The Walking Doki Literature Club

**The Walking Doki Literature Club** is an episodic horror apocalyptic mod developed by MystyTom, aka ThoMysteriousY. It is inspired by the Telltale Games' Walking Dead video game. The game consists of four chapters.

Walking Doki introduces some new characters and features which weren't in the original game. Similar to Telltale Games' Walking Dead, there are some parts of the mod require timed responses from the player, often leading to significant decisions that may impact the game's story. Some choices will also have an effect on the attitude of the non-player characters towards the main character, and may also affect their fate as well. It features choice notification, in which the mod's interface indicates that a character has changed their disposition towards the MC as a result of these choices. The mod also features quick time events (QTEs), in which, the player must follow on-screen prompts to keep themselves or other characters alive. If the player fails a QTE, it can result in death of MC or another key character, requiring the player to retry the event. Unlike most other mods, manual saving is disabled; instead the game is saved in the selected save file at certain points.

The Walking Doki Literature Club's first chapter was released on February 5th, 2022.

On April 14th, 2022, the mod was officially cancelled as the Mod author ThoMysteriousY announced on Reddit to be quitting the project.
