Doki Doki Literature Club Description
Doki Doki Literature Club for PC is a very-unusual visual novel. In the production by Team Salvato, you take control of a boy who is a member of a school literature club and who meets its female members. However, not everything is what it seems… This is a free-to-play production, but you can donate money to the creators on their official website.
Plot
In Doki Doki Literature Club, you assume the role of a teenager who becomes a member of a literature club, which is in the process of acquiring the official school organisation status. You meet the club’s four female members: young and vigorous Sayori (a childhood friend of the hero, who helped him join the club), dangerously charming (and strong) Natsuki, mysterious and quiet Yuri, and Monika – the beautiful and posh club’s president.
The game begins like a light-hearted romantic comedy film, but further into the story, the atmosphere changes dramatically.
