Killer Chat!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
KICKSTARTER LIVE NOW! 4th June-4th July 2025
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.

Is there or will there be a Luca route?? bcs omg he's literally sooo cute i need him!!
this was so muchhhhhhhhhhh fun LOVE IT.. (mynames also angel so it was funny okay...)
Love it. Remind me of Will Wood's music.
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH RONIN OM
ronin fueled my masochistic ahh I LOVE HIM SM <3
bro ong i was lowkey going for ronin but HIS VOICE. I THOUGHT HE'D SOUND LIKE A TWINK.
So reaaaalll I was going for him to, his voice is fine but for some reason it kinda annoys me
im tryna not get misaki, can i choose at one point
For some reason,my anti virus program detected a malwaretising after playing the game for two days. Has anyone made a similar experience?
false positive! happens with itch games sometimes. no viruses were included in the creation of kc haha.
I've just finished all of the characters "bad" routes aside from ronin (i hate you ronin), and i gotta say this game is so good at making you genuinely care for all of the characters!! my first playthrough i went for V because he seemed the most interesting to me but i think i ended up liking Misaki the most!!!! she's such a lovable character with her over the top personality :D All that to say, this game is awesome!! if you haven't played it yet, you definitely should
i was so scared of ronin killing me or having to kill him but i got the """bad""" ending!!!! my soul finally came back to my body
Me encantó el juego, me falta la ruta de Misaki por jugar pero mi numero 1 siempre sera Ronin, aunque debo admitir que el romance con V es el más lindo T.T
Angel merece muchos abrazos.Ahora solo espero la version expandida para quedarme con Felicie y Luca JAJA
can you have multiple games at once?
GUYS IM LITERALLY ON THE FLOOR SOBBING, WHEN I GOT TO RONIN'S ENDING IT DIDNT LET ME KISS HIM IT ONLY GAVE ME THE OPTION TO KILL HIM</3
AHHHH THATS SO REAL It HAPPENED 2 ME 2 T__T 2 kiss him, you gotta choose him first in lit every option, like when the surf guy and french girl invite you to call but he does 2 u gotta choose him first
OH OKAYY THANK U SMM!!
Really? That`s weird... I always chose to VC Luca and Felicite first and I sometimes took side of Angel or V against Ronin and I still got the kiss ending. Maybe it is because how I answer Ronin during the private chats and video calls???
misaki is hot af... btw, can you BECOME a serial killer? would be nice....
in the expanded version ( the full version that will come out one day ) you will be able to :D ( the expanded version will be paid btw )
Fuck, I love this game so much. Played every love interest and I love them all. Played Ronin twice as he has my aorta forever in his hands <3
god i love this game, i think it's my favv c: </3 (Ronin my beloved 4ever AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)
The Demo: Cheff kiss 10/10
Ronin my beloved AAAAAA
10/10, currently obsessed with this game fr
i wishhhh there was the option to actually become a serial killer but its rlly good so far
boy do i have news for u, there's gonna be a dlc with this exact plot in the expanded edition!!
cool cool game!! V my beloved ♡
Straight up cackling playing this game lol
10/10, as an aspiring author, i love this. <3
Crossposted from my review:
Only one route in so far, but it's fun, creative, and really funny. The VAs all do a great job, too. I love how much there seems to be to see with the combination of server tags and character interactions. Looking forward to the Expanded Edition already!
THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAV GAME OML
I usually hate visual novels but I genuinely had to make an account to express my love for this, I spent all day going through all "bad" ending routes for each of the 4 LI its not even funny. I would love to see more projects by you even if theyre seperated from the killer chat universe, im honestly contemplating buying the christmas,valentines dlcs and expanded game I love this game so much, Thank you for your hard work and dedication in the creation of this.
Misaki my beloved
this game was so cute omg
I wanna play SO BAD but I cant find out how to download it on chromebook :(
same :C
i could've been a badass serial killer and beat ronin's ass so bad... i wish that was an option.
overall, amusing game. thanks! :]
Would it be possible to maybe get a route for some of the side characters in the future?
there will be routes for both felicie and luka in the full game :)
"Unfortunately, dating a serial killer isn't a good thing" Hmm, good point. Counterargument, Misaki
GENUINELY MY FAVORITE GAME ON THE INTERNET(!!)
rosesrot ur genius is eternal<3
im pledging 100 for Misaki:D
I love this novel sooo much😍
Cannot wait for the full release of the expanded ver. Take all my money(which, admittedly, is not that much^^)!
This was such an insane experience and I must say I loved every bit of it! Genuinely pulled me out of a few depressing days. My irl boyfriend is so sick of me talking about V lol
I played it for the first time, during the kharakter kuztomization //mb my laptop lost the ability type the third letter of the alphabet// It kept freezing and lagging so bad wtf, I literally had to wait a minute just for the buttons to work
the lag got so bad I just quit the game without even finishing my kharakter lmao, im gonna play it again tho,,
V MY POOKIEEEEEEE
I LOVE THIS
amazing game, would recommend, more importantly HOW THE FUCK DO I GET V’s “bad” ENDING PLEASEEEEEE
This game is so amazing omg
The feeling of euphoria that lingered after I finished it
Though I would be kinda curious about the option to like… actually become a serial killer? You could even choose to like either tell them that you’re just getting started or turn what was a lie into the truth… it would be amazing to see that sort of thing play out.
WOAAHH finally kissed tf out of ronin
Played this for the whole day even though my finals are tomorrow.. this was so engaging. BTW, the newest ver. rn (1.3.0) is the DEMO version right? cause i felt the 1.2.6 version is longer than the demo, the newest demo just gave the demo ending while the version before gave 4.
Or is it just me? help
are you talking about the killer chat expanded demo, not killer chat? all 1.3.0 adds is a link to our kickstarter page.
(omg u saw my comment) yeah yeah! the expanded demo! does the expanded demo only has one ending for now?
yep as it’s a demo. the rest will be in the paid expanded version!
Thank you for answering!! I'll stay tune to the expanded ver ><
ill also joined the discord and insert some FA if allowed ( ≧ᗜ≦)
