Yandere-chan

"I can't feel anything. For as long as I can remember, I've never been able to feel emotions. I pretend to be normal when I'm around other people, but on the inside I feel nothing. It's not as bad as it may sound, I know that I'm broken, but I don't care. This is normal for me. But everything changed when I met him. My Senpai. For the first time I felt something. A strong desire. A longing. A yearning. A craving. Now I finally understand what it's like to be human. To be alive. I'm addicted to the way he makes me feel. I don't care about anything else. He is everything to me. And now, someone is trying to take him from me. She wants him, but not in the same way that I want him. She could never appreciate him the way I do. She doesn't deserve him. He belongs to me alone. She has taught me a new emotion: Rage. I want to stop her. I want to hurt her. I want to kill her. There is nothing I won't do for Senpai. I won't let anything come between us. I don't care what I have to do. I don't care who I have to hurt. I don't care whose blood I have to spill. I won't let anyone take him from me. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. Senpai will be mine. He doesn't have a choice."

- Yandere-chan in the Intro. Ayano Aishi (Nicknamed Yandere-chan) is the villain protagonist of the independent PC game Yandere Simulator, a stealth game similar to Hitman, but based on the yandere character archetype commonly seen in anime and manga (i.e. Yuno Gasai, Shion Sonozaki).

Despite her being A Murderer, she is The Main Character of the game and The YouTube Video, I Want My Senpai Back.

Yandere-chan is a Japanese school girl who is obsessively in love with her "senpai" (upperclassman), referred in-game only as "Senpai-kun". She is also highly sociopathic, and will use any means necessary to prevent other girls from dating or even showing interest in Senpai-kun, up to and including murder. In addition, Yandere-chan will also obsessively stalk Senpai-kun, take photographs and even steal his belongings without his knowledge, adding them to a shrine dedicated to him she keeps in her room. Yandere-chan may even kidnap Senpai-kun and hold him captive in her basement

Throughout the game, Yandere-chan eliminates several rival love interests using a variety of methods, including kidnapping, driving them to suicide, framing them for crimes, and murder. Yandere-chan is skilled at using a variety of improvised weapons, including knives, scissors, axes, baseball bats, crowbars, and even a katana to deadly effect, as well as using methods which make it look like an accident, including poisoning, electrocution, drowning, and throwing her victims from a building, making it look like suicide. While Yandere-chan is normally cunning, calculated, and efficient, when she commits multiple murders, she seems to build up a blood lust, at which point she will dispense with efficient methods and murder her victims in a particularly brutal and sadistic manner.

After committing murder, Yandere-chan is required to hide the evidence of her actions, including disposing of the body, typically using an incinerator near the school, as well as mopping up any blood and dispose of her blood-stained clothing. If she fails to do so, or if she is caught in the act and restrained by a teacher or student, Yandere-chan will be arrested by the police and imprisoned.

As of now, the game is under development, though an early build version has been released, in which the player has no objective, but may explore and randomly kill characters in an open-world version of the school.
