On 6 October 2017, it was released for Steam.
The story involves a high school student that joins the school's Literature Club and the way the character interacts with its four female members.
At first, it looks like a light anime dating simulator, but it soon becomes a psychological horror game.
It is a game that breaks the fourth wall very often.
The creator of the game, Dan Salvato, was working on the game for close to two years.
Before creating this game, Salvato created modifications, or "mods", to Super Smash Bros. Melee.
At first, Doki Doki Literature Club!
was released on itch.io then released on Steam.
The game is free, but if you pay $10, you can receive the downloadable content.
The game got more than one million downloads three months after it was released.
On June 30, 2021, Team Salvato and Serenity Forge released an expanded version of the original game, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!,

Sometimes, the player has to make decisions that change how the story goes.
The game has a poetry minigame where the player chooses certain words.
These words correspond to a certain girl.
If certain words are picked, different parts of the story can be viewed.
The game also makes the player view some of the files that the game uses to play.
The game has a lot of foreshadowing that tells the player certain things about the story.
If the player decodes the character files, there are extra stories unlocked.
At certain times special files appear in the game files.
Text documents show up about the next scenes.
The player's character is invited by his childhood friend, Sayori, to join the Literature Club.
He meets the other members of the club.
They are Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika.
The player begins to get involved in the club and getting to know the girls better.
Near the end of the first act, Sayori tells the player that she has depression and loves the player.
Sayori soon commits suicide by hanging herself.
The game shows a lot of glitches and it restarts.
When the player begins a new game, the game is very close to the first run, but Sayori is missing.
If Sayori is mentioned, the game glitches and she appears as a mix of all the other characters' appearances.
The player gets involved in the club again and gets closer to either Natsuki or Yuri.
Unusual events happen, like only being able to choose Monika's options.
Yuri soon stabs herself several times and dies, or Natsuki's neck cracks and she dies.
The game glitches again and it restarts again.
With the new game, only Monika is alive.
She tells the player that she knows she is in a game and can change the character files.
She reveals that she pushed Sayori and Yuri to kill themselves.
She continues talking for a long period of time.
To stop this, the player has to delete her character file.
When this happens, the game glitches again, and restarts.
In the new game, Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki are alive, but Monika is gone.
Sayori tells the player that she knows about Monika and how she is in a game.
She becomes very obsessive.
Monika comes back to delete Sayori and the game glitches.
The end credits come and Monika sings a song called "Your Reality".

Shinjitai (kanji: 新字体, kana:しんじたい) literally means "new character forms" in Japanese.
These are kanji (the Japanese word for Chinese characters) that were simplified in Japan after World War II.
At that time the Japanese government changed the writing system by replacing many kyūjitai (kanji: 旧字体, kana: きゅうじたい, meaning: old character forms) by making simpler characters.
These newer characters had the exact same meaning and pronunciations as the older ones, but they could be written with fewer strokes of a pen.
For example, the character 樂 simplified to 楽.
Some shinjitai characters are also used as simplified Chinese characters.
For example, the character 国 is used in both Japanese and simplified Chinese.
However, most shinjitai look more like traditional Chinese characters (called kyūjitai in Japanese) than even simplified Chinese characters do, and there are also far fewer shinjitai than simplified Chinese characters.
While most Japanese words these days use the shinjitai form, there are a few words where writing the kyūjitai form is still common.
For example, the word "dragon" is usually written using the shinjitai character 竜, but writing the kyūjitai character 龍 for it is also still quite common.
For most kanji, however, the shinjitai form is unchanged from the kyūjitai form.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT; , , ) is a railway tunnel in Switzerland.
With a route length of , it is the longest tunnel in the world.
The link consists of two single-track tunnels connecting Erstfeld (Uri) with Bodio (Ticino) and passing below Sedrun (Graubünden).
The main purpose of the Gotthard Base Tunnel is to increase local transport capacity through the Alpine barrier, especially for freight, notably on the Rotterdam–Basel–Genoa corridor, and more specifically to shift freight volumes from trucks to freight trains.
This both significantly reduces the danger of fatal road crashes involving trucks, and reduces the environmental damage caused by  heavy trucks.
The tunnel provides a faster connection between the canton of Ticino and the rest of Switzerland, as well as between northern and southern Europe, cutting the Basel/Zurich–Lugano–Milan journey time for passenger trains by 1 hour (and from Lucerne to Bellinzona by 45 minutes).
After 64 percent of Swiss voters accepted the NRLA project in a 1992 referendum, first preparatory and exploratory work began in 1996.
The official start of construction began on 4 November 1999 at Amsteg.
As of 1998, the total projected cost of the project was CHF 6.323 billion; as of December 2015, the final cost is projected as CHF 9.560 billion.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Godard (; born 3 October 1938), better known simply as PPK, is a Peruvian economist, politician and public administrator.
He is the 66th President of Peru serving from 2016 until his resignation in 2018.
He previously served as Prime Minister of Peru from 2005 to 2006.
Kuczynski was a presidential candidate in the 2011 presidential election, placing third.
Kuczynski went on to stand in the 2016 election, where he narrowly defeated Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori.
He was sworn in as President on July 28, 2016.
On 15 December 2017, the Congress of Peru began impeachment proceedings against Kuczynski, after he was accused of lying about receiving payments from a scandal-hit Brazilian construction firm in the mid-2000s.
However on 21 December 2017 the Peruvian congress lacked the majority of votes needed to impeach Kuczynski.
On April 10, 2019, he was arrested along with his secretary Gloria Kisic Wagner and his ex-driver José Luis Bernaola for an alleged crime of money laundering in the Odebrecht case.
In turn, he authorized the Prosecutor's Office to search for 48 hours the homes linked to their surroundings in search of documents related to that case.

The Ig Nobel Prize is a parody of the Nobel Prize, which is awarded every autumn to celebrate ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.
Since 1991, the Ig Nobel Prizes have been awarded to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think.”
The name of the award, the “Ig Nobel Prize” ( ) is a pun on the word ignoble, an achievement “characterized by baseness, lowness, or meanness”, and is satirical social criticism that identifies absurd-sounding, yet useful research and knowledge.
Organized by the scientific humor magazine, the Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), the Ig Nobel Prizes are presented by Nobel laureates in a ceremony at the Sanders Theater, Harvard University, and are followed by the winners’ public lectures at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Cybercrime is crime that uses a computer and computer network.
There are many types of cybercrimes.
These include doxxing, hacking, copyright issues, cyberterrorism and fraud.
Many countries have laws against many types of porn such as twincest, fauxcest, child porn, bestiality and others.
Some other actions can also be illegal such as cyberbullying, spying, child grooming or hebephilic behavior.
Some governments have agencies that deal with computer crimes.

Cybercriminals may also target an individual's private information, as well as corporate data for theft and resale.
Cybercrime attacks can begin wherever there is digital data, opportunity and motive.
Cybercriminals include everyone from the lone user engaged in cyberbullying to state-sponsored actors, like China's intelligence services.
Cybercrimes generally do not occur in a vacuum; they are, in many ways, distributed in nature.
That is, cybercriminals typically rely on other actors to complete the crime.
This is whether it's the creator of malware using the dark web to sell code, the distributor of illegal pharmaceuticals using cryptocurrency brokers to hold virtual money in escrow or state threat actors relying on technology subcontractors to steal intellectual property (IP).
Cyber crimes can generally be divided into two categories:
Magnetic levitation, maglev, or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields.
