Oops! There was a bug in the previous build that prevented the player from being able to complete the tutorial. That’s no good! Bugs that impact the tutorial are a super-high priority, since bugs like that would have a very significant impact on a new player’s first impression of the game. So, I decided to release a new build right away with the tutorial bug fixed, along with a handful of other fixes and improvements as well.
To see a list of everything that was fixed or improved, scroll down past this haunting illustration by @saacs! (Some of their art is NSFW, so keep that in mind if you plan to look up more of their work!)
Improvements
- Some weapons (like the occult club) look outwardly dangerous. Other weapons (like earphones) look normal and innocent. Previously, the headmaster would instantly taze you if he saw you holding any weapon, even innocent-looking ones. From now on, he will only taze you if you’re holding something that looks dangerous, not if you’re holding something that looks innocuous.
- More surfaces (like the bridges and stones in the zen garden areas) now produce the appropriate sound effects.
- The protagonist’s shoes now make a different sound when walking on wooden surfaces.
Fixes
- If the player used a strangulation weapon to commit murder, the weapon’s outline would turn orange in Yandere Vision. This was incorrect, since only “evidence that can get you arrested” should appear orange in Yandere Vision, and blood does not appear on strangulation weapons, so they can’t ever count as murder evidence. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player murdered a rival by pushing her from the school rooftop and making it look like a suicide by leaving behind a suicide note, the Calendar screen would still state that the rival was believed to be murdered. This was a bug, and has been fixed.
- If the player killed a student by pushing them off the school roof, the Stats screen accessed from the Calendar screen would count that student’s death as two deaths instead of one. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player attempted to splash Osana with liquid while she was on her way to her Monday rooftop event with Senpai, Osana’s pathfinding would break. This bug has been fixed.
- Due to a bug, it was possible to perform a frontal attack with a garrote, instead of being required to stand behind your target in order to strangle them. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player attacked Raibaru or a teacher with a garrote, they would be stopped, but the garrote sound effect would still play. This bug has been fixed.
- There was a bug that prevented the player from being able to advance through the tutorial. This bug has been fixed.
- After strangling a male victim, the victim’s eyes would appear incorrectly. This bug has been fixed.
Yandere Simulator Development Blog

could you answer me plz
See when you will add the other rivals?
Hey I can help you out. Please see this!
Dunno if the link will work. Sorry!
god…why are you asking this on the blog? Or are you just kidding?
… The answer was long ago on the official YouTube channel.
Right now, Yandere Dev is doing some minor game editing for a crowdfunding company. Then, with this money, personnel will be hired to free the rest of the rivals.
I don’t understand why you wrote this here.
I think he says it in this video https://youtu.be/dz-ACZaVKt4
Tengo la misma duda
he’ll add them when they are ready
Hey Yandere Dev, I have a request/suggestion. I usually play the game at a comfortable average at 60 – 70 fps with a few minor changes in settings, but whenever I’m near the Sakura trees in the plaza and outdoors the frame rate goes down drastically to 20 – 40. I was thinking if possible, there could be a toggle to disable animations/petals falling for the trees in gameplay.
that’s smart!
So, I was wondering if this was on purpose or not but, when you kill someone in front of the Student Council you don’t get arrested instead it says you get expelled??? I was just confused.
you should report that as a bug
Improvement: When a suitor witnesses the death of the rival they love, they jut react with their normal personality. They should mourn on the rival if they see her dead.
love this
They don’t *love* the rival, they just have a crush.
Yandev, thank you for constantly working hard to make the game so great ❤
Aww, thank you!
Yandev, thank you for constantly working to make yansim the greatest game ever ❤
Thanks Yandev! I do have a question. The police can determine whether or not a body has been strangulated, correct? A strangulation weapon should contain DNA of the person who was murdered. If it was left nearby the body, and it also contains YanChan’s fingerprints, shouldn’t it also count as evidence, even if it doesn’t have blood on it? Thanks!
will there be a badge for the “strangle elimination”? thank u yan dev!
A badge? You mean, an achievement / content checklist item? No; it’s functionally identical to the Attack elimination.
alright, tysm! 🙂
Hello YanDev, I’ve encountered this bug where when I play 1980s mode the earphone weapon found in the light music club room is floating in air, this may be the same with other strangulation weapons in 1980s mode. Anyways, good luck and have a good day!
Also Ayano’s animation for when a teacher causes a game over if she doesn’t have enough strength isn’t working, not only that but when a student who is having a headache asks the nurse for pills she can not give the student pills if the player makes her pose with the camera.
I’ve reported that yesterday, xd. It’s funny how they fixed it so fast.
I sincerely believe that weapons used for strangulation or blunt force should be found by the police and constitute evidence of murder.
this could already be a good balance for the game.
Usually the police know what kind of weapon was used to kill someone, and if the player didn’t get rid of it, the police can find the victim’s DNA on it, I guess.
Especially if the player leaves the murder weapon right next to the body.
I have always found it strange that the police, using Saikou Corp technology, cannot find a murder weapon that is still on the scene.
I would like to add that a blunt weapon can have blood (even if not much) on it. and that with Yan-Chan’s fingerprints on the gun, there’s no reason for the police to ignore this evidence. ^^
gun?
Sorry, I’m using google translate.
I didn’t mean “Gun” but “Weapon” ^^”
there wouldn’t be enough dna of the victim i don’t believe, though i agree not being able to find a garrote is ridiculous. it’s an obvious murder weapon that is only used for strangling people to death. but things like headphones makes sense.
Yandev, there’s a huge bug with the new air unit elimination. Even if there were nobody underneath the place when the air unit fell, if a student walk into it after it landed they die instantly.
hey yandere dev! Is it possible that in the future you can choose the genre of ayano without mods?
I would like to allow the player to choose the gender of the protagonist, but in order to implement a male protagonist, I would need to pay a voice actor to record male versions of all protagonist voice lines, and I would need to pay an animator to create male versions of all protagonist animations. That would be hundreds of voice lines and hundreds of animations, which would probably cost thousands of dollars. So, I would only be able to implement a male protagonist if Yandere Simulator’s upcoming crowdfunding campaign is a massive success and raises an extra large sum of money.
I can’t find this artist anywhere 😦 what platform are they on
when i eliminated Amai in the Amai challenge it doesn’t give me the badge. I bullied her btw.
I’m pretty sure the whole point of Amai Challenge is to murder her directly, and get rid of all evidences, not just “bully her away”.
I’m pretty sure you have to do a lethal method… attack, push, etc
oh ok
PS the elimination must be done in 1 day
Você poderia me responder por favor. Quando você adicionará as outras 9 rivais modo 2023?
Well, I made an entire video just to answer that question…
…but, if you don’t want to watch it, I’ll give you a summary:
To continue working on the 202X rivals, I need voice acting and animations.
To pay voice actors and animators, I need money.
To get money, I need a successful crowdfunding campaign.
I doubt that anyone will donate to the crowdfunding campaign, because there is a bunch of misinformation on the Internet that causes people to believe that I don’t deserve any support.
I can’t do the crowdfunding campaign as long as there are so many false accusations about me on the Internet.
I will have to fight misinformation and false accusations until I have repaired my reputation. Then I will be able to launch the crowdfunding campaign, and then I will be able to begin working on the rivals.
I LOVE IT
and when I try to crush Osana, and I put note in her locker for her to go to outdoor cafeteria she goes somewhere else she probably goes to the indoor cafeteria instead or the outdoor one.
of
This really isn’t useful if you don’t know where she heads. Try following her, then report it how it says to on the website (send him an email with a video of the pathfinding bug, IE where she goes). Also, the only way for Osana/other students to pathfind to the indoor cafeteria is hearing someone giggle, or Osana’s Thursday “expel” event. (On Thursday, you give her chips, and she gets a drink in the indoor cafeteria). If you are doing her event, then give her a note, the events may overlap a little. Also, make sure you are giving the right note.
i told her at 4:00 pm on monday to cafeteria she talks at 3:35 not 4:00 but you do have a point bc i told her after 3:45
okay so something happened to me in 1980s mode, there is info chan?
it looks like a bug. when i open the student id on the notebook, there is no one but senpai. then i quit and go back for like 2 times and info chan just sends me a message, after that it opens the services screen. im confused about that
What…?
Can you record a video of this bug happening and e-mail me a link to the video?
i did in the name of ‘bug, info chan in 1980s mode’ hope u see it!!
i can’t find the user name who drew this beauty

strangulation weapons should contain evidence or dna of murder victims so you should have to throw away the weapons and sometimes like simple items will reappear but maybe it would slow down where there would be a week or a few without these weapons so you’d have to buy a necklace or anything that could be used at the convenience store.
Hello,
I’d like to report a bug, whenever I purchase a student uniform from info-chan the uniform falls from the info club room window, but before even touching the ground the uniform just disappears so could you please fix it? I wonder if it also disappears for other items.
Thank you
hi yandere dev, i have a problem with the recent build of the game:
when i am spying Sumiko’s event with senpai on monday the game crashes.. it shows a crash handler window, a bar that is loading and closes the game.
if you need details…
before updating the game.. i eliminated the rivals before Sumiko canonically.. but with Moeko i didn’t get rid of her corpse (with honami yes and i cleaned the blood).
then i downloaded the new update.
and since then it has been happening to me….
Hey YandereDev! I found several bugs.
1.There are headphones in the music club in 198x mode. (They are also on the air)
2. In 198x mode, for some reason the teachers’ faces turn purple.
3. Why is it impossible to strangle a person with a power strip in audiovisual room?
its quite funny how the teacherss faces turn purple i first noticed that in alphabet killer mode lol but its still a bug
And another bug. For some reason, Chigusa is posing in the shower building in front of the closet, but not by the pool.
yandere dev i found a bug! In mission mode the garrote doesn’t hace any sounds and uses the knife ones. (the knife sound can be heard also with the garrote sounds)
YandereDev! I found a bug!
When using the Strangulation Weapon
on nemesis the killing animation doesn’t show! D’:
Sorry – fixed in next build!
Hello Yandere Dev, I would like to recommend something that might help the game. When a suitor notices their loved one dead they just run off like any normal NPC, I think that if they react kinda like how Senpai reacts to Osana being dead it might feel like the characters has more life to them, but then again this is just a recommendation and if you don’t want it so be it.
Yandere dev, there’s one problem with the game mechanic, and it’s favors:
If you ask a rival to go away, she will go away even at lunchtime, and you don’t need to have a good reputation to make rivals do favors, distract, and go away.
And go away and destract options too.
1) You don’t need to increase your rep you just need to befriend rivals, ask them to go away, and wait for them at the labyrinth. This makes most of the game mechanics useless because you can ask rivals to go away, go to court at lunchtime, and osana at lunchtime go away. Without Raibaru, killing Osana is easy, and that makes most of the mechanics unnecessary and boring because why do you need to try so hard to distract Raibaru if you can ask Osana to go away at lunch time or ask Osana to go to court and don’t invite her suitor so she will be alone there?
2) At 1989, it makes all your efforts go to waste because you can ask rivals to go away with -20 rep and just kill them at the labyrinth or at the cherry tree.
Okay. In the next build, rivals won’t do favors for you (or go to the matchmaking spot) unless you raise your reputation to a certain number, and they won’t do favors for you (or go to the matchmaking spot) at lunchtime.
Hi Yandere Dev, I have suffered from a constant bug in which when I ask Info-Chan for something, the object crosses the floor and I can’t ask for it again until the next day.
This should be fixed in the next build.
cool！but hey dev，i wanna know that where is new character model？How are the new character models doing now? Has the model of the male classmate been made yet? I am very happy to add a new ground sound effect~~well done!Looking forward to the next update
The floating tarp bag bug:
step 1: do the first three things Kokona says in the tutorial “Dismembering Corpses”.
step 2: stack three tarp bags on top of each other (sense there is 6 you can do this with 2 tarp bags)
step 3: take the top one and incinerate it.
step 4: Lastly, take the bottom one and incinerate it and you will have a floating tarp bag
I’m trying to find the artist you posted here, but I can’t find them either on twitter, instagram or google. could you made post a link to their site?
Hey the Teacher’s Face is Purple 😂😂😂
Hello,
Multiple people have reported this bug, so I believe that it is a real and valid bug. However, I have never been able to encounter the bug by following the instructions that people have given me. So, I cannot investigate or try to fix this bug.
Do you have an NVIDIA graphics card? I have heard that this bug only happens if you configure your NVIDIA graphics card in a specific way.
If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, open the NVIDIA control panel and go here: https://i.imgur.com/asXikKL.png
Disable the “FPS Limit.” Let the FPS be unlimited. That may fix the problem, since it fixed the problem for someone else.
If that doesn’t fix the problem…
What FPS do you get when you play the game? If your FPS is lower than 25, this bug may happen.
If your FPS is higher than 25…
If you ever see objects/characters that are solid pink, this means that some of the game files are deleted/missing. Usually, re-installing the game will fix this problem.
It’s possible that you have an anti-virus program that is automatically deleting some of the game’s files. You might want to consider disabling your anti-virus before you re-download the game, and seeing if that fixes the problem.
why can’t you win the amai challenge with a mindslave? technically ayano is not spotted committing a crime, doesn’t alert anyone, and doesn’t talk to amai. ayano doesn’t alarm anyone, or even commit the crime.
I don’t know.
It’s irrelevant, though. Won’t be in the final game.
