There are a hundred, nay, a thousand different ways to make a burger, and most of them come from Bob Belcher. But I prefer to think of certain games, especially otome titles, as an exercise in hamburgers.
Fans like to look at Doki Doki Literature Clubas an example of taking the game and flipping the meta to make a psychological tour de force that isn’t easily forgotten. When you look at visual novels that focus on romantic angles, there’s been this sort of overly dramatic focus in trying to break new ground and craft audacious scenarios. The reason is that you don’t need to be innovative or drastically different as long as what you’re doing appeases the fanbase in the right way. Romantic comedies take a lot of flack in the movie community, and yet they continue to fill theaters and generate blu-ray sales each and every season.
