Hey! Have you read yesterday’s blog post? About all the new features and the big “Challenge for YouTubers“? If you haven’t seen it yet, please go read it!
Just as I predicted, after making such a huge number of changes to the game, some new bugs were created. I’ve prepared a new build that fixes the most significant ones. There might be another bug-fixing build in the near future, as well; we’ll see how things turn out.
To read a list of everything that was fixed, changed, or improved in the latest build, scroll down past this absolutely gorgeous cosplay of Ayano by devilfrei!
Improvements
- Replaced the placeholder “No Alerts” “No Newspaper” and “No Yakuza” icons on the title screen with actual illustrations.
- Improved the texture for the pink socks that Kaguya wears after her Task is completed.
Fixes
- If the player approaches a corpse holding a garbage bag box, a notification appears at the top of the screen informing the player that they must craft a bodybag in order to conceal a corpse. However, due to a bug, this notification was also appearing when approaching a corpse with a bodybag, too. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player started a new game with the “Rivals Only” or “No Laughing” challenges active, it would be impossible to complete the 1980s Mode tutorial, since the player would get an instant game over for killing Sumiko or laughing when the tutorial instructed them to do so. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player attended club activities while the other members of that club were holding objects in their hands, those club members would continue to hold the objects while performing their club activity animations. This bug has been fixed.
- One of the female “stretching before exercising” animations was causing the character’s skirt to clip into her legs. This animation error has been fixed.
- When the player opened the doors to the plaza in the center of the school, the leaves of the hedges would clip into the doors. This has been fixed.
- When students were performing their “rajio taiso” exercises, the game was only performing 2 of the intended 3 animations. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player completed Ritsuko’s task and gave her $1,000, the money would not actually be subtracted from the player. This bug has been fixed.
- The camera angle for watching the Light Music Club perform their club activity in 1980s Mode was incorrect. This bug has been fixed.
- While doing her daily patrol, Kuroko was getting stuck when trying to pathfind through the Art Room. This bug has been fixed.
- If the drama club leader was all alone in his club, he would perform a sitting animation in midair. This bug has been fixed.
- With the “No Laughing” Challenge active, it was possible to giggle while crouching. This bug has been fixed.
- The “Come visit the library!” flyers were using the wrong texture. This bug has been fixed.

wait, what?
Also YandereDev, in Week 9, in the girl locker rooms, some male Cooking Club members enter to give food. This shouldn’t happen cuz obviously girls are allowed there. Could you fix this oversight?
You’re doing amazing! Though I did notice a bug. While playing this build, I noticed that students that were ransomed to the yakuza still waved at you. Was this intentional?
P.S I love Sumiko’s task, it’s adorable!
Forgot to mention that you can put the cat from Sumiko’s task in the bag near Ryoba’s locker, should that happen?
There is a canon reason; the sedative used to kidnap the girls wipes any recent memories surrounding the incident. Source:
1. If you tranquilize a student, but get the police called the same day, the police will find her in the box during their investigation and there will be text that says something like “but character x can’t recall what happened”. Also, since kidnapped girls in 1980’s mode wear blindfolds, it’s safe to say they don’t know Ryoba’s identity while in the basement.
But since they were kidnapped and traumatized, wouldn’t they loose their spirt and be so detached that they don’t notice Ryoba?
what is left on the checklist?
omg····so，new model？···ok，i wait····（crazy）
OK, so the easiest way i used to kill Osana, and still can is overpowered. First i go into school with a screwdriver, or anythin u can bring from home- then i purchase a dark secret,I write a note to her abt the dark secret (7:00) then i interrupt her convos, and then she runs quickly upstairs, and Raibaru is 15 seconds late. Before she arrives i kill osana and move her body. easy.
I was watching the YouTubers challenge. I realized almost all of them keep using trash bags to dispose of rivals, in that way there’s not any complication to eliminate any of the rivals. What about if students still realize that you’re carrying a dead body? But not as fast as they would do it if you don’t use trash bags. What about if they slowly notice that you’re carrying a dead body? In that way the mechanic would be better.
Hey YandereDev,
I encountered a bug while playing the game. After I complete Kaguya’s task (on the first day). When I went to the next day, every girl was wearing pink socks!
Here is a picture that shows the bug:
Also, I don’t know if you got my email a few days ago. I encountered a bug while I was trying to drench people with water. After I drench them with water and they head to class, they change from their gym uniform to their school uniform just when they’re about to sit down at their desk!
I checked to see if the bug was still happening in the current build, and it’s still happening.
Here is a step by step video I made about it:
How do i update the game? I have to download the whole game again?
yes, go to downloads in his blog, and download it again.
or open the launcher
If you installed the game with the Yandere Simulator launcher, run the launcher, click the “scan for updates” button. If it finds an update, click that button again, and it will start installing the update.
I think it would be better if the club doesn’t shut down if we are part of it, because it will still have 5 participants…
Good idea
That is already an aspect of the game. That is already how it works.
agreed.

Moeko (rival 2) alternate requirement and task as follows:
Requirement: Must read a guys magazine.
Task: Must spread good gossip about Moeko’s interests to a male student.
Reason: Moeko wants to be seen as one of the guys. But she only wants help from someone who can show they know stuff about guys. She’ll suggest that she sees magazines by the benches at the pool. Go to the pool, pick up the magazine and read it like you would a manga. Once you talk to her and tell her info, she’ll then give you the task of spreading gossip that will increase her tomboy rep.
Sumiko (rival 4) alternate requirement as follows:
Requirement: Raise your Physical Education stat to level 2.
Reason: Sumiko will only talk to someone who’s fit enough. She’s good friends with the gym teacher and will recommend you to her. To get your stat higher, you need to speak with the gym teacher who will help train you. Once you do this, she will give you her task.
Ai (rival 3) alternate requirement as follows:
Requirement: Must buy and bring cassettes from the music store.
Reason: To show that you appreciate music, Ai wants to see your music collection. Go to the music store in town to purchase some cassettes to show Ai. Once you do this, she will give you her task.
Chigusa (rival 9) alternate requirement as follows:
Requirement: Give Chigusa candid pictures of herself.
Reason: Chigusa is feeling like the photos the photography club takes are too forced. She’ll only talk to someone who can give her candid photos of herself. After doing so, she’ll think that you not only have a good eye but now that she looks at you, you wouldn’t be too bad as a model. She’ll then ask that you join her in her photos.
Edit: To take pictures of her, she’ll lend you one of the photography clubs cameras.
Hey YandereDev,
I encountered a bug while playing the game. After I complete Kaguya’s task (on the first day). When I went to the next day, every girl was wearing pink socks!
Also, I encountered a bug in the previous build where I was trying to drench people with water. After I drench them with water and they head to class, they change from their gym uniform to their school uniform just when they’re about to sit down at their desk!
I checked to see if the bug was still happening in the current build, and it’s still happening.
The “pink socks” bug is now fixed, but how do you trigger the 2nd bug you mentioned? I can’t get it to happen.
Please record a video of yourself making the bug happen, and e-mail me a link to the video.
I originally emailed you the video I made on how to trigger the bug several days ago, but it seems like you didn’t get it. So here it is again:
Thank you for the bug fixes, YanDev. we really appreciate you for what you’ve done:)
Omg look at them posing😍😍
Funny, but I’ll have to fix this one in the next build…
” SHOCKING “Performance
I feel like garbage bags are still imbalance. Before, you had to go to the Home ec room in order to have a body bag. The only difference now is that instead of going in just 1 room, you have to go in 4. It only takes about 30 seconds to have body bags.
I know that you only have 5 body bags per day, but I don’t think that makes a difference whatsoever. That would only be a problem if you plan to kill more than 5 people in one day and I don’t think anyone would do that in a normal run (I’ve seen may playthroughs of people completing 1980s mode and I’ve never seen anyone killing so many people in one day. Plus, the atmosphere would drop like crazy)
I think it just balances mission mode or de abc challenge, but it doesn’t make a difference in normal mode.
My solution would be not having garbage bags available at school from the start and have to buy them from the store. Or maybe having limited garbage but not just for a day, but for the entire 10 weeks. Maybe 1 per week? or just 5 in the 10 weeks so that you really have to think in which rivals/students you use them?
Anyway, these are just some ideas because i feel like bodybags take away a lot of the fun i had with the game before:/
I hid a body in a locker before going to class to dispose of it later. I had to go to class twice to skip to cleaning time despite it being lunch time. Then I decided to go back to my save before going to class and it put me at before school. I knew the save system was still glitchy and since everyone was out of my way, I went to burn the body without concern. I dumped it into the incinerator and activated it and went to class. It told me there was still a corpse? But I already activated the incinerator? I went to class anyway and the police cutscene thing happened but when it got to the part about corpses, it said there was multiple when there was only one body. Then when I pressed E it just kept repeating they had found multiple bodies. Had to close the window.
Yandere Dev! I was thinking: What if Akademi had an event where there was a book fair for the player to obtain at least one or two stat books for free? I think it would be a nice advantage for new players, and would be a nice change to making the atmosphere more lively. 🙂
I like the idea, but I’d need to have the assets for a “fair” event.
One thing I dislike about Teiko’s task is that it is easier than Honami’s, although she is meant to be harder to eliminate than Honami (I think).
So what if for Teiko the player should retrieve each book from different places.For instance:
– library
– biology room
– langauge room
– chemistry room
– faculty room
– the room with video cameras
Of course, there can be any other rooms lol. Anyway, just an idea👀
When the challenge is included that we can kill rivals only with small sharp objects if we put a sleeping potion in the rival’s lunch, the game considers that we have poisoned her and failed the challenge
Oops…fixed in the next build.
Sumiko? You mean Sumire, right?
