Diabolik Lovers is classified as an otome game; like most otome games, the player takes the role of the main female character. In this case players take the role of Yui Komori, who can choose from a variety of male characters as her love interest.
In Diabolik Lovers, every playable character's route is split into three sections: Dark, Maniac and Ecstasy. Each of these three sections is split into a prologue, ten subsections, and an epilogue. There are three possible endings for each character.
