    oh please don’t let this game be a meme. I hate that uncanny valley abomination, and I don’t care if it’s on purpose. I had to get it off my steam homepage

      I downloaded Doki Doki LC because it got removed from play store and I wanted to see what the hype was.

      What the fuck? It’s sooooo boring, does it even get good or is it just a dating sim for weebs?

      I’m fully aware I might be missing something or even not giving it enough playtime, my attention span does not care for it.

      Anyway, hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be shit because of hype hype rhythm rhythm

          Ok then, that’s a relief

          I’ll stick at it. Based on everyone elses replies I should just suck it up and carry on

          Edit: I see what you all mean now

            Half the point is the first half is a boring shitty paint by number dating sim.

            Then the shoe drops …

        Like the other guy said, at risk of being wooshed, how far did you get into it? It should become obvious pretty early on that it is NOT a normal anime VN

            Okay, maybe it isn’t obvious before the end of chapter 1 that somethings up, but even before then it shows the cracks a bit

        Are you serious? Because if yes, then you played not enough. The first act is like a dating visual novel. After that point, it’s not. Still it stays a visual novel and that won’t change but it’s not dating. If you need a non story spoiler to know when the point is reached:

        The Spoiler

        The game resets to the main menu after a scene and it looks like it begins from the beginning but you notice it’s different. Thats the point where it changes.

        Of course a visual novel is a different kind of game and I usually don’t like it, as its mostly reading, with a few choices. Its like reading an interactive book with a few visuals.

        Edit: fricking spoiler tag didn’t worked in the first time

          I’m not bothered about it being a visual novel at all, just didn’t like slow it is.

          Everyone else who replied has basically said the same thing so I’ll keep going.

          I’m just about to do the festival so in reality I’m probably only at chapter 2 or something

            The prep for the festival is Act 1. With the first day of the festival, Act 1 ends. So its not that much ahead of you.

            I’ve looked at my Steam page and in my Review 8 years ago, I actually wrote that the first Act is kinda “uninteresting”. My playtime is clocked in at 45 Minutes, for the original game. The plus version I played on Switch but the main story is the same.

            You need to do multiple playthroughs. You’ll understand more later.

            For me, one playthrough lasted somewhere between 1-2 hours, but it’s been years since I last played
