Doki Doki Literature Club Plus puts players in the shoes of a student who joins his school’s literature club at the request of his childhood friend Sayori, and meets other members Yuri, Natsuki and club president Monika. Soon, the player begins writing poems and grows closer to the other members - is romance in the air? Hailed by thousands as one of the most disturbing games in a generation, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is the ultimate psychological horror narrative experience.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plusis bursting at the seams with hours of Side Stories that expand the world of the game, exploring themes and ideas that will give players a deeper understanding and sense of connection to each and every character and their individual relationships with one another.
Today’s announcement was accompanied by a new teaser trailer that gives players a glimpse of some of the new features that they can expect from Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Among brand-new Side Stories are HD visuals, a new soundtrack for the new Side Stories content and more than one hundred unlockable images with secrets to discover as you unlock content.
“When we initially launched Doki Doki Literature Club, we never expected fans to embrace us the way they did. Four years later, the game still has a strong and growing community and we wanted to bring new content and upgrades to the game that would respect its legacy while enticing players with new experiences. We think the Plus version of the game with all its refinements and new content will be enjoyed by new and longtime fans alike,” said Dan Salvato, the game’s creator.
