It's one of those games that you really need to sell to someone without saying anything about why you're selling it to them. What exactly was it though that made this four-hour long visual novel such a hit? We're not talking only with players either, but the Internet in general, with YouTubers like Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye, and more showering praise on the game and showing their responses for the world to see online.įirst of all, if you're jumping into this article and thinking 'what is that game about? I'll look it up?', don't bother, because you're either going to find material that gives away the entirety of the plot, or you'll find official marketing material that doesn't reflect the truth of what's in the game. Last year we were greeted by a game that was for all intents and purposes cute and cuddly, but then became one of the horror smashes of the year, gathering accolades aplenty for its disturbed story, subversion of expectations, and narrative methods. Doki Doki Literature Club was a game that kind of snuck up on the world.
