Doki Doki Literature Club! 2017

About this game

A student reluctantly joins his high school literature club at the insistence of his friend Sayori in this 2017 visual novel for personal computers, given away free. He can pursue her or the other members, Yuri and Natsuki, with the club president Monika close behind. Each day ends with a poem: you pick twenty words from a changing list, and every girl likes different words, so what you choose raises or lowers her affection. It begins as a light hearted dating simulator, but it is a metafictional psychological horror game that breaks the fourth wall, with several endings and unlockable scenes for each of the main characters. It is short. The poems are still how the story is steered today, since the words you pick for each girl decide which scenes you reach.
