Doki Doki Literature Club! (DDLC) is a psychological horror visual novel developed by Team Salvato that masterfully subverts expectations by masquerading as a cute, cheerful high school dating simulator. Players join a school literature club and interact with four female members—Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika—primarily by writing poems to win their affection. However, the narrative quickly takes a dark, unsettling turn into themes of mental illness, obsession, and existential dread, famously breaking the fourth wall by forcing players to manipulate the game's actual computer files to progress.
