Trigger warnings for murder, depression and suicide.
It’s a bit odd to have an easter egg like this in a super cute and innocent game like Doki Doki Literature Club, but hidden in the game files and encrypted with Base64, you can find this really good, dark short story.
I’m sharing it on this blog because it reminds me a lot of something I might come across in Worm, and so I think a lot of you might appreciate it. 🙂
(It’s not set in Doki Doki, so there’s no spoilers for that in it.)
“it reminds me a lot of something I might come across in Worm” please explain.
It’s largely the subject matter and tone – this is a story from the perspective of a clearly sociopathic 19-year-old who rather matter-of-factly goes over her quest to kill someone just to see what it was like and contends that it’s normal to want to try something like that.
It’s a premise I could imagine Wildbow dealing with in an Interlude. In particular, it reminds me of Interlude 10, in which we follow a sociopath as he does something fucked up just because he feels like it and with no sign of genuine regret.
