Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC), released in 2017 by Team Salvato, became a viral sensation for subverting visual novel tropes by descending into meta-fictional psychological horror. The memes often focus on 'Just Monika'—the antagonist who gains self-awareness and manipulates the game files—or dark humor surrounding the fates of characters like Sayori and Yuri. Its unique blend of cute anime aesthetics and disturbing glitches provides a rich playground for internet humor, ranging from wholesome club interactions to Fourth Wall-breaking jokes that poke fun at the game's disturbing twists and hidden files.
