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.

I LOVEEE this game

I might be the only one who fell in love with ronin TvT

(+2)

I love how detailed everything is, but I especially love how authentic the characters feel. From their voices down to their texts, their dialogue just feel like talking to people I'd actually meet in real life. It was really immersive and it got me to giggle at a few silly moments here and there. Thanks for making this free, and for sharing with us! <3

(+2)

I think im madly in love with ronin chat 

(+2)

Android version please!!😭 Really wanna try this game

(1 edit) (-4)

Angel is my favourite. She's so beautiful and once you get to know her she's really nice. I was planning on killing her but then i saw her and i fell in love with her. Ronin is cringe. i find him to be annoying. He calls himself "the devil😒" so cringe. I killed him to knock him down a peg. Embarrassing how he was the most feared serial killer dubbed the butcher but he was killed by a mere writer. V or K9 is ok. He'd make a good friend but since that wasn't an option, he became my lover. I didn't play Misaki's route because we didn't interact that much so i wasn't interested in her. Luca is so boring. OMG anytime i interacted with him i felt like i was losing braincells. Same goes for his crush Felicie. Eviscerator wasn't interesting. Ronin respected him but to me it felt like he was clinging to the past because he used to be a famous serial killer in the 90s. Sunset slasher but no one cares about him. He should just move on and focus on his family. Tell me your thoughts in the comments. Who's your favourite and why? Who's your least favourite and why? Who do you hate the most and why? Who would you Kiss or Kill and why? Also i didn't have the voice acting option but maybe it's because i'm on Linux.

Very fun and unique game!! I loved every part of it, can’t wait for the extended version of this ahhhhh

this is so unique i love this game! cant wait till extended version is out on steam

(2 edits)

omg omg I've watched too many playthroughs and seen fanarts of this game, i can't wait till i get a laptop so i can finally play it

( ´∀`)

AAHHHG OMG I LOVE THIS GAME!!! And Misaki, I think I'm in love with them. (⌒_⌒;)

(+1)

same omgggg they're the besttt<333

ayyy another misaki lover!!! i love them sm they're so cool and awesome lol

there is NO WAY i just got rickrolled sldfkjsld fjhksn

stopppppppp how????

I decided to play the game after seeing the kickstarter and its so fun. I was not expecting all this work to be put in for a free game.

(+1)

I just wish it was for mobile 😭

Same! T>T but atleast i can watch playthroughs T_T

I LOVE KILLER CHAT
honestly, tysm for this game <3

ronin made me severely uncomfortable and thats honestly amazing

Want to doublecheck I might sound stupid for this question I'm so sorry T^T - does this version have endings?? I see people talking about them. I usually dont get itchio games if there's an available steam vers (easier to organize) but its the extended demo and I havent gotten any endings on it so Im assuming its only available here?? Pls let me know if thats right LOL

(+1)

i guess there is ending? i got in a relationship with miaki but the ending was just a black screen with the words "turns out getting into a relationship with a serial killer is not a good idea" which pissed me off because thats super vague but yeah thats the only ending i got

(+1)

On Steam I couldn't even get to dating the characters ToT it basically ended right as I got into the server so ig this has more

the one on steam is the demo for the better version. You can only go a bit in that onr

hi!! not sure if u got ur answer, but yes this itch version has endings!! i played it back when it was released.. the steam version is a demo for a full expanded version theyre going to be making!!

(+2)

the second i saw misaki's character portrait it was over for the rest of em

(+4)

relatable. Misaki is still my obsession

(+1)

IS THERE ANY WALKTHROUGHS?

(+1)

LOVE THIS GAME MISAKI BEST GIRL

(+2)

Is there or will there be a Luca route?? bcs omg he's literally sooo cute i need him!!

IM BAWLING FOR LUCA TOOO

SAME I THINK SOMEONE SAID THERE MIGHT BE A ROUTE FOR HIM IDK THO T_T

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

(+2)

bro ong i was lowkey going for ronin but HIS VOICE. I THOUGHT HE'D SOUND LIKE A TWINK.

(+1)

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?

(+1)

false positive! happens with itch games sometimes. no viruses were included in the creation of kc haha.

(+1)

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

(1 edit)

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?

(1 edit)

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

(1 edit)

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

(+1)

OH OKAYY THANK U SMM!!

(1 edit)

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)
