Wow. Just Wow. Just finished my first playthrough, and I just discovered that I only had completed one part of the game! There's so much lore and such rabbit holes to dive even further into the game. Oh my goodness. I've had my share of some good visual novel games, but DDLC is probably one of the most if not THE most unique and twisted psy horror VN games out there. Very impressed and still processing this game. I will definitely go back and play out the rest of the game. For a free, VN game, and if you can handle some of the more mature and sensitive nature of the game, I'd highly recommend it. (Now, excuse me while I go vehemently scream at our MC. ^_^).

I have never in my life felt so many emotions for pngs. This game made me scared, happy, and everything else. I couldn't care less about fictional characters but for some reason I dead ass got sad when bad ♥♥♥♥ started happening in this game. I played with my friend and we verbally laughed and had our jaws dropped out of fear on multiple occasions. If you have a few hours to spare and want to feel a rollercoaster of emotions, plz play this game. From the outside it looks cringe or even embarrasing, but I swear it is worth every second and dollar. 10/10, wish Monika could erase my memory so I could expirience this game again from the start.
