God, they were right about the warning at the start of the game. I am someone who does not do well with horror in different mediums, for example I refunded Alan Wake 2 after the first jumpscare but since this game did not feature a traditional scary aesthetic I thought I would give it a go. But, god my anxiety was off the charts and I felt genuine fear with every line after Sayori killed herself and when I was not playing I could not stop thinking about the game which shows the impact which it had on me. Most games stuggle to get me to care about the characters but this game does everything in its power, and I cared about all the characters apart from Natsuki, probably because I went for the Yuri storyline instead. The game is not a great game, considering the limited involvement which the player has in the game but I couldn't care less as the plot is just so good and so terrifying with unsettling elements. I have never seen a game, have the user needing to delete a file in order to continue and that just displays how unique this game is. After this, I am definitely going to try and get the other ending and check out Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! and this game is a definite recommendation but just be prepared for what will occur.
