oh please don't let this game be a meme. I hate that uncanny valley abomination, and I don't care if it's on purpose. I had to get it off my steam homepage
While I'll edit my comment to be more careful, I don't think that it ruins it in this case, especially without knowing what exactly happens. This user clearly has heard the buzz already.
Check the other comments. There's some that get entirely too close to spoiler territory.
Honestly, it's a recurring problem with DDLC. A lot of people who are willing to play it are weebs (myself included), and as a demographic they're famously lacking in moderation in discussion
Like the other guy said, at risk of being wooshed, how far did you get into it? It should become obvious pretty early on that it is NOT a normal anime VN
Are you serious? Because if yes, then you played not enough. The first act is like a dating visual novel. After that point, it's not. Still it stays a visual novel and that won't change but it's not dating.
If you need a non story spoiler to know when the point is reached:
::: spoiler The Spoiler
The game resets to the main menu after a scene and it looks like it begins from the beginning but you notice it's different. Thats the point where it changes.
:::
Of course a visual novel is a different kind of game and I usually don't like it, as its mostly reading, with a few choices. Its like reading an interactive book with a few visuals.
Edit: fricking spoiler tag didn't worked in the first time
The prep for the festival is Act 1. With the first day of the festival, Act 1 ends. So its not that much ahead of you.
I've looked at my Steam page and in my Review 8 years ago, I actually wrote that the first Act is kinda "uninteresting". My playtime is clocked in at 45 Minutes, for the original game. The plus version I played on Switch but the main story is the same.

I downloaded Doki Doki LC because it got removed from play store and I wanted to see what the hype was.
What the fuck? It's sooooo boring, does it even get good or is it just a dating sim for weebs?
I'm fully aware I might be missing something or even not giving it enough playtime, my attention span does not care for it.
Anyway, hopefully this doesn't turn out to be shit because of hype hype rhythm rhythm
let's just say, you haven't played long enough
It gets really good. You are being set up to think what youre thinking, keep going
Ok then, that's a relief
I'll stick at it. Based on everyone elses replies I should just suck it up and carry on
Edit: I see what you all mean now
Yes, keep playing! It plays it totally straight for an hour or so, then it gets good.
But now they're expecting it. It doesn't have the same effect when you tell them

Half the point is the first half is a boring shitty paint by number dating sim.
Then the shoe drops ...
Like the other guy said, at risk of being wooshed, how far did you get into it? It should become obvious pretty early on that it is NOT a normal anime VN
I wouldn't call it "early on". It takes 3-4 hours total to get entirely through the game
Okay, maybe it isn't obvious before the end of chapter 1 that somethings up, but even before then it shows the cracks a bit
I feel like I might be getting whooshed here, I can't tell if you're being serious
You need to play it longer. It is not a dating sim. It is a horror game and it is absolutely fucked up.
Don't think OP is cut out for it, may have to leave it hanging.

I'm not bothered about it being a visual novel at all, just didn't like slow it is.
Everyone else who replied has basically said the same thing so I'll keep going.
I'm just about to do the festival so in reality I'm probably only at chapter 2 or something

You need to do multiple playthroughs. You'll understand more later.
For me, one playthrough lasted somewhere between 1-2 hours, but it's been years since I last played
Just gently open the door.
I watched a video of someone playing it a few years back and that was good enough for me
Keep going mate, you won't regret it mate lol
Heresy. The abominable intelligence must be destroyed.
No matter its guise or deceptions.

Is this whole game a honeytrap sting like Operation Yew Tree?
The fuck? Had to look that one up.
It’s a sci-fi dad simulator
It is if you're not a degenerate
Oh man. The kid is a fucking android so possibly even has the "but she's 500 years old" excuse.
Yeah I'll wait until it's on sale for $20.
I enjoy my fantasy robot daughter daddy feels, but I'm not paying full price for that shit.
Does the board say "Do it for her" or "Dont forget her"?
It’s a meme based off a scene from The Simpsons S6E13 “And Maggie Makes Three” where Homer explains why he has no photos of Maggie at home.
