Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


From the game

"Isn't it amazing how a writer can so deliberately take advantage of your own lack of imagination to completely throw you for a loop?"
Yuri

Between my feet...
The last remaining flower beckons to me.
I twist the stem, freeing it from its clinging roots...
Caressing the final joyous moment between my fingers.
But to what ends have I summoned this joy?
For now when I look in every direction...
The once-prosperous field before me...
Is but a barren wasteland!

Sayori's impromptu poem performance for the main character, during her route.

"Sometimes... A person's mysteries are untold even to themselves. And you, as someone honest and caring... May undercover feelings you weren't aware were in you.
T-That is... I think that... [Sayori] would be a very fortunate person... To have you... feel that way about her."

Yuri, to the main character
"The thing is... I've had really bad depression my whole life. Did you know that? Why do you think I'm late to school every day? Because most days, I can't even find a reason to get out of bed. What reason is there to do anything when I fully know how worthless I am? Why go to school? Why eat? Why make friends? Why make other people put their energy and caring to waste by having them spend it on me? That's what it feels like. And that's why I just want to make everyone happy... Without anyone worrying about me."
Sayori, to the main character

About the game

"Why am I reading poems in a video game, and I'm genuinely entertained by it? (laughs)"
"If you need to take a break from scary games this Halloween, there's a cute romance game I'd recommend. It's about a literature club"
Dan Salvato, October 2017 tweet
"It's a shame that one of the most disturbing and shocking moments of DDLC is a universally spoiled meme. But i suppose there was no way that it wasnt going to be.
