Doki Doki Literature Club! is a 2017 visual novel video game developed by Team Salvato for personal computers and mobile phones. The story follows a student who reluctantly joins his high school's literature club at the insistence of his friend Sayori, and is given the option to romantically pursue her, Yuri, or Natsuki. Club president Monika also features heavily in the game's plot. The game features a non-traditional plot structure with multiple endings and unlockable cutscenes with each of the main characters. Although it initially appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, it is a metafictional psychological horror game that extensively breaks the fourth wall.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Looks like a cute dating sim. It is not a cute dating sim. Go in blind, trust me. One of those games you can only truly experience once.
By far the best game Ive ever played. Strongly recommend to people who would want to think about the game for days and be impressed by how well made the game really is.
I've seen it get glazed for years now, and after playing it, I see why. This game is amazing. First of all, the characters. They're so well written, I feel bad for them. Second, the idea itself. Imagine being a npc in a game, forced to be alone by the code itself. Third, the deaths. Holy hell, the deaths. Before playing, all I'd known was that someone would die. I never expected it to be like that though. The game is amazing. I love how it utilizes the steam code. Its so interesting. Character tier list- #1- Sayori, the goat #2- Natsuki. For a while, it was Yuri until the ending. Holy hell :sob: Anyways, I love how Natsuki really wanted to help Yuri (even after all of their arguments) #3- Yuri. Holy hell dude. #4- Monika. WHYYYYYYY MONIKA WHY
