So how is it that choice works in other games? Choice can be a great tool for story telling, no matter how little or how much impact it has on the rest of the game. Ultimately, the game has one path, which leads to us having to delete Monika from the game. We don’t realize this the first time we play through the game, but over time, we do come to realize this.
We, as the players of the game, get to make choices for our characters in an attempt to control the narrative, but most of the time, our choices don’t change the game all that much. In DDLC, the aspect of choice is very distinct. Doki Doki Literature Club is no different, bringing the aspect of choice to a visual novel/dating simulator/psychological horror game. Choice is without a doubt a big part of game genres across the board.
