While she explains a lot of the story to the best of her ability, it still leaves me confused. In this special ending, we finally get to meet her. Throughout the game, there’s a hint of a character that we never got to see, only hear and hear about. This path is also the only overt evidence we get that Lena is the yandere, with the only other hint lying in Slavya’s route, when we see Lena holding something that glints in the moonlight as she (assumedly) catches us after doing the deed. Other than the part of the story where you have to go to the old camp (which, by the way, Alisa ruined for me), it’s the closest time the game crosses genre to a horror game. In my opinion, since Miku is a joke character, her ending is also a joke, too. Some actions tie into later paths and when you go through the final, final ending, you would go, “Oh, my god,” at the realization. This is the only special ending that you can get without completing a normal route to begin with, and it counts towards unlocking one of the special endings.Īnd like all special endings, the Semyon ending reveals a lot about the backstory. Like many other dating sims, you can choose to be a loner by having an even amount or not enough of points for all the datable characters. The special endings are another story and I think they carry most of the game. Oh, and there should be a trigger warning for her bad ending. Since Lena has the best ending out of all of the good endings, it makes ironic sense for her to have the worst ending out of all the bad endings. In similar fashion, the bad endings for this game leave you with a lingering sensation of longing, and maybe some bitterness in your throat if you do them after the good endings. There are secret paths and special routes, too, but those endings don’t really count in this. Ranked after Lena would be, in my opinion, Slavya (vanilla option), Ulyana (or as I like to call her, Child CCP), and Alisa (the tsundere, also best girl 1). The best good ending out of all the girls has to be with Lena (the yandere), though her ending is also the most unique one as it’s vastly different from the other girls. They leave a soft feeling of hope in you, I think.
The good endings for each girl is not satisfying, per se, but they’re also not that bad either. I am left scratching my head more often than not, and the reason they give isn’t really that solid, but I was so tired from reading their longwinded dialogue that I just accepted it as it is.Įvery time I go through a new route, new information is given to us, though the vanilla girls don’t really reveal too much other than their existence. I knew there was more to the story from the beginning, when the protagonist Semyon is transported to a summer camp and no one seems to tell him anything, but it goes deeper than that. Still, there were a lot of moments where I was genuinely invested in the truth behind the entire thing and what’s really going on. Though I’ve heard that YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story is the inspiration for DDLC, I’m not sure about the history of visual novels and who started the trend. Since this is released in 2014 (even though I played Doki Doki Literature Club first), I would say its twist is new. It takes so long for the main story to even get to the point (the summer camp), and even longer to properly start the game. Also, given that I stopped playing the first time around, you can tell just how slow this entire thing is. I hate wasting my time, especially if I have to read about philosophy. The protagonist goes into these long inner monologue tangents that aren’t even remotely interesting. It takes so long for them to get to the point. “It’s a visual novel, of course there’s going to be reading!” I can’t comment much on the controls because it’s just clicking and reading, but by god, there’s a lot of reading. In addition to that, I spent another 34 minutes in the sequel and got all of the achievements for that, too. And, yes, it was also sitting in my library gathering dust.Īs you can see from the screenshots, I had spent 38.5 hours in the main game and got all of the achievements.
