Yandere School simulator APK

This is the Yandere School Simulator game for mobile devices.

If you're looking for the dangerous, obsessed, intense experience of a yandere girl approaching her target and leaving pain in her wake, this game is a decent window into the genre.

The game has 100 levels with multiple challenges to overcome. The goal is to make it through the school to your goal; senpai. Eliminate your romantic interests, get closer to your would-be love, and try not to die in the process.

What is Yandere?

Yandere is a Japanese term to describe a lovestruck person with a violent, obsessive twist.

It's actually a portmanteau, a combination of two Japanese words:

Yanderu, meaning sick, insane, or otherwise mentally ill.

Deredere, meaning affectionate or loving.

Combine them and you have a person who is mentally unstable and in love. While this could lead to a lot of different results, know that it's mostly a manga and anime term and character type that has gained a cult following--pun intended--because of its style.

The gist of yandere is simple. It's a person who will kill someone for the sake of their love obsession, and maybe even kill the obsession itself.

As a relatively new subgenre (as in more popular in the 2000s as opposed to its infancy in the 1990s and prior), it's often a girl who obsesses over someone else. Because of standard heterosexual couples in media, the love interest in most animated, bigger budget project is a male.

However, manga or Japanese comics are a major media format, and there is a much wider gender variety in manga. The yandere itself, however, is still often a woman because of its more novel appeal.

Or, to put it simply, audiences don't find anything cool or appealing about obsessive men that isn't already there. That's just a stalker. Sure, double standard worth the discussion, but it's fairly simple to grasp the reasons why. Yaoi or male-to-male love interest yandere where the subject has more feminine traits.

Lots of gender coding, but it is what it is.

How does this game stand up to other yandere games?

There aren't a lot of yandere games on the market, let along good ones. That said, since an infamous yandere game has been in slow development since 2014 and under discussion longer than that, at least it's something.

The game itself is fairly simple. Its a step up from a Unity assets game that has mostly attacks and random item pickup options, but there's a lot of room for basic improvement.

Suggestions to Devs

Quests can go a long way. Instead of just sending players to do basic attacks, stealth, or picking up simple items, why not have relationships and suspicion meters to keep up?

Aside from being detected, you can raise or lower levels of suspicion by accomplishing things in the game. Doing chores, working on assignments, being a part of a club, or just helping other people can reduce your suspicion.

Of course, not being obsessed would make it easier for the love interest to be taken by someone else--or, more realistically, cause dread in the yandere.

Lots of systems to play with. It doesn't need to be complex, but some more involved systems can go a long way.

Lots of people would be willing to playtest!
