Unity - Yandere Simulator [v2025-12-01] [YandereDev]

I remember playing this game in 2017, is quite fun with Sans mode (Parody Undertale), and when back to check this game after playing MiSide, and of course as usual the dev always disappoint, it already decades passed and the game never optimaze or friendly to modder, the game source codes itself already a mess put together to build a game and somehow worked, just that all nothing good about it.

Also i more appraise Two Russian dude with a Vodka who able to achieve what The YandereDev can't achieved in decaded.

Call me when there is an R18 Version of this or a mod. Until then, no idea why this is here. I suppose it could be mildly erotic, but just mildly. If you've been in the internet you should already know what this game is all about. No H here

This a generational mess of a video game, there so many different better games that came out over the DECADE. Yeah, let's move on. The game graphics does not look anything at all polished. This has been the same game over and over and barely anything has changed.

i came back to yandere simulator after a few years and now it's shit


remember saitama mode ebola chan and other stuff to just having fun when you kill everyone? dev remove all the fun and put bullshit lore than nobody asked for. what's happen to the funny schoolgirl murder game from 2015? now it's just a generic hitman cheap copy with schoolgirl

Game's poorly optimized, fairly boring and weird objective.
At least I can spy on our MC in the shower...
I can just kill everyone with quite ease to kidnap our target!!!
Reading the code provided my more entertainment than playing this game. Honestly, this game made me learning programming so I get in on the joke.
So for that I give it 2/5 - for helping me how to learn to code so I can understand just how garbage the code is, thanks yanderedev

Dear lord i remember when this first appeared on 4chan a decade ago.

Things were good back then, progress was being made and fun videos popped up every couple of months but then as the first two years went by less and less new content was added and more and more easter eggs flooded the game instead. Promise after promise resulting in nothing but excuses and the more people learned about what was going on behind the scenes the more people began to realise just how bad things had gotten or rather how bad they had always been.

A decade on from those early days on /v/ and this game is still nowhere near complete, full of bugs and glitches oh and of ofcourse the complete and absolute non existence of optimisation. That is what a decade of donations has gotten it's backers.

It's honestly sad when i think back to how much promise this game once had but YandereDev has more than earned the ire and contempt that is directed at him.

Desperate days require desperate measures.


Cons:
Yandere dev
Runs like shit
Not porn game

Pros: No

TLDR: He should have went with whole sex thing he had before in this game. Probably would have had more content.

Anyone that knows anything about this game, knows that it's hot garbage. Literally from the FOUNDATION, the CODE ITSELF and outwards, there is nothing about this game that can be considered good. A game with such a simplistic concept that has been developed for over, what, a decade now? And it is STILL this atrocious. It is genuinely a disgrace. There is no game worse than this one.

Bad game and bad developer, nothing more to say, don't waste your time with this. There are many other games and devs which need your support, just stay away from this game, the community that follows it is toxic, its creator is toxic, and the game itself is any programmer's nightmare.

tl;dr: Game made of funny noodle code made by funny noodle man.


Genuinely, anyone who wants to make a game- ESPECIALLY in Unity- would benefit from playing this game. This game is a perfect object lesson in making a ton of beginner-level mistakes and iterating on them before you've checked your work.


This game truly needs no introduction.

The idea of taking out the various rivals and immersing in the Yandere trope isn't actually a bad one at its core. How it's executed is often frustrating (fuck you, Amai), and lacks critical instruction. Info-chan can be a little helpful in pointing you in the 'correct' direction, but ultimately what is frustrating about these 'right ways' is that they are all meant to be equally difficult, and so don't end up rewarding the player for critical thinking at all.

In all fair play, after YanDev made the change from JavaScript to C# awhile back, and the game DID run a bit cleaner after that. If you have watched any piece of media covering Yandere Sim, you likely have heard that his code is spaghetti. This is true. A hallmark of his style is multiple long chains of 'else-if' statements set in update loops for every NPC in the game.

Further, one of the drawbacks of using a fuckton of high-poly, store-bought assets and implementing no LOD means that, regardless of where these models are, they are rendered at full detail. If this were one, two, or even ten, there might not be too big of an issue. But, the game renders a large number of these NPCs to populate the school.

The review below is ONLY about the game. If I were to get into the history behind the creator and the weird shit he's involved in this would turn into a whole essay but other people have already done that and made it extremely interesting to follow. Trying to keep it short, the two main things that absolutely kill this game is the technical faults and the lack of content. Turn this game on and you'll push barely 30 FPS on a mid-tier gaming computer with your fans sounding like jet engines. Just horribly optimized. As for the content, it's been out for years with nothing to show for it. More and more promises on characters and storylines come by with few of them ever really fulfilled.

Honestly it's hard writing anything positive about the game, it is the best case of should have crunched and made a mediocre game than this sad joke.

At best it simulates the experience in a very clunky fashion.
It has sandbox ambitions but you're still locked into a semi-story but the story itself is void of anything noteworthy.
Beyond the bugs and the crashes it just doesn't deliver anything engaging and it's clear that the developer/creator were banking on the "simulator" craze but out of clear inexperience wants to make the most "polished" game before release while also adding more bells and whistles without ironing out the details.

The very troubled history of this game and its current state make me loose hope, that this is going to get close to finished any time soon.
It lacks critical content,
is poorly optimized and has the development-pace of a mountain.
Its only going to get better, if YandereDev hands over this game
to someone that is actually good at making games

Yandere dev did it and that's enough to understand that everything is bad, but the game is 4 out of 10, it's a pity that he abandoned the main game, I'm very sad but I'm not crying sorry for my bad English, I just don't give a shit

its yanderedev thats enough to dislike this game. not to mention countless bugs, terrible optimization and game being not even close finishing even tho its "been" in development for years. for the love of god dont support yanderedev and just let this game die

It´s a piece of grabage, unfortunately I can´t be impartial in this case simply because almost a decade ago I played this game´s "demo" (which at this point is basically the same it´s available now with tiny droplets of """new""" content) and after this much time it´s still the same, it´s understandable that sometimes games may delay or content just comes slow because of the many reasons games like this go slow be it small teams or any of the like but this one along with the other game about raising monster girls on a farm are 2 of the oldest scam games that have been trying to stay alive by leeching unto unsuspecting people which don´t know a thing about them.
Even today I like the concept of this game but to give it anything besidesthe lowest score is just naive and insulting to anyone who actually put any faith on this scam game and just received years of silence and basically a middle finger to the face after being patient and supporting the dev.

This game is probably the most unoptimized piece of garbage ive yet to witness.

It lags on high end pc(HOW) There is close to 0 content added after years of development(Once again, HOW)and currently there is not much of it anyway(A lot of vague and unfinished ideas)

I wouldnt recommend touching this unless you hate yourself. The only reason this has 1 star is because thats the bare minimum and we cannot go to minus points(Which would for me hit immediately minus 8)

this is an honest review about what there IS in the game.
not about the promises alex (the dev) made, about alex himself and his very concerning past, etc etc.

the game is a mess.
thats it basically.
broken unbalanced dead content everywhere.
nothing to do.
boring as hell.
god awful settings that do nothing.

im going to keep this short because i really dont wanna start drama but the game is absolute garbage and i have 0 idea why the hell this is even on this page.

even none sexual content games are at least laid out in a lewd way, this literally has nothing to do with porn.
as alex himself said "this is a combination of hitman and persona 5, but even better".

Just gonna give a fast update or take on the situation of the game

-Its been 7 years when this was still in its alpha and 2 years pass on its promise deadline release of the full game.

- my fps is gone. tnx

I actually vaguely remember hearing about this game somehow many years ago, and liked the concept quite a bit. I was pretty interested in seeing it on this site as it had completely escaped my mind.

However, I have to echo what a few other reviews are saying and it's not fantasy or rumor for me, but it just happened today. I don't have a super computer by any means, but it is good enough to make decent renders for my own game, and play normal games with reasonable 60+ FPS. This game just doesn't have good performance technically. It's bad enough that it completely detracts from both immersion and enjoyment.

I am still giving it two stars because I like the concept, but I have no hope this game will technically be able to perform long-term, and that's not even considering the ambitious scope of the game which might make it worse.
