Western visual novel developer Team Salvato has been earning wild praise for its recently released “Doki Doki Literature Club“, which initially starts out innocent and generic but eventually turns into something completely different – which some may regard as fitting considering the near imminent arrival of Halloween.
The game’s rather innocent trailer:
Steam reviews for the title:
“Well this game wasn’t disturbing at all. 100% family friendly material.”
“I have no words…”
“It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down…”
“This game is one hell of an experience that needs to be played blind.”
“Very nice and cheerful slice of life visual novel.”
“Cute girls doing cute things in the club.”
“This game teaches you valuable life lessons and really encourages you to develop your skills in poetry and writing. I liked all the characters but particularly Monika. Really, just Monika. Just Monika.”
“I can sleep peacefully now.”
“Hanging out with Sayori is so much fun! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Genuinely loved this, having a crisis now that it’s over because I don’t know what to do with my life.”
“As the only visual novel I have ever played I never want to try another one.”
“A fantastic, fun, and wholesome slice of life visual novel.”
“Recommended this to my friends because it’s a cute visual novel and now they all hate me?”
“This is a masterpiece. 10/10.”
Those curious to see what the game is all about can download it for free via Steam now.
It had a good run of people not understanding that half of the girls die or kill themselves.
Although it’s not like that many people cared anyways..

Best review. lol
I can’t believe I didn’t get that the first time I saw it.
All y’all have to play it before judging it, I mean it’s free! I thought it was very enjoyable and pretty amazing! This is a game made by one guy and I think he did a great job with this!
I am sorry but if this doesn’t have hentai how can it be considered disturbing? I am going to give a try though.
GoOd LuCk..
Real game start and the end of first playthrough
i bet you now know why it be considered disturbing

Like for example the access to character files. You can do what she did to the others.

Uhm, what would that be?
@Manuel
That’s not quite the end of the game. You can continue but you really have to pick up on some of her text queues…
SPOILERS…
I stayed more than an hour with my favorite girl and left when the text started repeating. I guess that’s basically the end of the game.
SPOILERS…
Are there supposed to be different routes? I cucked myself for the emo girl but it didn’t matter. She still went an hero.
Lesser than Higurashi-tier in terms of club activities and the innocence of teenhood but memorable nevertheless to those who try it. In its essence it is what it is.
How the f♥♥k is Higurashi disturbing, give me a break.
