Players who want to be able to sleep at night can also channel their stalking abilities in order to gather intelligence on rivals in order to pair them up with another student, far away from Sempai. There are even some rivals who can be driven to suicide, for players who do not wish to get their own hands dirty. With the right damning pieces of evidence, rivals can lose social standing and become hated on campus. Information on the rival can be discovered via eavesdropping, snooping, or from an information broker in exchange for panty shots. The player as Yandere-Chan will then have five days to somehow eliminate the rival, either literally or metaphorically. Every in-game week, a new rival for Sempai's love will appear.

The three main modes of doing so in the game are Social Sabotage, Blackmail, and Murder. She instead secretly shows her love and obsessive dedication by destroying any girl who develops a crush on her Sempai. Yandere-chan cannot bring herself to confess her love to her Sempai, becoming paralytically shy whenever the play attempts to walk near him. She is so enamored by this boy that she can not bring herself to actually use his real name and instead calls him "Sempai", a term used to indicate one's upperclassman. Even though this upperclassman is objectively rather milquetoast, from looks to abilities, Yandere-chan has fallen madly in love, with a great emphasis on madly. According to the story, Yandere-chan is a Japanese high school girl who was incapable of feeling emotions, good or bad, until she met an upperclassman named Taro Yamada (the Japanese naming equivalent of "John Doe"). The player starts the game by taking on the role of Ayano Aishi, commonly known as Yandere-chan. In the game, the player takes on the role of a school girl named Yandere-chan as she becomes helplessly love-sick- an event that spells doom for the potential rivals in love around her. For the uninformed, the Japanese term "yandere" referrs to a person, often times a young girl, who is crazy in love with another person to the point of aggressively violent psychosis.


The game gets inspiriation from the "yandere" anime trope.

Yandere Simulator is a Hitman-style, stealth action computer video game developed by YandereDev.
