About this game
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! begins with a high-school student joining the literature club and getting to know its members. Writing poems is part of that interaction: you select words that particular characters prefer, and those selections also contribute to unlocking hidden poems and side stories. The school-romance setup develops into psychological horror. The Plus edition expands the original story with additional tales about friendship and literature. Alongside the narrative, players can unlock game art, wallpapers and concept sketches. A built-in music player lets you assemble a custom playlist or repeat an individual track, giving the collected music a space of its own outside the story.
