Have you ever played DDLC before? SayoREE 02/09/2024 (Fri) 23:28:36 No. 650
If not, it's free on Epic. Not a big fan of plus edition since it's just fanservice intended but 10 bucks is 10 bucks, you know.
>>
>>650 ah, feels like ages since this game came out. but apparently it was just 2017. I consider myself a VN snob but I liked it when everyone was hating on it. it's a good western VN. it's very bare bones. not that much to the characters at all. but it doesn't try to be a big deal. it's just fun. for me, natsuki and sayori are the best dokis. I'd take natsuki if I had to pick between the two. I'll save art and browse for natsuki/sayori from time to time.
>>
>>650 I gave it a shot when it first came out and it was just... bad. The 'kawaii' aesthetic felt so fake and forced I could've told this was some 'subversion for subversion's sake' type game even without the countless warnings, like the entire thing feels like the dev only knows of the stereotype of a visual novel so making it all spoopy and glitchy would make it interesting. Could've been a great comfy title with something for the literature geeks, but it went for the normie 4th wall horror angle which feels like a total waste.
>>
>>677 this is exactly how i feel. i really hate how popular it got...
>>
I hate DDLC, the creator is literally a tr(...) who hates otaku culture, and he made this shitty dishonest VN to mock it. The only reason why this piece of shit got so popular is because of those soy face youtubers and streamers who play the shittiest indie "horror" "games" for some attention and ad/donation shekels. A better western VN is Katawa Shoujo. While it has some issues, it's a much more genuine work that tries to capture the soul of Japanese VNs.
>>
>>682 Katawa Shoujo is a work of art. I wish I could experience that game for the first time again.
>>
>>684 Sorry, but I'm a lolicon, not a pedophile.
>>
>>685 it has a SFW mode that turns the child sex scenes off
>>
>>688 No, it's down to the disgusting art style, and I assume writing. Those don't look like idealized "children" (lolis), those look like actual emulations of children. And no, I don't think that something like this harms real children and should be banned or whatever, but I just think it's disgusting.
>>
>>689 well, uh...sorry for posting about it. i didn't like the art, either, but i thought the story was really good, and i wanted to share it, since i genuinely think it's one of the few good western VNs...
>>
>>690 I didn't care for the story other than a few good jokes but I found the art style to be very cute and erotic.
>>
>>691 I find the art style to be very unappealing
>>
>>684 ew wtf?
>>
>>698 fuck me for posting about it, sorry you added so much to the conversation, every positive thing i listed automatically countered by those five letters of discontent
