Doki Doki Literature Club is one of those special games that's just hard to forget. It expertly blends cuteness with depressing horror, creating one of the most shocking and creative narratives in the genre.

Although, on the surface, it looks like any other dating visual novel game, it doesn't take long for it to show its secrets. Every single twists for both the narrative and characters is heartbreaking and completely unexpected. Even if you already knew the twist, like me, it still manages to caught me by surprise.

I also love how each of the four characters has their own distinct personality and writing style, which makes them all the more endearing. Simply reading these poems alone already makes the game worth playing, as the script was written so well that you could really feel the passion behind them.

If I could recommend a version to play though, I would definitely pick the original free version as this expansion does make a few changes that are, quite honestly, downgrade and even immersion breaking.

Despite it though, Doki Doki Literature Club remains one of the best and most original horror games of the modern generation. It's one that even those who aren't into cutesy aesthetics should still try to play.
