Yandere Simulator§[working title] is an indie stealth game for PC, made in the Unity engine by Alex "YandereDev" Mahan. Its protagonist is a high-school girl, the titular "Yandere-chan" (real name Ayano "Yan-chan" Aishi), who until recently was incapable of experiencing emotion until she met her "Senpai" Taro/Taeko Yamada, the first person in her life to actually make her feel something. Addicted to the new emotions her Senpai stirred in her, she developed an obsession with him (or her) at first sight. Unfortunately, Senpai is starting to get pretty popular at school, leading Ayano to dispose of her romantic rivals in any way possible.Work on the game began in April 2014, with the first notable public build appearing in January 2015note (the 2014-era builds are proof-of-concept prototypes with no gameplay at all and were not intended to be widely shared), the free demo, which introduces the first rival Osana Najimi, was released on August 31st, 2020 to promote the a planned crowdfunding campaign to fund the full version. On October 10, 2021, 1980s Mode was released to show proof of concept of eliminating 10 rivals. Along with this, plans for a crowdfunding campaign were dropped in favor of a "live service" model: players were encouraged to donate to his Patreon to fund continued development. Periodic updates tracking the game's progress were made on his development blog.In September 2023, allegations against YandereDev of grooming a minor were brought forward, something that he would apologize for. Many volunteers and voice actors working with the game, including Michaela Laws (who voiced Ayano and several others) plus Austin Hively (who played Senpai and Jokichi), have pulled out of the game's development and cut ties with YandereDev in response.Please note that, as this is a game still in development, things can and often do change radically with subsequent updates.The official website, which has a link to any current builds, can be found here. | |

Flaming Sword | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_10dafb12 | comment |
Flaming Sword: Downplayed as it's a knife rather than a sword. If you heat up the ritual knife with a blowtorch and put it in the skull in the Occult Club's room, the Flame Demon will offer Yan-chan "a taste of [his] power" by setting the knife on fire. Stabbing people with the burning knife will set them on fire, causing them to burn to death. | |

Arc Symbol | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: The SAIKOU Corp logo. It shows up everywhere, from computers to radios to Yan-chan's phone and even a cardboard box. It's also part of Akademi High's logo, so it appears on the girls' swimsuits and the boys' uniform buttons. Also, cherry blossom petals. They're everywhere in this game, and they're a both a symbol of love and of the impermanence of life — two themes that are central to Yandere Simulator's story. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: This is a game about killing. Well, it can be a game about killing. It doesn't really have to be, but most players choose to murder the other students. However, it's not played completely straight. Senpai zig-zags this. He is not killable during normal gameplay, mostly because Ayano becomes a Shrinking Violet whenever she gets within a yard of himnote (for most of the game's development, his aura was 2m [~6'7"], but it was halved in early 2017 due to the difficulty of walking through tight spaces when he's around). He still has the same hitbox as any other male student, though, and you can kill him in certain Easter Egg modes, but he just magically comes back to life the next day. This video implies that Senpai will be killable in the final game; however, thus far, it's only possible in SNAP Mode. Teachers are killable once you've leveled up your P.E. stat enough. Delinquents can also be fought and killed with high enough stats. Averted with the school counsellor, whose job is to punish Ayano for minor infractions or expel your rivals for larger ones – she is explicitly stated to be unkillable. Indeed, her model lacks a hitbox. Info-chan is also unkillable. She's easy enough to find – in the Info Club room (natch), which is locked from the inside – but players who have glitched in there have discovered that she has no hitbox either. Akademi's Headmaster was not in the game for a very long time, and it was assumed by fans that he would never appear outside maybe a cutscene. But YanDev changed his mind and said this… A piece of art featuring the Headmaster released shortly thereafter showed him brandishing a taser. The guy also keeps a katana in a case next to his desk. Yeah, Yan-chan ain't winning that fight. When the Headmaster was actually added to the game, it was revealed that he will tase Yandere-chan (resulting in a Game Over) if she approaches him or stays in his room too long. You can't even get close enough to attack him because he's been on to you from the beginning. Other than these few exceptions, you can quite literally kill anyone in the game. There are no exceptions for characters who are relevant to the plot. If you kill a character who is required for a certain mechanic, cutscene, or lore dump, then that thing just doesn't happen. You can lock yourself out of whole chunks of the game by killing people unnecessarily. As the Dev says, "Taking someone's life should have consequences." | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: Downplayed. It's one of the weapons available in the game, and people who do playthroughs of the debug builds often choose it. There is a bit of Awesome, but Impractical to it, however, since Ayano cannot hide it in her inventory and has to carry it in plain sight unless she hides it in a cello case, a weapon bag or trash can. Also, the katana, like all two-handed weapons, is considered an "unsuitable" weapon for the struggle minigame, meaning you automatically lose if a heroic student or a teacher intercepts you while you're carrying it. In addition, the Katana leaves bloodstains on Ayano's uniform and the ground should she use it to kill someone, which is not the case for other two-handed weapons (with the only other exception being the axe). Finally, you cannot give a katana to a mindslavenote (anymore; earlier builds allowed you to, but doing so resulted in severe clipping issues – the katana would already be through the mindslave's head before she stabbed herself with it). | |

Goodbye, Cruel World!: Yan-chan can plant a fake one by her rival's shoes if her language skill is high enough. Doing so will prevent the police from viewing the death as suspicious. | |

Escort Distraction | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_12f62281 | comment |
Escort Distraction: Making friends or having a high seduction stat allows you to ask this of other students. Asking a student to "Distract" another character causes the student to pull the other character into a conversation about romance, clearing the way for whatever illegal activities Yandere-chan might need to perform in that area. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The very earliest builds of the game had this. Blood was implemented in July 2014, three months after development began. Killing someone with a blunt non-concealable weapon (ie katana and axe do not qualify) such as the baseball bat or the shovel will leave blood on the weapon, but will not generate any pools of blood nor leave bloodstains on Ayano, though this is to give them an advantage over weapons that can be hidden. | |

Hero Antagonist: There are many people in the game who would love to bring a murderer to justice. This includes the Photography Club, the teachers, anyone with a Heroic persona, any personal enemies Yan-chan makes, and the Journalist from the tapes (though he's more the Hero Antagonist Of Another Story). | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: To the extreme — until early 2019, every character in the game had the exact same face. In February 2019, after years of YandereDev assuring us that this would change, it finally did. However, the "new" faces are still modifications of the original face, now with differently shaped eyes and mouths in additions to the different eye colors they had before. | |

Artistic License – Biology: YandereDev has admitted that the "Burning" elimination would actually take longer in real life than it does in the game (several hours versus a few seconds of gameplay). However, it was necessary to speed things up for the sake of the player. | |

Female students will strip nude (though they appear wrapped in a towel) in the locker room before bathing. Yan-chan can too… and go on a Full-Frontal Assault. Or at least she could; as of June 2018, it is no longer possible to leave the locker room while nude. It is unknown whether a more elegant solution will be put in place before the final game. | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: A meta-example. YandereDev once claimed that development was being slowed down by the torrents of dumb emails he had to read. This was actually done to discourage the primarily-younger fans from clogging his inbox, but it ended up causing people to think he does absolutely nothing but respond to emails all day, and even increased the amount of said stupid emails. He later clarified that the emails aren't actually a problem for the game's development. | |

A Lighter Shade of Black | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_19fc58a2 | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Black: The Delinquents. They're trouble-making bullies who try to goad people into fighting with them, but if they see you hurt someone, they'll beat you senseless. Ayano can be this as well, if the player opts to eliminate her rivals non-lethally. One example from the debug builds: taking the "Friendship" route with test-rival Kokona requires kidnapping the daughter of a loan shark and using her as blackmail to get Kokona's family's debt forgiven. Say what you will about Yan-chan's motives and methods; she still saved Kokona's father – and probably dozens of other people – from crippling debt and danger, and also saved Kokona from needing to prostitute herself to help her father. And now that Osana has been released as of August 31st, 2020, the "Befriend" route with Osana is also a lighter shade of black: Ayano just has to sneak into Osana's stalker's house and take back Osana's cat from him, with no violence required, and nobody innocent being affected because the stalker is very clearly a bad person. | |

Lord British Postulate | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492 | comment |
Lord British Postulate: Rival-chan, as an early design of Osana, was created solely to test out the red rival aura, and has no AI or hitbox. Naturally, she was the target of a lot of attempted violence. YandereDev has made two videos spoofing players' repeated attempts to kill her, titled "The Indestructible Rival." Averted with the fully implemented Rival-chan, who is now a character named Raibaru, and serves as Osana's best friend and unofficial bodyguard. While she is extremely difficult to eliminate, Word of God states that she can be killed if you play your cards right. Before the (killable) finished Delinquents were added in 2018, players tried everything they could think of to kill the Placeholder Delinquents. Unfortunately for them, "invincible" means invincible. The Headmaster has also been the target of a lot of murder attempts, despite the fact that not only does he not have a hitbox, but he zaps you unconscious with a tazer if you get too close to him. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: In 1980's Mode, although it's downplayed in that the same ending will happen either way with one exception. After eliminating the final rival, Ryoba is arrested for Sumire's murder just before she confesses her feelings for Jokichi. At her trial, there are seven ranks the player can get depending on their actions throughout the game. The more innocent you seem to the judge, the higher your rank will be. Rank F: Ryoba aroused so much suspicion that she's declared guilty for the murder(s) she committed. This is the only ending where a guilty verdict happens. Rank D: Ryoba barely manages to avoid a guilty verdict and is regarded with suspicion for the rest of her life. Rank C: Ryoba avoided a guilty verdict, but her reputation still takes a massive hit. Rank B: Public opinion is split 50/50 on whether or not Ryoba is a killer and as such, many people prefer to avoid her. Rank A: Nearly everyone is convinced that Ryoba is innocent, but there are still a few people who doubt her. Rank S: Nobody has any reason to suspect that Ryoba might be a killer. Rank S+: The true ending. To get this, eliminate the rivals using the canonical methods and acquire Rank S. In all cases except Rank F, Ryoba walks free, but is absolutely furious since Jokichi will see her as the girl that was accused of murder on live television and fears that he will reject her because of it. She considers going after the Journalist and decides not to, opting instead to lay low and wait for the attention to go away. With no foreseeable way to confess her love to Jokichi, she resorts to kidnapping him and locking him in her basement, saying that he'll "warm up to her" soon enough. The "Happy" Ending: Only possible through a time paradox, if Ryoba calls the number of Ichikou Saikou (a number she shouldn't canonically know until 1990, but possible to find out in 20xx mode through a discarded letter), she's able to talk to FUN GIRL who tells her how to get her happy ending. Use a stink bomb to drive Ui away so she doesn't witness Ryoba acting suspicious and get away with murdering Sumire, then peacefully eliminate the first nine rivals and woo Jokichi with gifts. The tenth rival won't appear at all and Ryoba will be brave enough to confess to Jokichi. Again, though, this was only able to be possible by breaking the timeline and Ryoba had to literally sacrifice Ayano's existence to do it, so it's obviously non-canon. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Teachers are easily capable of outrunning a base-stat Ayano, so triggering one to pursue her will bring about an inevitable detainment and game over (if you have no single-handed weapon, that is; if you do, then the same rules governing Martial Artists apply). Turning on the incinerator (which locks it for an hour in-game – ten minutes real-time) without disposing of the murder weapon or bloody uniform note (puddles of blood and random corpses do not link the murder to Yan-chan – these pieces of evidence instead negatively affect school atmosphere rather than rendering the game unwinnable) first, while the five-minute police countdown is in action, does this. Antagonizing a delinquent (by murdering someone in front of them or letting them see you with a corpse/body-part) inevitably leads to Yan-chan getting beaten into a coma. While in normal circumstances, they are content to beat her up and let her go, if they see her true nature, they will keep attacking her until she is down. Attacking Raibaru or anyone else in front of her by any means will only result in her apprehending you after breaking your arm multiple times to ensure that she does. Even most 'underhanded methods' such as stealth attacks and distractions will not work on her. | |

The Rival | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
Raibaru Fumetsu — Budo's mentor and Osana's unofficial bodyguard — takes this up to eleven. Any attempt to attack Raibaru, murder someone in her presence, or carry a corpse past her will end with Ayano firmly pinned to the ground and her arm broken in at least two places. Her Strength stat is listed as 9 (higher than any other student in school), and bumping up another student's stats to match hers will give them the same abilities. | |

Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1c8d6c07 | comment |
Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: Ayano plays with this trope in that she didn't know (or care) Senpai was that popular. Other rivals might be the same way. Actually, Senpai isn't popular at the start of the game, though the attention he gets from girls as the game progresses changes that status. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Should Yan-chan kill five students with the burning ritual knife and place their corpses in the summoning circle, the Flame Demon will grant her the ability to shoot fire out of her hands. Be warned, though: passing through the Placeholder Delinquents' line-of-sight while in this mode triggers them to attack you. | |

Villain Song | |

Villain Song: . Yan-chan got two official ones for the 2015 holiday season: "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder" and "Yandere-chan is Coming to Town" (the latter courtesy of Ayano's own voice actress). There's also "Senpai Notice Me", which was given approval by YanDev (he and Midori have a dialogue at the end of the video). In February 2017, three of the game's voice actresses*(Michaela Laws [Ayano], Brittany Lauda [Osana], and Caitlyn "Mom0ki" Myers [Midori]) got together and made this, a glorious parody of the "Epic Rap Battles" series. | |

Japanese School Club | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1e0e8f80 | comment |
Japanese School Club: Akademi High has 12 known clubs, 11 of which Ayano can join†(the club she cannot join is the Info Club, which is Info-chan's "club of one"), which grant her either a passive benefit or access to an item that is otherwise unobtainable or would invite a harsh penalty if a non-member is seen with it. However, there are many ways to lose these benefits permanently, such as… Quitting the club – Yan-chan cannot rejoin a club she's left. The club shutting down for lack of members.note Because Yan-chan killed or abducted them. The club shutting down because its leader dies or disappears.note Courtesy of Yan-chan. Being kicked out for lack of attendance. Being kicked out (or denied entry at all) because a member saw Yan-chan kill someone. | |

Late for School | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_1eefabd2 | comment |
Late for School: How the game started in the original intro. As befitting the cliché, in the game proper, you can give Yan-chan a slice of toast constantly hanging from her mouth... or if that's not enough, an entire toaster. There's also a "No Running In the Halls" poster at school that features an anime girl with a piece of toast in her mouth. Being late for class will affect the number of Study Points you can obtain. The later Yan-chan is, the fewer points she'll get for the class. You'll also get special lines from the teachers. If you stay up late reading manga or take time in the morning to torture a kidnap victim, you'll arrive at school an hour later than normal. Class has not started at that point, so you can still get full Study Points, but you will have missed any scripted events that take place during that hour. ExampleIn the earlier debug builds, Kokona (the test rival) receives the phone call that clues you in to her Compensated Dating during this hour. On a different day, she goes off to the toilet alone during this hour. It's also the only time period she'll leave her phone unattended, so you can steal it and take a panty shot to get her expelled. In some builds, this hour is the only one where she'll break her path and go to the roof to talk to you about her supposed domestic abuse (at which point you can either push her off to fake her suicide or talk to her to learn the full story). | |

All Crimes Are Equal | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_211eedd | comment |
All Crimes Are Equal: Before the guidance counselor was implemented in the October 14, 2018 build, disrupting class, laughing evilly, and murdering a student in broad daylight all brought the same punishment if a teacher caught you — instant expulsion. This was mainly because the other punishments weren't programmed in yet. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: In the debug builds before March 2019, NPCs did not notice puddles of blood. So if you dragged a corpse out of sight before a teacher got there, she'd assume the student who alerted her to the murder was playing a prank… even if she was looking at a massive trail of blood leading right to you and the corpse. (You'd still get the five-minute timer to clean up the scene if another student managed to contact the cops, though, and they would notice any blood puddles you failed to mop up.) Dismemberment was implemented in early 2016, but was only done halfway. As a result, until March 2019, NPCs did not react to dismembered body parts unless Yan-chan carried one within their cone of vision (at which point they would react as if they'd seen her carrying a corpse). At the end of the day, a teacher would notice a "blood stain" and call the cops, but they didn't notice the body parts either. The reason for this was that individual body parts are not coded as a corpse, and what programming they did have at the time was slipshod at best. For the first several builds after Dismemberment was added, a clean and sane Yan-chan could literally walk into the middle of a group of students (or her classroom) carrying a severed head and no one would bat an eye. If you kill someone and take a photo (or several) of the scene, but get rid of any physical evidence tying you to the deed, the cops won't check your phone. Early on in development, YandereDev stated that incriminating photos would eventually get you in trouble, but it hasn't been mentioned in a while, making it unclear whether this will actually be added. Until April 2019, the police didn't check dead students' phones either. (After April 2019, you now have to destroy a dead student's phone if they've taken an incriminating picture of you.) Yan-chan will not be suspected for poisoning a student… even if she is practically standing on top of the corpse, laughing like a madwoman, when it is discovered. (Instead, she'll be sent to the guidance counselor for "acting like a clown" — the same thing that happens any time you are Laughing Mad in front of a teacher.) Averted if you try to drag the poisoned corpse away after a teacher sees it. She will (correctly) assume that Yan-chan committed murder and give chase. Students in a high atmosphere school are not particularly observant, often failing to notice that Yan-chan is armed or hear a victim's screams unless they're very close by. This is, of course, realistic, as without any reason to believe otherwise, most people assume that they're perfectly safe at school. Averted in low atmosphere, where students become more observant as paranoia sets in, gaining larger cones of vision and noticing screams from further away. They will even turn around if they hear you behind them, as low atmosphere setting in means that the whole school is aware that there's a serial killer on the loose. | |

Ambiguously Human | |

Ambiguously Human: Played with in-game regarding the Basu sisters – they are rumored to be a succubus and vampire, yet their Student Info profiles state that "only a fool would believe something like that".note Occult Club leader and rival Oka Ruto does believe it, so make of that what you will. Further ExplanationWord of God says that the line about the contact lenses in their Student Info profile was so that people wouldn't think they were "monsters in disguise" because of their eyes, which implies that they're meant to be normal girls. This is supported by them being just as easy to kill as any other student. However, this doesn't explain their names, or that Sakyu looks nearly identical to Dracula-chan, the Big Bad of Yanvania. | |

The delinquents, who normally avert this (and will beat Yan-chan into a coma if they see her killing someone), play it straight if they witness Yan-chan murder one of the bullies, who in the past, bullied them to the point of considering a suicide pact before becoming delinquents to protect themselves. We don't yet know what exactly they did — only that it was responsible for their facial scars and Gaku's broken arm. If the delinquents see a bully killed, they will respond like a Spiteful student. | |

You can cause any of your classmates to commit suicide if you damage their reputation sufficiently through malicious gossip.

Schedule Fanatic | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_22f06704 | comment |
Schedule Fanatic: YandereDev has a tendency to be one, trying his best for nearly three years to release updates to his game on the first and fifteenth of each month, along with an update video (plus critical bug-fixes in between). He didn't always succeed. His desire yet inability to keep to his self-imposed deadlines were the direct cause of his email-related rants in 2015 and early 2016. Slower than expected progress on Osana into 2017 nearly caused him to crack from stress and led him into a partnership with tinyBuild, which was later terminated because — you guessed it! — they were slowing him down. He took two-week breaks in Fall 2015 and Fall 2016 (both times to play new video games), but admitted a bit of guilt over doing so – he released a bug fix during his 2016 "vacation". He felt slightly less guilty over taking a week off in Summer 2016 to go to Anime Expo, as he got to meet fans of his game. In September 2019, he took another vacation, and again expressed guilt about it. It was two days long. So what should you email him about? (1) If you've encountered a bug in the most recent build of the game and can explain to him how to reliably reproduce it. (2) You want to help with the game and have the résumé/CV/portfolio to prove your usefulness – the game's website has a list of areas where help is most needed. (3) You want to show him your fanwork (he likes seeing fanart and cosplay photos). Other than that, best to leave him alone or he'll get very crabby very quickly. The website's "Contact" page has a very useful (and entertaining) guide on when to email Yanderedev. That is, if you list your reason for contacting him as something you're not supposed to, the normally lurid pink website will turn blood red, the heart designs floating in the background will turn into broken hearts, and a drawing of Yan-chan will appear brandishing a knife in full yandere mode with the text "YOU DIDN'T LISTEN!" | |

Tampering with Food and Drink | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2317bc85 | comment |
Tampering with Food and Drink: The player has the ability to poison a rival's food to get them out of your (and Senpai's) hair. As a bonus, when a student gets a teacher to examine the scene, they call an ambulance rather than the police, keeping Ayano free of suspicion unless she tries to move the body. The game also contains emetic, sedative, and headache-causing poisons. By distracting a student during lunchtime, you can tamper with any student's lunch. Lethal poison is lethal; emetic poison causes the student to run to the bathroom and vomit; sedative causes the student to go to the nurse's office to take a nap; and headache poison causes the student to go to the nurse's office to ask for medicine. In gameplay terms, the emetic and sedative are two non-lethal ways to remove a witness from the area. (Emetic poison also forces a student to go to the bathroom, which is usually fairly secluded and offers various ways to drown someone.) The headache poison causes the nurse to unlock the cabinet with the headache medicine inside... which also contains a tranquilizer, which Yandere-chan needs to kidnap a student. If she's quick, she can steal the tranq while the poisoned student is being treated. | |

Ascended Fanboy: Borderline example: A fan going by the handle "kgftbz" created a mod that allows the player to pose different characters. YandereDev found out about it and loved the idea so much he added his own "Pose Mode" to the game in mid-October 2016. He credits "kgftbz" in this update video. Qvajangel, the 3D modeler who replaced Druelbozo, was a fan who sent in some of his hair models and ended up being commissioned to work on the game. Some of the 2D artists whose work appears in Dev's videos got his attention through creating fanart. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: As the debug builds are made just to test out features and check for bugs, they have no win condition. The ostensible win condition, "kill or otherwise deter all 10 rivals and win Senpai's heart", can be started but not finished, as only your first rival, Osana Najimi, appears in the game as of August 31st, 2020.note The debug builds have, over their course, contained a couple of "test rivals" or other characters who have some attributes of a rival, but none of them have been official rivals, and even if you kill the test rival, the Friday cutscene still states that your (currently only Osana) rival confessed to Senpai unimpeded. But as of the current build, you can at least get a new cutscene featuring Amai if you eliminate Osana. | |

Pummeling the Corpse: When Yan-chan is killing someone with the low-sanity killing animation, mashing the attack button makes the last portion of the animation loop. For example… Yan-chan pounds away at the victim's head with a baseball bat (or other large blunt weapons). Yan-chan repeatedly stabs the katana (or other large bladed weapons) through the victim's belly. Yan-chan continues dragging the circular saw through the victim's ribs. | |

Karma Meter | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: A Reputation gauge measures how others think of Yan-chan. Complimenting other students, giving them food if you join the Cooking Club, and calling in favors from Info-chan can improve it, thus allowing you to earn your fellow students' trust; being caught doing suspicious things like brandishing weapons, taking up-skirt photos, laughing like a madwoman, committing murder, or skipping class can harm your reputation. This also extends to every student in the game. It is possible to trash-talk your classmates and rivals (though doing so hurts your own reputation if you don't counter it) to the point that they stop coming to school. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Senpai. Granted, he seems the oblivious fool at times, but imagine the story told from a different perspective – A young man has led a blessed life. He has a best friend he's known since childhood, a little sister who clearly thinks the world of him, he attends a prestigious academy at which he seems to excel, and has the tendency to make friends wherever he goes. For some strange reason, they're mostly women, but that's not a problem. Then one day, those friends start disappearing, or they ditch him without explanation, or they die. Even the sister who loved nothing more than sticking to him like velcro. To top it all off, it's starting to feel like somebody's stalking him. | |

Girly Girl | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_28a65154 | comment |
Raibaru Fumetsu, Osana's best friend, is the founder and former president of the Martial Arts Club. She may look like a cutesy Girly Girl with her Girlish Pigtails, pink scrunchies, and friendly demeanor, but if you attack her — or commit murder in front of her — she will tackle you to the ground and break your arm, resulting in an instant and unavoidable Game Over. In addition to being incredibly strong, she has lightning-fast reflexes, and will sense a sneak attack coming and easily dodge a bucket trap. Rumor is that she can even fight off a mindslave. She is incredibly badass. | |

Hereditary Curse: Every woman of the Aishi family is born without the ability to feel any emotions whatsoever. Until, that is, they meet a man who they become increadibly emotionally attached to. From then on, their one and only focus in life is to posess that man by any means necessary. Whether he is willing or not. | |

Using an Easter Egg like Falcon Mode or One Punch Mode on someone will send them flying (their bodies will be grossly contorted for a couple of frames the instant the punch connects).

Hidden Badass: The teachers. They're easy for new players to underestimate; they look like normal, if a bit nerdy, bespectacled women. But not only can they expel you if they catch you acting yandere, but if you try to attack them with the wrong weapon or poor physical stats, they'll dodge the attack and have you pinned to the ground in a matter of seconds. | |

Plot Armor | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2a44899 | comment |
Other than these few exceptions, you can quite literally kill anyone in the game. There are no exceptions for characters who are relevant to the plot. If you kill a character who is required for a certain mechanic, cutscene, or lore dump, then that thing just doesn't happen. You can lock yourself out of whole chunks of the game by killing people unnecessarily. As the Dev says, "Taking someone's life should have consequences." | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Torturing a captured student enough will turn them into a mindless slave that can be commanded to zero in on your current rival and kill her before committing suicide, without anyone suspecting you. Mindslaves are inhumanly strong due to a lack of self-preservation instinct, meaning that only the strongest rivals can fight back against them — so a mindslave is very much a trump card. The problem is, making someone into a mindslave is incredibly difficult. In order to kidnap a student, you need a syringe with tranquilizer. In order to steal one without the Nurse spotting you, you need to distract her by non-lethally poisoning a student, which requires leveling up your Chemistry stat, and then steal it from the cabinet while her back is turned (In the main game) or get a lockpick from the Yakuza or craft one yourself and use it when the Nurse isn't looking (In 1980s mode). You then have to level up your Biology so that you can use it properly (otherwise you will end up killing the student with the syringe). Finally, you have to either befriend your chosen victim (which requires doing a task for them) or level up your Seduction stat to the maximum, so they trust you enough to follow you into the storage room inside the gym. Only then can you tranquilize them and stash them in the crate to be picked up later. Once you've kidnapped them, you then have to miss whole days of school in order to make their sanity drop by any sizable amount, which ruins your reputation and can cause a Game Over if you're not careful. Creating a single mindslave can take multiple weeks, but if you're willing to put in the work, you can make killing your rivals a breeze. Weapons like the axe or the katana may look cool to use, but Ayano cannot hide them from the other students so easily and they leave bloodstains in her clothes unlike other non-conceivable weapons like the baseball bat do. | |

From the first time they interact with them, each Aishi's specific senpai allows them to finally feel emotion that it turns into an immediate physical and psychological dependency, which fuels their murderous actions towards anything that threatens to take them away. | |

Ax-Crazy | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Comes with the territory. Just how much is up to how the player does things. It's just as possible to dispatch your rivals non-lethally, however, as it is to just get the Genocide Ending. If Yandere-chan kills several people, she will begin to lose Sanity. As her Sanity goes down, she gets more and more violent and unstable. She begins to hallucinate, seeing ghostly visions herself killing her current rival in more and more brutal ways. She begins to twitch and giggle uncontrollably, attracting attention. Her murder animations become more and more drawn-out and sadistic, and if her Sanity bottoms out, she will automatically attack anyone she gets close to. In SNAP mode, every ounce of civility and rationality goes completely out the window. Yandere-chan's vision goes completely red, and everyone turns into a black sihouette as she loses her ability to distinguish between people. Her sense of time and space breaks down, and the screen goes glitchy and staticky as she loses the ability to run and instead begins to teleport forward. When she's not glitching through space, she stumbles slowly, head down, looking for all the world like a Silent Hill monster. Anyone who gets near her is messily murdered with Yan-chan's bare hands, as she crushes their skulls, rips out their hearts, and otherwise brutally, gorily, and horrifically takes their lives. It's the absolute most crazy Yandere-chan can get, as she no longer has anything to live for. | |

Binocular Shot: In the street introduced in the October 17th, 2019 build, there is a pair of binoculars on the sidewalk overlooking the sea, which you can look through for 25 cents. They give this effect. Interestingly enough, if you look closely, one of the boats is a Saikou Corp company boat, and on it is someone who appears to be Kencho Saikou, standing on the deck and watching the street with his own pair of binoculars. | |

Accidental Pervert: Rival Muja Kina is described as this. According to YandereDev, her trademark is "accidental innuendo." You can claim to be this.

Student Council President | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_2f6a98f5 | comment |
Early in the game's development, YandereDev described the Student Council President as a Mary Sue. The official website's Characters page confirms this with the final rival, Megami Saikou, described as an "untouchable goddess" who is the most beautiful and popular girl in school, unbelievably rich and smart, and has excelled at everything she's ever tried. However, her Sue-ness is not Played for Laughs – she's basically an example of what happens when one of these sorts of characters has it in for you. | |

After his video explaining the panty shot mechanic was flagged for inappropriate content on Youtube, YanDev added the feature to strip Ayano naked (with clouds of Censor Steam covering the objectionable bits... and only those bits. Although the characters all had Barbie Doll Anatomy anyways), stating this was his way of getting back at them. (This mechanic was later replaced: now characters wear a towel while nude, and are not visible to the player while they're showering. Presumably YandereDev got over it.) | |

Memetic Mutation | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_316e9da2 | comment |
Memetic Mutation: Deliberately invoked in multiple ways, to the point that this game needed its own subpage for Shout-Outs just to contain all of them. Many memetic items have been placed together in a storage room on the school's ground floor that the Dev calls the "Meme Closet". YandereDev himself, due in part to the Dissonant Serenity tone he uses in his videos, has almost become a meme in his own right. It's not uncommon for him to say something in a video that ends up going viral, most notably "Whoa, Technology!". There are several Let's Players who are popular specifically for their Yandere Simulator playthroughs. These LP'ers have introduced plenty of memes into the fandom. invoked And yet… Dev has gone out of his way to avoid the implication this is a "meme game". The update videos show very clearly that YanSim is, at its core, a rather serious game intruding itself upon a Cliché Storm setting that happens to have some funny things on the periphery, which a green player might not even notice unless they actively looked for them. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: The delinquents are trouble-making bullies who try to goad people into fighting them; however, they will chase you down and relentlessly attack if they witness you murdering someone or carrying a dead body, until they either take you down or die in the process. In the second intro, Yan-chan is openly disgusted with Info-chan's modus operandi. (This particular cutscene has not been updated yet, so it's not clear if this is still true.) Info-chan won't accept panty shots of corpses or unconscious girls — though that may also just mean that she knows better than to keep such incriminating photos for such a… niche market. In the debug builds, if you choose to take the Befriend/Betray route with Kokona, the test rival, Yan-chan will sound audibly disgusted upon hearing that Kokona's father is being extorted by loan sharks. And for a supposedly emotionless psychopath, her tone of voice when she says that she's going to get him out of debt sounds an awful lot like Tranquil Fury. | |

Disposing of a Body: Kill someone, and you'll probably need to do this. Leaving a dead body lying around can quickly spell Game Over unless you get rid of your weapon, bloody clothes, and any blood puddles, wash off, and calm yourself down. Averted if you perform a bloodless kill, such as poisoning, electrocution, or pushing off the roof. So long as you don't disturb the body afterwards, the death will be presumed an accident or suicide. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: The Photography Club are this. They will start the game as a group of lively and energetic students who want to have fun – and they'll continue to be if school atmosphere stays high – but if the school atmosphere drops too low due to Yan-chan's murders, they will become essentially a walking sentry. With easy access to cameras and the internet, the Photography Club students will take a picture of Yan-chan if caught in an act and send it to the police, resulting in an instant Game Over. This also applies to any character known to constantly be on their cellphone – notably the Gaming Club, which is full of joke characters and expies. If a phone addict sees you commit a crime, they'll snap a photo and run away from you while trying to upload it to Instagraph or Fakebook. If you don't catch and kill them by the point the timer runs out, you lose. | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_36999dd | comment |
This Means War!: If any of the student council members die or go missing under any circumstance, Megami will correctly assume that Ayano had something to do with itnote Ayano's involvement is necessary in order to harm or remove them from the school, whether it be by direct actions such as a stealth attack, or indirect actions such as manipulating someone to kill them, and effectively declares war on her by establishing a litany of security measures, including security cameras and metal detectors. The Sleuths, along with anyone whose loved one is killed by Yan-chan, also fall under this if they find out that she is responsible for the deaths. They will stalk her constantly, 24/7, without breaks, trying to catch her in the act. | |

Stalker Shrine | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_372027ea | comment |
Stalker Shrine: Ayano's bedroom has a shrine to Senpai that she can build via collectibles. Currently, the shrine comes fully stocked with a toothbrush, and half-eaten apple, a framed photo, a used Band-Aid, a lock of hair, and a pair of Senpai's boxers, and how Yan-chan acquired these items is little more than a Noodle Incident. However, in the future, it will probably be on the player to get ahold of them via sidequests. | |

Teens Are Monsters | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_38d12399 | comment |
Teens Are Monsters: Villain Protagonist Ayano can murder and bully her classmates. Info-chan blackmails others, was the one to suggest killing others to Yan-chan (in the original now-scrapped opening), and her currency is Panty Shots, presumably without the subject's consent. The established Gang of Bullies can and will bully students with low reputation. Even if that student is Driven to Suicide, they will continue gossiping without remorse. In fact, they nearly drove the current delinquents to a suicide pact. | |

Boring, but Practical: Stabbing someone with a knife, a pair of scissors or a box cutter may not look as cool as striking someone with an axe or a metal pipe, but the weapons can be easily hidden and disposed of, not to mention that scissors and box cutters are not considered suspicious as long as they are not covered in blood. | |

Yet Another Stupid Death | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_39c10f1d | comment |
Yet Another Stupid Death: Go ahead, attack the nurse, a teacher, or especially Raibaru with a knife. See what it gets you.note If you don't have your Phys-Ed stat up to at least Level 1, the nurse and the teachers will curbstomp you; if you have leveled up, then it's up to that stat and your own button mashing skills whether or not they die. In the case of Raibaru, she will break your arms and apprehend you no matter how you try. When you're done messing with the nurse/a teacher/Raibaru, act dangerous around the delinquents. Surely the fight against a 5-student group armed with bats and crowbars will go well. Heck, they dare you to try. Try to take a panty shot of a girl while in a faculty member's field of view. They have a special line just for that. Senpai also has a special line if he catches Ayano acting lewd. Make yourself a threat to a Student Council member. You know, the ones who patrol the school, are nearly impossible to sneak up on, and carry pepper spray? Sure, that'll end well for you. Stand in a blood fountain (of your own indirect creation) while Senpai is watching. He won't have any problem with it at all. It certainly won't be an immediate game over. Lie about a classmate on social media. That'll sure boost your popularity. note (Of course, real life has countless examples of this working unpunished more often than the game's consistent penalties for it would indicate, but still.) Try to steal the answer sheet from the table in the Faculty Room when six teachers (or just Kyoshi) are there. I'm sure they won't notice or care. Attempt to either flirt with or threaten the guidance counselor. Especially threaten. Try to clean up evidence (such as a puddle of blood, a body part, or a blood-stained weapon) right in front of a teacher. Surely that won't implicate you in the murder. Rigging a drinking fountain to electrocute anyone who uses it and then using it yourself grants a uniquenote formerly given by the delinquents Game Over in which Ayano is rendered comatose. The same "Comatose" Game Over is given if you attempt to kill the Headmaster while he is pointing a taser at you. It takes a special kind of stupid to get this one. | |

Ignorant About Fire: If you splash a student with a bucket of gasoline and then flick a lit match on them, they will be set ablaze. The student won't try to roll to put the fire out, they'll just scream and slap themselves before burning to death right there. If Loner, Coward, Phone Addict, or Spiteful students witness a student burning to death, they'll step back in shock before running for it. | |

Stalker without a Crush | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_3b4185fb | comment |
Stalker without a Crush: Yan-chan can stalk the rivals (or anyone else) to try to find information that she can use to her advantage or find an opportunity to murder her. Attracting the unwanted attention of the Photography Club but also evading arrest triggers the Stalker persona in them, causing their members to focus their entire attention on catching Yan-chan red-handed. The same happens if you murder someone's best friend or loved one and get away with it. | |

Crapsaccharine World: The bright atmosphere, slice-of-life structure, and calm music constantly playing in the background certainly suggest that this is your standard Dating Sim… and then we meet our Villain Protagonist, find out what she's capable of, learn the backstories of some of the characters, and discover scattered hints at a dark, perhaps even supernatural conspiracy… This is highlighted by the School Atmosphere mechanic. At high atmosphere, the school looks like the setting of a typical high school romantic comedy. At low atmosphere, it becomes more like the horror story setting it actually is. | |

Abuse Mistake | |

Abuse Mistake: In the debug builds, Ayano comes to the conclusion that Kokona is being abused by her father after overhearing a conversation between her and Saki. But when she talks to her, it's revealed that he doesn't come up to her room to abuse her, but to cry about being unable to pay off his debt to a Loan Shark. | |

Acme Products: Eagle-eyed players will notice that nearly every product in the game — from background props like a coffeemaker to essential items like students' phones — was produced by the SAIKOU Corporation. Like most things in this game, it's a multi-level pun – saikô (最高) means "the best" (which is also Akademi High's motto) and, of course, it's a homophone for the English word "psycho"… no points for guessing why that's relevant to this game. | |

Make It Look Like an Accident | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_3f0b2f50 | comment |
Make It Look Like an Accident: You can push people over the school's rooftop railing. By taking the right measures, such as not interacting with the body and leaving a forged suicide note, you can dupe the police into thinking that the death was a suicide. If you don't leave a note, however, they'll just think it was an accident and that the student tripped over the railing. Regardless of which one you choose, the school will erect a higher fence to make sure it doesn't happen again. You can cause students to accidentally electrocute themselves with a booby trap. As long as you don't touch the body, there's no evidence that the death was a murder. Canonically, In 1980s mode Ryoba made sure to make the deaths of the rivals she lethally disposed of look like accidents. In one of the Mysterious Tapes, the Journalist describes his interaction with Ryoba Aishi immediately after she was acquitted. She found him hiding from the press in an alleyway, and told him that it would be easy to make his death look like an accident. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
An Easter Egg, added in the "Perfectly Normal"note (February 21st 2016) build. One of the demons in the void room, The Horror, has a Ghostly Gape and stumps for arms. Talking to it reveals its arms were cut off, and it wants revenge. Dismembering five students†(although most players murder the Occult Club members for this trick, it doesn't actually matter who the students are) and placing their severed arms inside the Occult Club room's sacred circle will satisfy The Horror and cause it to possess Yan-chan, with ten demonic arms sprouting up from the floor around her. Anyone (other than Senpai) who gets slashed by the demon's claws is instantly dismembered. | |

Non-Lethal K.O. | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_41d128e4 | comment |
Non-Lethal K.O.: There are multiple ways to get rid of your opponents without killing them. However, leaving rivals alive at the end of the week does not make Yan-chan a saint. Matchmaking – Set your rival up with a different boy. This is the game's Pacifist Run. Gossip – Trash your rival's reputation to the point she drops out of school.note You can continue to sully her reputation beyond that point, but then she'll be Driven to Suicide, thus making this also a lethal elimination method. Sabotage – Each rival will have five "events" with Senpai. Ruin all of them and Senpai will reject her. Expulsion – You catch your rival breaking school rules (or set her up) and tattle on her, resulting in her being expelled (or in the case of Muja and Mida, fired). Kidnapping – If she's not at that cherry tree at 6pm Friday, she can't confess to Senpai, now can she? note Currently, no choice exists to release a kidnapped rival unharmed (Musume Ronshaku is not a rival). It may never exist, meaning your only option is to torture your rival until she breaks, at which point giving her a weapon makes her kill herself. Betrayal – If you help a rival out with a major problem and press the "Eliminate" prompt during the subsequent conversation with them, the screen will cut to black as the rival notices something's off with her new "friend", her mood quickly going from confusion to concern to terror… then silence. note Currently, this results in your rival being kidnapped, so that entry's description applies. Friendship – If you help a rival out with a major problem and resist the "Eliminate" prompt during the subsequent conversation with them, you can simply ask them to stay away from Senpai and they'll agree out of gratitude. And more!note "Framing" is nonlethal in the sense that you don't kill your rival, but in order for it to work, you do have to kill someone else, so it's not exactly nonlethal. | |

Empty Eyes: Originally, when Yandere-Vision was active, Ayano's eyes would lose their highlights. Now they glow red when using Yandere-Vision, and instead lose their highlights when she loses sanity. Once you've tortured a student to their breaking point, they'll have these. Musume Ronshaku will get these after being released from captivity even if she isn't tortured, because the whole experience traumatizes her. | |

In the debug builds, if you choose to take the Befriend/Betray route with Kokona, the test rival, Yan-chan will sound audibly disgusted upon hearing that Kokona's father is being extorted by loan sharks. And for a supposedly emotionless psychopath, her tone of voice when she says that she's going to get him out of debt sounds an awful lot like Tranquil Fury. | |

Electricity Knocks You Out: Electrocution can be done in different methods using water and an electrical source, but all of them have the same outcome: kill the other students or render Yandere Chan unconscious. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Rival-chan, as an early design of Osana, was created solely to test out the red rival aura, and has no AI or hitbox. Naturally, she was the target of a lot of attempted violence. YandereDev has made two videos spoofing players' repeated attempts to kill her, titled "The Indestructible Rival." | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: When Yan-chan puts on a mask, she is instantly unrecognizable — despite the fact that not only is her distinctive hair still visible, but many of the masks don't even fully cover her face. | |

Hollywood Drowning | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_495678c4 | comment |
Hollywood Drowning: Zig-Zagged. You have the option to drown your rivals in the courtyard fountain, the locker room bathtub, pool†(this and the bathtub coming eventually™), or a toilet. Yes, the unfortunate victims do the stereotypical "thrash and scream," but, considering the context, this is much more realistic than such a reaction would be in an accidental drowning. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Zig-zagged. When Yan-chan dismembers a corpse, the camera focuses on her face as she is doing the deed, not showing the actual dismemberment in progress. The aftermath of her handiwork, however, is shown afterwards. note The "cinematic camera" function allows you to see the dismembering… Yan-chan's position rarely lines up with the corpse's, making it look like she's cutting air. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Yan-chan can trash someone's reputation via malicious gossip to the point that other students bully them and they stop coming to school. If she takes it far enough, they can even be Driven to Suicide. Yan-chan can kidnap a student. This leads to one of two (thus far) options: she can torture the student to the point that their mind is completely shattered, at which point they will perform a Murder-Suicide against her rival at her command, or the student will be used as a bargaining chip and released, being left "broken" for the rest of the game. Ayano's father had this done to him two decades or so ago, if the basement tapes are anything to go by. So, apparently, did her grandfather, her great-grandfather, and so on for as long as this nightmare has gone on. | |

Artifact Name: The "Easter Eggs" found in a secret menu that drastically changes Yan-chan's appearance and gives her different abilities related to the obvious homage. In the earliest builds, way back before they were relegated to a menu, they were considered Easter Eggs, the name just stuck long after their status as a "hidden secret" was rendered obsolete since the introduction of the menu for ease of access. | |

Artificial Atmospheric Actions | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_4bef247f | comment |
Artificial Atmospheric Actions: Until March 2019, reactions to blood, dropped weapons, and severed limbs were not implemented yet. That meant that as long as there was no blood on Yan-chan or any bodies in sight, NPCs would not react to gallons of blood on the ground. On a less creepy note, for a long time, when students interacted with each other, they made the same few stilted gestures, one of which was randomly saluting for no reason. The old animations, including the salute, were replaced in early 2017 with more natural gestures. However, all NPCs in a group will perform them at once as if they're talking over one another. After March 2019, students (and teachers) now react to blood, weapons, and severed limbs on the ground. However, there is still some jank with this mechanic, as whole crowds of people will all notice the object at the same time, and proceed to perform the exact same animation at once — often clipping into one another in the process. | |

Shock and Awe: Through some engineeringnote (tampering with a water fountain to create a leak, using a sabotaged power strip to electrify the resulting puddle, and then giving a student a salty snack to compel them to go to the water fountain), it is possible to electrocute someone to death. You can also electrocute yourself if you're not careful. | |

Betrayal – If you help a rival out with a major problem and press the "Eliminate" prompt during the subsequent conversation with them, the screen will cut to black as the rival notices something's off with her new "friend", her mood quickly going from confusion to concern to terror… then silence. note Currently, this results in your rival being kidnapped, so that entry's description applies. | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: In SNAP mode, you can't avoid killing Senpai (and yourself) no matter what you do. If you keep wasting time, you will be teleported to a knife, which automatically equips it. If you still choose to waste time, the game will instantly teleport you near Senpai. If you choose to waste time again, the game will teleport you into Senpai's collision mesh, activating the animation and killing Senpai. Once Senpai is dead, Ayano will die regardless of player input. If the player mashes the button, she will kill herself instantly. If they don't, she will kill herself slowly. Justified, as once Ayano has snapped, the only thing left for her to live for is pulling If I Can't Have You… on Senpai. | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_52475ffd | comment |
Cutting Off the Branches: It's possible to eliminate the 10 rivals of 1980s mode in any way possible, and it's possible to come away with a bad ending, but there is only one method of elimination per rival that is considered 'canon'. Getting the canon elimination on all ten rivals is the way to unlock the S+ rank and the secret ending. Ryoba's monologues about her rivals shed some light on what those methods are. In addition, canonically, of course, Ryoba gets away with the murder of Sumire/The Phantom Girl and kidnaps her Senpai. | |

Let's Get Dangerous!: The Photography Club consists mostly of playful students who joined to goof off. However, as school atmosphere drops, they start discussing the murders and keep an eye out for the perpetrator. If the school atmosphere drops low enough, they'll actively patrol the school, looking for evidence of the killer. If they catch on to you, they will constantly stalk you, waiting for you to make a wrong move. And if they catch Ayano in the act while in "full sleuth" mode, they'll take a picture and send it to the police, resulting in an instant game over. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: Senpai. Granted, he seems the oblivious fool at times, but imagine the story told from a different perspective – A young man has led a blessed life. He has a best friend he's known since childhood, a little sister who clearly thinks the world of him, he attends a prestigious academy at which he seems to excel, and has the tendency to make friends wherever he goes. For some strange reason, they're mostly women, but that's not a problem. Then one day, those friends start disappearing, or they ditch him without explanation, or they die. Even the sister who loved nothing more than sticking to him like velcro. To top it all off, it's starting to feel like somebody's stalking him. If taken only a little further, it wouldn't take all that much digging to see that this has happened in this school before. Even someone as dense as our hero seems to be isn't immune to simple human reasoning, and once a pattern is pointed out, the human mind naturally follows it. This same story has been playing out throughout recent history, as all women of Ayano's bloodline have been just like her. So, once the young man sees what's been going on, even if he has no idea who or what is responsible, he would begin to guess what's happening now and that he's next. And if he should happen to pick up one of those tapes which are laying around the school grounds... | |

Spoofy-Doo: The Photography Club is modeled after the Mystery Gang, with the characters being lookalikes and having familiar-sounding names, although their Scooby-Doo Expy is a kid who sometimes claims to be a dog who's been turned into a human by magic. If you fly under the radar and keep the school's overall atmosphere high, they're just a bunch of slackers goofing off together. However, if you give them reason to believe there's a Serial Killer in school, they suddenly become your worst nightmare: hyper-vigilant sleuths who travel in a pack, actively look for clues and keep an eye out for suspicious behavior, and always have cameras on them. If they suspect you personally, it'll get even worse, since even if you clean up all the evidence, they'll take to stalking you to catch you in the act and ensure you can't get away with it again. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Zig-zagged. The police will only arrest you if they find iron-clad evidence, such as a murder weapon with your fingerprints on it, or if no fewer than 5 witnesses accuse you of murder. They won't search your phone, won't take into account circumstantial evidence (such as you having led the victim off to a secluded location immediately before the murder), and will only investigate for a single day before declaring the case unsolvable. The cassette tapes seem to bring some justification to this – Akademi High has a long history of being very uncooperative and strict about the police investigating on school grounds. After an incident where a botched investigation of a murdered student led to the only suspect being acquitted, the police now won't accuse anyone of a crime without ironclad evidence, refuse to approach the school unless specifically summoned, and even then will only stay for brief periods of time. | |

Long List | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_5ff56a1f | comment |
In mid-January 2016, YanSim got banned from livestreaming site Twitch without adequate explanation. As a result, the February 1st build opens with a joke Warning Screen with a Long List of "inappropriate" things the game contains – starting sensibly (bullying, kidnapping, torture, etc.), but becoming increasingly ridiculous (various states of sewage, game breaking bugs, an overworked programmer, "and much worse"). He later dropped the screen for being too narmy, but it got the point across. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Represented by a cardiograph. Killing people, being covered in blood, and being around bodies brings it down; while looking at photos of or being around Senpai, secluding herself, or laughing maniacally brings it back up. Let it go down too far, and Ayano becomes visibly insane. This is problematic, since letting Senpai see you in this state will trigger an instant Game Over (and letting other students see her causes her reputation to tank), while letting a teacher see you being insane gets you sent to the guidance counselor. Played with a bit in that this meter doesn't technically represent Sanity Slippage – Yan-chan has screws loose to begin with (she'd have to, to conjure up a plan like hers in the first place). The meter just represents how openly batshit she appears. | |

Unintentional Uncanny Valley | |

Unintentional Uncanny Valley: An In-Universe meta variation occurred not with people, but with clothes. YandereDev mentioned that, prior to a programming breakthrough in May 2016, he could add assets not associated with the "Aoi" model to the game – other articles of clothing, for example – but they would glitch when the characters moved. He gave the example of wearing a pair of pants that would not move with the body of the person wearing them, and that it gave everything an unnatural and eerie feeling. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: At the starting menu, the shot of Yan-chan standing with a stoic expression can occasionally switch into one where she's holding a knife, her clothes are bloodied, the sky is dark, and there are dead bodies in the background. If you manage to linger on a student's phone screen long enough, there are interesting and funny tidbits from the in-game social media. The box of garbage bags in the school closet has three words on it, and they can be seen if you take a photo. They are "building", "murdering your rich husband", and "disposing of your rivals rawr xd". | |

Losing a large amount of Sanity is also detrimental to your gameplay. A fully insane Ayano will be unable to tell people other than Senpai apart (making it impossible to interact with people), will begin to giggle uncontrollably (making it impossible to stay stealthy), will develop "intrusive thoughts" that manifest to the player as shadowy hallucinations of Yan-chan killing her rival, and will be unable to resist her murderous urges — meaning that you will automatically kill anyone who gets near you, with no input from the player. | |

Ayano gets this way around Senpai. She can't bring herself to confess to him unless she knows there aren't any rivals for his affection. Whenever he's near her, she'll drop whatever she's holding as she begins to lose her cool. If Senpai notices Yan-chan acting like this around him, he'll slowly get creeped out to the point that he'll eventually tell her to get lost, resulting in a Game Over. | |

Implacable Man: The teachers were (before the ability to flee from them was taken out) a heroic version, who would chase Yan-chan indefinitely and always know exactly where she was. The placeholder delinquents were even more implacable, always running straight towards Yan-chan, even to the point of floating through the air and running through walls and floors. They could even follow her outside of the map and into the demon realm. Yan-chan herself turns into this in SNAP mode. Nothing can stop her — not delinquents, martial artists, teachers, or even Raibaru can keep her from killing Senpai and herself. | |

Signature Instrument | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_65e0a4ba | comment |
Signature Instrument: All members of the Light Music Club have Punny Names, and most have Meaningful Name, related to their prefered instrument: Miyuji Shan: Guitarist. "Miyuji Shan" is a Japanese-style pronunciation for "Musician". Gita Yamahato: "Gita" is a Japanese-style pronunciation for "guitar". Dora Tamamoto: "Dora" would be short for "Doramu", Japanese pronunciation for "drum", and "Tamamoto" refers to Tama drumkit brand. Kiba Kawaito: "Kiba" is a modified "Kiboodo", which is "Keyboard" pronounced as Japanese people would do, and "Kawaito" is derived from Kawai keyboard instruments brand. Beshi Takamine: Subversion of Meaningful Name, Punny Name Bassist, and the Odd Name Out. "Beshi" is "Bass" pronounced in a Japanese way, and Takamine is a brand of musical instruments that releases guitars and basses. A jack-of-all-trades, she can play almost any instrument, but none of them to a professional level, except for the bass, but that's not a huge character focus. Leaves complicated stuff to her bandmates. Willing to play back-up instruments (such as the maracas) when the song calls for it. | |

Permanently Missable Content: If you quit a club or get kicked out, you can't join that club again. You can also lock yourself out of a club by killing the club leader or a certain number of members, either of which result in the club being disbanded; or by getting caught murdering someone by a member of that club, which will result in your being kicked out of the club or denied entry. Certain rival elimination methods – most notably Matchmaking – require interaction with specific NPCs. If Yan-chan murders one of these characters early, the elimination method they're connected to won't work. When challenged on it, the Dev said this: | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: If you take a picture in the girls' bathroom on the third floor (or by the Confession Tree in earlier builds), you can see a girl with torn clothes and a triangle headband flanked by blue flames. It was later revealed that she was the girl that Ryoba, Yan-chan's mother, killed in the bathroom, and that a future DLC may focus on her attempt at revenge. The tutorial for 1980s mode shows her death at the hands of Ryoba. | |

Missing Mom: At least one of the students' mothers died in childbirth. She was the wife of The Journalist, as detailed in his tapes. In the debug builds, test-rival Kokona has this – her mother died about a year prior to the start of the game's storyline. This left her father unable to afford to keep her at Akademi, which resulted in him becoming a broken lush indebted to a loan shark and Kokona's sketchy moneymaking schemes (Compensated Dating and selling used panties). | |

Interface Screw | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: As Yan-chan's sanity decreases, the background music becomes distorted, black splotches appear at the edges of the screen, and ghostly visions of Yan-chan murdering her rival begin to appear. By that same token, as School Atmosphere decreases, the colors become desaturated, Ominous Fog appears, and the music becomes much more somber. When you are in the vicinity of Senpai, the screen turns saturated pink, a Heartbeat Soundtrack is heard, and your normal-paced walk turns into a slow, shy trudge as a series of increasingly obsessive animations plays, ending with a full-on yandere pose. Also, you drop whatever you're holding (weapon, mop, corpse, etc.). If you go into first-person camera mode while wearing an accessory that intrudes into Yan-chan's field of vision (toaster, cyborg helmet, witch's hat), your view will be obscured. The above bullet point also applies to any hairstyle with bangs (Hatred Mode, Slender Mode, etc.). If the player attempts to look up Info-chan's information on their phone, the phone's screen will fill with static as Info-chan prevents the player from learning anything about her, while what text is legible scolds Ayano for trying to dig up dirt on her. Snap Mode begins with Ayano literally shattering the Game Over screen, and goes up to eleven from there. The view is entirely red and black. None of the normal HUD elements are present, replaced by short commands. Running is replaced by an Ominous Visual Glitch skipping you forward, and murder animations are sped up the more you kill. If you take too much time without finding a knife and then killing Senpai, the screen will fill with static and you'll be teleported to your target. | |

An Ice Person: One Easter Egg turns Yan-chan into Cirno, an ice fairy from the Touhou Project series.

Yan-chan will not be suspected for poisoning a student… even if she is practically standing on top of the corpse, laughing like a madwoman, when it is discovered. (Instead, she'll be sent to the guidance counselor for "acting like a clown" — the same thing that happens any time you are Laughing Mad in front of a teacher.) Averted if you try to drag the poisoned corpse away after a teacher sees it. She will (correctly) assume that Yan-chan committed murder and give chase. | |

Wide-Open Sandbox: Discussed in a video, with YandereDev contemplating adding a number of previously unconsidered features to the game, including a small town, to prevent it from becoming boring, with a warning that doing so would necessitate extending development time by at least half a year and/or soliciting for additional funds to hire professional aid. For several years, the game contained a simple prototype town. There was nothing to do there; you could simply ride around on your bike and do wheelies. It was later removed, and then replaced with a 2D part-time-job minigame, and an online store with which to buy weapons or other items. The small town feature is most likely permanently scrapped. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: YandereDev introduced the idea of a character known only as "The Yakuza." The Yakuza's hypothetical method of elimination shifted the game's tone, as it implied a Fate Worse than Death for the rivals or a death more gruesome than anything already implemented. The "Yakuza route" meant selling kidnapped students as sex slaves or for their organs, and delved deeper into real-life horrors than most fans were comfortable with. YandereDev offered a compromise by moving him to the promised "1980's Mode," which is already promised to be significantly darker than the main game, and whose protagonist (one Ryoba Aishi) is firmly established as a Card-Carrying Villain, as opposed to Ayano's depending-on-the-player morality. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: The Photography Club is made up of a bunch of goofballs who like to have fun. However, if you lower the school's atmosphere to below 80%, they will begin sweeping the school and investigating every single student in it in attempt to find the responsible for all the atrocities that have happened. If any of them sees you commiting murder and you get away with it while the school atmosphere is above 90%, they will hunt you down. They will will follow you around the school looking for evidence of your crimes, and if they catch you committing murder, they'll snap a picture of you and send it straight to the police. Game Over. To illustrate the point, these are some of the club leader's lines when the atmosphere is above 80%: And these are some of his lines when the atmosphere is below 80%: This also applies to any of the normally-harmless characters who have a loved one at the school. If you kill them in front of someone who cares about them, the survivor will rush you with maxed-out strength and try to take you down. | |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Implied. One of the ways Yan-chan can calm herself down after losing sanity is by "using" pictures of Senpai. The developer stated that exactly how she uses them is... up to the player's imagination. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: You can cause any of your classmates to commit suicide if you damage their reputation sufficiently through malicious gossip. However, only rivals will have a unique suicide cutscene; any other student whose reputation is sabotaged enough to drive them to suicide will just stop coming to school… permanently. What Yan-chan can make a murder scene look like. If she takes the right precautions (not interacting with the body, doing this when both characters are alone, leaving a suicide note including her "reason" for committing suicide, etc.), then she can get away with murder. After a student is completely broken through torture, they can be given a weapon and commanded to kill a student. After the deed is done, they'll proceed to turn the weapon on themselves. | |

Punny Name | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: The school the game takes place in is called Akademi High School. Say it aloud and see what you get. note Amusingly, the characters do not pronounce it like "Academy"; they say it like it's a Japanese word ("AH-kah-deh-mee"). This pun works on two levels, as "Aka(i)" is the Japanese word for Red, which you'll be seeing a lot of if you play Yan-chan as a murderous psychopath. Kokona goes to a place called "Shisuta Town" to engage in Compensated Dating, while the town that Akademi High is in is called "Buraza Town". Explaining The JokeIt's Engrish for "Sister" and "Brother", respectively. Every rival (or nearly so) is set to have one. Senpai's tsundere childhood friend, who also happens to be your first rival, is named "Osana Najimi". For non-Japanese speakersThis translates to 'childhood friend'. The Cooking Club Leader (Rival #2) is named Amai Odayaka.note "Amai" means "Sweet flavor". The leader of the Drama Club (Rival #3) is named Kizana Sunobu.note "Kizana" is Japanese for "snobbish," and "Sunobu" is Engrish for "snob." The leader of the Occult Club (Rival #4) is named Oka Ruto.note It's Engrish for "Occult." The Sports Club Leader (Rival #5) is named Asu Rito.note Engrish for "Athlete." Many of the regular NPC students also fit the bill. See the Character page for more information. Every member of the Martial Arts Club and the Occult Club count. The members of the Art Club are named after art supplies. The members of the Light Music Club are named after musical instruments, except for the leader, who is named "Miyuji Shan". Midori Gurin's name is derived from the Japanese word for "green" and the Japanese transliteration of the English word "green". She also has green hair, green eyes, a green phone, green stockings, and green underwear. note The last two may not be there, depending on the build. The Basu sisters are named Sakyu and Inkyu. There's also Mai Waifu, who has pledged her heart to a game developer living overseas. Kuu Dere "has never been witnessed exhibiting emotions". Ayano's family name, Aishi, can be rendered using these kanji – æ„›æ» â€“ which mean "love" and "death", respectively. Fitting, although said sequence doesn't exist as a last name in reality. The loan agency that lends money at absurd interest rates is called Ronshaku Loans. The daughter of the company's boss is named Musume Ronshaku. "Musume" means… Daughter. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The Alphabet Killer Challenege is this, as it has you kill all the students in the school (except for Senpai) in alphabetical order, and if you are caught misbehaving or someone either calls the police or flees the school, you automatically lose and have to redo the whole thing from the start, so making sure there are no witnesses, hiding corpses and cleaning up any blood they left behind is a top priority (though lockers to hide bodies in spawn in the whole school to make things less complicated and weapons like the baseball bat don't leave any blood behind) There are a set of items in the Student Council Room that can make things a bit easier, but these lower the difficulty level of the challenge the more they are used. The challenge usually takes about one hour and a half to complete. | |

Lore Codex: There is a Content Checklist in the main menu to inform you of how many elimination methods you have used to successfully beat your rivals. This takes different forms in the 202X and 1980s modes. In 202X mode, Info-chan gives you a list of Schemes (options to throw NPCs off so that you can defeat your rivals) via cell phone pause menu. In 1980s mode, they are named Ideas because Info-Chan was not alive at that time to list Schemes. You start off with a fair amount. However, you can pay the hair salon manager for more knowledge, and this will add ideas to your pause menu notebook. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: YandereDev himself has repeatedly mentioned that the game has a problem with this. Many of the elimination methods, and even some basic gameplay features, are highly complex and nearly impossible to figure out, unless you're subscribed to the Dev's YouTube channel. To make matters worse, it is possible to be misled by early videos. A very early look at sanity in the game shows Yan-chan killing several people and then standing in Senpai's aura to calm down… which is still technically possible, but in later builds will earn you an immediate Game Over if Senpai sees her bloody and insane; you'd need to be in his aura but out of his field of vision. note Now nearly impossible as the size of Senpai's aura was decreased by half in January 2017. However, over the past year or so, the Dev has put a lot of work into decreasing instances of this. Many mechanics have been adjusted to be less complex, and several different ways of learning about mechanics in-game have been implemented. Tutorial windows from Info-chan have been implemented that pop up when a player triggers a certain gameplay state (such as damaging their reputation) for the first time. For the price of a few panty shot or a smattering of blackmail material, it is now possible to purchase instructions for various complex elimination methods from Info-chan's "Schemes" menu, and to watch anime in Yan-chan's room that provides "inspiration" for others. In the future, there will be a full, scripted tutorial to explain the game's basic mechanics. Schemes are a thorough inversion, giving you step-by-step instructions to achieving important goals like killing off rivals. They're easily purchased and basically walk you through the means to the end, but any deviation from the scheme causes it to go awry. | |

Ragdoll Physics | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_6fc40689 | comment |
Ragdoll Physics: It is said that, unrefined, the Unity engine considers this a suggestion rather than a reality. As such, it is more likely than not that corpses will do bizarre things, especially when you try to move them. If someone dies by a wall and any of their body clips into it, trying to drag them causes their limbs to stretch and contort horrifically until they finally, uh, pop out. Using an Easter Egg like Falcon Mode or One Punch Mode on someone will send them flying (their bodies will be grossly contorted for a couple of frames the instant the punch connects). If you're inside, chances are the body will hit a wall or floor, at which point the corpse will get stuck and spaz out. Anything having to do with Titan Mode, as the school is not built for having extremely large bodies inside it. Somehow, porting the game to Unity 5 made ragdoll physics worse. It's not uncommon for a newly created corpse to simply spaz out and fly a few feet away before finally settling down. | |

Limp and Livid: One of the symptoms showing that Yan-chan is visibly insane is her slumping slightly. The "Hatred" Easter Egg in debug mode gives her lank waist-length black hair and has her slouched in a feral posture. It's also the pose of anyone mindbroken by Yan-chan. | |

If a student catches Yan-chan covered in blood, holding a weapon, or holding a weapon while covered in blood, you have the option to "Apologize" to the student(s) that spotted you, which has Yan-chan lie to them. (if caught holding a weapon) "I found something dangerous on the grounds. I was taking it to a teacher." (if caught covered in blood) "I spilled red paint on myself! I'm going to go clean it up now." (if caught holding a weapon while bloody) "Don't worry. I was just filming a prank video for the internet." (if caught taking panty shots) "It was a mistake! I was trying to photograph something else, I swear!" | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_72f83d04 | comment |
Prior to October 2017, the School Nurse lacked any sort of AI. She could not be interacted with; all she did was stand around in the infirmary as Ayano stole a syringe and drugs from her. Her only reaction was when Ayano failed to pickpocket keys from her. The current nurse, however, has full AI and will call you out for stealing — and take you down for murder. She keeps a close eye on her equipment to keep you from taking it. You'll have to distract her by, say, non-fatally poisoning a student. | |

Totally 18: The game comes with a disclaimer that all of the characters are 18 or older regardless of what the game itself says, or even what YanDev has said in the past. This was done, at least in part, to get around laws that ban depicting sexualization of or violence against minors (most notably in Australia). | |

High-Voltage Death: Yan-chan can fatally electrocute a student by using a pipe wrench to create a leak in the water fountain and placing a plugged-in, sabotaged power strip in the puddle. Then all she has to do is give her victim a salty, dehydrating snack, and when they head to the water fountain, they step in the electrified puddle. However if she steps into her own electrified trap, she will simply fall into a coma. | |

Relieved Failure: In her first year, Raibaru was the president of the Martial Arts Club and didn't lose a single duel until the end of the first semester, when Budo Masuta defeated her. However, instead of feeling sad, she felt relieved, because she had wanted to quit martial arts for some time and felt that her winning streak obligated her to continue to practice them. She quit martial arts and promoted Budo the new club leader. | |

Kidnapping – If she's not at that cherry tree at 6pm Friday, she can't confess to Senpai, now can she? note Currently, no choice exists to release a kidnapped rival unharmed (Musume Ronshaku is not a rival).

Curtains Match the Window | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_7b6f0622 | comment |
Curtains Match the Window: In the earlier builds, most of the characters had hair and eyes that matched in color. As the school population has been filled out, more and more new characters have averted this, with the result that it's no longer a noticeable trend. Out of the 10 rivals, only 2 avert this: Amai Odayaka (brown hair & green eyes) and Asu Rito (blonde hair & grey eyes). All the others have matching hair and eyes. Senpai is customizable, so it's up to the player whether he averts this or plays it straight. Ayano, who normally plays this straight, can avert it as well if the player changes her hairstyle. | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_7c2fc922 | comment |
Moving The Goal Posts: The goalposts for when Osana will be released keep changing and getting longer, because, when making the checklist, Yandere Dev is "constantly remembering things that [he] forgot to add to the list", and that there is no clear concept on what ideas are to go on a accurate and complete list of what he needs to do before implementing Osana. However, on August 31st, 2020, Osana was finally released. | |

Sailor Fuku: The default uniform for girls is a white and blue sailor outfit, which YanDev learned after the fact is actually the uniform for middle school girls. Three uniforms more befitting a high school girl are available as alternates. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Wearing a mask and using the edge of the rooftop is very powerful aids to getting away with murder. The mask will conceal your face, meaning that you can commit murder in front of witnesses and get away with it as long as you're not apprehended or Senpai doesn't see you (in which case he will run up to you and rip off the mask), and the rooftop railing is a place to push students over the edge, which kills them without producing any fingerprint or DNA evidence. However, both of these will only work once. Murdering while wearing a mask will result in masks being banned, and a railing death will result in a ten-foot-high fence being erected (if the school determines that the person died from falling off the building; if that doesn't appear to be the case, or Yan-chan managed to hide the body, then the railing stays as it is). | |

Vague Age | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: YandereDev never explicitly provided the ages of many characters. While we the audience are to assume that they mostly fall within the age range of highschool students (e.g. Ayano being in second year, making her approximately 16-17 years old), Word of God has it that everyone in the game is 18 or older, per the provided disclaimer. This is likely done in order to skirt around the accusations of the player being able to do things that are Harmful to Minors, or actions that are sexual in nature towards young teenagers that can be considered illegal. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
A Reputation gauge measures how others think of Yan-chan. Complimenting other students, giving them food if you join the Cooking Club, and calling in favors from Info-chan can improve it, thus allowing you to earn your fellow students' trust; being caught doing suspicious things like brandishing weapons, taking up-skirt photos, laughing like a madwoman, committing murder, or skipping class can harm your reputation. | |

Button Mashing | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_82933b02 | comment |
When Yan-chan is killing someone with the low-sanity killing animation, mashing the attack button makes the last portion of the animation loop. For example… Yan-chan pounds away at the victim's head with a baseball bat (or other large blunt weapons). Yan-chan repeatedly stabs the katana (or other large bladed weapons) through the victim's belly. Yan-chan continues dragging the circular saw through the victim's ribs. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: Lampshaded in the December 2015 update, which introduced the Frame-Up to the game. YandereDev notes that Kokona, your scapegoat, had a rock-solid alibi and a perfectly innocent explanation as to how her fingerprints ended up on the murder weapon – she was a member of the Cooking Club and she earlier used the murder weapon, a kitchen knife, to prepare a snack for her friends. It's also notable that until June 2019, you could go on a killing spree, clean up all the evidence, and leave witnesses alive. You would still get away with the crime, though you might suffer a constant reputation drain (depending on the witness's personality). As of June 2019, eyewitness testimony is now taken into account, but the police will still not arrest Yan-chan unless no fewer than 5 witnesses come forward. Asking someone to follow you doesn't arouse suspicion even at the lowest atmosphere, and even if the student who followed you into a secluded location ends up murdered, the cops don't question it so long as concrete evidence is disposed of. Additionally, there's no forensics involved except fingerprints and blood-typing on weapons and Yan-chan's clothes (the victim's clothes would realistically be examined for fingerprints and foreign DNA, etc.). Accounting for these details would be complicated and difficult for YandereDev, so it's not likely that many, if any, of these smaller factors would ever be considered in the game's programming. In addition, even if it is clear that a murder did happen, the police will give up if they can't catch the perpetrator on the day that the murder happens. The police will leave and the students will be allowed to go home. The students will return to school the next day (or Monday if the murder happens on Friday), and the police will not be there. Realistically, the police would have continued their investigation for weeks, and would still be there searching when the students returned. This one, at least, gets a Hand Wave (see the "Final Game" folder for details). | |

Mexican Standoff | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_83f0971b | comment |
Mexican Standoff: During at least one iteration of Mission Mode (mid-December 2016), it is possible (but freakin' difficult) for Yan-chan to complete the Hand demon ritual while Nemesis is after her. Once the ritual is complete, Nemesis can't tackle a floating Yan-chan out of the air, but the demon hands can't dismember Nemesis.note Doing so with the circular saw triggers the "Infinite Body Parts" bug. Furthermore, Nemesis is prone to spinning while she's within the demon hand ring (making it nearly impossible to stay behind her), and pressing the attack button returns Yan-chan to the floor where Nemesis can get at her. Who kills whom boils down to sheer dumb luck of positioning. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
The game also contains emetic, sedative, and headache-causing poisons. By distracting a student during lunchtime, you can tamper with any student's lunch. Lethal poison is lethal; emetic poison causes the student to run to the bathroom and vomit; sedative causes the student to go to the nurse's office to take a nap; and headache poison causes the student to go to the nurse's office to ask for medicine. In gameplay terms, the emetic and sedative are two non-lethal ways to remove a witness from the area. (Emetic poison also forces a student to go to the bathroom, which is usually fairly secluded and offers various ways to drown someone.) The headache poison causes the nurse to unlock the cabinet with the headache medicine inside... which also contains a tranquilizer, which Yandere-chan needs to kidnap a student. If she's quick, she can steal the tranq while the poisoned student is being treated. | |

Alternate Universe: The just-for-fun Mission Mode is one of these. In the Mission Mode universe, Info-chan runs an assassination service (instead of being a Knowledge Broker) and Ayano is a Professional Killer instead of a Yandere. The "Retribution" manga reveals the exact event that set the world of Mission Mode on a different path than the main timeline — in this universe, Taro Yamada was Ayano's first victim. | |

Life Meter | |

Life Meter: When talking about non-lethal attacks, in the April 26th, 2018 video, a green one above damaged people's heads that decreases from right to left. To clarify, he's explaining that these will not be included in the game, as there's no reason for Yan-chan to non-lethally attack someone. An Easter egg/cheat mode was later added to the game that allows the player to non-lethally attack students with a giant sword and/or small drones. Once you attack someone, they immediately run out of the school; the point of the mode is to kill as many people as possible before they get away. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: If she joins the Gaming Club, Yan-chan can temporarily boost one of her stats every day by playing video games. These include an educational game to boost her school subjects, a horror game to boost her Numbness, a fighting game to boost her Self-Defense, a Dating Sim to boost her Seduction, a role-playing game to boost her social interactions, a stealth game to boost her stealth, and a racing game to boost her run speed. Downplayed in that these stat boosts revert at the end of the day. | |

It's also possible to torture and mindbreak students.

Teacher's Pet | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_87bf0789 | comment |
Teacher's Pet: One of the personality types. In this case, their reaction to seeing a murder/corpse will be to run and tell their teacher, drawing them to the scene of a crime and making it more difficult to cover up. It is possible to make the Teacher's Pet look like a liar by cleaning up the scene of the crime before the student and teacher return. If Yan-chan successfully tidies up the scene, then the teacher won't believe the student. However, if the Teacher's Pet witnessed the murder, they will try proving that Yan-chan killed a student, constantly draining your reputation. Their fate afterwards depends on the player. However, it is recommended to kill them before another slip up happens or Yan-chan's reputation drops too low. It's notable in the early builds that almost all male students not in the Martial Arts club qualified as this (while the girls were almost entirely Social Butterflies). This began to change as the finalized clubs were implemented; some boys in the Drama club are Social Butterflies, the Sports Club are Heroes along with the Martial Arts boys, the boys in the Photography clubs are Sleuths, some boys in the Science Club are Loners, etc. It's now more split by club than by gender. | |

School Bullying Is Harmless: Averted to the point that it's the basis of two elimination methods (and the formation of the Delinquent gang). The Bully clique, led by Musume Ronshaku, will harass the person at school with the lowest reputation. If it's your rival (or some poor student you just needed out of the way), you can use them to eliminate her by having her bullied so badly that she refuses to go to school, or even commits suicide. It it's a Fragile student, then if you bully them badly enough and then lie that someone else is the cause, they will snap and kill the person you indicated before committing suicide. | |

Shovel Strike: Zig-zagged. Ayano can use the shovel from the gardening club for digging graves and as a weapon. When doing a stealth attack from behind, Yan-chan uses the shovel handle as a fulcrum to break her victim's neck. Yan-chan's frontal assaults play this trope straight, but a shovel is unsuited for defending against Nemesis, martial artists, teachers, or anyone else who decides to tackle Yan-chan. | |

They can be provoked into a fight, though they will disengage once either side is too beat-up to continue. Before the true delinquents were implemented, the Placeholder Delinquents consisted of five boys and five girls, who didn't show up to school at all, but just spawned next to the incinerator and stood there all day. They would not disengage after a fight — instead, they would just thwack Ayano into a coma with a single blow. Their designs were repurposed for 1980s mode, in which they behave like the present-day delinquents do. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: Ayano is this. However, the point of the game is to not be noticed by Senpai until all of Ayano's rivals have been eliminated. If her obvious obsession creeps him out too much or he sees her true nature, it's Game Over. Other students can develop crushes on Yan-chan if she becomes popular and/or seductive enough. Their persona changes to the Stalker persona to match. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
There are Asshole Victims aplenty in this game that Yan-chan can murder only to further get closer to her Senpai, but at least YandereDev designed them to be despicable for the general standards that they fit into this. Standouts include the bully leader Musume Ronshaku, who does everything on the bully notes with a glee, has plans to backstab her fellow posse when things go south, and happily indulges in Slut-Shaming and Victim-Blaming on Kokona when she realized that Kokona has been roped into Compensated Dating to pay off her father's loans coming from Musume's own father so she could buy off anything she wanted. Or one of your Ephebophile rival substitute teacher Mida Rana, who abuses her position of power to seduce younger students. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: An Easter Egg, added in the "Perfectly Normal"note (February 21st 2016) build. One of the demons in the void room, The Horror, has a Ghostly Gape and stumps for arms. Talking to it reveals its arms were cut off, and it wants revenge. Dismembering five students†(although most players murder the Occult Club members for this trick, it doesn't actually matter who the students are) and placing their severed arms inside the Occult Club room's sacred circle will satisfy The Horror and cause it to possess Yan-chan, with ten demonic arms sprouting up from the floor around her. Anyone (other than Senpai) who gets slashed by the demon's claws is instantly dismembered. Later on, the ritual to summon the Flame Demon was added. To pull it off, you have to heat up a knife with a blowtorch and kill a student inside of the Occult Club's ritual circle. At this point, the Flame Demon will agree to give you "a taste of his power." Use the flaming knife he gifts you to murder five students, and drag their charred bodies into the ritual circle, and he will finally grant you his full power. Yan-chan will then gain a long grey dress and begin to float above the ground, holding two orbs of fire that she can use to incinerate anyone she likes — even Senpai. The latest demonic ritual to be added is the one that allows you to summon the Empty Demon. In order to do this one, you must murder all the school club leaders and drag their bodies into the ritual circle. Once you do this, the club leaders will be replaced by the Placeholder Club Leaders from earlier builds, and Ayano will gain the ability to sic a horde of them on anyone she chooses. | |

Arc Number | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: Ayano has 10 rivals she has to get rid of over the course of 10 weeks. Ayano's mother Ryoba also had to deal with 10 rivals throughout the course of 10 weeks (not counting Sumire Saitozaki, whom she kills in a tutorial). There are 10 suitors for you to hook up the rivals with. The Journalist, Basement, and Headmaster each have 10 tapes. The Guidance Counselor has 10 weeks to reform the Delinquents or else they'll be expelled and she will be dismissed from the school. There are 10 major clubs (not including the Gaming Club, which is unofficial). Mr. Rokuda adds a 10% increase to the interest rate on his loans every 10 days. The Pain Demon's ritual involves offering 10 severed arms. Ayano has officially been stated to be the 10th generation of the Aishi Clan. As of June, 2022, you are now able to hold up to 10 students prisoner in the basement. | |

Annoying Video Game Helper | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_9350c01f | comment |
invoked Midori Gurin was created to represent the game's well-meaning but counterproductive fanbase. As such, she exists to be shut down, insulted, and often murdered. Heck, she's been murdered by YandereDev himself at least twice in his update videos – granted, the first time was after she slapped him (to snap him out of a funk), and the other time, she was attempting to murder him because his abuse finally pushed her Berserk Button and sent her over the edge. She has no routine in the debug builds – she arrives at school and beelines to the roof and just stands there for the rest of the day unless the player interacts with her.note Prior to July 2016, she spawned on the roof too. Next to her are a knife, mop, bucket, and utility sink, just to make killing her that much simpler. Midori was the guinea pig for the "Dismemberment" update video, marking the first time in nearly a year that a student other than Kokona was used to demonstrate an elimination method (though the end of the video showed Yan-chan holding Kokona's severed head, just to ensure that "everyone's favorite punching bag" wasn't left out). As development shifted in early 2016 – fewer elimination methods implemented but more under-the-hood fixes – Midori was getting the business end of the knife more often than Kokona. August 2016 saw the implementation of sanity-based killing animations. It also gave Yan-chan the option of praying to a turtle to, among other things, "summon a victim". Naturally, Midori is the female victim. In the video demonstrating the feature where mashing the Attack button while at low sanity causes the killing animation to loop, Yan-chan smacks Midori in the face with a baseball bat twenty-nine times (plus the initial blow that knocks her down). | |

Mook Chivalry | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_955aba87 | comment |
Mook Chivalry: If multiple Heroic personalities catch Yan-chan committing murder (for example, if you're dumb enough to charge the Martial Arts Club with just a piddly knife), they will politely attack you one at a time, allowing you to easily dispatch them. The Delinquents follow the same rules - they will wait for their friend to finish beating up Yan-chan before taking their turn. Averted as of the mid-January 2017 build – if Yan-chan attacks a student in front of four or more students of any personality combination, the witnesses will work together to restrain her, each grabbing a limb. However, the mechanic may later be changed to require at least one student with the Heroic personality to act as a catalyst for a group takedown. Also averted with teachers — it's perfectly possible for them all to chase you at the same time. | |

Badass Bystander | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_9633f14b | comment |
Badass Bystander: Anyone with the Heroic persona (that'd be the entire Martial Arts Club, the entire Sports Club, and Himari Fujita, one of the Gardening Club girls). If they see you kill someone, they'll run up and try to disarm you, even if it ends up costing them their lives. Budo Masuta, president of the Martial Arts Club. Unless you level up your PhysEd stat, he will completely overpower you. Raibaru Fumetsu — Budo's mentor and Osana's unofficial bodyguard — takes this up to eleven. Any attempt to attack Raibaru, murder someone in her presence, or carry a corpse past her will end with Ayano firmly pinned to the ground and her arm broken in at least two places. Her Strength stat is listed as 9 (higher than any other student in school), and bumping up another student's stats to match hers will give them the same abilities. If a student witnesses you murder someone they love (whether that's their sibling, crush, or best friend), they will attack you without hesitation, their strength suddenly bumped up to Budo's level. (Be glad that they don't go up to Raibaru's level...) Even students who don't attack can be this. If someone with a Loner, Social Butterfly, or Teacher's Pet persona sees you kill someone and get away with it, they will spend the rest of the game badmouthing you to the rest of the school, constantly draining your reputation, until you… deal with them. If you try to talk to them at this point, they'll tell you all this to your face. If four or more students witness you kill someone, they will gang up on you and work together to pin you down, regardless of their persona, resulting in an instant Game Over. The delinquents are usually content to hang out by the incinerator, and even if you provoke them into a fight, they will disengage once either side is too beat up to continue fighting. However, if you murder someone in front of them or get spotted carrying a corpse, they will attack without mercy and will only stop once they themselves are dead. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_98576799 | comment |
Throw the Dog a Bone: Most early videos showcasing elimination methods used Kokona as a guinea pig, but the June 1st 2016 update video finally showcased a method that does not require harming her in any way. Instead, Yan-chan befriends her and helps her out of an unpleasant situation. Then, when Kokona visits Yan-chan's home to thank her, Yan-chan simply asks Kokona to back off Senpai, which she agrees to out of a sense of honor. The end of that video states the next elimination method to be added to the game would be Matchmaking, which meant that unless Dev picked a different guinea pig (unlikely), we would get to see Kokona happy with another boy. Defied. The next elimination method implemented wasn't Matchmaking; it was Crushing and Immolation. Of course, when Matchmaking was implemented at the end of September 2016, Kokona was the test dummy again. To put the icing on the cake, Dev declared at the end that Kokona's time as the game's resident Butt-Monkey had come to an end. YandereDev will occasionally have Midori ask legitimate, non-stupid questions, including ones he'll admit he has no satisfactory answer to, such as how exactly the skirt inventory system will work if Yan-chan isn't wearing a skirt (whether that be because she's wearing pants, is naked, or is hypothetically a man) or why all the students keep coming back to school when it's obvious there's a serial killer loose in it. invoked | |

Working under the assumption that Twitch's issue with the game was the naked (though Barbie Doll Anatomy) Titans, YandereDev changed the texture of the Titans' skin... to a low-resolution photograph of what is apparently red feathers but when stretched kind of resembles muscles (it looks more like bacon). A later build changed the Titan skins again, this time to something more resembling the source material, exposed muscles and all. | |

Blaming the Victim: After learning Kokona gives the money she earns via Compensated Dating to her father so he can repay his debt, Musume (whose father is extorting Kokona's dad) calls them both "pathetic" and states people shouldn't borrow money in the first place if they can't pay debt. She even says Kokona's dad deserves anything that happens to him if he cannot repay her father. If students with the Spiteful persona see Yandere-chan kill anyone they don't like, they'll claim they "had it coming". | |

World of Technicolor Hair | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_9dbf9610 | comment |
World of Technicolor Hair: Characters with normal hair colours co-exist with students who have technicolor hair with no questions asked. Many of the earliest implemented students fall under the latter category: Midori has green hair, Kuu Dere has light blue hair, the Basu sisters have pink and purple hair respectively, Mai Waifu has pink hair and so on. Senpai has black hair by default, but he can be customised at the beginning of the game to have a more unusual hair colour. Some of the clubs seem to follow a pattern with the hair colours of the members. The members of the Drama Club all have purple hair and the Light Music club all have (most likely dyed) two colours in their hair. Downplayed in 1980s mode where most students have natural hair colors, though there are still a few with unusual shades, including half of the rivals. | |

Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_a3a32fd4 | comment |
Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction: If Yandere-chan can get proof of someone committing some sort of infraction or an act that would embarrass the school, she can then turn it into the school counselor in order to eventually get the student expelled for being a troublemaker. In the alpha builds Info-chan gives her a video of Kokona selling her used panties to boys. | |

Phoneaholic Teenager: The Bullies and the members of the Gaming Club spend most of their times with their faces glued to their phones. This actually works as a game mechanic, as each of the Bullies patrols one of the floors of the school (except Musume, who patrols the courtyard) and the Gaming Club plays a Pokémon GO-like game while class is not in session, and if they witness a murder or they discover a corpse their first instinct is to take a picture and send it to the police. | |

Leave No Witnesses | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_a8896b94 | comment |
Leave No Witnesses: Those who witness Yan-chan commit a crime (or just see a corpse) can have a number of reactions depending on their personality. For instance, Loners will run away and call the police, while Teacher's Pets will go to alert their teacher, and Social Butterflies will run to the nearest crowded area for safety (making sure to call the cops for good measure). If any of these types of student know you murdered someone and you get away with it, they will spread word of your actions, giving a constant reputation penalty. The simplest way to avoid this is to get rid of them. Unavoidable with the Heroic type. If they see you murder someone, they will run at you and try to take you down, prompting a struggle minigame. If you lose, it's Game Over. But if you win, they're dead. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Info-chan certainly counts. Yan-chan's eyes turn red while she is using Yandere Vision. The Mission-Mode-only character Nemesis has red eyes and is a nigh-unstoppable assassin. Before they were removed, Yui Rio and Haruto Yuto both had red eyes and Spiteful personalities. Borupen Saishiki is currently a red-eyed Spiteful student. Averted with Kuu Dere, who has red eyes but is harmless. Ryuto also has red eyes, and is harmless unless he sees you hurt his crush. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Zigzagged. Prior to October 2017, the School Nurse lacked any sort of AI. She could not be interacted with; all she did was stand around in the infirmary as Ayano stole a syringe and drugs from her. Her only reaction was when Ayano failed to pickpocket keys from her. The current nurse, however, has full AI and will call you out for stealing — and take you down for murder. She keeps a close eye on her equipment to keep you from taking it. You'll have to distract her by, say, non-fatally poisoning a student. Genka Kunahito, Akademi's Guidance Counselor, was only partly-functional until October 2018 – you could talk to her to tattle on (read: frame) your rival, but she lacked AI, so you could murder a student or twelve right in front of her and she wouldn't bat an eye. Now that she's fully implemented, when you enter her office, you immediately enter the dialogue sequence, so it's impossible to carry a corpse or weapon around her. This, of course, means that if you manage to break the game and bring one in with you anyway, she still doesn't bat an eye. Played for Drama in the Delinquents' backstory video, where the Guidance Counselor's inaction in the case of five students who were severely bullied led to them becoming the delinquents we see today. The only reason they weren't expelled immediately was that the Guidance Counselor struck a deal with the principal to try and rehabilitate them, as atonement for her mistake. If a teacher is alerted to a murder, she will run to the scene of the crime. But if the player has cleaned up the body, blood, and any other evidence, she will assume that she's being pranked and return to her normal routine. She doesn't bother asking the student anything more; she just acts like nothing happened. However, if the player fails to keep the murder scenes neat and a teacher sees it, she'll call the cops. If she then sees Ayano with a weapon and/or blood on her uniform, or if Ayano tries to clean up evidence in front of her, she will grab her and pin her to the ground. A base-stat Yan-chan is unable to overpower a teacher. The police aren't completely useless. If a murder is reported, they will arrive at the school within five minutesnote (that's real-time; in-game time is half an hour). If a murder scene is cleaned up such that there's no evidence that Yan-chan did it, but there's still evidence that a murder took place (like a spot of blood), they will still be suspicious of Yan-chan and keep an eye on her. If you leave any evidence connecting you to the crime at all, they'll arrest you on the spot. This includes if you managed to clean up everything but are still visibly insane. The cops will take Yan-chan in due to her "suspicious behavior", and the text blurb states that they will eventually uncover her crime (lack of evidence notwithstanding), so she will never be able to confess her love to Senpai. Played straight if Yan-chan decides to bully a student and gets the class involved. The teachers won't do anything to stop it or lessen the damage being done. The student can even be Driven to Suicide because no one is stopping the bullying. note This is tragically common in Japanese schools. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The members of the Photography Club formed their club as a way to hang out with each other, and avoid having to join an actual club. They use their clubroom to goof around, eat snacks, and read manga. That said, when the school's atmosphere bottoms out, they become your worst enemies. Even the ditziest students will end you if you kill the person they love right in front of them. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Inevitable, considering this is a game about a Yandere murderer in a Japanese high school made by an American. Some notable examples are the types of Japanese bullying, the creepy character archetypes (Kuu Dere and Oka Ruto are good examples), and the short skirts the schoolgirls wear.note Real Japanese school uniform skirts are about knee-length or so, though individual girls have been known to hem them up shorter. Prior to the mid-90's, they were calf- or even ankle-length. | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: The game's standard background music is much too cheerful for the game's premise. However, if Yan-chan's sanity drops (generally through murdering multiple people), the music will become distorted. If the school's atmosphere drops too low, the standard music will take on a more foreboding tone, upping the bass and muting the bouncier parts. Any of the Easter Eggs in the Debug builds that use copyrighted music (all have since been swapped out for soundalikes) – for instance, just hearing "Guren no Yumiya" in Titan Mode is a bit distracting. However, you can turn off copyrighted music or mute the music entirely… which makes the spectacle even crazier. | |

Students with the Loner, Coward, Phone Addict, or Spiteful persona will run out of the school after seeing a murder, severed limb, or corpse. Loners will call the cops; Cowards and Spiteful students will not. Phone Addicts will upload a photo to social media; if the photo is of a corpse or limb, this merely causes the police to head towards Akademi, but if the photo is of Ayano in mid-murder, this will cause an instant Game Over. | |

| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_ae0ef461 | comment |
Friend to Psychos: Info-chan, although she's not really Yan-chan's friend so much as they are mutually exploiting one another. If a Spiteful student happens to hold a grudge against another character, and they witness Yan-chan murder that student, they won't alert the authorities. The delinquents, who normally avert this (and will beat Yan-chan into a coma if they see her killing someone), play it straight if they witness Yan-chan murder one of the bullies, who in the past, bullied them to the point of considering a suicide pact before becoming delinquents to protect themselves. We don't yet know what exactly they did — only that it was responsible for their facial scars and Gaku's broken arm. If the delinquents see a bully killed, they will respond like a Spiteful student. | |

Takes Ten to Hold: If more than four people, regardless of their persona, witness Yandere-chan commit murder, they'll combine their forces and restrain her. However, when three or less characters see Yandere-Chan commit murder, unless they have the Hero persona, are part of the student council, or are teachers, are generally incapable of self-defense and resort to just running away if they have the Social Butterfly, Spiteful, Loner, or Coward persona, to calling a teacher if they have the Teacher's Pet persona, or snap a picture of her and send it to the police if they're a Phone Addict (or just happen to have a phone at that time). | |

Devious Daggers | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b15f8d35 | comment |
Devious Daggers: One of the main weapons Yan-chan can use, due to its concealability and accessibility, are knives, and the most frequently used weapon in update videos. Compared to the katana, the knife is Boring, but Practical. Obviously, a knife isn't as cool as a katana. However, unlike the katana, Yan-chan can hide the knife in her inventory, keeping it on her person hidden from sight until an opportune moment presents itself. In addition, the katana can only be found in a locked case in the Headmaster's office. You'll have to wait until he leaves the room and then steal the key from his desk to get it. On the other hand, you can find a knife lying on the counter in the Cooking Club, or — at least for development builds — on the roof, right next to a mop, bucket, utility sink, and Midori Gurin.

Predecessor Villain: Ayano's mother was once a student at the same school Ayano attends, and was also a psychotic love-obsessed murderer. She is strongly implied to be the subject of the Journalist's cassette recordings, and the Basement Tape confirms this. | |

Sanity Meter | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b351b856 | comment |
Sanity Meter: Represented by a cardiograph. Killing people, being covered in blood, and being around bodies brings it down; while looking at photos of or being around Senpai, secluding herself, or laughing maniacally brings it back up. Let it go down too far, and Ayano becomes visibly insane. This is problematic, since letting Senpai see you in this state will trigger an instant Game Over (and letting other students see her causes her reputation to tank), while letting a teacher see you being insane gets you sent to the guidance counselor. Played with a bit in that this meter doesn't technically represent Sanity Slippage – Yan-chan has screws loose to begin with (she'd have to, to conjure up a plan like hers in the first place). The meter just represents how openly batshit she appears. Losing a large amount of Sanity is also detrimental to your gameplay. A fully insane Ayano will be unable to tell people other than Senpai apart (making it impossible to interact with people), will begin to giggle uncontrollably (making it impossible to stay stealthy), will develop "intrusive thoughts" that manifest to the player as shadowy hallucinations of Yan-chan killing her rival, and will be unable to resist her murderous urges — meaning that you will automatically kill anyone who gets near you, with no input from the player. | |

Convenient Coma | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b3aa5504 | comment |
Convenient Coma: Averted. If a delinquent knocks you into a coma because you attacked them or they caught you with a corpse, or if you electrocute yourself into a coma with your own booby trap, you will be unable to prevent your rival from confessing to Senpai, which is very inconvenient indeed. | |

A major gameplay mechanic involves photographing high school girls' panties. This squicked many people out and was one of the primary reasons for people filing YouTube takedowns and the game getting banned on Twitch. Eventually, an alternative way to gain favors from Info-chan was implemented, where you can place listening bugs in important spots instead. The panty shot mechanic is still in the game, but you no longer have to use it if you want to work with Info-chan. | |

Because all the girls wear short skirts, it's inevitable they'll flash the camera if you kill them because of how you move their corpses (dragging them by an arm or leg). Don't bother taking photos, though. Info-chan's customers are perverts, not necrophiles. | |

Mistaken for Pedophile | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b4fb00f6 | comment |
Mistaken for Pedophile: A version in the debug builds that is not played for laughs. A conversation Kokona has with Saki indicates that her dad comes into her room and… does something to her when he's drunk. However, confronting Kokona about this lets her reveal that he actually goes into her room to cry and unload on her about his debt problems, which he incurred because he can no longer afford to pay her tuition. Exploited in the Mysterious Tapes. Ryoba Aishi was able to weasel out of prison time by convincing the court that the Journalist only went after her because he was a lecherous pervert. | |

Take That! | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: YandereDev likes to do this whenever outside forces attempt to prevent exposure of his game. After his video explaining the panty shot mechanic was flagged for inappropriate content on Youtube, YanDev added the feature to strip Ayano naked (with clouds of Censor Steam covering the objectionable bits... and only those bits. Although the characters all had Barbie Doll Anatomy anyways), stating this was his way of getting back at them. (This mechanic was later replaced: now characters wear a towel while nude, and are not visible to the player while they're showering. Presumably YandereDev got over it.) In mid-January 2016, YanSim got banned from livestreaming site Twitch without adequate explanation. As a result, the February 1st build opens with a joke Warning Screen with a Long List of "inappropriate" things the game contains – starting sensibly (bullying, kidnapping, torture, etc.), but becoming increasingly ridiculous (various states of sewage, game breaking bugs, an overworked programmer, "and much worse"). He later dropped the screen for being too narmy, but it got the point across. Working under the assumption that Twitch's issue with the game was the naked (though Barbie Doll Anatomy) Titans, YandereDev changed the texture of the Titans' skin... to a low-resolution photograph of what is apparently red feathers but when stretched kind of resembles muscles (it looks more like bacon). A later build changed the Titan skins again, this time to something more resembling the source material, exposed muscles and all. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
If you use an Easter Egg mode to kill Senpai… pretty much nothing happens. Yan-chan will somehow stalk him home at the end of the day and, in an Obvious Rule Patch, he'll magically come back to life the next morning. note Prior to February 2016, he stayed dead but the game acted as if he was still alive. Otherwise, it's the same as if you had killed any other student. This used to be true for the teachers, too. However, as of the "Sanity Animations"note (August 2016) update, killing a teacher results in her staying dead and a new randomly-generated teacher taking her place the next day. The game's code was later adjusted to trigger an "easter egg state" when the player has an Easter Egg activated. This means that Ayano cannot be arrested or apprehended, and many of the game's limiting features are disabled. This allows the player to mess around without having to deal with the normal rules of the game. | |

Romance Sidequest: While YandereDev had long stated that Ayano would have NO interaction, direct or indirect, with Senpai until the end of the game, he appeared to change his mind by 2017. In the Progress Report video from that January – much of which revolved around explaining Senpai's hidden Sanity stat – he floated the possibility of allowing the player to leave him anonymous notes and gifts as a way of restoring his sanity, in order to try and avoid the likely bad endings resulting from violently murdering Ayano's rivals (especially Osana and Hanako). Actually dating Senpai during the game will never be an option, so this trope is downplayed even if gift-giving is implemented. | |

Before the "Manipulating Students" update (where all of Kokona's scripted events were removed), if you performed the "Befriend" elimination sequence – where you ask Kokona to not pursue Senpai, and she agrees – but finished it by Tuesday night, Kokona would still pine over Senpai during her pre-scripted dialogue at lunch on Wednesday, which makes her come off as a liar. This was also the case if you somehow managed to pair her off with Riku by 5:30pm Tuesday. She would still pine for Senpai the next day despite otherwise spending her free time in blissful happiness with her new beau. | |

Irony | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: If Oka Ruto sees Ayano commit a murder, she'll refuse to let her into the Occult Club – or kick her out if Yan-chan's already a member – saying her aura is too dark and will attract evil spirits. If she hears Yan-chan is a murderer, she'll refuse to grant membership by saying she heard Yan-chan is possessed by a demon. The irony is that the Occult Club's activities consist of trying to summon a demon. She'll also note the irony of being kicked out of a club about scary things for being too scary. Shin Higaku, Oka's right-hand man and her replacement as club leader while she's not at school, has a similar, but much more logical, line if he sees Ayano committ murder. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: YandereDev has proposed allowing Yan-chan to join two different groups on opposite sides of school life – the Delinquents and the Student Council. Joining the Delinquents forces Yan-chan's reputation into the low scores and prevents it from rising into neutral zones or higher, potentially locking her out of certain school activities and making others more wary of her actions. Joining the Student Council saddles Yan-chan with a lot of extra responsibilities, and any misbehavior would get her kicked out immediately. Both are optional, and will likely carry powerful benefits to make up for it. The ability to join the Delinquents was finally added in August 2019. In order to pull it off, you first have to have a low reputation, dye your hair blonde (which takes money), and then defeat every one of the delinquents in a fight. Then, each of the delinquents will offer you a task to prove your worthiness to join their gang. These tasks are generally much harder than those offered by regular students: for example, one delinquent wants you to bring him a knife, which, while obtaining a knife is relatively easy, will bring your reputation down even further if anyone sees you with it. Another delinquent wants you to bring him $100, which will take you some time to earn in the maid cafe minigame. Finally, when you have done a task for every one of the delinquents, you can finally join their gang. Doing so grants you the ability to intimidate any student into doing favors for you, without befriending them first. Because being friends with students unlocks powerful benefits, joining the delinquents is more than a little OP — if you can pull it off. Killing a Student Council member sets the school atmosphere to its absolute lowest the next day, with incredibly stringent security measures all across the campus. YandereDev likens the consequences to raising the difficulty level to its highest possible setting. | |

Felony Misdemeanor | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c59cfa2e | comment |
Felony Misdemeanor: The causes for the Expulsion elimination method are usually extremely minor things. These run the gamut between taking panty shots, smoking, cheating on tests, minor theft, or simply kicking a(n obviously-malfunctioning) vending machine, things that would net the offending student a stern talking-to, detention, or family information at worst in reality. Granted, Expulsion runs on a five-strikes basis, so the player must go out of their way to paint their target as a repeat offender for it to happen. | |

Fan Disservice | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: A major gameplay mechanic involves photographing high school girls' panties. This squicked many people out and was one of the primary reasons for people filing YouTube takedowns and the game getting banned on Twitch. Eventually, an alternative way to gain favors from Info-chan was implemented, where you can place listening bugs in important spots instead. The panty shot mechanic is still in the game, but you no longer have to use it if you want to work with Info-chan. Because all the girls wear short skirts, it's inevitable they'll flash the camera if you kill them because of how you move their corpses (dragging them by an arm or leg). Don't bother taking photos, though. Info-chan's customers are perverts, not necrophiles. The giant naked Titans from the eponymous cheat. They were originally giant naked versions of the existing students, but with Barbie Doll Anatomy. In an attempt to get Yandere Simulator un-banned from Twitch, the dev reskinned them as skinless Titans, exposing their muscles. It's... rather less attractive. | |

Seamless Spontaneous Lie | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c856e477 | comment |
This is also a possibility when Ayano is sent to the guidance counselor. Technically, there are two options that count as this: "Lie" and "Excuse". However, "Excuse" will have Ayano come up with a reasonable (though false) excuse that will get her out of trouble, while "Lie" results in a ridiculous and obviously untrue explanation that will get her suspended. Some examples: (choosing "Excuse" when caught bloody) "This isn't blood! It's red paint! I accidentally spilled some paint on myself and I was just on my way to wash it off." (choosing "Lie" when caught bloody) "A car... hit a stray animal in the middle of the street... and the blood... splashed on me." (choosing "Excuse" when caught with a weapon) "I found something dangerous lying around, so I was taking it to a teacher to report it." (choosing "Lie" when caught with a weapon) "Someone ran up to me. And put this in my hand. I... uhhh... didn't see their face." (choosing "Excuse" when caught visibly insane) "I wanted to liven up the mood, so I put on a funny little act. I was only joking around. It was a joke." (choosing "Lie" when caught visibly insane) "Oh. Where am I? How did I get here? I guess I must have amnesia." | |

Video Game Caring Potential | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential: Yan-chan is able to play matchmaker and eliminate her rivals by getting them together with other guys as a nonlethal option. She can also befriend her rivals by helping them with their major problems. In turn, they could return the favour by agreeing to not pursue Senpai. She can befriend any student by helping them with something. The standard placeholder task is to help that person with their homework, but you can also get Hazu a drink of water, help Pippi with her broken video game console, retrieve Ryuto's lost bandana, or help Gema get a date. | |

No Name Given | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_ca87e3ec | comment |
No Name Given: "Yandere-chan", "Info-chan", and "Senpai" for much of early development. However… Yan-chan's name got a low-key reveal in October 2015. The social media website she can visit at night lists her as "Ayano Aishi". That name was further confirmed once the official website launched in Spring 2016. That same social media site gives Senpai's name as "Taro Yamada" (basically the Japanese equivalent of John Smith). YandereDev has been unclear about whether this name – along with the female version "Taeko" – is a placeholder or not. While he has expressed a desire to allow the player to choose Senpai's name, the inclusion of Taro/Taeko on the official website suggests that Senpai's "canon" name is set, regardless of how the rest of development goes. Info-chan still lacks a name. The Dev says she has one, but the player will never learn it, mostly because it's not important to the game. For over a month after her introduction, Midori Gurin had no name, so fans called her "Churuya" due to her first dialog being paired with a Nyoron Churuya-san panel (and her in-game character model bearing a strong resemblance to Tsuruya, at least at first). Her name became known once she appeared in the game and her Student Info page was accessible. The Journalist. It is unlikely that we will ever learn his name. | |

Word of God | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_cc4b45f6 | comment |
For the latter, the debug builds have several, accessed via a secret menu, all of which mess with the game in various funny or scary ways for the rest of the day. Whether any of these will remain in the final game (since Word of God insists the debug menu itself won't) remains to be seen; YandereDev has proposed allowing the player to enter cheat codes at the title screen, but whether this will actually happen is still up in the air. If it does get implemented, using any cheat codes would, of course, prevent you from winning the game or earning achievements. See the Trivia page for more information on specific Easter Eggs and cheats. | |

Sometimes in the videos or on the blog, YandereDev will explain elements of Japanese culture that are in the game, such as why Yan-chan removes the shoes from a girl as she tosses her to her death, what bullying looks like in Japanese schools, and what exactly Compensated Dating is. An early post on the blog also has information he learned from an actual Japanese high school teacher, such as what a typical day looks like. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
One of the personality types. In this case, their reaction to seeing a murder/corpse will be to run and tell their teacher, drawing them to the scene of a crime and making it more difficult to cover up. It is possible to make the Teacher's Pet look like a liar by cleaning up the scene of the crime before the student and teacher return. If Yan-chan successfully tidies up the scene, then the teacher won't believe the student. However, if the Teacher's Pet witnessed the murder, they will try proving that Yan-chan killed a student, constantly draining your reputation. Their fate afterwards depends on the player. However, it is recommended to kill them before another slip up happens or Yan-chan's reputation drops too low. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Aside from the whole killing people thing, the early builds of the game were fairly lighthearted and humorous. Now, not so much, thanks to nastier ways to kill people, the school atmosphere dropping, Kokona's issues, the Journalist's backstory, and more! However, it's downplayed in that unlike most examples of the trope, the game didn't really become darker over time; the plan for the game was dark from the beginning, and it merely took longer for the gritty aspects to be implemented. | |

When you are in the vicinity of Senpai, the screen turns saturated pink, a Heartbeat Soundtrack is heard, and your normal-paced walk turns into a slow, shy trudge as a series of increasingly obsessive animations plays, ending with a full-on yandere pose. Also, you drop whatever you're holding (weapon, mop, corpse, etc.). | |

Played for Drama in the Delinquents' backstory video, where the Guidance Counselor's inaction in the case of five students who were severely bullied led to them becoming the delinquents we see today. The only reason they weren't expelled immediately was that the Guidance Counselor struck a deal with the principal to try and rehabilitate them, as atonement for her mistake. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: It's unlikely that you would kidnap a girl and then frame her for murder while she's in the instrument case. But if the cops are called when that happens, the end-of-day text reveals that they found the girl asleep in the case and assumed she hid in there to avoid the authorities. Similarly, if the cops show up for any reason and you have a tranq'd girl in the instrument case, they will find her (she'll have no idea how she got there), and you'll be arrested if you didn't incinerate the syringe. It's unlikely that the school day would end during the five seconds between when a mindslave kills your rival and when she kills herself, but if that happens, the investigation text will say that the police arrested the mindslave. All the members of the Martial Arts and Sports Clubs have Heroic personas. Therefore, if a Martial Arts or Sports Club member catches you committing murder, they will usually either give you a Game Over, or die in the process of trying to restrain you. However, if you manage to find a way to avoid the struggle minigame, then attempt to join their club the next day, the club leader will have unique quotes explaining why you can't join. Some club presidents will be romantic rivals. note Specifically the leaders of the Cooking Club, Drama Club, Occult Club, and Sports Club. They will not appear before their designated week, but the other members will still be present and the club will still function. If a rival's club is disbanded before their week, a cutscene will play where the president discovers the fate of her club. Using mods or rapid-fire teleportation in the debug builds to glitch into the Info Club room results in Info-chan shouting at you to "Get Out!" before resetting the week (or crashing the game depending on the build). You can send Info-chan pictures of anything that triggers a camera flag. For example, sending her a picture of the kitten behind the school will have her say one of two things depending on the build. In Mission Mode, you have the option of being hunted down by a character named Nemesis. It's unlikely that you'll manage to take a good picture of her face, given that the ideal distance to do so is nearly the same as the distance where she can take you down, and the "face" icon used to indicate that Info-chan has something to tell you about that character doesn't light up for Nemesis. However, should you do so anyway, Info-chan has up to five different messages about her, along with one for a disguised Nemesis. And yes, you can take a picture of her panties, which gets a unique response depending on the build. Nobody in their right mind would walk into their own electrified booby trap. If you do so, you get electrocuted into a coma. | |

Murder Makes You Crazy | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d67d184b | comment |
Murder Makes You Crazy: Every time you kill someone, you lose Sanity. Lose enough of it without some kind of effort to regain it, and you become visibly insane and people won't want to deal with you (least of all, Senpai). Losing a large amount of Sanity is also detrimental to your gameplay, as a fully insane Ayano will be unable to tell people other than Senpai apart (making it impossible to interact with people), will begin to giggle uncontrollably (making it impossible to stay stealthy), and will be unable to resist her murderous urges — meaning that you will automatically kill anyone who gets near you, with no input from the player. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The Martial Arts Club allows Ayano to easily overpower others in physical confrontations. The Cooking Club lets Ayano easily build up her reputation by making snacks for her classmates. She can also carry a knife without drawing suspicion. The Drama Club provides access to gloves so that you can frame others for your crimes, and masks to hide your identity when committing murder (though the latter can only be used once). The Occult Club diminishes Ayano's Sanity Slippage when killing others, and makes students and teachers slower at noticing your suspicious behavior. The Light Music Club provides access to a cello casenote (realistically, it's too large to be a cello case; it's closer in size to a double-bass case) for transporting body parts and larger weapons. It also gives you the ability to play a concert for the school, which will dramatically raise your reputation if you do well. The Photography Club lets Yan-chan snap pictures of classmates without drawing suspicion, and prevents the rest of the club from seeing her as a suspect while investigating murders. The Art Club lets you safely walk around school covered in blood, under the pretense that it's just red paint. The Science Club has a homemade roomba that will clean up puddles of blood for you, and blowtorches that you can use to cauterize wounds so that corpses don't bleed at all. The Sports Club lets Ayano carry around a bat or dumbbells without arousing suspicion, and makes Ayano run faster. The Gardening Club lets Ayano carry around a shovel without arousing suspicion, and provides easy access to the garden shed (she'd otherwise have to pickpocket the key from the club's leader), in which may be found emetic poison and a circular saw. The Gaming Club allows Ayano to gain a temporary skill boost in any one of her stats that lasts for the rest of the day. | |

Delinquent Hair | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d75bf17e | comment |
The ability to join the Delinquents was finally added in August 2019. In order to pull it off, you first have to have a low reputation, dye your hair blonde (which takes money), and then defeat every one of the delinquents in a fight. Then, each of the delinquents will offer you a task to prove your worthiness to join their gang. These tasks are generally much harder than those offered by regular students: for example, one delinquent wants you to bring him a knife, which, while obtaining a knife is relatively easy, will bring your reputation down even further if anyone sees you with it. Another delinquent wants you to bring him $100, which will take you some time to earn in the maid cafe minigame. Finally, when you have done a task for every one of the delinquents, you can finally join their gang. Doing so grants you the ability to intimidate any student into doing favors for you, without befriending them first. Because being friends with students unlocks powerful benefits, joining the delinquents is more than a little OP — if you can pull it off. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Until early 2019, while people would react to bodies or body parts (body parts only if you were holding them), they would have no such reaction to blood, weapons, or body parts on the ground. If a Teacher's Pet called a teacher over to the scene of a murder, she would assume it was a prank if Yan-chan simply dragged the body around a corner, ignoring the blood trail. In early 2019, reactions to such things were finally implemented, with appropriate horror. The Magical Girl Wand Joke Weapon is (depending on the build) undetectable by police. You can leave it, obvious and bloody, at the scene of the crime, and the police won't find anything. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: If a delinquent witnesses a corpse without knowing you did it, he'll say this before running away. Students with the Loner, Coward, Phone Addict, or Spiteful persona will run out of the school after seeing a murder, severed limb, or corpse. Loners will call the cops; Cowards and Spiteful students will not. Phone Addicts will upload a photo to social media; if the photo is of a corpse or limb, this merely causes the police to head towards Akademi, but if the photo is of Ayano in mid-murder, this will cause an instant Game Over. | |

Video Game Perversity Potential | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_d9f4cb75 | comment |
Male students (specifically, the members of the Sports Club) will also use the locker room to change, and presumably strip nude as well. However, Yan-chan is not allowed to go into the boys' locker room — at the moment, an invisible wall holds her back, though this may be changed. If you cheat your way into the boys' locker room, you can see that the male students actually just teleport into their new clothes — as you're not technically supposed to be able to see them, there was no reason to animate their changing. However, the dev has suggested that in the future, Ayano may be able to go into the boys' locker room to spy on Senpai. | |

Beshi Takamine: Subversion of Meaningful Name, Punny Name Bassist, and the Odd Name Out. "Beshi" is "Bass" pronounced in a Japanese way, and Takamine is a brand of musical instruments that releases guitars and basses. A jack-of-all-trades, she can play almost any instrument, but none of them to a professional level, except for the bass, but that's not a huge character focus. Leaves complicated stuff to her bandmates. Willing to play back-up instruments (such as the maracas) when the song calls for it. | |

Anime Hair | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_daf4da31 | comment |
Anime Hair: Some of the girls have really crazy hairstyles. One has bright purple twintails, another has long corkscrew Miku-style pigtails, a third has an ahoge nearly as tall as her head, one has two-tone hair, and so on. This also applies to a few of the male students – most of them sport hairstyles that are themselves fairly normal, mostly following the "generic spiky-haired anime boy" cliché, but are bright primary or secondary colors. Then there's Ryuto, whose hair defies all logic and sense. Ayano herself can wear any one of several pre-made hairstyles, running the gamut from normal (like her default 'do seen in the image up top) to absolutely nuts (green corkscrew pigtails that fade to red). | |

School Setting Simulation | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_db9103de | comment |
School Setting Simulation: The game is built around a high school as its setting. As your main objective is to eliminate your rivals under a deadline to get to Senpai, you'll be blending in with the students and participating in class activities and clubs to raise your attributes, giving you more creative ways to murder your rivals with. Your constant obstacles will be the teachers, whom if they discover that you committed a murder, will catch you and get you expelled, triggering an automatic Game Over, and they'll usually defeat you in a Curb-Stomp Battle if you haven't invested enough in physical activities to stand a fighting chance. | |

Arc Welding | |

Arc Welding: The Befriend/Betraynote (June 1st 2016) Update ties together all the elements of Kokona's story. Her dad comes into her room when he's drunk not to abuse her, but to cry on her shoulder about his debt to a loan shark – debt he incurred because his late wife was the primary breadwinner and with her gone, he cannot afford the tuition to keep Kokona at Akademi. Desperate to help pay off the debt before it ballooned out of control, Kokona took up Compensated Dating and sold her used panties to a boy from another school. Her best friend Saki, knowing about Kokona's money trouble but not the depths to which she was diving to fix it, took it upon herself to help out by selling her underwear… but she got cold feet at the last minute and threw her bra over the wall, leading to her Friendship Task. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_dbb414ed | comment |
In addition, even if it is clear that a murder did happen, the police will give up if they can't catch the perpetrator on the day that the murder happens. The police will leave and the students will be allowed to go home. The students will return to school the next day (or Monday if the murder happens on Friday), and the police will not be there. Realistically, the police would have continued their investigation for weeks, and would still be there searching when the students returned. This one, at least, gets a Hand Wave (see the "Final Game" folder for details). | |

Knowledge Broker: Info-chan, a girl with a talent for digging up dirt on others and (initially) the president of the Newspaper Club. In the story mode's early development, she was the one who encouraged Yan-chan to murder her rivals so that she could write about the tragedy. This characterization fits with the implication that she is the daughter of the Journalist. | |

Despair Event Horizon: Any girl you torture will eventually cross this, leading to them becoming your mindslave. Ayano herself crosses this if she is prevented from romancing Senpai — i.e., you get a game over. Snap Mode is what happens after she's crossed the line and lost her sanity completely. It's… not pretty. | |

The Matchmaker | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_de19df2b | comment |
Yan-chan is able to play matchmaker and eliminate her rivals by getting them together with other guys as a nonlethal option. She can also befriend her rivals by helping them with their major problems. In turn, they could return the favour by agreeing to not pursue Senpai. She can befriend any student by helping them with something. The standard placeholder task is to help that person with their homework, but you can also get Hazu a drink of water, help Pippi with her broken video game console, retrieve Ryuto's lost bandana, or help Gema get a date. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare: Ayano was this before the start of the game. Sure, she's a sociopath, but before she met Senpai, she was perfectly alright with just plodding along, not bothering anyone. That all changes one fine day when she meets Senpai, and it's all downhill from there; she can do anything from blackmail to murder to torture-into-insanity. (This is, of course, in no way Taro's fault; if not him, it would have been some other poor soul who became the object of her fixation.) | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: A clear-cut case of Gratuitous Foreign Language. Being set in Japan, most of the characters in Yandere Simulator have vaguely Japanese-sounding names. While most are clearly meant to be Meaningful or Punny Names, in practice, they typically qualify only if you're using a "Blind Idiot" Translation, since the grammar and syntax are either awkward or incorrectExampleMegami Saikou, clearly going for "perfect goddess", but only vaguely so and only if the name parts are read separately. Moreover, "saikou" means closer to "highest" or "top", which doesn't fit the context and is never used by itself as a descriptor, or are rendered incorrectly into romajiExampleNasu Kankoshi, which translates into "eggplant nurse" instead of "nurse nurse". The correct romaji for "nurse" is "n�su" with diacritical mark, although the written kanji is correct Some characters will have Two First Names, others, two last names (e.g. Midori Gurin, a.k.a. "green green"). Put simply, these names would sound like absolute gibberish to a native speaker. | |

The Chew Toy | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_e4f5affb | comment |
Most early videos showcasing elimination methods used Kokona as a guinea pig, but the June 1st 2016 update video finally showcased a method that does not require harming her in any way. Instead, Yan-chan befriends her and helps her out of an unpleasant situation. Then, when Kokona visits Yan-chan's home to thank her, Yan-chan simply asks Kokona to back off Senpai, which she agrees to out of a sense of honor. The end of that video states the next elimination method to be added to the game would be Matchmaking, which meant that unless Dev picked a different guinea pig (unlikely), we would get to see Kokona happy with another boy. Defied. The next elimination method implemented wasn't Matchmaking; it was Crushing and Immolation. Of course, when Matchmaking was implemented at the end of September 2016, Kokona was the test dummy again. To put the icing on the cake, Dev declared at the end that Kokona's time as the game's resident Butt-Monkey had come to an end. | |

This also applies to any character known to constantly be on their cellphone – notably the Gaming Club, which is full of joke characters and expies.

If you don't catch and kill them by the point the timer runs out, you lose. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Midori Gurin is meant to be one of these. She's a Take That! at everyone who sends YandereDev unwanted questions or suggestions. All the other characters — especially the teachers — consider her an annoying idiot who wastes their time, and many development videos featuring her end with her being killed by either Ayano or YandereDev himself. However, depending on one's sympathy (or lack thereof) for YandereDev regarding his e-mail situation, she may instead come off as a poor victim or an Unpopular Popular Character. There are Asshole Victims aplenty in this game that Yan-chan can murder only to further get closer to her Senpai, but at least YandereDev designed them to be despicable for the general standards that they fit into this. Standouts include the bully leader Musume Ronshaku, who does everything on the bully notes with a glee, has plans to backstab her fellow posse when things go south, and happily indulges in Slut-Shaming and Victim-Blaming on Kokona when she realized that Kokona has been roped into Compensated Dating to pay off her father's loans coming from Musume's own father so she could buy off anything she wanted. Or one of your Ephebophile rival substitute teacher Mida Rana, who abuses her position of power to seduce younger students. | |

Point of Divergence: To get the "Happy" ending in 1980s mode, Ryoba must use a stink bomb during the tutorial to drive Ui Tunesu away from the cooking club, meaning she doesn't witness Ryoba stealing the cooking club's knife. This causes a chain reaction: because Ui doesn't witness Ryoba doing something suspicious, the Journalist doesn't suspect Ryoba of murder, and as long as she eliminates her rivals by non-lethal means, will continue to do so. This causes the last rival to not appear at all, and Ryoba is able to confess to Jokichi without the police arresting her. | |

It Was Here, I Swear!: If a Teacher's Pet student witnesses Ayano commit murder or sees a corpse, they will run to a teacher and lead them to it. If Ayano moves the body out of sight before the teacher arrives, the teacher will scold the student for pulling a prank on her. | |

Censor Shadow: In September 2016, YandereDev inserted a key-command that covers the girls' panties in shadow while keeping the panty shot mechanic in place. He did this to make it easier for YouTubers with monetized accounts to avoid their videos being taken down or age-restricted (thus unable to earn revenue). | |

April Fools' Day | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_eac3ee70 | comment |
April Fools' Day: YandereDev has established a habit of making April Fool's Day videos, dating back to 2015. For more details, please see the Trivia page. April 1st is a very significant date in the history of the game — it was on April 1st, 2014 that the game was first proposed (and began development the day after). YandereDev has proposed making it Yandere-chan's birthday, as an homage to the game's beginnings. As seen on the Calendar screen, the game starts on April 1st. The video showcasing SNAP mode happened to be released on March 31st, 2020. Considering SNAP mode had been hyped and anticipated for years, several comments noted that it better not be an early April Fool's Joke. | |

Shrinking Violet: Ayano gets this way around Senpai. She can't bring herself to confess to him unless she knows there aren't any rivals for his affection. Whenever he's near her, she'll drop whatever she's holding as she begins to lose her cool. If Senpai notices Yan-chan acting like this around him, he'll slowly get creeped out to the point that he'll eventually tell her to get lost, resulting in a Game Over. Oka Ruto, the Occult Club President, is this. Her default walk cycle is shy and nervous, and she speaks with a quiet, halting voice. Many of her lines of dialogue suggest that she's lonely despite being the leader of a club. Light Music Club leader Miyuji Shan was this the year before the game takes place. Over the summer, she completely and mysteriously changed her personality, so that now she is a confident, outgoing punk rocker. Shin Higaku, Oka Ruto's right-hand man, has many of the same mannerisms as Oka. Horuda Puresu fits the bill. She has bangs and the same default walk cycle as Oka, and spends all her time alone on the roof, reading. She's also usually the target of bullying. Anyone traumatized (but not mind-broken) by Yan-chan will become this. | |

One-Steve Limit: Some characters from the main game share their name with characters from 1980s mode. One of the female students is named Sumire Suzuki. The girl that Ryoba kills in the third floor girls' restroon at the beginning of 1980s mode is named Sumire Saitozaki. Similarly, the leader of the Drama Club in 1989 is named Daichi Suzuki. Geiju Tsuka's real last name, Tsuburaya, is the same as the Cooking Club substitude leader's, Shoku Tsuburaya. Efude Nurimono, whose real name is Eiko Nunomaki, has the same first name as a member of the Occult Club in 1989, Eiko Noguchi. The teacher of Class 3-2 in the present, Kaho Kanogoki, shares her name with a member of the Art Club in 1989, Kaho Miki. Originally Kyoshi, the gym teacher in the present, and Sumiko, the fourth rival in 1980s mode, both had the same last name, "Tachibana". A later update changed Kyoshi's last name to "Tachikawa". | |

Identical Stranger | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: Every male student uses Senpai's base model. Before August 2015, they were just palette swaps of him with less robust AI. After August 2015, the boys developed different hairstyles just like the girls always had, but it wasn't until March 2019 that they gained unique faces. Same can be said about the female students, who are all variants of the "Aoi Kiryu" character model (Yan-chan included) but with different hair/eye colours, hairstyles, and breast sizes.note Technically, the Basu sisters are from a different asset pack – the "Succubus Twins" – but under the hood they're identical to the "Aoi Kiryu" asset model used for Yan-chan (and all the other girls).Info-chan used a unique model in the prototype opening, but her in-game model is the same as every other girl's. Even the teachers used to look like an adult version of Yan-chan, except with brown hair and eyes. In fact, until early 2019, the only girls in the game whose faces were not simply Yan-chan's model with different irises were Rival-chan and Info-chan, the latter of whom is barely visible during normal gameplay. YandereDev has repeatedly attempted to give characters differently-shaped eyes. It took a long time to work, and in the meantime, strange and terrifying bugs happened as a result. It wasn't until early 2019 that these attempts finally worked out. In February 2019, all students finally got a unique face. Now in addition to having different eye colors, hair colors, hairstyles, bust sizes, and clothes, they have a variety of faces as well. | |

Cliché Storm | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f300ca44 | comment |
invoked And yet… Dev has gone out of his way to avoid the implication this is a "meme game". The update videos show very clearly that YanSim is, at its core, a rather serious game intruding itself upon a Cliché Storm setting that happens to have some funny things on the periphery, which a green player might not even notice unless they actively looked for them. | |

Breast Expansion | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f41b26d | comment |
Breast Expansion: In the debug builds, you can adjust the size of Ayano's chest from supermassive to nearly concave on the fly. Though the Dev has said that Yan-chan will be customizable in the final game, it is unknown if her bust will still be adjustable (either in a pre-game menu like Senpai's features, or in-game like the debug builds). You can do this with every girl if you know how to mess with the JSON file in the debug builds. However, things get weird if you set the bust size much higher than 2… or to a negative number. | |

Railroading: One of the critiques of the demo builds is how the game, despite laying out several possible means of eliminating rivals, only permits a few to be used successfully, with the rest prevented either by other game mechanics or Obvious Rule Patch. The schemes provided give detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform successful eliminations without much room for deviation, giving the impression that the game punishes player creativity. | |

Script Breaking | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f75c8193 | comment |
Script Breaking: If you use an Easter Egg mode to kill Senpai… pretty much nothing happens. Yan-chan will somehow stalk him home at the end of the day and, in an Obvious Rule Patch, he'll magically come back to life the next morning. note Prior to February 2016, he stayed dead but the game acted as if he was still alive. Otherwise, it's the same as if you had killed any other student. This used to be true for the teachers, too. However, as of the "Sanity Animations"note (August 2016) update, killing a teacher results in her staying dead and a new randomly-generated teacher taking her place the next day. The game's code was later adjusted to trigger an "easter egg state" when the player has an Easter Egg activated. This means that Ayano cannot be arrested or apprehended, and many of the game's limiting features are disabled. This allows the player to mess around without having to deal with the normal rules of the game. As of the "Befriend/Betray"*(June 2016) update, if you start Kokona's storyline, kidnap Musume, but then kill Kokona before the end of the day (making sure to clean up your mess), the rest of the sequence – filming the ransom video, having a text conversation with Kokona, and the cutscene of Kokona visiting Yan-chan's home the next morning – will still play out normally. However, Kokona will not be at school the next day or in your basement if you chose to "eliminate" her during the cutscene. Before the "Manipulating Students" update (where all of Kokona's scripted events were removed), if you performed the "Befriend" elimination sequence – where you ask Kokona to not pursue Senpai, and she agrees – but finished it by Tuesday night, Kokona would still pine over Senpai during her pre-scripted dialogue at lunch on Wednesday, which makes her come off as a liar. This was also the case if you somehow managed to pair her off with Riku by 5:30pm Tuesday. She would still pine for Senpai the next day despite otherwise spending her free time in blissful happiness with her new beau. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can sabotage a rival's social standing, damaging your rival's reputation to the point that she stays home in fear of bullies and Senpai refuses to accept her confession. Beyond that, you can further trash her reputation until she is Driven to Suicide – note that doing this is not required, as you will have already ruined her chances with Senpai; the only reason to do it is if you really have it in for the girl and want to twist the (proverbial, in this case) knife. Yan-chan can eavesdrop on students and learn their darkest secrets – drug addiction, Compensated Dating, pregnancy, etc. – and exploit them by staging their deaths as suicides or posting about it on social media to instigate bullying. It's also possible to torture and mindbreak students. This is especially cruel since the person you're doing this to is someone you befriended earlier, and since the end result kills two students, one of them your rival and the other one your victim as she kills herself after killing your target, having nothing else to live for. You can befriend your rivals just so that you can betray them after having earned their trust and kill them in a private location. This one's especially cruel because if you ignore the prompt to kill them, then Yan-chan will simply ask them to stay away from Senpai and they'll accept out of gratitude, meaning that there's no reason for them to die at this point. You can bully students with the Fragile persona to the breaking point, and then frame someone else as the cause of their misery and thus get them to murder a student of your choice without getting your hands dirty. | |

Running Gag | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Up through September 2016, any time YandereDev wanted to show off a new method of eliminating a rival, he would invariably test it out on Kokona Haruka, the purple-haired girl. Lampshaded in his poisoning tutorial. In the video for the August 2015 update, he refers to her as "everyone's favorite punching bag". When demonstrating the dismemberment mechanic, YandereDev uses Midori (his other Butt-Monkey) as the test subject, but at the very end of the video, he reveals that he had already dismembered Kokona and the video fades out with Yan-chan carrying Kokona's severed head towards the camera. | |

The school the game takes place in is called Akademi High School. Say it aloud and see what you get. note Amusingly, the characters do not pronounce it like "Academy"; they say it like it's a Japanese word ("AH-kah-deh-mee"). This pun works on two levels, as "Aka(i)" is the Japanese word for Red, which you'll be seeing a lot of if you play Yan-chan as a murderous psychopath. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: After reading an article about the game that expressed concerns about how it might be trivializing serious social issues like bullying, YandereDev wrote a thoughtful response that acknowledged the concerns and even considered including a mechanic in which if a student is bullied into suicide, the bullying option becomes unavailable, as the rest of the students become horrified at their actions. In 1980's mode, if a rival is bullied to the point of suicide, the court will call it a deliberate murder, thus contributing to Ryoba's guilty verdict worse case scenario. If you let the school atmosphere drop to very low levels, you will end up losing more reputation for suspicious behavior and students are more alert of your actions, making it harder to kill students. If the school's atmosphere drops to critical levels, members of the photography club will start patrolling the campus in search of the murderer, and will have you arrested immediately if they catch you and take a picture, thus making them among the toughest opponents in the game. Also, trying to damage a girl's reputation counts. If you don't get the details exactly right, your reputation will tank. However, if you uncover dark secrets, you can use this to your advantage by damaging the girl's reputation severely without losing too much of yours. Taking trophy shots of your dead victims will backfire tremendously if the police take you in for questioning and search your phonenote (if they search your phone; currently that mechanic does not exist). And no one is going to accept a panty shot of a dead girl – Info-chan's clients are perverts, but not in that way. While it is possible to kill members of the student council, doing so will upset Megami, causing her to add security cameras and metal detectors to the school. These new security measures will make other students feel like the school has become oppressive, so the school atmosphere levels will permanently drop to the lowest level. | |

Crime-Concealing Hobby: The Art Club allows Yandere-chan to get away with having blood-covered clothes if she's wearing a painter's smock. The Light Music Club allows Yandere-chan to use a cello case to carry around weapons or body parts. The Drama Club allows Yandere-chan to wear masks that hide her identity. The Drama, Gardening, and Sports clubs give Yandere-chan access to items that can be used as an Improvised Weapon, which she can carry openly without being considered suspicious. | |

World of Action Girls | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_fd8e3e9d | comment |
World of Action Girls: This game is rife with them. Ayano herself definitely counts. She will do anything to win her Senpai, up to and including murder. She knows her way around a weapon, can fight delinquents, martial artists, and teachers and win, and if you play the serial killer route, will spend a lot of time lugging around corpses. Asu Rito is the President of the Sports Club. She is described as extremely athletic, and her Student Info says that "many of her classmates predict that she'll be winning gold medals at the Olympics in a few years." Osoro Shidesu is the leader of the Delinquents, and the second-strongest student at school. She supposedly defeated an enormous group of bullies with her bare fists, and wears one of the defeated bullies' coats as a trophy. Most people at school are scared of her. Megami Saikou, the final rival, has been training her whole life to take over control of Japan's largest MegaCorp. As such, she has extensive self-defense training and will not hesitate to take down anyone who attacks her. Every faculty member at Akademi High (all of whom are female except for the Headmaster) is trained in self-defense. They will respond to a murder by chasing down and pinning Ayano to the ground, and if directly attacked, they will curb-stomp a base-stat Ayano. Kyoshi Tachikawa, the gym teacher, in particular. In addition to all of the above, she is a retired competitive swimmer and a world-famous athlete, with a total of 23 gold medals, including 8 won in a single year. Ryoba Aishi definitely counts, for the same reasons as Ayano. The whole Student Council, all of whom will chase you down and pepper-spray you if they catch you hurting someone. However, Aoi Rygoku, who serves as the council's enforcer, who is missing her right eye, and is explicitly described as "physically intimidating", particularly counts. Every girl in the Martial Arts Club, along with one girl in the Gardening Club (Himari Fujita), has the Heroic personality — meaning that they will charge Yan-chan if they see her committing murder and attempt to take her down, even if it costs them their lives. Raibaru Fumetsu, Osana's best friend, is the founder and former president of the Martial Arts Club. She may look like a cutesy Girly Girl with her Girlish Pigtails, pink scrunchies, and friendly demeanor, but if you attack her — or commit murder in front of her — she will tackle you to the ground and break your arm, resulting in an instant and unavoidable Game Over. In addition to being incredibly strong, she has lightning-fast reflexes, and will sense a sneak attack coming and easily dodge a bucket trap. Rumor is that she can even fight off a mindslave. She is incredibly badass. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: All the club leaders, except for Asu Rito, Amai Odayaka, Fureddo Jonzu, and Kizana Sunobu, are basically named for their club: Budo Masuda (His first name means "Martial Arts"), Oka Ruto (Her name is "Occult"), Gema Taku (His first name is basically "Game"), Geiju Tsuka (His name means "Artist"), Miyuji Shan (Her name means "Musician"), Kaga Kusha (His name means "Scientist"), and Uekiya Engeika (Her name (�木屋園芸家) translates to "Gardener Horiculturalist"). | |

Spear Counterpart: In test builds released prior to December 2015, the boys – well, the Rainbow Boys at any rate – were literally just male versions of the original six female students, although their AI base is different. Sending their photos to Info-chan revealed that the boys and girls who shared hair/eye color were in the same classes. They also used to be in the same clubs. The only real difference between them at that point was their personality type (girls were all "Loner"* {originally "Coward" before that term was mapped to a different type} and boys were all "Teacher's Pet"). Over time, things became much more varied, until late 2018 when the "Rainbow Twelve" were removed from the game entirely to make room for more important characters, with the excpetions of Saki, Kokona and Riku. The others did return for 1980s mode though. | |

BloodSplatteredInnocents | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_fec6ea72 | comment |
Blood-Splattered Innocents: You have the option to set bucket traps over doors, which will spill either water (to force the student to go to a secluded location to change their clothes) or gasoline (to light them on fire). However, if you do the work of murdering a different student and mopping up all of their blood, the bucket of water you dip the mop in will become a bucket of blood, which you can then use as a bucket trap. The student's reaction to being suddenly drenched in blood is exactly what you'd expect. While there is currently no special utility to dumping blood on someone instead of water (other than being especially cruel), this may, in the future, become a way to frame innocents for your crimes. | |

Heart Symbol | |
| Yandere Simulator (Video Game) / int_ffac0279 | comment |
Heart Symbol: The game's logo includes several of them, as does the title screen. Hearts will float above the head of any student you seduce... even after you murder them. If a rival passes by another student that has a quality they are fond of, they may look at them and give off little hearts. | |

Shown Their Work: Sometimes in the videos or on the blog, YandereDev will explain elements of Japanese culture that are in the game, such as why Yan-chan removes the shoes from a girl as she tosses her to her death, what bullying looks like in Japanese schools, and what exactly Compensated Dating is. An early post on the blog also has information he learned from an actual Japanese high school teacher, such as what a typical day looks like. In the January 2nd 2017 blogpost, while introducing a new game mechanic linked to Osana, he explains what an emetic isnote (if you drink it, you barf) and why there would be a bottle of it at schoolnote (so the nurse can make a student barf out poison). | |
