I have watched gameplays of the side stories and played till Act 1 on DDLC but I cry very easily and cried at the end of Act 1. I am also triggered easily and DDLC is a horror game. How do I play it without getting triggered or anything? :(

Why do you want to get into a horror game in the first place, if you don’t handle horror games well? I don’t see how that could work, as shocking and horrifying the player is kind of the whole point of the game.
I disagree on the “shocking” part here. DDLC is psychological horror. It does have shocking moments, like the end of Act 1, but this is not the main point. It is way more about relationships than about shock moments. Sadly discussing that part of the game (the later acts…) is massive spoiler territory, so I’ll stop here.
The fact remains though, that it is a horror game, and if the end of Act 1 is already too much, then sorry, but it is only going to get worse. A lot worse. (Or, if you enjoy psychological horror: Better. A lot better.)
This. Games don’t need to be for everyone’s tastes, and often aren’t.
If the story is interesting, then consider watching a playthrough instead.
It also depends on the game too. I’m one of those people who hate horror tag to the guts but there are a couple games I was able to play and DDLC was one of them (The other was Neverending Nightmares).
Currently evaluating to play Needy Streamer Overload but my friends say don’t. :)
My partner played Needy Streamer Overload and loved it lol. Not sure what that means for you, but I guess any game’s worth the two hour demo that Steam gives you at least.
I might like it if it’s kinda similar to DDLC as in horror aspect. According to HLTB, one playthrough is ~2 hours, so probably won’t go that way, since I succeeded to stayed spoiler-free until now.
For some reason, I don’t see psychological horror as pure horror. At least I can tolerate it at some point, most likely not all though. :)
