This games been out for so long, and it's surprising there's still people who never seen clips of the gameplay lmao.
Also Dan I'll still be waiting for that VN similar to DDLC
Will you write the way into her heart? · By
it took me like 3 days to like get over it, even though its such a dark game, looking back at it, i just started simping for yuri again she is HAWT... And im going on a date with a girl whos literally just yuri but like a tomboy, purple hair and everything, now that i think about it.
Edit: She stood me up :(
First of all, when you reply to this don't spoil me too much. I'm like 10 hours into the game but I'm not done. I think I'm at the beginning of act 3?? (if I'm not wrong)
-------
I payed attention to the content warning, though I went in blind. It was 13+ not 18+. As a rule of thumb 13+ to me means either:
- Strong language (swear words)
- Sexual innuendo, or just talking about the subject
- Blood and gore.
I immediately ruled out blood and gore. I mean, LOOK AT IT. Do those four cute anime girls look like blood and gore?? So I immediately assumed it was because of the character designs and the premise of the game, which to my mind, still was dating. Extremely ironing looking back.
I went in blind. The only hint of gameplay I saw was like in VN videos explaining about different and unique VN's, but I skipped DDLC because I wanted to see it for myself. And oh gosh I was broken from that for 2 days.
Then I made it worse with some mods. This game made me depresso expresso for an entire week. Still, cool game, and some mods are really fun to play!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU RESPOND TO THIS DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT SPOIL ME I'M NOT DONE WITH THE GAME!!!
That's what I did lol. Because of YOUR comment. I had heard of the game before but I really didn't know ANYTHING about it, not even seen clips, just the name. I was about to download the game out of curiosity but scrolled down to the comments first to see if it was any good. I saw this, and told myself "You know WHAT?? That's what I'm gonna do, go in blind!" Basally, I told myself that since I already recognized the name, that it MUST be a decent game.
I haven't finished the game yet (I'm right after Monika literally deleted herself ; and yes, I've been obsessively playing the game since I downloaded) but I'll tell you of my experience so far.
At first I didn't know why going in blind was such a big deal. After all, it was just a silly little romance visual novel. I still really liked reading the other characters poems, peeping into their personality. I thought that was the whole point of the game. At this point, I would've given it somewhere between a 6 and a solid 7 out of ten. I found the Yuri sucking your finger scene really cringe and that's what made me lean more to a 6. That's all.
At some point I looked up "Sayori" on google and clicked on the images tab. I wanted to make sure of something related to her character design. The first image: Sayori hanging herself. At first I thought that was fanart some fans had made out of some weird sadistic fetish (I still thought this was romance game for weeb pedos, as sayori and natsuki look really really young to me). But then, the game started taking a darker turn with the Bottles poem and all. When she disappeared after I rejected her, I knew. I somehow wish I hadn't found that picture of Sayori. I wonder how I would've reacted without this accidental prior knowledge.
Anyways, I thought Sayori had become the villain: The one who messed with the game files, and I believed she was hunting the game and wanted to kill Monika next. That is, become once when opening the game, it told me to back up Monika's file. I also thought SHE was the one putting all those disturbing things in Yuri's mouth.
Natsuki has been pretty quiet so far, but I feel like the Papa poem was from her. She said the club was her haven, that it's the only place she feels at home at (I'm paraphrasing). Anyways, looking forward to see how the game plays out without Monika's interference.
edit: yeah i'm done with the game lol
