Doki Doki Literature Club went absolutely viral almost a decade ago in part due to how it tackled touchy topics, walking a fine line between chirpy high-school-set visual novel and undercover horror nightmare. But after years of acclaim for its depiction of sensitive themes, the hit game's just been removed from the Google Play Store because of its "depiction of sensitive themes."
"Yesterday, Google decided to remove Doki Doki Literature Club from the Google Play Store," lead developer Dan Salvato and publisher Serenity Forge say in a joint statement posted to social media. "Their explanation is that the game's content violates their Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes."
