Certain games are creepy. Yandere Simulator goes beyond that. My colleagues told me they had found a funny Japanese themed game, so I thought I would give it a try. It turned out to be the weirdest of stealth games, involving katanas, naked giants, underwear and boobs. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, to be completely honest.
The game plot is definitely worth going into: Yandere is a Japanese term that stands for a very specific kind of personality. Yandere girls seem to be good-natured and innocent, but they have a dark side: when they are obsessed with something (and they often are) they are capable of literally anything to get what they desire. The protagonist of Yandere Simulator, Yandere-Chan, is in love with an older boy from her school, her Senpai. The whole troubled situation begins because Senpai does not even know that Yandere-Chan exists. Our protagonist, making great use of common sense, comes up with a brilliant solution (please notice the irony): she is going to kill every other girl at her school so that Senpai has literally no other option but to fall in love with her. Eliminating the competence sounds like a good plan, right?
Every time we try to get close to Senpai the screen gets pink with shyness and Yandere/Chan gets so nervous she can't even speak!
Well the player's role is, at least, interesting. It is our mission to make sure that no one notices what's really going on. After killing every girl we need to drag them to an oven/dump where both the victim and our bloody uniform will be burned (we have one new uniform available per day). After that we can get started with our cleaning duties, no blood should be visible on the floor or the other students will (comprehensibly) start to get suspicious.
Attending lessons has many benefits: just for starters it provides a sense of normality, it helps you pretend that you are an average pupil at high school. It is also the way to acquire certain abilities that will be very appreciated in your "extracurricular activities". Finding people who roam alone around school and that can be killed far from everyone's looks is not easy, and attending language lessons can help with that. How? Well, after a certain amount of lessons you will be able to talk people into following you wherever you want, even to your own place (then you can keep them there as hostages). Attending physical education, for instance, will allow you to run while dragging a dead body. Skipping class will make your way to Senpai's heart a lot rockier so… it's time to study!
If you already think of this game as weird keep reading, because the best is yet to come. By using certain commands you can make the strangest things happen, don't try to find a reasonable meaning to them. You can change your hair to make it look like Son Goku's, change your boobs size, make giant naked titans appear while epic music starts to play or enter a really dark psycho (yes, even more) mode. Normal stuff. Ah, and there is a gossipy feature as well. In order to get information about which girls are interested in Senpai or which ones are planning to go on a date with him you need to contact Info-Chan, the equivalent of Gossip Girl in Yandere-Chan's high school. She has a particularity, though: in return for information cards she will ask for pictures of panties. To get them, you will need to approach your fellow students from a low angle with your phone camera. As you have probably guessed your level of popularity will decrease when trying to perform that kind of activity. It is also normal to see Yandere walking around with a toast or a toaster hanging from her mouth. Once again, don't try to find a meaning for what happens in this game.
Naked giants...
… and standard high school behavior. Yep.
Overall, Yandere Simulator is a very special game, and some of its features are even more shocking for those who are not familiar with the Japanese culture. The game is still in development and there is an update every two weeks, so who knows what Yandere Simulator will surprise us with next! As creepy as the game is, I found myself highly surprised to see how addicting it can be. Getting Senpai's love quickly became a challenge for everyone in the office!
