Doki Doki Literature Club

Doki Doki Literature Club (Abbreviated as DDLC) is a psychological horror game that turns out happy and joyful but changes into a dark and terrifying game. The game includes dark topics like Sayori's depression, Yuri's self-harm and Natsuki's dad abusing her. Monika also constantly breaks the fourth wall throughout the game.

It is currently unknown why Cory never continued Doki Doki Literature Club. It could be that he realized the game had heavy topics that were not suitable for his audience (which is mostly kids) or he forgot about the game.
