The first portion of the game involves the player attempting to woo his interest while trying to prepare for an upcoming school festival. From here, the player has opportunities via poem mini games to romance the three members of the club available to romance, including the aforementioned Sayori, the shy bookworm Yuri, and the brash and dumber Natsuki.Club President Monika is not an option to be romanced, due to circumstances laid out further in the synopsis. The player reluctantly joins after being cajoled with a cupcake. The plot involves the player assuming the role of a typical nerdy anime and manga obsessed student who meets their childhood friend Sayori who wants him to join the Literature Club with her, when it’s noted that the player character has never joined an after school club.

The game was released in late 2017, and was lauded by the liberal worldly video game establishment media. Salvato made sure to note that all the girls in his game are aged 18 so that people could overlook the violent and sexual content. Development of the game began when Team Salvato founder Dan Salvato wanted to create a visual novel that was provocative and different from typical fare that involves pornography and other anime tropes popularized by serial sexual pedo perverts in Japan.
