Hello!
There was a bug in the latest build that wasn’t absolutely game-breaking, but was definitely easy to notice. I don’t want people to waste their time reporting a bug that has already been fixed, so I’m uploading a new build with that issue resolved – along with various other improvements and fixes.
To see a list of everything that has been added/changed/fixed/improved in the latest build, please scroll down past this phenomenal cosplay by @cos._.prince1395!
Iron Maiden Improvements
- The act of pushing a victim into an iron maiden and slamming the doors shut on them now has a unique animation, rather than a temporary animation re-purposed from elsewhere in the game!
- It is now possible to push someone into the iron maiden just because they are close enough, rather than only being able to push someone inside if they are following you.
- It is now possible to clean the interior of a bloody iron maiden by approaching it with a mop drenched with bleach water.
Improvements
- The “Rival turns head to look at a boy she is attracted to” feature has been removed from the game. It was extremely buggy, it looked janky, and nobody ever used it to determine what rivals were attracted to. However, rivals will still blush when they are nearby a boy they are attracted to, so you can use that to determine which rivals are attracted to what traits, if you really wish to.
- From now on, whenever the player is shoved by a student, the “shover” will move backwards a little bit. This should prevent the player from repeatedly being shoved by the same person while trying to get away from them after being shoved by them.
- From now on, befriending a student will instantly give that student a green outline in Yandere Vision (as opposed to having to wait until the subsequent day for the outline to appear).
- Made small additions to the area where Moeko lights a fire so that the area isn’t so barren (and has a reason to have a watering can present).
Fixes
- If the player used the “Pool’s Closed” sign to change sunbathing students’ routines, they would avoid the pool in the morning, but would try to return later in the day. Also, if they didn’t notice the sign in the morning and first encountered it later in the day, they would ignore it. These bugs have been fixed.
- Previously, students did not react in any kind of meaningful way to the sight of the player shattering a glass display case. From now on, students will react negatively to it, and the student council will send you to the guidance counselor for it.
- If a girl changed her routine after learning that the school pool was closed, there was a possibility that she would go directly into her lunch routine instead of her class routine. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player lost a struggle, the game’s depth-of-field effect would not update properly, causing the game over screen to appear blurry. This bug has been fixed.
- It was possible for Mission Mode to randomly generate a mission that involved a weapon which had been removed from the game. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player lost a struggle, the “struggle bar” would remain onscreen throughout the “lost a struggle” animation. This bug has been fixed.
- If the player put a corpse in a body bag in front of a mirror, the mirror would not reflect the bodybag. This bug has been fixed.
- Ayano and Ryoba now have the correct “face shapes” during stealth missions.

I feel that if you’re sent to the counselor for breaking a display case, you should have to pay for the damages. Even if you have a valid excuse (eg. “I slipped and fell into the glass with my fist out!”) the counselor should still be like “Since you still damaged school property, I will send a bill to you.”
thats so cool and realistic!
idk i think its kind of unnecessary and inconsistent from a game design perspective as it would be the only thing you would have to pay for if you got caught doing it
What if you didn’t have enough money to pay the damages?
Suspension?
Yay more content ๐
Love how quickly youโre updating the game! Thank you for your hard work ๐
YandereDev, can the plant in the science lab be named Gary?
Also #Justiceforfantasysword
why are you so obsessed with gary
Itโs an amazing name
yandere dev, please fix clubs activity stuck cutscenes. i couldnt continue with E button on the keyboard this act only happened when i take club activity everyday please fix i really dont like to always restart my progress ๐ฆ
Hello,
I attempted to investigate the bug that you reported, but I could not make it happen.
In order to fix a bug, I need to know the exact circumstances that are 100% guaranteed to always cause the bug to happen.
Have you been able to make this bug happen multiple times? Can you consistently trigger the bug anytime you try to make it happen? Can you provide me with instructions that I can follow to make the bug happen?
(“I don’t know what caused it, it just randomly happened” or “sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t” are not helpful bug reports, because it doesn’t give me enough information to investigate the bug. Please don’t report bugs under those circumstances, since there is nothing I can do about it.)
It might help if you send me a video of yourself re-creating the bug. (The video must begin BEFORE the bug has happened, obviously.)
Wow! Thanks to this when I completed a task and became friends, a green outline instantly see in Yandere Vision.
Thank you for the improvements you have made. (I was surprised you responded so quickly as I thought it would be fixed in the first update next month)
The iron maiden is such a cool concept, loving its improvements so far. ๐
yandere dev, can u fix this? look idk if its normal or intentional. I just know that it is kind of stupid. when I kidnap a student and at the end of the day go home (both in 1980s mode and 2025) the club that the student was in disbands. Just bc the student wasn’t there for the end of the day? like the student could’ve just when home early. imagine missing a day in ur club and suddenly u just see its gone. Can pretty please with a cherry on top fix it. I just lost gardening club privileges ๐ฆ
Not fixing it. Attempting to “fix” it just creates new bugs.
I wish there was an alternative way tbh. whatever, as long as the end result of yandere sim doesn’t have this. now I have to figure out how to get enough money for one of the rivals in 1980s mode, WITHOUT the yakuza (bc all the girls r in a club). thanks, anyway.
well technically the student goes missing as soon as u kidnap them so thats the reason the club disbands. also why do u kidnap people from clubs if you want to use the club’s benefits ? just asking
For a while, I’ve had an idea in mind to justify the club closing immediately the day that a student is kidnapped…the idea is:
The school texts every student at school to ask them, “Are you still interested in being a part of this club?” once per day, after school ends. All students in the club are required to answer “Yes” in order to count towards the club’s population.
However, this reasoning might be seen as goofy…
dude I just said it. in the 1980s mode it’s easier to kidnap and give them to the yakuza for money, lots of it. if you didn’t know, all the girls that you need to kidnap r in clubs. so, I can avoid this problem man. also the club disbands the same day when school ends, it doesn’t make sense. how would they know the person went missing so fast?
oops. can’t avoid it.
Maybe the headmaster knows that Ayano could use these clubs to benefit herself. Perhaps he knows that Ayano joining the gardening club or any other club would cause her not to look questionable while holding gardening supplies. This could explain why the headmaster has strict rules for when a club is to be shut down.
I wasn’t in the gardening club, if I was i’d still have it.
I understand that. But I meant a possible lore explanation.
Since you mentioned, this is my feedback on matchmake: I feel like no one is using “blush” and “learned opinion” mechanics because all you have to do is looking inside rivals’ bag. While this makes everyting faster it completely defeats the purpose on having matchmake as an elimination method, it ruins the gameplay and gives an access to a trivially easy method that is the same in every rival with no increasing difficulty. I think the fun part and the stealth part should be the main reason why a player would try for matchmake and I think that giving a motivation to a player to try to guess a rival’s interests by the process of trial and error would be a good game design choice instead of indulging the lazyness of the player by giving them all the answers by just pressing a few buttons. I hope this helps, all the work and time you are dadicating to this game is impressive.
I use it- now stop trying to make the game buggier and overly difficult.
You need to overhear Osana’s conversation with Raibaru. I hope I didn’t strangle you
I was talking about the 1980’s mode. How is the game gonna be overly difficult? I think it’s a quite easy and fun task to do… anyway it’s just my opinion
i used the iron maiden twice, and then my game got all buggy. i couldn’t clean it out a second time, the body disappeared when i used the kiln to incinerate it, and i couldn’t talk to anyone after class.
Hi Yandere Dev.So I was playing the game in mission mode and when selecting a weapon I saw I could choose one called Morning Star yet that weapon is not anywhere in the game making it imposible to complete the mission.Is it possible for that to be the name of a future weapon that was put there on accident?
Oops! This bug will be fixed in the next build.
Hey Yandere dev I realized what the bug was about, so in the final test in the tutorial when I giggle and wait for kokona to come back I approach her from the front so that she will notice me , and then when kokona says : Yan chan! That’s not right! I go near the sink and wash my circular saw and when It fades to white I keep teleporting. (Sorry for bad Grammer)
Yandev. Do you still plan on implementing a parking lot in Akademi? I think that it would be l a promising addition. And it would be great for the world-building of Akademi.
Yandere dev I think that the iron maiden is too easy and broken because we can kill everyone and its too easy to access it should be locked or be in a glass cover or something similiar because it’s so easy!
Yeah! And we could actually have to raise our stats or have some thing similar to the raincoat on so that yandere chans elbow won’t get bloody. (It’s still weird IK)
Hii, this isn’t that important. but when making food in the cooking club, the inside of the jar is completely empty, but on the outside its full.
It’s true, but…in 8 years, nobody has ever complained about this. I feel like it’s safe to just leave it the way it is…
YandereDev, you need to respond to the recent allegations.
Oh my god the video is scary someone call an exorcist
Hello YandereDev, greetings, hope you are doing well.
I just wanted to say something… well… interesting. I like re-watching your videos because your voice is very cool.
And of course, I love this game.
Thanks.
I got a mission where I had to kill a target using a morning star… When was that weapon added or is it a bug?
Hey Yandere dev,
I still don’t know if this is a bug or something, so I was just attempting to expel osana from school and when I stealed her phone and when I aimed my camera it was just my own phone (the texture, and I could still send things to info Chan) I took a panty shot and I could actually report it. It was very weird I guess…
Hey Yandere Dev, I’m sorry if someone already told you this but is it on purpose that if you push a student from the roof that the trash kinda rolls to the front? I don’t know if this is a bug or not
It’s intentional.
OMG we are flying through updates ty yandev and everyone working on the game for making yansim so amazing!! โค The time is flying by we are gonna have more rivals like that!!
Also I am so excited I’m gonna cosplay as Ayano at comic-con
Hey, Yandev, I have a quick question. Can you please remove the panty shot mechanic? Considering that the game is getting more and more serious it’s honestly quite creepy and feels weird even being aware of the option (since all of the characters look underage). Aside from that, I love the recent updates, keep up the good work! (This is not meant as hate/bashing, it’s just a suggestion).
I’m sorry, no.
Hi YandereDev. I noticed something while I was wandering around the main menu, and I found out that there’s a typo in the word “receive” every time it’s shown on screen. It’s written “recieve”. Just a little grammatical error, nothing to be alarmed about. ๐
Keep going. The game’s improving so well!<3
Yandere Dev, will the issue of characters walking in unnaturally cramped lines to the point where they are inhaling characters’ necks ever be resolved?
The game crashes when trying to load into a mission on mission mode. Anyone who could help?
Itโs possible that you are running a lot of memory-intensive programs simultaneously, which is taking up all of your computerโs RAM, leaving almost no available RAM left for Yandere Sim. To find out of this is the case, there is something you can try: Reset your computer and launch only Yandere Sim, without launching any other programs โ then see if the game still crashes.
Hello YandereDev, I wanted to know if you can correct a bug, it is the mida task of the martial arts club, because when I tried to get Raibaru off my back the mida task didn’t work (the fingerprints didn’t come out) so I couldn’t clean them
The footprints are inside of the tea house in the zen garden.
Hello, will be Yandere Simulator available for Russia if game realized in Steam?
Hey, yandere dev! I got a question if y
Sorry, what I meant to say is that I got a question for you if you don’t mind. Are you gonna have some more students in the game to have, talking events? Like how the 2 science club students and the the 2 sisters, making the game more lively? And is the School is design is gonna stay like it is, or your gonna change it in the future?
