Killer Chat!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
KICKSTARTER LAUNCHING 4th June 2025! Follow our prelaunch page now.
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.

Loved the game, I have a new obsession :)
It was funny, enjoyable and a really great experience to play it <3
i think i got the neutral ending or smth
is call the police an normal ending new ppl got anyways?
at first i actively chose it but the first time i tried to play genuinely i did get the ideal ending (calling the cops). i think you have to go all-in on one character specifically
does anybody know how to get angels true bad ending? Ive gotten the ending where we date her and its super sweet but i dont know how to get the other one
I wish you could actually decide to become a serial killer
so true
ugh fr
whats the passsword
I've only done Angel's route and goodness, I adore her so much! I will kill for her--well, she'd probably kill them first before me BUT STILL!
This was such an immersive game! I usually struggle with hearing voices in mostly text based games but here--it felt so natural and everyone sounded SOOOOO good! I had so much fun! I will immediately get it the moment it's available in Steam! I have the need for moreee! I'm definitely eye-ing the DLCs haha!
Such a fun experience! Thank you!
just finished my first playthrough. oooouugghhhh Misaki my beautiful wife and girlfriend. the light of my life. I love her with all my heart.One of the best romance VNs I've ever played!Definitely gonna get the paid version on steam!
PS.fuck Ronan. fucking edgelord
they were my first too and then i did ronin... wow.
Looove my boy Ronin
the games really really good, i've enjoyed all my time with it and the first playthrough is soooo thrilling. only issue i find is that if you pick options that are a bit of an aberration, the dialogue stops making sense (eg (with hopefully minimal spoilers) in the V route the ultimatum makes no sense when you've been as open as possible with him the whole time). highly recommend, great twink content
Ronin's voice is killing me tho
omg i love this...
"dating a serial killer is not a good ending-"
excuse me what. sigh anyway I will let myself believe my character ended up as an actual serial killer for some reason
with poison
s0 Happy with the Goddamn game
I Love it
but if there is an expanded version anytime...maybe getting to be an actual serial killer would be nice, u know
send a piccy to ronin like: "here's ya proof <3!"
Has anyone been able to find a guide to endings in the game, if no i'm fine without but it would be very helpful.
Thanks
ugh V is such a tsundere i love him!!!
As I said in my 5-star review (because that's no less than deserved ♡):
"Killer Chat!" is so utterly enjoyable! I think my cheeks were a little sore after playing because I was smiling so much!! ^^ The characters are in depth and extremely lovable; the game is complex, portrayed with all the right aspects, and evokes all the right emotions. Good job, darling!
More thoughts:
I'm not prone to writing reviews or publishing comments. This is my first (besides my review, it was my second). For this game, though? I just had to! The writing and voice acting are immaculate. Just gets me in my feels. ♡ Specifically: "EEEEEE!!! :3 ><" I stayed up all night last night playing it through, and (game-wise) I've never thought losing sleep was more worth it! Awgh, I had soooo much freaking fun!! I adore all the characters, especially Misaki! Oh, that cutie...just had to give her a mention! And Ronin, too. He's the best nightmare I've ever had. <3 Can't love a devil without an Angel, either...she's a sweetheart, alright! >< I'll end it here with a cheer for V's Vendetta. :)
I played this game on Steam, but is it possible that the game on Steam is akin to a demo? It didn't rlly feel "full" on steam, so im wondering if i shld download n play this game from itch.io, or is there only free demos on both of them, so id needa pay for the full version?
yep, this one is the full original edition :) steam’s demo is for the expanded (paid) edition.
This is so good! aAaaaahh the characters are amazing I kinda wanna replay it lolol
wahh ! ! best 1 (❤ω❤)
such a good game !!! i love all of the characters so much, i cant wait to see this game develop further <33
this was unironically goated. i cannot believe it was free please just take my money
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH AAAHHH
I LOVE THIS GAME, I played it a while ago and came back now just realising I still didn't do Misaki's route, and I'm ashamed of myself because it is now my favourite one (out of all of them), also, I'd really like if you could do friendship routes with some of the other characters like Luca, I really loved Luca and his entire personality and was so sad I barely got to interact with him. Great visual novel! <3
YES
Just finished Misakis "Bad" route and now I am doing Angels, this game is sooooo good
literally doing the exact same thing i love them
I hope in the expanded version, we can finally have an option to be an actual serial killer. (Seems fun tbh.. but author, u do u.)
LOVE THIS GAMEE FR, I 💖 V sm, I hope there was a way to atleast save him from the police 😭😭😭
Also, Is it just ME or did I actually get jealous of Angel and Ronin for having a past... yk when they "dated" or were "tgt". Honestly.. I didn't really felt that Ronin would love the mc the same as he did w/ Angel💔
Still love the game, Can't wait for he expanded version on STEAM!! smh!!
i reeeeealy want to prove that i can kill someone (ingame) to ronin
I'm in love with the writing and voice acting in this game. I'm making my whole polycule play it and we cannot wait to see the Expanded Edition out on Steam!!!
say, in the extended version, will we actually be able to murder people too? Idk seems fun /j
I would unironically love to play as a serial killer :3
the game tells me that is a 1.2.9 version now, but i don't know where i can see the new things this version has, like bugs or something, i'm so lost T-T
just minor bug fixes and an additional screen showing all the other games i made. when there’s a big update, you’ll know!
after trying so many times, I FINALLY GOT THE BEST ENDING W MY BBG V <3
How?;;
I really in love with this game, mostly with Ronin, so i was thinking that would be so nice a pov from characters like, what the character thought when invited your character, and after some time in mid game how them see and feel about mc and in end game.
this is such a good game!!! but fun fact my anxiety did somehow kick in when I first had to choose a text option.... im not sure what this says about me...
Would you guys consider making a Android version??🤧
sadly, in their FAQ they stated that they will most likely not be creating an android version due to lack of funding.
Just let me become a serial killer atp
it doesent seem that bad
A true gem frrrrr
The more I played, the more I loved the charcters and their routes but MISAKI ILY THE MOST <3
The banter, the side characters, the endings, all of it was GOOOOLD 666/10 would sell my soul to all of them
the game is so good, i love the story and chats so far!! There is a bug though, it makes you restart all the dialogue even if you have a save. not sure what to do for that
how do I get V's "bad" ending? I've tried so much, and nothing I do works.
i would love to play this but idk why but it starts to crash while i make my avatar and becomes unplayable :')
IM JUST STARTING THE GAME AND I LOVED IT BUT IM JUST WATCHING THIS IMAGES AND THO IM REALKY HAPPY THE MC WE DESIGNED WILL APPEAR IN VIDEO CALLS IM SO EMBARASSED CUZ OF MY UGLY ASS MC DESIGN LMAO THIS GAME IS AWESOMEEE THANK EVERYONE WHO CREATED THIS GAME💥💥💥💥
MISAKIIIIIIII MY BELOVEDDD
