Can anybody reccomend me games similar to Doki Doki?

[nigel.danielson92]

After playing Doki Doki, I seem to have an urge to play more games similar to it, I very much enjoy the horror aspects of doki doki, such as how yuri was, and i was wondering if there were any games on steam that are similar.

I don't play a lot of horror games. But I read a pretty good visual novel murder mystery called Lucid9. No fourth wall breaks or anything, but it's a good read for the low price of free.

Pony Island is similar in terms of 4th wall breaking

There is a good Metahorror game where it messes with the game files in the computer, it's called Imscared, but it's not a VN.

[Miniverse]

I feel like, for people who like dokidoki, they might like "life is strange" the first version, too !

Higurashi

It's pretty famous and i feel Doki Doki took a lot of inspiration from it. Hell, the base premise is extremly similiar and i feel DDLC actually plays with the expectations players of Higurashi had.

I recoomend Undertale as well.

The first game that came to my mind, was "Pathologic". It was a Russian survival horror game from back in 2004. They are remaking it, and the new version will be coming out in 2018. But the 2004 version is very much worth a play.

The closest experience I know of is still Irisu Syndrome, but it's not on this store (it's freeware and easy to find tho).

On steam, maybe Eversion (the dev himself cited it as a source of inspiration), Pony Island or Oneshot. The Zero Escape series might also satisfy you, though it's more of a sci-fi thriller.

There are also a lot of low quality rpgmaker games with vaguely similar mechanics, but they're usually not worth the time.

Similar? Well, I'm not sure about "similar" but if you want a game that's completely different from the other games and does something that no other forms of media can do, then I recommend:

The Stanley Parable

after that, you can get - The Beginner's Guide (it's from the same developer as Stanley Parable).

Now these 2 games aren't visual novels and they're not related to anime or anything of that sorts. They're not even horror games, but they're just something else.

"Similar" to DDLC in a way that they're actually vastly different from what you would expect from traditional video games.

[Magnus]

this is the god of games there is nothing like it

[nigel.danielson92]

Another thing I wanted to mention is that I LOVED Yuri's horror aspect to the game, and would love a VN centered around the "obsessed creepy cutty girl" sort, or similar horror Vns

I know it was already posted here, bu imscared did this kind of horror just as well in my opinion.

WAIT TIL THE DEVS REALESE THE NEW TITLE

Someone recommend the also free but a bit older "Katawa Shoujo" in another thread early on.

In the meantime I have played through one route of it's and I definitely second that recommendation!
It's quite a bit different from DDLC.

It doesn't try to set up an overly lighthearted atmosphere early on and the main-character has a severe problem. So the whole atmosphere is quite a bit more serious from the get-go.
It also is not a horror game. But what it does is setting up a lot of anxiety because you can actually fail. I ended up with an emotional-rollercoster. Not sure if all routes are like that but I'll try to find out!

It has nothing to do with DDLC other than a bit of meta.
