DOKI DOKI psychological analysis( spoiler included kinda of)
I'm not doing this discussion on the basis that someone asked me to do this or anything but i feel like I must share my expertise(*cough cough) of psychological knowledge with you guys. There are lots of gamers out there right now who say that they're intentions are slightly turning suicidal but that's not true. The truth is they are overreacting. all right now let's get to it
I have 4 points that I must clarify to make you undestand about this
1.CHOOSE YOUR USER NAME: Now I know this might be a feature of every VN games but hey, does this aid in making the game influence you? YES. how? well, when each time the characters refer to you by name, you get a feeling like you are in the game and it gives you a feeling that you are in their world and u are not just a gamer( this is human psychology). You feel like they are actually calling you and making you take decisions that matters but come back to the reality folks! A word of advice then, would be to not give your own name and give some silly name as a user name.
this will help you to remind yourself that its just a game
2.THE ENDING SONG: If you carefully stop and think about it, the song did have an impact on you because it makes you feel that the true intentions of the characters in the game were to just make you love them and also makes you feel kinda guilty for misjudging monika(who wrote the song) in the first place.
3.THE DECISION MAKING: Of course you knew that taking monika was your only choice but still there is an unexplainable explaination that says that you are accountable for the death of the characters. And the highlight of this statement is Sayori's death. when you play the game for the first time without watching any playthroughs you can understand this better. when you are forced to choose between monika, natsuki and yuri, you are forced to choose monika by the game design. But some of you may have thought that it was a game bug(not important) or something wrong which resulted in you thinking" well, what's wrong with monika? ill just take her for now and if something wrong happens ill just save now and go back to this file to change it" . Well that leaves you with the feeling that you had a choice and that you did'nt try well to change their fate
4.THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR IDEA: HOLD MY BEER. Now let me clarify this. There is not much to explain but here's the idea. The game has attractive cute girls that are waaaay out of your league, right?Well there you go- the initiation of a psychological plot. But instead of you falling for them, they fall for you(immensley, LOL). you actually think you are a guy who has high sex appeal but the game is just manipulating you. When the girls die one by one, you actually get depressed about this. Why? You know why. you lost the only girls who fell for you bud! thats the funny way of putting it.......
Im sorry if this essay was too long for reading but i consider it utmost crucial for you guys to read this

Really nice! I saw your comment in Joskay discussion, I'm glad you shared this! I have somewhat a background in psychology (had extra classes in high school and by own research/interest), yet never thought to share an analysis to help people, congrats, Outlaw!

I have a lot of doubts that you’re actually qualified to give professional and efficient advice on a topic as complicated as mental health.
