DOL is genuinely an insane game to me. you can goon or you can face the eldritch level horrors that exists in the in-game lore. but before any of that, you need to pay life changing amounts of money each week in order not to get slimed by a bunch of grown adults. the guy who demands that money from you is in a shitty forced proximity hate-hate relationship with your sugar parent. said sugar parent is associated with multiple other weird people who run the most morally questionable businesses possible (don’t worry, treating humans like animals is okay but building a skyscraper isn’t!). one of them is a cult leader who hosts furry conventions every four weeks. speaking of cults. twilight is technically possible in the dolverse because vampires are hinted to exist. lovecraft-esque creatures can be made via cult rituals. you get haunted every so often by an apparition that tried to drown you. a gyaru bullies you at school. you can have dinner with pimp lucius. they mayor is an amateur filmmaker. said mayor is actually under the thumb of the guy who demands you to pay him each week. they still use medieval torture devices to punish criminals. the law is practically nonexistent. there’s no such thing as a good ending. and it all happens in a seaside city in the UK. what the fuck.
