This is what VN dating  sims should strive for: subverting expectations, breaking the fourth wall, and turning an otherwise cute game into a psychologically demented horror show. To be fair, the characters are your standard archetypes and the base story is as linear and one dimensional as most other dating sims get, but everything else is just *chef's kiss*.  Plus, DDLC Plus helps give more personality and depth to the characters, making them seem less as some generic NPC of the game and more like an actual character in the game.
