Y/N's Point Of View
I've never been that interested in visual novels or anything anime related for that matter, but Doki Doki Literature Club was different. I heard a great many things of its milestones. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I was in for.
I heard it was a psychological horror that pulled off looking innocent to the naked eye. I haven't heard the specifics, so I went in blind. I haven't even looked at the trailer.
When I got it downloaded, I opened it and was greeted by four lovely girls, each striking poses. Their trademark qualities are very prominent. I could almost guess all their personalities based on their designs and poses.
I observe the four girls meticulously. A certain girl caught my eye. Pen in hand, she had a warm smile and welcoming hand outstretched. Right off the bat, I could tell she was of importance. She was significantly closer to the front to the point of her legs being cut off the screen. Not to mention she was the only one with natural features. Could any of that have been to any significance?
I clicked the New game button. I'm probably looking into this too much. The creator couldn't have been that meticulous, right? It's just a short, free visual novel. I would assume it's inane, but it's reviews say otherwise.
It struck my curiosity I'll admit, the mere idea that a visual novel has the weight to sway millions has me on edge. I'd be living under a rock if I haven't heard of this game.
I took a deep breath, thinking about the brunette. "I guess I'll go for that girl's route."
4 hours later and I'm beyond flabbergasted. The game certainly lived up to its name without a doubt. It was a rollercoaster of unimaginable experiences. A well written script and a diverse cast of characters, although tropes, all relatable and likable in their own ways.
I was now halted at Act 3, talking with none other than the notorious Monika. My observation from the start was on point. She was the most significant character because, without her, the game would never have reached its peak in story and in popularity. I'd even go as far as to say that the game in its entirety is about her and her struggles.
I wasn't able to go Monika's route, but I don't mind it in the least. I liked all the girls, but her stunt made me dislike her. Yes, she made the story good, but she as a person was immoral and selfish. How could she kill all her friends?
Floating in the void, she sat across from me with a desk closing the gap. She rested her head on her hands, intimately staring into the computer screen.
"After all, I'm not even talking to that person anymore, am I?"
"That 'you' in the game, whatever you want to call him."
"I'm talking to you, (Inserted Player Name)."
"Or..."
"...Do you actually go by (Y/N) or something?"
The sides of my lips perked up into a smile. "We're going on a first-name basis, ey?" I said jokingly to the computer screen.
The game ceased to amaze me. It actually got my real name off the computer. I could tell how much effort was put into the game and it doesn't stop there.
2 hours later, Monika's dialogue starts to loop. It was a pleasant 2 hours, but the wait in between dialogue was tedious.
I leaned back into my chair, thinking about the game before I proceeded. I disliked Monika, but after hearing her out, she isn't as much of a villain as I thought. Everything makes sense, all her actions, and everything in-between.
