Doki Doki Literature Club
Doki Doki Literature Club appears like a cute game on the outside, but in reality, it shocks players with its (intentionally) disturbing imagery. Released in 2017, the game follows the lives of characters Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika through the player. Monika, the leader of the club, is delighted to have the player there. But, when she sees them interacting with anyone other than her, she gets upset and is thrown into a frenzy. Monika may be the club leader but she also directly controls the game. She breaks the fourth wall and deletes the files of the other characters, ultimately resulting in their deaths. This way, she can have the player all to herself. Throughout the game, she changes the “script” to make the other girls unappealing and resets the game multiple times.
Amanda the Adventurer
Released in 2022, Amanda the Adventurer follows the lives of Amanda and her sheep companion Wooly. The player in the game has just found old VCRs of Amanda and Wooly and has to solve puzzles in order to progress. In order to solve these puzzles, players must observe their surroundings and input the correct code. Shown through the VCRs, Amanda has a demanding personality and always gets what she wants. Wooly has no choice but to agree to what she says or else he will be one of her victims. In the game, Amanda constantly alludes to death and something rotting. In the end, her companion dies by her hand.
