Doki Doki Literature Club ported to the PSVita and Nintendo Switch – Even odd titles end up being ported as homebrew to our great portable consoles…
If you wanted to try an odd or somewhat unique homebrew on your PSVita or Switch, then look no further as developer ‘LukeZGD’ has ported something worth nothing. This homebrew is called Doki Doki Literature Club and takes you for quite a ride as it starts as a dating simulator but then ends up as something quite twisted…
What is Doki Doki Literature Club?
Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) is a visual novel-style game by Team Salvation which was released around a year ago, in September 2017.
This game, which became quite popular on the internet, starts off as a normal dating simulator without anything weird but as the story progresses, one will notice that there’s something a little off.
As a result, the game’s story starts turning into a psychological horror one as the player must find out what’s really going on behind the seemingly normal behaviour of the four girls of the Literature Club; namely Sayori, Monika, Yuri and Natsuki.
What about the PSVita/Switch port?
The PSVita/Switch port, that initially saw its way to the 3DS, is an unofficial one by developer ‘LukeZGD’ and is called ‘DDLC-3DS’ or ‘DDLC-LOVE’. Unlike the original game, it uses the LÖVE engine which is based around Lua instead of the Ren’Py engine. This means that this isn’t a 1-to-1 port but it still uses the same assets and story-line of the original game in order to mimick it closely.
In terms of features, it has the following:
- A pretty well-made main menu and dialogue scenes with physical button controls
- Background music
- A feature to skip through parts of the game
- Ability to play through all 4 acts of the base game
- Saving and loading your game although the save files may not be compatible between major versions (current version is 0.4.1)
To get this homebrew port, simply follow the link below and grab the appropriate installation file for your platform. It must be noted that the PSVita VPK takes quite a while to install so don’t get worried if VitaShell seems like its taking forever to install DDLC on your system.
Conclusion
If you find any issues, simply report them in the ‘Issues’ tab of the GitHub link below and remember, be patient with installing it on the PSVita! This port isn’t available on VitaDB as it uses on OneLua on the PSVita

Ahh! Holy *** if you, person reading this, haven’t tried this game yet, DO IT
It’s suck a good game! (Note! Pay attention to the warnings in the beginning! They’re serious!)
Mods, please remove the comment above. I didn’t notice a typo I made, so I made a new comment. I guess I should make an account so I could edit in the future, right?
Game really overhyped as heck. Basically moe-*** all the way with a small twist in the end, which does not save the hours over hours of moe-***. I am sure that people who praise DokiDoki never read any average plot-driven VN before .
Yeah, this game sucks, not a typo! Its your heart talking.

It’s such a good game! (Note! Pay attention to the warnings in the beginning! They’re serious!)
So does it also do the creepy thing where you can check where some files are being created based on the route your taking?
Kinda wonder what they gonna do about the ending…
Well, I mean, three people are ended and you don’t have to lift a finger, so that’s half the game?
/s
Yay! Now I can have nightmares again!
That game was so overrated… If you are not a little sensitive *** like almost all of the gaming community, then this game sucks. Boring, no real surprises and tryhard meta… I was very disappointed.
Does this involve Lovecraftian horrors?
It’s a visual story featuring Japanese school girls… tentacles are mandatory.
May you guys should change:
“…as developer ‘LukeZGD’ has ported something worth NOTHING.”
to “noting”? 😉
omg this exactly is what i’m thinking of. i haven’t try this game yet because i’m waiting for this game to come to a mobile device. it’s a suprise that it came to ps vita early than ios or android already. more than i expected. it’s good to experient this game on the go
