His father Darren later stated that he believed Doki Doki Literature Club may have contributed to 'dragging' his son into a dark place. Quoted in The Sun, Walmsley said:Ben was growing up fast. It is hard for parents but this needs to be highlighted. There is no confirmation yet, but we believe that the game could be linked to Ben’s death. Characters suggest things and you decide what to do. It drags you in and they make it very real.
Ben did not speak about it, but parents need to be aware of this game and other similar games. It is free to download but once you get into it, it will not leave you alone.
The characters befriend and love you and give you tasks to do but if you do not do them, they turn nasty.Ben's high school, Philips High, said in a statement:'A concern has recently been brought to our attention by HM Senior Coroner regarding the use by young people of the online game ‘Doki Doki’, also known as ‘Doki Doki Literature Club’. A concern has been expressed that the game may trigger suicidal thoughts in young people who may be emotionally vulnerable. Please monitor and check your child’s internet use regularly and be mindful of the time spent.'
There is currently a police inquest into Ben's death. Walmsley also claimed that Ben had been frequently awoken at night due to texts from the game's characters. No such function exists in the game. This detail was discussed in a thread on /r/DDLC.
Videos about the controversy were uploaded by users appabend (shown below, left) and FamilyGamerRadio (shown below, right).Search Interest. Oh boy, is it another game that presents itself as cutesy and innocent but holds a deep, poignant meta commentary about video games and their genres? Let me guess.
The main girl(s) is likely aware of the fact that she(they) are in a dating sim visual novel and loathes the fact that she(they) has no free will of her(their) own and that she's(they're) destined to fall in love with MC whether she(they) likes it or not?Call me fucking jaded but I sincerely think I know what this game is without even having seen anything about it but the picture on the steam page. Not bashing on anyone who likes it tho.
