Doki Doki Literature Club! OST - Play With Me

From the Doki Doki Literature Club OST.

[DavidGraham]

I'm getting flashbacks to Natsuki's jumpscare

[StarSonata]

Maybe i could play this on the kindergarten to set up the mood for the kids.

[babymetalic]

"Why won't you play with me?"
*neck crack*

[Mnstrnrgy-zrut]

Whenever I'm at school, this song plays in my head-

[ethandavidson]

You can already tell from the cover of the game that Monika is offering her loving hand to you, Sayori is of course super exited to see you, Natsuki is silently judging this “new member”, and Yuri is shy but still curious enough to look at you while maintaining her reclusive nature.

[NoNumbersAfterName]

0.75: Yuri Speed
1.00: Monika Speed
1.25: Natsuki Speed
1.50: Sayori Speed

[thefanficfanpony]

The song of impending doom. Why?
- Plays before Yuri's eye jumpscare.
- Plays while Yuri stabs herself.
- (A slower version) plays while Yuri's corpse decays.
- Plays for Natsuki's neck-breaking jumpscare.
- Plays during Natsuki's mouth going all realistic.
- Mainly features a piano as the leading instrument.

*PLAY WITH ME* *_-Forcefully Turns my head 90°-_*

[ririisawesome]

The instruments I can hear and who played it (I'm not 100% sure):

Monika = Piano
Natsuki = Xylophone
Yuri = Violin
Sayori = Flute

[imthebossmermaid]

Fun fact, this song was originally written for Yuri's cutscenes specifically, but became the general cutscene music because Dan didn't have time to compose music for Sayori and Natsuki. Which is why her theme is an alternate version of this song. Interesting. The more ya know! 🤗

[hypethekomodo]

This song has been stuck in my head ever since I completed the game.

...It's too fitting.

[SuperFireman]

You know a game is supremely effective at what it does when it puts you on edge from what sounds like a very playful song.

[zslwikp]

I’m gonna spend all weekend listening to this song. It’s great.

[smokinglemon]

"Just play with me instead."
"It's all i have."
"Play with me."

"PLAY WITH ME!"

[depresespres]

The piano. Be afraid when you hear it.

[kxz]

My dad would beat the shit out of me if he found out I played this

[matthewbaang]

I like how almost everyone of the ddlc songs could literally set you on edge just be adjusting the speed or a note. Like, imagine if you forgot to turn off 0.25 speed when you listen to this. It just gives you massive Vietnam war flashbacks

[akanime_chan]

0:56 - 1:23
This part summons a nostalgia I didn't even know existed

[ErikTheCleric]

Every time I hear those first 4 notes on the main piano, I get war flashbacks of Yuri with a knife in her hands

[Emi_Yokan]

0:04 Distorted music + Yuri's face = nightmare
