesYTOfficial4945]

Nah, more like tragic comedy.

[@PhilipJFry-tm9ve]

Idk I never felt horrified this game was just sad and with random not so scary jump scares I wouldn’t really consider this a horror at all more of a drama/thriller, unless your a kid then I guess this could be considered scary but for a grown man who has watched horror movies and animes all his life this was like watch rugrats tbh

[@TopFurret]

Agreed. I felt real existential dread when some characters wanted to talk to me alone

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Yep! @TopFurret Especially when you talk with a certain someone towards the end... - Anthony

[@mac1bc]

You guys have me interested in checking this game out. I doubt it will scare me though

Thanks for the minimal spoilers! An amazing review!

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the positive feedback! ❤️ @SHEEPinator Hope you enjoy the game! - Anthony

[@Sp3llmen]

I will say for the horror side of this wonderful game, I still have moments where I have to look away (scene with the rope). It still gets me like "HO.... yep there it is again..."

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Yeah, it's pretty intense! 😬 I think that scene hits so hard because it has such a stark contrast from the opening chapters of the game. - Anthony

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

Who you calling a ho?

[@s1mplythehero908]

I definitely agree with this review, this game is something that everyone who's remotely interested in horror should play. *Or if you're more mischievous, you can recommend the game to them without mentioning that part.~* Ultimately, this game is a love letter to the fans just like me who fell in love with the orignal game. Featuring a bunch of extra unlockables meant to cater to completionists, and some heartwarming sidestories, that, while they don't fit into the horror genre AT ALL, are what I consider to be a good change of pace considering the tone of the original game. Overall, I had no issues with how they were handled. Apart from the fact that I wish they were longer! The lack of changes to the base game was something I found quite disappointing. Sure it has some polish improvements and some higher res CGs, but the changes aren't gonna blow your mind by any means. I still had fun revisiting the base game though, I'll give it that. The new songs are also REALLY good, and I really enjoyed them. I can appreciate the fact that they went through and created them, instead of just recycling old songs like I expected. The overall story is also something that I really think will throw people for a loop. The whole "Metaverse" thing with the VMs was a really clever way to handle the weird discrepancies that were somewhat questionable about the original game, and I'm excited to see where Team Salvato will take it in future games. Overall, while it didn't blow my mind like the original game, I can safely say this is the definitive version of DDLC. If you're a fan of the original game, this is something I can easily recommend. 9/10 *IMO*

[@noahpauley]

Just finished a full playthrough and this game had me in tears multiple times. It truly is traumatizing in the best way where it sticks with you but nothing that will be harmful.

[@kriscrimetm6961]

I saw gameplays of the game on youtube, so I knew what was going to happen, but that didnt stop me from enjoying it, I loved this game for its psicological horror, it didn't bothered me a lot the disturbing scenes, and I enjoy finding the secrets that I never saw in youtube, and I dont care if the side stories aren't that scary, I think the point of this version is the lore behind it. So in conclusion, I never regretted buying it.

[@TheBetaNetwork]

A very positive outlook there! I'm really glad you got to check out and enjoy the game, even though you had already seen what the psychological scares were like beforehand 😊 What did you think of the side stories overall? - Anthony

[@kriscrimetm6961]

@@TheBetaNetwork I think its a good way of introducing the characters, their stories before we appear as a character too, like, for example (Spoiler Alert just in case) I first thought that Monika depressed Sayori but with the Side Stories I realized that she had that condition before. (as far as we know) But of course, like I said, there is lore behind it, so that makes it more interesting.

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Yeah, I completely agree! They're quite well done and I don't feel like they're tacked on just for fan-service. The lore in this game goes is far more grand than I initially thought it would be though (especially outside the game itself - if you know what I mean 😋) Btw, are you Subscribed to our KZbin channel? @Kriscrime TM We've got reviews out like this, every week + it really helps support the channel!

[@wolfywonder8480]

I feel like, while the horror elements are the hook, the characters at the heart of the horror are what bring people back. That's why it was so genius to make the side stories for DDLC+, because it expands upon the characters and makes us care about them even more, making what was previously scary just sad in hindsight. I love stories that you can unpack in different ways on multiple playthroughs like DDLC+ - on one hand you could see it as a deep psychological horror about the dangers of artificial intelligence gaining awareness, but on the other you could see it as the tragedy of a broken girl who thinks the only way to find someone who will truly care about her is to hurt the support group she already had. Brilliant

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Well said! @Wolfy Wonder I think you've captured EXACTLY what Doki Doki Plus is all about there 👏👏👏 That being said, I felt maybe there should've been a few more scary moments though - as the horror stuff seemed to blow past a little too quickly for my tastes. What do you think? - Anthony

[@wolfywonder8480]

@@TheBetaNetwork Well you are right about that ^^’ Personally, I found some things in DDLC scary and some disturbing, but definitely not to the same extent many other people did. I guess games like Corpse Party just desensitized me to that kind of stuff. But I dunno, I see DDLC+ as something of a prologue to whatever game may be coming next. In that sense, it makes you care a lot about these four girls, which will make whatever things have happened to them in VM 2 that much more terrifying and disturbing. Kind of like an… investment, into the next game, if that makes sense? But then again I’m not very picky at all about my stories in general; if I care about just one character, I’ll follow them to the end. So I’m very invested in where DDLC’s universe goes from here! I’m also a visual novel fan, so the slowness in the beginning doesn’t bother me too much because I like to read visual novels. Reminds me of the first half or so of the VN Steins;Gate; people often say the first half is really boring and slow, but the second wouldn’t hold up without it. And what a ride it is

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Very well-detailed answer again! (I can't possibly write a response that good 😅) But yeah, I can definitely see what you mean! Have you heard of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles? It's a spiritual successor to the Ace Attorney games (and the only game I gave a 10 this year 😉) So be sure to check out my review of that next, I'm positive you'll really enjoy it!

I would not say that I was particularly scared by this game, but I will admit, it did make me feel pretty sad afterwards about some things.

[@HotTakeAndy]

I would enjoy this 10 thousand times more if it was voiced. I’m not sure what the thought process of the developers were here, but it bums me out.

[@TheBetaNetwork]

I think it's just a budget thing at the end of the day @Arcadia D Considering that the original was made by one person and that the script is super long, it makes sense they left it voiceless. Even games like The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles by Capcom don't have much voice-acting, because it probably costs too way much. Especially for visual novels - Anthony

[@HotTakeAndy]

@@TheBetaNetwork I don’t doubt that. Just has a hell of a time keeping my attention.

[@CNotez-uo8kp]

I just did one playthrough what with it being included with ps plus, and I loved it! That said, I couldn't agree more.

[@peckneck2439]

To me this is literally the same thing as the original with all the soul socked out of it. Heres the thing, DDLC was an experience like none other. Navigating your own hard drive and moving files around in order to progress made you feel like you truly take part in some sort of weird fourth wall breaking situation. It made you think that Monika truly was on your PC trying to contact you through this visual novel and the whole experience was very immersive and almost real. Enter DDLC+ and all this has been completely removed and replaced with a generic in game OS that completely destroys the immersion. Orignal was an experience, Plus was a game. Original was a piece of art, Plus was a product made to make money.

[SPOLIER ALERT] Man I have played and watched plenty of horror games but this one had to have been one of the most disturbing. The Sayori scene made me throw up. The game was so cute( I had never seen anything on this game other then the warnings in the beginning so I knew it was something) and just the running and build up to opening the door and when I saw it and the creepy music I couldn’t hold it I ran to the toilet to throw up. Caught me so off guard. Psychological horror I believe this is. Bravo to the developers

I discovered original game in december 2020, when I clicked on video from my favorite youtuber with title (i try to translate it) "How I survived Doki-Doki" It sounded Japanese, so i thought that it will be review od some kind of hentai like Bocu no Pico. He is very pragmatic, so when I heard first words "Holy Mother..." i was surprised. Then he started talking and.. it chatched me. I paused, when he said, that in the next part of video will be spoilers. So, I found, that the game is for free, downloaded it and start playing. I was surprised, because it was so sweet that i was wondering, if I do not watch the whole vide... and then "I gently open the door" scene came... But, this game is amazing and that hiden lore gives this game a brand new dimension P.S. I'm sorry for my english :D

@@TheBetaNetwork well, it might be a spoiler, so ve aware of my comment! First, try to take any girl you want, lets start with Sayori. Always write poems for her, or pick her side anytime you can. At the end of act 1, pick "I love you" as an option. Just make sure you unlock all 3 of her cgs. Before act1 ends, save the game. Keep the save untouched Now, restart the game, but this time, lets do the Natsuki route. Do the same you did with Sayori, make sure you unlock all 3 of her cgs. Save the game on ANOTHER save slot and keep it untouched. Now, do the same with Yuri (or whoever you started with) but instead of saving the game, play the game how you normally would. You will unlock a new image and new dialogue. If you wanna make sure you got the secret ending, just look at the credits and see if the cgs are all colored in.

I feel like one of the truest terrors of DDLC isnt even the deaths and jumps cares every now and then- its the lack of control for me personally u have no controll of the game or what you do even your choices make no change and you are so inferior all you can do is escape and close the game but there is no way to properly change the game -you can delete monica but shes still there u can delete everyone but the game will just end you have no choices the happy ending where these girls become ur actually gf( which ik some of u neckbeard incells want) it's just impossible you cant completely rewire the game..... Or can you?

[@PhilipJFry-tm9ve]

So when does the horror actually begin?

[@TheBetaNetwork]

I think it's about 3-4 hours in. Any other questions about the game? @Philip J. Fry

[@PhilipJFry-tm9ve]

@@TheBetaNetwork nah this game isn’t all that horrific I saw the supposed “horror” in another video and it was nothing compared to animes like corpse party or akame ga kill I guess if you a kid it could be scary but it wasn’t the kind of horror I was expecting tbh think I’ll pass on this game…

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Ahhhh, I see! That's completely fair. Funnily enough, I actually found this more scarier than Corpse Party 😅 But don't get me wrong, Corpse Party is also a great take on the horror genre as well 🔥

[@PhilipJFry-tm9ve]

@@TheBetaNetwork I get it tho corpse party was more gore and just blood it wasn’t even scary at all lol maybe I’m just desensitized by all the movies I watch 😅

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Maybe! Hahaha 😂 We must be in the same boat, because I've watched a lot of horror movies and am quite desensitised as well. That's why I need something different to come along and throw me off the scent. Can't wait for House of Ashes in October. Good chat btw, was very fun 👏

I'd have to say... Yes, but just keep your guard up. Also, make sure to put on those optional content warnings that I talked about in the video @jaicro89 Have you seen any of the creepy/scary scenes from the game before? - Anthony

[@theredblur9598]

My final thoughts on this game are not good, to say the least. "Doki Doki Literature Club" is one of those things that should've never seen the light of day, much less gain the popularity it did. The story is disturbing, the gameplay is weird (not the good kind of weird), and the characters feel like they're glorifying their mental disabilities. Unless if you are one of those people who have a weird imagination, I highly recommend that you avoid this one at all costs. My final rating of this game is as follows: The Story: 1/5 The Gameplay: 1/5 The Characters: 2/5 Overall: 1/5🗑

[@Ghostman223]

@@TheBetaNetwork from what I saw it had less scares, I haven't played it yet so I may change my opinion but right now a 7/10 Especially because they even said it's a horror game which the orginal did not, I kinda understand why because they got money from it. But 15$ doesn't seem that fair for a game that was originally free.

[@TheBetaNetwork]

Ahhhh ok, that's fair enough. I believe they're charging $15 for the Plus edition because of the porting to consoles and all the new content. Which is understandable because the side stories alone are almost as long as the main game altogether.

Happy to help! @NorthSpider The game definitely has a slow build at the start. Once it gets going though, it's pretty hard to put down. Oh, I see! Yeah, it looks like a dating sim or romance anime, doesn't it? People that went in blind got the shock of their lives 😂
