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?)

I just wish there was a browser version so I could play it on my Windows 8.1 laptop, it's such a good game!!!
Bro why you gotta do this to me i cant play this because of me uisng chrome OS why
I love it! But I want to ask if it is possible to actually be a killer, or end up in a successful romance? (Is it on future updates or any paid content offered?)
expanded + killing spree is what you’re looking for!
Thank you.Will look into it!
loved this game and ronin route was fun, just wanted to say making luca not romanceable from the start is a crime, i liked him the most :c
wishlist heatwaves dlc! feli and luca romance :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!!! But there something that will make it even more good like adding mods to the game cause if rosesrot ever add the possibility to mod the game i would make a lot lot of mods it's could be like in the expanded edition or the original one :3
"body frame" and it's the same body five times with different little lines inside.... 😒😭
When will it be released for Android?
Vai lançar para Android?
so cute mann
I love this game so, so much!! The only problem I’ve encountered so far is with romanceing V. I’ve told him twice that I’m just a writer, yet when Ronin calls and exposes that he knows i'm not actually a killer, the only option I get when he asks me to reveal my identity to V is “I can’t tell V.”
What?? I’ve already told him two times and he didn’t believe me, and now my character suddenly can’t tell him??
this game was made in less than a month, all 60k+ writing was done in three weeks (50k of it by me in too short of a timespan, it was exhausting), so lack of all possible choices was bound to slip through. more options will be available in the paid expanded edition. so stay tuned for that :)
that’s damm impressive!! I’m looking forward to the expanded Edison for sure!:p
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME RONIN MY MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!
I love everything about it ♥
hii, i donwloaded the new 1.4.1 files but my progress from the other earlier versions didn't follow through, am i doing something wrong? or that just isnt a thing on this game?..does anyone know?
uhhh, se ve re interesante este juego pero ni con el Joiplay puedo jugarlo😭 me encantaría una versión para Android, se ve demasiado bien este juego y quiero jugarlo pero no tengo plata para comprar una computadora así que solo queda ver gameplays 💔🥀
so much time on this game and finished it.. I'm already missing them even if they re not real ....
esta en español
8/10 ONLY 8 CAUSE I WATCH V GET ARRESTED 20TIMES (i got softlocked somehow no matter my answer i got the """"good"""" ending) still an amazing game i love Vand flipity flop ronin vro
i played this game 5 times 3 for ronin 2 for misaki i love my baes sm
Is there any chance you could make this available on android users?
Aaaa já amei!! O Ronin já é meu favorito, ele me faz lembrar tanto o f!scott de fsmp!! :3
Every time I launch the game, it sends me back to the 1.3 version, even after I updated it and manually switched the version it's supposed to open to 1.4. Do you know if maybe I'm doing something wrong on my end?
I want to play with the DLC but I can't until it opens to the 1.4 version.
did you download the 1.4 version and fully delete the 1.3 version?
Can you make a web version? It's quite difficult for people with Family Link that wants to play... (Me and probably other people aswell).

I got it but it wont open no matter what I try so uhh yeah.
Is anyone else having problems with lag?? The group chat part of it is completely fine but when it comes to creating a character or the video calls, suddenly it lags real bad and is almost unplayable.
I'm using a mac so that might be the problem but I'm unsure.
I also am, and I am also using a Mac so its prob js laggy 4 MacBooks unfortunately..
I already love thi

what a fantastic story game
If only there was a way to date all of em in one playthrough ಥ_ಥ but seriously I got so immersed playing this game, definitely a 10/10
love the game but it keeps crashing out mid game and says PHONOS OS. and that i need to press ctrl alt and del
Its Just my first game Demo its free.... I would be happy if you Try it ! :https://sderfx-studios.itch.io/kourush if you like it donate so I can continue..
I just finished a couple of paths, and I just found this game so good. The principle of having some enigma and useful things in the message so you need to concentrate on the text was fun. Characters are great, and in some way you get attached to them. I enjoyed it so much, and the artwork too. I find the story really interesting and new. An amazing game to start the year; I will surely buy the DLC and other games! Thank you for making such great games! ;)
i wish i could play this but im stuck on android for now, i hope in the future there is plans to make it downloadable for android <33
the game seems to crash no matter what i do when loading up character creation and if i at all click anything while the game is crashing it bluescreens my whole pc. any potential fixes or workarounds?
This was fire!!
Øh!I saw an edit of this!Cant wait to play it ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
Love the idea!
So I'm new at this, how do I play the game? I downloaded it but I don't know what to do next
you gotta open the zipped file (the file you downloaded) in File Explorer and then press 'Extract all'. when it's all finished you open the extracted file until you see an application named "KillerChat". open that up and it should open the game. if you can't figure it out you can also play it on Steam
I got it but it wont open no matter what I try so uhh yeah.
