What awaits you in DNR

A yandere romance visual novel with three routes and six endings. You play Niko, a patient admitted to hospital for the nth time this year, and three specialists have decided that this admission belongs to them.

01 · EXAM

Three examinations, each with a trap

Sage, Amia, and Robin each look at Niko and each find a reason he should not be discharged. The prologue walks you through all three rooms in order, and the one answer that gives a doctor his opening is also the one that locks you into his route.

02 · THREE

Three specialists, three ways to be kept

Sage is clinical. Amia is warm in a way that costs you. Robin is the optometrist who reads symptoms out loud like a diagnosis and a compliment at the same time. The game is about which one of those you would prefer.

03 · ROUTE

Four chapters, two endings each

Each route is four chapters long, and the writing does not signal which choices matter. The story is short enough that a second run is a reasonable way to see the other side of it.

04 · SIX

Affection or obsession, never on screen

Nothing on screen displays the two counts the game is keeping. The heart and the vials beside the dialogue box are part of the artwork, not a meter. By the final chapter, the obsession total decides which ending you get.

How to play

  1. Press Play to start the prologue. The first launch is around 50 MB, so start it on Wi-Fi.
  2. Read each examination scene in full. The answer that locks a route looks like any other line, so context is the only signal you will get.
  3. Save before any line that changes temperature. The game does not tell you which choices are load-bearing.
  4. Once you have seen an ending, replay that route with a different tone. DNR: Do Not Reciprocate is built to read the player as much as the other way, and a second pass sharpens that.

Frequently asked questions

What is DNR: Do Not Reciprocate?

A yandere romance visual novel with three routes, six endings, and seven story CGs, told from the perspective of Niko, a patient admitted to hospital again. There is no combat or puzzle solving. You read, and at fixed moments you choose how Niko answers the doctor in front of him.

How do routes work?

During each doctor's examination there is one answer that gives them the excuse they were waiting for. Take it and the chapter cuts to that doctor's route. Deflect everyone and the story hands you to Robin by default.

How many endings are there?

Six. Every route resolves into either an affection ending or an obsession ending, and both are fully written scenes with their own illustration.

Is it appropriate for all ages?

No. DNR: Do Not Reciprocate is intended for mature audiences and includes medical malpractice, drugging, forced procedures, hypnosis, and the possessive behaviour the genre is named for. The obsession endings lean hardest into those themes.
