oh please don't let this game be a meme. I hate that uncanny valley abomination, and I don't care if it's on purpose. I had to get it off my steam homepage

    I downloaded Doki Doki LC because it got removed from play store and I wanted to see what the hype was.

    What the fuck? It's sooooo boring, does it even get good or is it just a dating sim for weebs?

    I'm fully aware I might be missing something or even not giving it enough playtime, my attention span does not care for it.

    Anyway, hopefully this doesn't turn out to be shit because of hype hype rhythm rhythm

    Ok then, that's a relief

    I'll stick at it. Based on everyone elses replies I should just suck it up and carry on

    Edit: I see what you all mean now

    Yes, keep playing! It plays it totally straight for an hour or so, then it gets good.

    But now they're expecting it. It doesn't have the same effect when you tell them

    While I'll edit my comment to be more careful, I don't think that it ruins it in this case, especially without knowing what exactly happens. This user clearly has heard the buzz already.

    Check the other comments. There's some that get entirely too close to spoiler territory.

    Honestly, it's a recurring problem with DDLC. A lot of people who are willing to play it are weebs (myself included), and as a demographic they're famously lacking in moderation in discussion

    Exactly. I'm confused why you're singling me out when it's the other comments that are borderline spoilers. Clearly he already knew something different happens after a little playtime, even before these other comments.

    I'm not really trying to start a shitfight over verbage, which is why I've edited it so we can all rest easy. But it feels a little like walking on eggshells to avoid saying there's

    Tap for spoilera twist

    in a 10-year-old masterpiece primarily known for

    Tap for spoilerits twist. I even knew about the twist when I decided to play it. Still a 10/10. Even these spoiler tags kinda imply something big is going to happen, should they read without looking.

    Yes, it would be cool if everybody could watch the Sixth Sense fresh for the first time, but it's just kinda not in the nature of discussing things that hinge on a twist.

    Your comment was the easiest to reply to, not wholly sure why. And to be honest, I wasn't planning on making it an entire conversation, just a one-off. It's when you pushed back on the spoiler claim that made me reply again.

    Are you serious? Because if yes, then you played not enough. The first act is like a dating visual novel. After that point, it's not. Still it stays a visual novel and that won't change but it's not dating. If you need a non story spoiler to know when the point is reached:

    The SpoilerThe game resets to the main menu after a scene and it looks like it begins from the beginning but you notice it's different. Thats the point where it changes.

    Of course a visual novel is a different kind of game and I usually don't like it, as its mostly reading, with a few choices. Its like reading an interactive book with a few visuals.

    Edit: fricking spoiler tag didn't worked in the first time

    I'm not bothered about it being a visual novel at all, just didn't like slow it is.

    Everyone else who replied has basically said the same thing so I'll keep going.

    I'm just about to do the festival so in reality I'm probably only at chapter 2 or something

    The prep for the festival is Act 1. With the first day of the festival, Act 1 ends. So its not that much ahead of you.

    I've looked at my Steam page and in my Review 8 years ago, I actually wrote that the first Act is kinda "uninteresting". My playtime is clocked in at 45 Minutes, for the original game. The plus version I played on Switch but the main story is the same.

    Like the other guy said, at risk of being wooshed, how far did you get into it? It should become obvious pretty early on that it is NOT a normal anime VN
