One of the best visual novels of the 2010s. The character designs are very iconic, been a fan of DMmd since I was 12 and I still enjoy the game after 10+ years later. The story and cyberpunk aspects are so enjoyable. Content warning for the bad endings. Also if you want the uncut version you pay $5 on JAST website for the "Steam DLC".

Already played this back in 2014, when there was no official release for english. Now, guys, this is indeed amazing, BUT, sadly censored. Meh. Had to buy the R18 patch off of Jast's site to actually enjoy and have the nostalgia feeling I was going for. Other than that, still a masterpiece to this day. Just don't forget to PATCH before GAME.

You have other, much more lewd games on steam, and you're censoring THIS? Are you kidding me? u pissed me off. The game is very good, though. I played it a long time ago, but not the censored version :')

Yaoi jesus game. Steam version is heavily censored, I recommend buying the DLC from the JAST store, or just buy the base game from the JAST store. (I got DMMD on sale here and the uncensored DLC from JASTusa so overall it was cheaper for me!) I've been wanting to play this game since I watched the show years ago, the show does not COMPARE to how good the game is. I like playing VNs a ton, DMMD is a very high scale, long, amazing quality game imo. The CGs are fantastic, theres so many small details, I could just sit and stare at them for a very long time with how pretty they look. VA is top tier, this is my first 18+ VN that has voice acting so it was definitely a "WOAH HELLO THOSE ARE MOANS YEP" (my actual thoughts) props to those VAs and their skill set in that area The theme songs and soundtracks are good and my favorite ending song by far has to be "Tears". As for character ending. hmm, Noiz was my favorite from the show, but I'd have to say Clear is my favorite good ending. Noiz and Koujaku as a close second. I have yet to play ALL content of the game, currently I will move onto DMMD re:connect, then re:code, I am both excited, and slightly hesitant, to finish all content of this beautiful world! (I am going to feel like a husk for a long time once its over) The Linear notes were a nice read (extra after completing the game) though they did make me feel sad I wasn't able to be part of the fandom when it came out and was fresh :( I hope to continue enjoying content from dmmd no matter how old it becomes, it will always have a very special place in my heart and I will continue to enjoy, and look forward to, other Nitro+CHiRAL games I hope anyone who is reading this, and plays the game, will enjoy it wholeheartedly!

This is the peak of BL games, if you started here it's only downhill. The character designs, their stories and the overall game story are great. It's worth every single replay.
