10 Video Game Secrets You Can't Unsee

10. Hidden Files - Doki Doki Literature Club!

Doki Doki's deceptive art direction and cute soundtrack may lead the player to believe they're embarking on a lighthearted journey of teenage romance as they're introduced to a high school literature club.

Natsuki, Yuri, Monika and Sayori all convey unique characteristics designed to draw the attention of the game's protagonist. The sweet is quickly replaced by the sinister, however, as the narrative takes a dramatic turn for the psychologically horrifying. Breaking the fourth wall and drastic changes in characters behaviour settle in, and as the story inches closer to its climax.

Doki Doki Literature Club! requires the player to enter the game's files on the PC's hard drive and physically remove an NPC's folder, wiping them from existence. However, what can be found amongst the character files is even weirder and devilishly difficult to decipher.

Embedded within the game's files are a smattering of seemingly nonsensical files that any regular player would skip past. Curiosity is rewarded, however, and by fiddling with the files, translating the scripts and reading the scores of information presented, a creepy tale featuring the characters of Doki Doki Literature Club! can be extracted.

The cute theme that greeted the player will never be the same again.
