As a result, the game's community became absolutely massive and led to people creating a ton of cool mods for the game. Players who expected a run-of-the-mill dating sim ended up embarking on a terrifying journey that deconstructed the very nature of video games itself. As the Modding Press J to jump to the feed. Updated Decemby Ritwik Mitra: Doki Doki Literature Club was one of the biggest surprises when it was released all the way back in 2017. r/DDLCMods: DDLC Mods aims to discuss, develop, and enjoy fan-renditions of Team Salvatos Doki Doki Literature Club and DDLC Plus. Here are some of the best mods that players can try out if they love Doki Doki Literature Club. The unique nature of this game has led to the title attaining a massive fan following, resulting in the creation of several excellent mods that are an absolute treat to play through. RELATED: Best Visual Novels For Fans Of Slice Of Life Anime The game presents itself as a run-of-the-mill visual novel right before things end up taking a rather violent turn into the realm of pure horror. This is where Doki Doki Literature Club ends up being quite a unique specimen.

There’s plenty of sweet, touching, funny, sad, and horrific moments, and the heavy topics are handled about as well as you can hope for.Visual novels are one of the most niche gaming genres around, with some games in this genre featuring stellar artwork, riveting stories, and incredible characters that make for a memorable experience. If you don’t notice the music, that’s a good thing! The writing of course as you can guess is great as well.

However, some are bad ending exclusive which again, adds replay value. The art genuinely looks really good, and you can unlock the CG’s to view later. On a side note I love that there’s a sense of difficulty progression if you start with Sayori’s route, which is the most straightforward, then do Yuri’s route, which starts adding bits of horror and the aforementioned “bait and switch”, then Natsuki with the most endings with more difficult choices.Īrt, Soundtrack, and Writing: So Blue Skies kills it here. Meanwhile in Sayori’s route the um, PG-13 scene is treated as a sweet conclusion to the story, but in Yuri’s route the reveal that Yuri wasn’t comfortable at all and forced herself to engage in the action because she felt she had too drastically changes how her PG-13 scene is viewed. Just because MC’s mom is a great character who gives helpful advice, doesn’t always mean it’s the right path, as it’s shown in Natsuki’s route where if you listen to your mother and give some money to Natsuki, you’re guaranteed a bad ending. Twists and Turns: We’ll get into the writing pretty quick here, but I gotta give praise to the different “bait and switch” situations that come up. Sakurai is MC’s teacher and although he doesn’t have as big of a role or provides a ton of insight, his character is still a fun one and still serves as an adult figure MC can turn too which is refreshing to see. She has her own sprite and her role as the rock who gives helpful advice is perfect. MC’s mother makes several actual appearances and she’s by far the best “new” character.

Mama MC and Sakurai: This mod introduces four new characters that help flesh out the DDLC world outside of everyone in the Literature Club. This obviously encourages replay value, which for a mod is always pretty cool to see! Natsuki though has five endings and it’s not as obvious which choice is the correct one unlike for the Sayori and Yuri routes.

They live or they die, as you would expect from these kind of mods. Multiple Endings: Sayori and Yuri only really have two endings. I’m a fast reader, and my total playtime without getting all the bad endings was a whopping 15 hours! I’ve paid money for games that have given me less content than Blue Skies. Three main routes, multiple endings for each one, three total acts. Is it though?īang for your Buck: This mod is HUGE. It's fiiine though! Blue Skies is an older mod, and it's been called one of the best. “I’m a goddamn onion MC, you should know that”
