In yesterday’s blog post about the rival video, I briefly mentioned that I asked five different musicians to compose music for the video. You may be wondering why I gave the same task to so many different people! The reason is because there is never a guarantee that a volunteer will be able to finish a task that they have been given. Sometimes they have to stop contributing to the project because an important job came up, or because they need to study for exams, or because of family issues / health issues, or because they simply lost interest in the project. All of these things are perfectly understandable! Volunteers are generously helping me out of the kindness of their hearts, and have no obligation to do anything I ask them to do. As a result, I often give the same task to multiple people, to increase the chances that least one of them actually finishes the job.
In the case of the rival video, out of the five musicians that I asked for help, only two of them actually finished the job. (The less-than-50% success rate demonstrates why it’s necessary to hand out the same task to multiple people.) This means that I had to make the very difficult decision of deciding whose music would actually be featured in the video. For the “Official” music video, I chose to use the track created by the talented Taylor Ambrosio Wood.
The Damprog Music team also completed a track for the Rival Introduction Video. It’s a really great track, and I don’t want it to go to waste, so I’ve uploaded an alternate version of the Rival video featuring Damprog’s music. You can check it out here:
In addition to the alternate rival video, there is one more thing to mention today. The official website’s “Characters” page has been updated with 10 additional characters!
Who are these folks? Head on over to the Characters page to learn more about them! Just be aware that some of them won’t have very much information in their profiles, because some things are meant to be a surprise…
I really like the music in this video.
Uh, there’s a bug with the website. Everything’s on top of each other. Anyway, love what you do!
at least on safari
I’m having that too!
I can’t see the characters because of the bug… f*ck I was very excited for this!
For the record, anyone who’s reading this: if you press up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,A,B into your keypad, another character will appear….you’ll see for yourself 😉
that actually worked
Bruh.
Liar
It’s up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,B,A
Holy shit
How? it didnt work for me 😦 can someone take a screenshot?
Go to the characters page, do the konami code and do it as fast as you can.
Woah…
Put the words in google translate…
Maybe a dlc character?
HOLY SHT. IT’S FUN GIRL! 0-0 You guys don’t know??Well she was removed in the years ago(not sure if it was October 2015 build)
OH DEAR GOD THAT’S HORRIFIC
on that secret character page it says in Japanese:
OH DEAR …
Who are you?
Hehe …
Nice to meet you.
We are going to have a lot of fun together.
Can someone just take a screenshot I can’t see it

SNAP MODE
I think I like this music more, they’re both great but this one is more appealing to me
Amazing Yandere Dev 🙂 So cool.
Is it just me, or is Yan-chan’s mom also yandere? It would appear that Ryoba Aishi is the star of the 80’s mode.
Ya. It’s true.
Was that already confirmed? If so then whoops.
It’s almost like there was…(ahem) “Another” series of murders decades ago!
yes,she is the murderer in 89,but she and her senpai(Yan-chan father) does not know that Yan-chan is a yandere too
ps:sorry bad english
if you listen to the basement tapes you can pick up on yandere-chan’s mother putting it together that her daughter is going to be a yandere girl just like her
I also think of that
Female Senpai♥
Alright so..
I see Info-chan, and I think I also see Yandere-chan’s mom.
But I don’t known if im seeing this correctly
hey pal just click the link under the silhouettes and you’ll see all the characters!
I don’t understand what’s going on. Are this characters in the game already ? Please help!
Most of the rivals are not and some of the characters are in the game but are not fully developed and functioning.
these are the characters set for the game. Just in case you don’t know, this game isn’t finished. But in the final game, these will be the rivals.
First off I wish there was a version to download on a chrome book and second I think the man with the blue hair and the man in the wheelchair are part of the Saikou family and the ghost person is the first person Yandere Chan’s mom killed.
Yes you are
Who is the one next to senpai? It isn’t Yandere, cause it has long hair and is not Info-chan, cuz her shadow is after the headmaster and guidance counselor. Also it appears she is holding a phone? Maybe Midori GurINUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!? v: -But Midori only send message not calls…is she evolving her methods of capting the attention of Devpai? .v.-
I think it’s female senpai
FEMALE SENPAI HAS ME SH00K
Devpai the character page has gone batshit crazy on sifari
You should do a male rival! Like a “bro” type rival who has a bromance with senpai and will bring Yan-chan’s reputation down to make senpai hate her. 😮
Elimination method, convince senpai his friend has a gay crush on him to make him uncomfortable and stop hanging out with him.
I definitely agree with this. the game should definitely have one or more male rivals that yandere-chan needs to deal with. I even have an idea for a special dlc rival that puts a special challenge for the player. I would love to talk about theories and suggestions but yandere dev-san does not like listening to suggestions and I’d never want to disrespect dev-san’s wishes.
I like the alternate music way better than the original. The transitions are really nice.
When on character page press with keyboard up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,B,A you will get a ghost kind of girl, we have seen many pictures of her. What does this mean? Do we meet her? Will she be in the Final game? Is she an Ally? The words translate to
OH DEAR …
Who are you?
Hehe …
Nice to meet you.
We are going to have a lot of fun together.
Holy jesus!
That’s “Fun Girl”, a character inspired on W.D. Gaster from Undertale. You could see her by playing with the game’s code, but she’s gone since February 15th’s build.
There is a lag for the character page. All the words are stacked above one another. It could be because I’m on an apple computer but idk i rlly wanted to see it :^)
I’m on crome and it works just fine. Try another search engine.
Only on Safari mate, try Chrome
I have tried the Chrome app, it still doesn’t work. Kinda sucks since my wifi has blocked the website on my computer….
If you want to know the identities of the three mysterious characters, then check out my video where I show you the identities of these characters (all of this was found in the source code of the website)
I think the purple-haired man is probably the last rival’s dad. They’ve got the same coloured hair, but that’s all the evidence I have. He’s probably also the CEO of something, but maybe not the school. I didn’t think schools had CEOs, but there is a wikipedia page about it. Who knows, really.
If you read Megami Saiko’s bio, you’d know that she comes from a rich family and genious family who knows that there is a threat on the school. If you read the Journalist’s bio, you’d know that there was a girl who he investigated and claimed guilty (Ryoba Aishi), and the girl talked her way around the court case to slander the Journalist and free her from captivity. His personality is also “determined”, so his daughter, (Megami Saiko) was probably gone for 9 weeks because she was discussing how to deal with that school threat with her father, mainly for her father to seek vengeance on the Aishi family.
In the Rival video, the same logo on the old man’s wheels are seen behind Megami Saiko. I’m assuming that’s her grandfather.
thank for the speculation video production quality on fleek
Questions: I saw “Lovesick” on two different personality types, and that reminded me of a rumor I heard where YandereDev was thinking of changing the name of the game to “Lovesick.” Did that go anywhere? Or did he scrap that plan?
Also, what’s 1987 mode? Is that a DLC or something?
He did do a video on changing the name to Lovesick: Yandere Simulator (something like that) to make it sound more serious. A lot of games with the word “simulator” in it are mostly just funny non-serious games but YandereDev isn’t trying to make it like that so he thought adding that would make it sound more “serious” in a sense. He did a poll on it but I’m not sure if he’s going to change the title of the game or not. I don’t think anyone knows if the 1987 mode is going to be a DLC but I THINK it’s a special easter egg in the final version of the game
Dev already said that 1987 mode will be available to play after completing the main storyline. It is probably not going to be a DLC.
from what i’ve heard the 1989 mode is where you play as yandere-chan’s and try to win the heart of yandere-chan’s father. i’ve also heard there will be 10 rivals just like story mode but the only rival we know of is the phantom girl however it is also possible that the phantom girl is murdered in the intro cut-scene. This might not be true it’s just what i’ve heard.
sorry you play as yandere-chan’s mother
Hey! I have a question
In the final game, we can eliminate all rivals with the methods we want?
For example … Match all rivals with someone?
Or we can only some specific?
Or kill them all with a kidnapping and a slave?
The removal methods are blocked after one use? Or something similar?
-I do not speak English, blame google errors-
It’s probably up to the person if they want to kill the person in a non brutal way or not. Maybe some rivals might be easier to do it with the matchmaking method or any other method that’s brutal. Its a stealth game so I think it’s up to you, the player, how you want to do it. in my personal opinion that would be pretty boring if you can only eliminate a rival in one specific way (unless they’re the most hardest rival which would be probably nessassary).
I definitely don’t want to kill Senpai’s sister for fear of sanity. I’d say befriend her. I’d befriend Osana or make Senpai hate her… Amai I’d probably poison. It’s difficult because the more people you kill, the more of a vegetable Senpai becomes.
Does anyone else find it kinda hilarious that the illustrator gave all of the women oddly sized breasts? I mean, like… Even the school girl rivals have large breasts. And the older women are absolutely ridiculous. Some of them make sense to be sexier than others, but… I’d love to see which part of Japan has an average of such extremely busty women like that, lol
Hiroshima and nagasaki where people get all sorts of minor radiation birth defects till today.
I bet the ghost was the girl Yansere-chan’s mom has killed in 1989. Who agrees?
*Yandere-chan’s
Yan-chan’s mom is so pretty! ^_^
I know her name’s Ryoba, but I like calling her Yandere-San, as a higher level of respect than -Chan.
I loved those musics! It really creates the game atmosphere. I honestly don’t know which music soundtrack is better, but I find this one more energetic. Now I understand how it is horrible to choose between two amazing jobs. They are both great.
Aaaand I just headed for the characters page and OMG THERE IS GOING TO HAVE A FEMALE SENPAI! Yeah! Can I make a lesbian couple? I think this would be pretty original for a game: the absolutely “I don’t care” behavior for homo couples.
” the young murderess was able to escape a guilty verdict by manipulating the emotions of the court”
I feel like Yan-chan’s mother was a lot like Amy from “Gone Girl”: a true manipulator.
My theory: the man facing away with the sky blue hair and the wine glass is probably related to the 10th rival of the game, and the man sitting down at the very end is the loan shark leader, or the father/grandfather of Ronshaku.
from what i’ve heard the 1989 mode is where you play as yandere-chan’s and try to win the heart of yandere-chan’s father. i’ve also heard there will be 10 rivals just like story mode but the only rival we know of is the phantom girl however it is also possible that the phantom girl is murdered in the intro cut-scene. This might not be true it’s just what i’ve heard.
sorry you play as yandere-chan’s mother
The dude in the wheel chair is megamis dad because there is a saiko logo on the wheel
He’s too old, sweetie. He was probably in charge of Saiko Inc. when Ryoba was attending school.
anybody else having problems with downloading the launcher?
There’s a bug on the website yandere dev! Hope it gets fixed soon!
It’s got 100 legs!!! Nah jk
I think the new music is much better, especially for Osoro. Still, I think it’s better with Oka and Megami’s music from the other version.
Is anyone else having trouble viewing the Characters page on the official website?
If the guy in the wheelchair starts talking about grails or worms, I’m outta here.
Nice. I am waiting for that video ! 🙂
I loved both music, but that one is more original and energetic. A female senpai? I want to play with her! ♡ I absolutely love her ♡
There is a problem with the character info page
When using the up up down down left right left right B A thing, did anyone else’s screen ‘zap’ to black after a while? Spooky…
I love this music selection way more !!!! just saying
Old man is the investigator in the present and owner of Saiko electronics. Man with the wine glass is the CEO of Saiko and the son of the investigator. His daughter is the final rival. She knows about Yan-chan and her family through her family’s past and won’t let history repeat itself.
I mean it makes perfect sense, the investigator was probably in his thirties when Yan-chans mom was a teen which explains why he would be so old. Their faces are identical in the art work as well. He also has the Saiko symbol on him. The last rival’s last name is Saiko and she shares the same hair color as the wine man. She also clearly knows abou Yan-chans true nature. It all adds up so well.
Wait, the timeline is really confusing. Ryoba was supposed to be like, 17 in 1989, right? It’s been confirmed that she had Ayano at 19. How the hell is Ayano 17, in 2017???????
the old man … he has the Sayku Logo on his shirt !!! do you think it might be the manager of Sayku enterprise? if it’s the case … maybe it’s the father of Megami Saiko … no, too old … so maybe the grand-father. But so … who is her dad. to answer to this question, let see what we know : Sayku corporation fnow about the presence of a murderer, There is a gost of a girl who was murdered in the 80th, and Megami who can’t come to the school because of her dad … Dou you think that the ghost is the mother of Megami and the daughter of the old men ? That mean Ayano’s father is Megami’s father… so megami and ayano are sisters !!!!
(a little weird)
another theorie … megami is simply adopted
*know not fnow
I saw a lot about the year 2017 being the time the game takes place. we could have a late 2017 official demo or release date? =,)
Argh, I wish the Kickstarter would be successful enough so we can get a male Yandere-chan.
That would make it Yandere-kun, right?
No offence, but I don’t like using -chan and -kun as gender pronouns.
And what is the next for the game Devpai?
Great job, YandereDev. I can’t wait to see rivals in games.
But I think character introdution webpage is too long and complex to see. How about to modify the webpage UI design?
For example, You can make a character select buttons like this site(https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/). If visitor click charactor button that want to know, entire charactor image and information will appear in the bottom space of buttons.
Forget Senpai,,,I’m running away with Osoro
hey where is yandere-chans father the old senpai of the 80’s
I think the Phantom Girl is Megami Saiko’s mother
No, sorry, I read the description, I’m dumb, lol. The wine glass guy is Megami Saiko’s father and the wheelchair man is her grandfather. The Journalist idk, he may be Info-chan’s father?
Does Kokona stay in the Game without being a rival?
