Doki Doki Literature Club is a cult hit that began life as a freeware title on PC and Mac, and has become a much talked about and referenced part of gaming culture. On the surface it's a visual novel about poetry and romance, but its unique spin and approach then make it more of a 'psychological horror' experience. Yes, that sounds crazy; that's also why it's earned such attention and fandom.

It's now getting a full and updated release on consoles, including Nintendo Switch - it lands on 30th June. As you can see in the trailer above, which featured as part of IGN's Summer of Gaming, it's a 'Plus' version that adds various extras and goodies to the package:

  • 6 new Side Stories about friendship and literature, totaling hours of new content
  • 100+ unlockable images including new game art, wallpapers, never-before-seen concept sketches, and more
  • 26 total music tracks, including 13 all-new unlockable songs by Nikki Kaelar, plus special guests Jason Hayes and Azuria Sky
  • A built-in DDLC music player to unwind with your favorite songs in a custom playlist, or loop a single track forever
  • A high-fidelity visual upgrade with all artwork now in Full HD (1080p)

There will also be a neat physical edition that'll cost just $29.99USD; the official store states that pre-orders will open in the future, and it'll also pop up at major retailers.
