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 girls serial 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 pseudo serial killer you are...)
  • Four serial killers love 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.

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?)

amazing

10/10

lowkey sad that i finished the game so fast but then i remembered i can do everyone else's route because i love each character individually <33 i really liked the game and it's concept, and ronin and misaki were def my favs by far !! (even though ronin had no trust in me for like 90% of the game) :3

(+1)

Actually obsessed with Misaki and Ronin so far, this game is doing things to me I swear!!

i love ronin so much bro SERIAL KILLER WHEN I LOVE HIM ANYWAY BRO doesn't need 2 carve out my heart when he already has it

Im so sorry to bother but I have a problem with the game. I can't get past "the right button?." The game immediately freezes and won't let me play. It was fine when I downloaded it th first time but after doing the stories of Ronin and V, it doesn't let me play it. I have already uninstalled the game twice and even after the update the problem is not fixed.

ronin was so charming?? don't be doing a girl like that like, my heart can't take itttt

(+2)

Shaking my head while I kiss my assassin lover so everyone knows I think murder is like so not cool. Honey stoooop :/

(+1)

I need more Ronin. Like now. I freaking love him.

No but I really have to ask, is Angel actually a cannibal? It's a running joke throughout the whole thing and even after doing Angel's route I'm genuinely not sure.

this was my first ever visual novel game, and it raised my standards so high. i can't seem to find one as good as this 😭

I love this game...so much..

I got Angel's ending first thing and it was so wholesome (In it's own way)

how many endings are there so that i can keep track, i plan to get them all

(+2)

2 for each main character, so over all 8. "good" endings are where you DON'T end up w the character as it's morally and ethically and lawfully bad. and "bad" endings are where you end up with them and have your 'happily ever after'.

(+1)

i love this game sm as it's basically my exact pref for vns <33 i played ronin's route first and i was like oh yeah he's my fav.... played v's last because i wasn't a fan of him but. oh boy. oh boy was i wrong.

v is my babygirl. my wifey. my husband. the loml. my pookie, if you will. he is my favorite by FAR. i love him. v i love you. that is all.

when i try o update the game for windows its not working??

(+2)

this was such a game, i played ronin's route and i was legit pulling my hair not knowing what response to go with. But at the end like he's such an awesome character. (Everyone else was so awesome and wholesome!!!!!!)


II lobe this game

(+2)

Its my first Visual Novel ever and... Well, developers, thank you so much. This game kinda helped me figure out my "type". Its a really interesting thing to try, I liked the plot and the characters, they felt alive (At least for me), especially Luca, V and Mikasa. My end love route was Mikasa, even though I planned on V, but oh well.
Thank you once again, I will try to replay this game to get V romance. 
P.s. Screw Ronin, I hate that guy and wish I could kill him (I guess that was the intention so good job) 

No fr though. I did Angel's route and the dude was such a douche.

(+1)

I love this game so damn much! I'm gonna need to replay this over and over.

(+1)

I just finished this game and saw Ronin's "bad ending." However, I kissed Ronin, and he didn't kill me. Could it be that the bad ending is actually the happy ending in this game?

(+4)

yes it is haha. Each route has a good and bad ending, the bad endings are where you stay in a relationship with them since, you know, dating a serial killer is bad

I see. That makes sense now, haha.

the game is pretty fun, you can customize your own character, name, bio, icon, even your name color. but i have to say, one thing really ruins a certain character’s design. goreboy, ronin, his voice acting is so..bad. it sounds very forced and strangled, he sounds as if hes moaning every word. his character is supposed to be seen as scary, intimidating, attractive even, but the voice..really ruins it. no shade on the voice actor, im sure they tried their best.. maybe its just me. if ronin and v switched va’s, it would match much better ^^

(1 edit) (+5)

Ngl i felt the same in the beginning, but he slowly grew on me. It's just part of his character yk? like how he dons the Devil facade, i feel like he also forces his voice to be deeper to match his mask. Plus, he's also implied to be trans ftm, so his voice could also be a reflection of that.

Additionally, I personally think that V's voice wouldn't suit Ronin, and vice versa. V's VA just sounds very serious and not the kind to mess around, whereas Ronin's VA perfectly suits his crazed and playful personality! 

Though of course, you are entitled to your own opinion after all! I just hope i was able to give you more insight. <3

(+1)

His voice does eventually get better, though i wouldn't pretend its perfect entirely, to each their own. ;3

(+1)

Absolutely stellar game!! So glad to have found this!! Never before in my life has my freak flag flown so high, I truly do feel so seen in the most delicious way.

(+4)

Got to romance and date Ronin and he didn't kill me cause I matched his freak, we love to see it

(+1)

It was honestly an amazing game and would recommend to everyone! It was interesting and although I had was planning on playing a different game, this game dragged me in and was so fun to play!

(+2)(-1)

How do you get Angel's ""Good Ending"" help I've been trying different options but they didn't work 😭

Depends on your definition of a good ending. Technically any route where you're in a loving relationship is the "Bad ending" because well, you're dating a serial killer.

(+4)

WHY IS THE """"BAD ENDING"""" SO LOWKEY WHOLESOME?!

(+2)

Ronin Beaufort

(+2)
