A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

Bluesky Social
DDLC is a disturbing (good, but disturbing) game that opens as a bright cheerful one. So long as the description explained what the user is in for later on, I think Google shouldn't have done this. I haven't seen the Android version; I played it on PC, but as it is basically a "visual novel" I doubt there was very much difference between them.

that's valuable info.

wikipedia actually makes the game sounds interesting unlike a typical dating sim.

WARNING possible spoilers, don't read if you plan to play, but just know it's not just a dating sim.

> while it appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, it is a metafictional psychological horror game that extensively breaks the fourth wall.

> Reviewers pointed out that the game's horror was built on the destruction of a sense of control over what happens in the game and the feeling of helplessness that stems from the distortions in the game's world

It's totally free, give it a try if you're interested! It's also been ported to a variety of platforms unofficially (Wii and 3DS ottomh)

It's worth the experience to play that game once.

And I guess it's not worth porting games for adults to walled gardens.

Note that i said games for adults, not adult content. If you're expecting porn, move along.

I played this game recently and you have to click through several screens telling you that it's disturbing to open and play it
