And unfortunately I was not wrong! Time for edgy horror forever, whee. That was a genuinely interesting idea.īut then she didn’t show up to meet you the next day and knowing that it became horror, I immediately went “ugh, so. I thought the first twist was actually pretty solid - that what you had been reading as cliche cute/quirky anime love interest behaviors were actually her having depression and instead of confessing her love to you, she’s confiding to you about that.
This is more or less one of the reasons I hated the game.
However is told from the point of view of those looking to council and is more focused on technological and ethical questions, though the protagonist does have her own baggage. On the more fantastical end of the spectrum, I can recommend Soundless, a visual novel about a girl is plagued by visions, and Seabed, which is an amazing mystery visual novel about the after-effects of loss.Įliza by Zachtronics is probably also worth looking at. However, only act one Missing Stars is out now. There is also Missing Stars, a " visual novel about mental disorders and the people they affect". Doki Doki Literature Club! Purist Mod, another full remake, " which turns DDLC into a traditional dating sim".Doki Doki Blue Skies, a remake that turns DDLC into a full-fledged visual novel, many times longer than the original: " Heavily inspired by Katawa Shoujo, this mod will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions with your Doki of choice - will blue skies remain, or will the storm take over?".Doki Doki! RainClouds, a remake of DDLC told from the perspective of Sayori.There are a few VNs that might interest you, several of which are fan remakes of DDLC:
i was honestly hoping this would be one of the first times we'd genuinely see that topic tackled in a somewhat mature way that highlighted just how bad it could get and the inner workings of such issues in an otherwise seemingly normal environment.Īt the end of the day it all kind of got sidelined or just made into 'Monika made them like that' or 'Monika pushed them to do this' and all and a lot of the pontential nuanced takes we could've gotten were lost. They're all very important and heavy topics rarely seen in VNs or really most stories in general. Stories of mental illnesses, abuse, and their effects on people. The major story beats and revelations i was hoping it would focus on when i was first playing after hearing of it was - Sayori's depression, Yuri's self-harm, and Natsuki's abuse at the hands of her father. I know this is like one of the major reasons the game became such a big thing, but honestly the premise of the game was quite solid even without it.
