ddlc: aka, my favorite game of all time, the game that made me who i am today and gave me most of my hobbies!!! :D
i found out about ddlc while watching laurenzside. at the time, i was young, and very. VERY. scared. of everything. creepypastas, horror games...even tamer things like fnaf spookied and scaried my skeletons. but, i saw she had made a video watching ... i forget what the video is titled. something about creepypasta/fandom tiktoks? there were fnaf and ddlc cosplays in there, which was my first interaction with ddlc, if you can call it that. (this is also my first real interaction with fnaf !!!)
couple days–a week later, it was 3am (wow, a lot of these stories take place in the night, huh?), and i came across lauren's playthrough of ddlc. i knew it was a horror game, and i knew i didn't like horror, but...i wanted to see what it was about. maybe i'd overcome my fear. and hey, if i didn't enjoy it, i could always turn the playthrough off!
i did enjoy it. i was hooked to my seat; finishing the entire playthrough that night. i remember going to bed at 5am and being terrified of yuri (the character, not wuhluhwuh), though this fear went away in a day or so.
and from then on, i loved ddlc. i watched clip compilations, different playthroughs, mod reviews—even started downloading mods and playing them myself. i filled up an entire notebook of ddlc sketches; my art wasn't that good, and i hadn't really ever drawn physically before, but i persevered simply because i now loved making things with these characters. i started getting into writing along with poetry. i started planning and scripting mods, fanfictions, poems, drawings...
i thoroughly believe that without learning about ddlc, i wouldn't have most of the hobbies i love today. i wouldn't be nearly as creative, i wouldn't be as kind, i wouldn't be as understanding. i wouldn't be me. i have four anime girls to thank for making me myself, silly as it may sound. ddlc is the best game ever !!!! im gonna keep writing poems until i die!!!
