I remember watching Markiplier (I think it was him) play this when it originally came out to see what all the hype was about. I was in for a surprise just like everyone else was.
If you like visual novels and like things with a twist I highly recommend this free game, just try and go in without any prior knowledge if you can.

I'm very torn over what to think about this one. Famously, it gets /really/ weird, and the horror elements in the latter half of the game are pretty well implemented and I was quite impressed. Of course it doesn't start off that way; the facade of normality lasts just long enough to lure you in, and I don't think the pacing could have been any better on that front.
However... that normal facade is, of course, a cutesy anime dating sim. I think that may be literally the most abhorrent art form to me. I absolutely despised the more 'normal' bits of the game; the art style sucks, the music sucks, the story sucks. But these are all just part and parcel for a genre of game I know I don't like so ymmv. I was very close to giving up with this one before it even got to the weird bits, but I am glad that I didn't.
In conclusion, I feel like I'm definitely not the target audience for this. But I can appreciate it nonetheless, and I do now understand some of the hype around it.

Jogo maravilhoso até pra quem não curte o estilo visual novel, a história mesmo sendo bem slice of life no começo, te prende e consegue te enganar o quanto o jogo quiser. Todas as personagens são cativantes de seu próprio modo (mesmo Monika que só temos um tempo juntos no final). A unica coisa que eu sinto que falta nessa versão da steam é algumas conquistas, seria bem interessante.
Parabens, Team Salvato. E aguardo pelo segredo que estava nos documentos do jogo
