The game starts acting wonky as well, and makes you start questioning your sanity. And yet you must continue forward with the story, as you are rarely given the opportunity to engage the girls on a more personal level. There is clearly something wrong with the girls that they keep hinting at. In the droning rhythm of the game, little hints that something is off are something you shrug off. You are forced to play the game straight, meaning repeatedly playing an almost dull mini-game where you form a poem by strategically picking words from lists in order to win over the girl of your dreams. There you meet her equally cute friends who you are obviously smitten with as they fit anime tropes: president and queen bee Monika, tsundere Natsuki and mysterious Yuri. Your neighbor and closest friend, a cute and ditzy girl named Sayori, drags you to her literature club after school out of a shared concern for your lack of social skills. You are a remarkably unremarkable male high school student in Japan with a love of manga. After showing several warnings that this game is not advised for children and those with depression or anxiety, the 2017 video game “Doki Doki Literature Club” begins by almost boring you to tears with a typical story for a dating sim.
