I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said, because while I’m a bit late to it, it’s still genuinely great at the psychological aspects, and mental health presentation that gradually distorts as the game is tampered with. However, I do think some of the twist factor’s botched when you play on Steam. Any of the meta aspects, like file deletion, are tied solely to an in-game thing as opposed to the general file manager. And honestly, that weakens it a lot. Having had the twist spoiled like, fucking seven years ago, I think this version just loses the mindfuckery of that execution and so it hits a bit less hard for me. It’s like, imagine playing ONESHOT without all of the fuckery of its clever use of your computer’s files. It wouldn’t inherently work, IMO. This doesn’t equate DDLC in its sum to be bad, it’s obviously well praised for a reason, but this version feels like it maneuvers around such a riveting twist a bit less gracefully.

they made what was good even better

The funniest part of this game is i was forced to play it because i lost a bet, but i ended up really bonding with this game
The side stories actually made me cry, it tackles many issues that i deal with personally

I despise the trigger warnings at the start of this game ruining basically all element of surprise, but regardless, it's a wonderful visual novel and a fantastic story.
