Yandere-chan (Ayano Aishi) with high sanity (above) and low sanity (below). Performing murder results in loss of sanity, making Yandere-chan look increasingly disturbed and unstable, with the game's graphics and background music also reflecting the change.
The player controls Ayano Aishi (nicknamed Yandere-chan), an apathetic Japanese high school girl who has developed a crush on Taro Yamada, a fellow student nicknamed "Senpai".[6] Over the course of ten weeks, a different girl will fall in love with Taro, becoming a target for Ayano to eliminate. The player has the ability to kidnap, torture, poison, electrocute, matchmake, and drown rivals, befriend other schoolgirls, play small mini games, access a town the player can earn and spend money in, and more.[7][8]
Demo
In 2020, the game's first official demo was released along with Ayano's first rival, Osana Najimi.[9] The timeline for other rivals has not been announced.
1980s Mode
A prequel mode, named "1980s mode" was released in October 2021.[10] This mode is a complete story mode that follows Ayano Aishi's mother, Ryoba Aishi, and follows the same storyline as the main story. The developer has stated that this mode was created to test the games various systems. 1980s Mode features VHS effects and a new complete soundtrack in order to differentiate it from the main story.[11]
Development
Yandere Simulator is developed by YandereDev, a freelance game developer identified as Alex and based in Temecula, California.[12][2] He first pitched the idea on 4chan in 2014, and after receiving positive feedback, decided to begin development.
YandereDev regularly releases test builds of the game for debugging purposes.[13] At first, suggestions and bug reports were accepted by email, but since 2016, he has asked for these emails to not be sent anymore, as they are "slowing down development".[14]
On March 1, 2017, YandereDev announced a partnership with tinyBuild that would help him polish, promote, and publish the game.[15][16] On June 10, 2018, YandereDev announced that the partnership ended with the company in December 2017.[17]
As of October 2022, no official release date for the full game has been announced.
