Yandere Simulator



"''"After all, at its core, Yandere Simulator is a horror game. Where you are the monster...""

- YandereDev

A game in which you are a Yandere and must eliminate rivals for senpai's affection. Created by YandereDev as a Stealth Based Game, the goal is eliminate all rivals for the affection of a boy your character likes while keeping everyone ignorant of it.

It is still in development, with a planned crowd-funding effort in the making. Old builds, which are not representative of the final game, can be downloaded on this archive blog.

The game is currently PC only, though Mac and Linux builds are possibilities for the future.

Final Game
""Yandere-chan will confess her love to Senpai when the time is right, once all of her rivals are eliminated. Until then... Don't. Let Senpai. Notice you.""
 * A Date with Rosie Palms: One of the ways to regain sanity is to use a picture of senpai. I wonder what she's doing with that picture...
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: It's possible for Yandere-chan to mercilessly wipe out her targets without anyone suspecting that someone as innocent or normal as her could have done it.
 * Bullying a Dragon:
 * Gossiping about Yandere-chan is a very bad idea.
 * The game won't let you gossip about Info-chan.
 * Bi the Way: Senpai can be a female.
 * Censor Steam: When someone is naked, the stream covers only their private parts.
 * Compensated Dating: Some of the girls are involved in this activity. Yandere-chan can use the info to ruin their reputation.
 * Covert Pervert: Implied for some of the guys (and girls) in the school. Info-chan's panty-shot photos are popular for a reason.
 * Creepy Monotone: Yandere-chan's completely tortured victims will speak in this manner.
 * Dirty Business: A Hero Antagonist of the lore does this.
 * Daylight Horror: Yandere-chan can do all sorts of horrible crimes on a normal school day.
 * Dies Wide Open: Students who are poisoned, electrocuted or killed in a struggle.
 * The Dragon: Info-chan is a sociopathic Knowledge Broker. Get panty shots for her and you can access "favors," an important part of the gameplay.
 * Driven to Suicide: You can bully a student so hard that he or she kills him- or herself.
 * Emotionless Girl: Yandere-chan's backstory implies that she was this, until she saw Senpai.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Info-chan won't buy panty shots of dead students.
 * Evil Laugh: If you commit a murder you lose sanity. Giving a evil laugh calms you down.
 * First-Name Basis: Ryoba's darling starts calling her by her first name shortly after they start talking for the first time. Isn't it romantic?
 * Generation Xerox: Ryoba Aishi, Yandere-chan's mother, is not only stated to look like an adult Yandere-chan, according to Word of God.
 * It Was Here, I Swear: You can clean up a murder between when it is spotted and when a teacher shows up. The teacher scolds the student for "playing a prank".
 * Japanese Delinquents: One rival will display this type of behaviour and appearance.
 * Karma Houdini:
 * Make It Look Like an Accident: If you poison someone's food, it is assumed that the person choked on his or her food, as long as you don't try to dispose of the body.
 * Murder the Hypotenuse: It wouldn't be complete without this. Perhaps surprisingly, you don't need to kill your rivals to eliminate them.
 * Parental Abandonment: Yandere-chan's parents are nowhere to be found. It's temporary (story wise) because they're on business in America. In practice they are going to be gone for pretty much if not flat out the entire game.
 * Police Are Useless: Subverted. The police would suspect and arrest Yandere-chan if there's too much evidence implicating her out in the open.
 * Reality Ensues: Trying kill a teacher without the proper method or the right skills is a guaranteed way for Yandere-chan to have her ass apprehended. Likewise, simply going about murdering everyone on sight won't just send your sanity down rock-bottom, but would also make the game a lot more difficult.
 * Romance Sidequest: Averted. That's not the point of the game, according to Word of God.


 * Sanity Slippage: If you let your sanity go too low, Yandere-chan begins to visibly twitch and lunge about like a deranged killer.
 * Scary Shiny Glasses: Info-chan.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Yandere-chan has a rather deep obsession with Senpai, to the point of having a full-fledged shrine on her bedside dedicated to him. Whether she can be blatant about that or mask it as much as possible is up to you.
 * Villain with Good Publicity:
 * Yandere: Duh.

Builds and Development Videos
""Gee, you're right, green-haired girl. It's time for me to get back to what I'm good at... murdering schoolgirls in horrific ways.""
 * Dissonant Serenity: YandereDev talks about the gruesome and disturbing features of the game in a soothing voice.
 * During his first e-mail-related video:

""As you can see, our prisoner is no longer watching us as we move around the room, and she's no longer twitching either. This is because we have completely destroyed her mind. There are no traces of a human left inside of her. She's permanently broken, forever. ...Let's bring her to school!""
 * On his October 17th 2015 update video:

"(While eerie music is playing) "They exist purely so that you can test a gameplay feature. There is no more meaning to their existence. (Music stops) Oh, and by the way, [...]""
 * Japanese Delinquents: "Bancho Mode", part of the Easter Eggs, gives Yandere-chan a Commissar Cap and arm-wrappings, what sukeban typically wear.
 * Obvious Beta: The game is still very much a work-in-progress and YandereDev makes it clear with each update that there are several features and improvements yet to be implemented. Probably the most obvious examples are the club leader's that are just place holders, introduced in the Febuary 1st 2016 update. YandereDev out right stated that "these vacant, empty, hollow husks" are place holders and won't react to murders that happen right in front of them. Furthermore they are all identical and are completely devoid of any personality. All they do is let you join their respective club.
