There are a few VNs that might interest you, several of which are fan remakes of DDLC: i was honestly hoping this would be one of the first times we'd genuinely see that topic tackled in a somewhat mature way that highlighted just how bad it could get and the inner workings of such issues in an otherwise seemingly normal environment.Īt the end of the day it all kind of got sidelined or just made into 'Monika made them like that' or 'Monika pushed them to do this' and all and a lot of the pontential nuanced takes we could've gotten were lost. They're all very important and heavy topics rarely seen in VNs or really most stories in general. Stories of mental illnesses, abuse, and their effects on people. The major story beats and revelations i was hoping it would focus on when i was first playing after hearing of it was - Sayori's depression, Yuri's self-harm, and Natsuki's abuse at the hands of her father.

I know this is like one of the major reasons the game became such a big thing, but honestly the premise of the game was quite solid even without it.
