The game opens with the warning that it is not suitable for children or "those who are easily disturbed." At times it even like a slog, clicking through endless amounts of inane, flirty conversation about poetry. There are certain hints dropped that all might not be as swell as the game's upbeat music, bright colors suggest. Probably best not to play this one at work. Crossover - Yandere Simulator & Doki Doki Literature Club - Rated: T - English - Horror/Friendship. It follows you as a male protagonist joining your high school's literature club, whose membership consists of four girls, each of whom clearly has a vested interest in you, and some unnervingly stereotypical tight-fitting clothing. Senpai is the main male character of the game. It lulls you into a false sense of security that you just might be able to predict how things will go south, then takes a wild left turn into some of the most wickedly inventive narrative techniques I've ever seen. I played the first "act" or so with friends the other day and, while it starts slow, it descends into a singularly unique, deranged, and truly scary experience. While it's only been out for a month, it's already gained a cult following, and currently has a 10/10 rating from over 8,000 reviews on Steam, where it's available as a free download. Doki Doki Literature Club was pitched to me by a friend as a horror video game in the guise of an anime-style dating simulation.
