Doki doki, why so popular now?
| Because it's a horror game with a dating simulator mask. It starts of all cutesy but as you progress it starts messing with you and your choices. It's really worth it in my opinion
| Yeah what >>70600 said, and also because it is unique in what it does, you even got to goninto the game files as you play if you truelly want to find everything
| >>70632 with that what you said about messing with files I want to play it more, I will give it a try
| because meme and people like parroting meme
| hey g/u/rls. I was wondering if this game has jumpscare and monsteresque imagery. I don't mind gore, death, or glitchy ms paint drawing too much. I wanted to play it, but I don't wanna trigger my paranoia and never play vn forever.
| It doesn't have a lot of jumpscares.
| I wouldnt say it has many jumpscares>>70753 maybe one or two at the end, but there are rare chance of getting random ones throughout the game especially if you save and load to get the true ending
| No mangekyou bishoujo? im sad
| >random chance of jumpscare
oh just great. thanks for letting me know. i'll see if i can enjoy the game in some other way, cause it seems to be really good but the wimp in me says otherwise.
| TL;DR it's very spoopy
| Just Monika
| >>71332 No, you are not a wimp. Jumpscares are just cheap way of scaring people. It's just a normal human reaction/reflect to get startled if something show up suddenly and unpredictably, even if the thing that shows up is just a cute teddy bear.
| People shouldn't be taking doki doki in as a plain ol horror thing. It's deconstructive to your typical VN tropes.
Really though, this is a breath of fresh air compared to the shitty censored porn VNs you find on Steam.

well ok then. I'm considering playing it now but maybe like two hours a day. I used to run it through quickly because it seemed meh and then freaked out when shit started to happen.
| me by the way
| It's also popular now because a lot of YouTubers noticed its popularity and jumped on the bandwagon I suppose
| >>72753
> Deconstructive
Having a dark twist isn't a deconstruction, though. If the game is a standard VN with a dark angle, while doing little to actually examine the formula, it can't be called a deconstruction.
It's like calling Evangelion a deconstruction. Most people who declare this haven't watched Mobile Suit Gundam, or any Tomino work for that matter.
| OP here. I played DDLC last night and I really liked it, just ignoring the fact that sayori... I really was pissed with that but at the end I loved the dialogues of Monika. Welp everything its just Monika
| It's not even a good visual novel to be honest
It's literally just "ok shock value"
If you want a good horror visual novel, go play Chaos;Child pls.
| I would think its because of your expectations. You would think Doki Doki is a normal snime dating sim, but as soon as the game bugs out, that's when it challenges your way of thinking. Also the memes are spicy af

| I have not played it yet, but I have seen lots of memes and ppl talking about that, so, is it really good or just a kind of creepy plot with cute girls?
