I have actually started playing the Doki Doki LC thing. It has surpassed my expectations.
I expected it to be just a bad horror game. And, well, it actually turned out to be a bad horror game. But there is in fact more to it. It has a message. Sure it's full of exaggerations and silly parts, but it conveys in a matter-of-factly and relatable manner the realisation that girls are not just love interests but also very mentally fragile and often heavily traumatised human beings. I only managed to fully understand this and develop a more compassionate approach to dating in my twenties. I would say it is a decent emotional education game for teenage boys.

Yeah, visual novels are not games, but as far as visual novels go, this one is top shelf. I have to say, I never imagined poetry fitting into a game and even adding into the replayability. Some pretty heavy themes going on with this as well.Weaver said:
I think "horror" is a bad way to put it, I feel like the meat of the game is in the story itself. There's maybe one or two proper jump scares, and even those depend on the circumstances. I think "unnerving" would fit better.
I'm hoping the success of this game inspires more games to focus on themes like these, not that there's a shortage of mature games out there, especially if you look into the visual novel scene.

As opposed to MEN who are immune to depression and anxiety and are much more rational and logical beings overall. #mgtow #roastie #riyadh
The point of the extreme behaviour by the characters in the lategame is to poke fun at the tropes of your average visual novel by taking them to their logical conclusions. The main antagonist even says so, multiple times in fact. "Wouldn't it be weird if real people behaved like this" and so on. If what you took away from it is that real women behave like that then #IdunnoWhatToTellYa
It's an ancient greek pedophile meme.
Yes, Jacob. My worldview is mostly shaped by anime visual novels. I do believe that men are not psychologically vulnerable at all. And I believe the writers constructed absolutely realistic situations and characters in their game. You've got everything right, good job.
I don't mind talking to fools. But smug fools are just irritating.
