Depression, self-worth, and more real-life problems that affect young people are addressed with a deft hand. The side stories, like the main game, don’t shy away from dealing with some actual issues, either. It also makes the horror aspects of the main game hit so much harder, as you build a stronger connection with the cast. By the end, you get a much better sense of who the four girls are. Again, these sections aren’t scary, and instead focus on just character building pieces - they’re all great. These stories take place outside the main canon of the game and explore how each of the four girls, Natsuki, Yuri, Sayori, and Monika met and joined the Literature Club. They are also non-interactive, and play the most like a traditional visual novel. Just like the main game, they take about four hours to do altogether. These side stories are unlocked by playing through the main game and focusing on specific girls when writing your poems after each day.
There is no horror contained in these it’s pure character building, but with the same level of top-notch writing that made the main game so affecting. The biggest new addition to the game are the six side stories that add a lot of background on the four main characters. There’s even a music player in the main menu. Doki Doki Plus features all-new sprites and backgrounds, as well as new and remixed music throughout. The main game is unchanged outside of new HD illustrations that all look very crisp. And this brings us to this article’s titular question: is Doki Doki Literature Club Plus worth it?īefore I get into why, I will start off by answering that question immediately with an unequivocal yes. Earlier this year at E3, an updated version of the game was announced, with Plus! tacked on. With it being free on Steam and able to run on even the most low-spec computer, the game saw huge success. The game is one of the best horror games ever made a truly psychologically disturbing experience. What appeared as just another trope-filled, cliché-ridden visual novel clogging up Steam actually turned out to be something much different. Way back in 2017, Dan Salvato unleashed Doki Doki Literature Club onto the world.
