Yandere Simulator is an upcoming stealth action video game in development by American game developer YandereDev.[1][2] The game centers upon an obsessively lovesick schoolgirl named Ayano Aishi, nicknamed and known mainly as "Yandere-chan", after the Japanese term "yandere", who has taken it upon herself to eliminate anyone she believes is monopolizing her senpai's attention.[3]

Story and gameplay

Yandere-chan (Ayano Aishi) with high sanity (above) and low sanity (below). Performing murder results in loss of sanity, making Yandere-chan look increasingly disturbed and unstable, with the game's graphics and background music also reflecting the change.

Players control Ayano Aishi (nicknamed Yandere-chan), an apathetic Japanese high school girl who has developed a crush on a fellow student Taro Yamada, nicknamed "Senpai".[4]

Development

Yandere Simulator is developed by "YandereDev", a 32–33-year-old freelance game developer identified as Alex and based in Temecula, California.[5][6]

Development for Yandere Simulator began in 2014, with YandereDev releasing test builds of the game for debugging purposes.[7] He has regularly released updates that add elements to the game, such as the ability to kidnap, torture, poison, electrocute, matchmake, and drown rivals, befriend other schoolgirls, small mini games, a town the player can earn and spend money in, and more.[8][9]

On March 1, 2017, YandereDev announced a partnership with tinyBuild that would help him with polishing, promoting and publishing the game.[10][11]

Twitch ban

In 2016, the game was added to a list of banned explicit games by the streaming service Twitch.[12][13] In a statement made to Kotaku, YandereDev blamed "self-righteous ideologues" for the ban.[13]
