After asking too many murder-related questions online (for your book), you get an invite to a... serial killer chatroom?!
What the fuck?
SO YOU'RE A SERIAL KILLER. SUPPOSEDLY.
A reporter by day, an aspiring writer by night: you've been asking all the important questions on the dark web.
Like, how do you bury a body? How do you kill someone with a crowbar with the right angle to cause blunt-force trauma? What's the best way to hide from law enforcement?
If you're to write a good crime book, this is how you'll do it.
Suddenly, ERROR! UNKNOWN invites you to a server... with a warning. "don't be so obvious smh You're Gonna Get Caught".
...
It's a serial killer chatroom.
You may be slightly fucked.
WELCOME TO HELL, LOSERS!
Play as a (fully customisable!) character as you…
- Desperately pretend to be a serial killer… just like the other
girlsserial killers. So they don't kick you out. Or kill you. Oh god, they might kill you for accidentally infiltrating their chat. - Get to know some killers. You might as well scope this out, right? No better chance to gather accurate first-hand data for your book.
- Huh, they're actually kind of nice? Maybe you can make some friends.
- You really shouldn't be texting as much as you are.
- You're getting… DM's? Multiple DM's?
- Oh shit, he's hot. And she's hot.
- Maybe you can… date… some murderers?
- What even is your life.
Yup, you heard us right! Killer Chat is a dark satire romance chatsim where you date serial killers. Pretend to be a serial killer, get inspiration for your book, fall in love, and try not to call the cops through a whirlwind six months with your murderous beau of choice. Who knows? You might find your happily ever after... or headline the news as a gruesomely lovesick corpse. It's honestly up to you.
FEATURING WHO OTHER THAN... YOURS TRULY?
- Customisable MC! (Name, username, personality, gender, face, body, clothing, accessories, what kind of
pseudoserial killer you are...)
- Four
serial killerslove interests across all genders (male, female, non-binary)... - Story-rich, choice-based branching towards 8 unique endings.
- Make voice and video calls to the server's serial killers, listen to voice messages, get them to accept your friend requests, and more!
- Write your own status, biography, and messages in chat!
- Four illustrated CG's.
- Custom-made OST and sound effects.
- A playtime of approx. 2-3 hours per route, 9-12 hours for all routes.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
Death, murder, references to abuse, and serial killers... ... but you knew that.
MEET THE SERIALS!
AND THE REST...
(An arsonist, a slasher out of the '90's, a surfer who trips into killing, a lonely hearts poisoner ... you'll have to play the game, won't'cha?)

Why can't I opened it 🥺😭
the voice actors are doing too much sometimes, specifically ronin's, V's and vince's vas. listening to that forced raspy voice was a pain in the ass. while completing ronin's route i was seriously considering to turn the voice acting off because it genuinely was unbearable. MAYBE I'll let it slide for ronin because he might be doing that on purpose but not for others
overall the game is amazing, visuals are peak. i also really like the fact that there's a lot of ways to customise your character
chose ronin just because he had something about JD in his bio 😭
make feli romanceable give me my french girl she's the hottest bitch in this place
first part was insanely rude and not needed
It was definitely phrased harshly, but it’s just honest feedback about their experience playing. Voice acting can make or break immersion, so if a voice feels forced or painful to listen to, a player is going to react strongly. They still praised the visuals and customization, so it’s just a blunt review, not mindless hate. But I do agree that the phrasing can be rather crude to listen to.
AHHHHH I LOVED THIS. at first the voices where iffy, but the longer I played the more they grew on me. and, LORD, Ronin's route was crazy and awesome and sweet all at once! 10/10 game
I remember playing this game a longg time ago! But it is still a classic. I enjoyed every character but Misaki is the one character I would play this game all over again for!!
There is an error on the Ronin ending where you have to type in your own answer but Angel doesn't acknowledge my correct answer OR an error occurs and it forces me to rollback.
THIS GAME WAS GREAT OMG I WILL 100% PLAY IT AGAIN TY FOR MAKING THIS
I genuinely can’t explain with words how this celestially beautiful piece of art touched so many specifical parts of my soul, heart and brain
BTW AMAZING VOICES SPECIALLY AHEM AHEM RONIN’S
I’ve played a lot of these games but this one
Oh my god. Oh my sweet, sweet loooord.
oh my.
I’m obsessed
I could hear every little puzzle inside of my mind doing “click… tac… tac… click… tac… click…”
perfect
this masterpiece is the definition for perfection itself
I’m absolutely mesmerized
I’m so down bad for it, great job
I really mean it; great, perfect, divine, beautiful amazing job
Thank you
I’m sorry for being so dramatic about this but, genuinely, great fucking job
I love you
May all your dreams fulfill and come true, I love you
I’m so mesmerized, this is actually the best game in the entire-whole universe
From here to the n last generation I shall show my gratitude and adoration to you
Good job
I can’t belive it
omg I love this game so much!!!! and RONIN IS SO HOT OMGGGGGG AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
GOD THIS GAME IS GENUINELY ONE OF THE BEST I'VE PLAYED! not because of misaki no no... heh love you misaki
im..ngl, i didnt understood anything that was happening.
Okay, so I love this game! I first went for Misaki's route (I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, MY LIFELONG PARTNER IN CRIME) and it was so cool messing around with them and the executioner bot. V had the most wholesome route in my opinion, and it was cool to slowly realize that Ronin wasn't a terrible person. At first, I hated him so much, and his voice was assaulting my ears (he sounded like he was trying to piss me off with each word, but that is accurate character-wise, so props to his VA). But in the end, Ronin isn't that bad. I guess he grew on me. And I can't forget about Angel, her """Bad ending""" is probably my favorite.
hola hice una fans traduccion en español, pueden verla en mi perfil!
Hello ! I really like your game. I am a French translator so if you want some translation, don't hesitate to answer me.
its important that you know HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! misaki....sigh....misaki.....
Peak, bought it on steam- and as a person who plays a lot of dating sims, this is one of the best.
Ah, if only there was more sweet romantic moments with Misaki. -w-
there will be more in expanded edition once it’s out! :)
hey so, wondering if anyone can help me with this? 😭
so I have a Chromebook (with Linux enabled ofc); when I try to run the .sh file (which I'm assuming?? is the game file for Linux?? idk maybe I'm wrong), it gives me this:
"
Ren'Py platform files not found in:
/home/porcelain/lib/py3-linux-aarch64
Please compile the platform files using the instructions in README.md
or point them to an existing installation using ./after_checkout.sh <path>.
Alternatively, please set RENPY_PLATFORM to a different platform."
i've tried installing Wine and using that to run the .exe file, but to no avail (unfortunately the type of Chromebook I have doesn't work well with Wine)
por favor eu gostei do jogo seria legal se estivesse em portugues
