Killer Chat! is only available to download on PC/Mac, and unfortunately is not supported for use on mobile or emulators. If you are new to itch.io, download instructions are here!


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.

CONTENT WARNINGS:

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?)

Hey great game! Made me bawl my eyes out but oh well!! (The ending didn't happen and I'm married to V with 3 kids guys haha!!) Jokes aside, awesome game and may play 5 more times!

does anyone know how to get on ronin's route?? i've tried changing my sexuality to be anyone and following game and its still not working..i just wanna romance him😭

Have you been flirting w him in the beginning?

(+2)

i feel very normal about Angel    i am experiencing totally sane feelings about Angel at this moment

(+2)

I'm inlove with Ronin guys

(+2)

BRO I JUST STARTED PLAYING!! A friend of mine recommended the game to me. I simply LOVED IT!!! I have already completed one route: Ronin. Not ironically I had a lot of *gay panic* while playing. Especially when he mentions Ronin being our "Fallen Angel", literally the same nickname I use with my boyfriend.... Not to mention that they both have the same aesthetic and personality.... I definitely don't have a type.... LOL (/sarcasm). (Btw, Brazilian player here :3 )

Fala, meu mano brazuca! Começar esse joguete agora

E eu aqui pensando: "Que apelido curioso, mas bem deve dar certo em inglĂȘs ou seja lĂĄ que idioma estĂĄ pessoa fala" Mas vocĂȘ Ă© brasileiro... VocĂȘ chama seu namorado de "anjo caĂ­do"? SĂ©rio mesmo? Tipo, nĂŁo Ă© meio longo pra um apelido?

Na verdade eu uso o apelido em inglĂȘs mesmo... Eu e meu namorado gostamos dessa coisas mais sombrias e tals, por isso que eu meio que sempre chamei ele assim. Mas tambĂ©m nĂŁo Ă© um apelido que eu isso 100% do tempo. Eu geralmente uso os clĂĄssicos como "amor" ou "MozĂŁo" ksksksk

Ah tĂĄ faz sentido entĂŁo ksks

(+3)

V MY BELOVED OMG IM ACTUALLY ABOUT TO TWEAK OUT I LOVE HIM SMM!

(+1)

SUCH A GOOD GAMEE i love misaki smm<3 And her voice is the best omggg

(+3)

That rickroll in Angel's route is actually so diabolical bro :((, I was wearing headphones people 😔đŸ„ș

(+3)

I don't usually play games like this but I have to say that this is one of the best games I have played in a long time!

(+2)

Omg I love Ronin sm AHHHHH He's so perfect and so is the artstyle, I also love the customisable MC, we're so cute!!!

(+3)

grinning like an idiot and kicking my feet rn, 5/5

(+4)

this game was good asf i was scrolling down the itch.io thing and saw this, tbh the best random find eve

(+2)

this isn't my usual type of game, but it's so good omg. deff making me want to play more things like this! this was so entertaining all the way through

(+1)

10/10 absolutely amazing game, time for me to crawl pathetically to V and hug his leg sobbing after getting a bad ending

(+1)

you should def release merch!! id buy it instantly! :D 

(+1)

V's ""bad"" ending was so banger he is so sillyyyyy :3

i can't play it on joyplay😓 ill add this in my collection to play when I have a laptop or pcđŸ«ĄđŸ«Ą

(+1)

*cries in mobile*

is there mayhaps... more of v?

in the dlcs! :) xmas + halloween

and the definitive edition tba!

heyyy can anyone help? im stuck at the part where your supposed to put "Invisible" as your status, but notings happening afterwards. Am I doing smth wrong, or is it a bug?

(1 edit)

I was confused on this part, too! You don't type "Invisible" Press the green status button under 'no status' and a drop-down menu should appear, then you press invisible. Hope this helps! 

LMAO omg ty this worked 

(+7)

Loved it. Though, Ronin's voice (for me at least) sounded a bit too..forced--too professional. But aside from that, I absolutely adored the game. Definitely would play again to get the other's routes. :))

Please, can someone help me?

I'm really trying my best to get Ronin but I'm still stuck at the beginning of the game because when it asks me "Who will give you the best experience worthy of a breathtaking story?", all the names are crossed out except Misaki's, sometimes Angelic's name is not.

I even watched videos and did the same thing but I never get Ronin. I'm stuck. At this point, I wouldn't even mind having the answers.

check my faq.

(+1)

OMG! Thank you so much! I think I found the problem.

(Also thanks for the game,it's so good♄)

Ronin is literally JD from Heathers. He definitely looks like a squeaky twink <3

(+1)

I just played Ronin's ""good"" ending and started crying, backtracked right away and kissed him. I did not need that, I will never let curiosity hit the kill button

nah they crossed it out so you have to kill him, i got so angry bc i liked him, but he can talk to you when u kill him and he tells you he's proud like i cried

no, you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.

unofficial fan guide

(+2)(-2)

Ended up with Angel's """Bad""" Ending, but as corrupt as I am, if a killer doesn't kill me, then I'll date them :]

Overall amazing game tho!! As a teenager, I felt so at home with the discord layout and slang, I luv it 😭😭

My only problem is in VCs where the voice actors sound too.. "professional" or something? They should act kinda more casual, or for realism, some have bad background noise, or bad mic quality, and etc. :]

Really cool concept of a game tho!! You guys are amazing :3

(+1)

It's a great and interesting game.But it's really difficult for me,a junior high school student in China ,to understand long English sentences with new words in them.I feel that my English has improved after playing this game.

that was genuinely so fun. a good few hours spent! ronin has my heart <3333 

frfr

I ended Ronin's "good" ending but i feel so sad like ?? 

I love this game so far ! I'm gonna cry and get the others end..

I just got that ending, I'm so sad we weren't aloud to kiss him!!!!!!!!!!!

No but fr !! I was like "why can't i kiss him uh ??? Why ? What did i do wrong ?? Why is it crossed out ????" (And yeah i cried.)

you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.

bro I'm not overreacting but I actually cried bc I couldn't kiss him, I was happy when he told me he's proud that I 'killed' him but what if he survived :o

you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.

im trying to download but its showing me that "file wasn't available on site", how do i fix that?

(+1)

how will the definitive edition of the game differ from the current version? Will it be more content all around, or are there new features that will be added? Either way, I'm looking forward to it!

(+4)

chat im cooked ronin set the standard too high

PLEASE ANDROID PLSSSSS

it’s not happening

(+1)(-1)

there isn't any phone versions i think but if you really want to play, try saving money and buy a simple laptop, doesn't need to be expensive. i did mine like that. the wait might be long or not but it's worth it :), hope you aren't sad cuz there isn't android or apple version, have a good life 

alrighty

(+2)

Pleeaaase can somebody rell me.how do i get the ronin on first month ? I tried literally everything but i always get misaky or angel. PLEASE i am begging !!!!

(+1)(-1)

if you’re only getting misaki or angel, your sexuality is set wrong. double check if it’s set to “any” or “men”

The game is just great i love this game but i have one problem i tried my best but i can only choose misaki because the others are blocked i would like to know how to solve this problem i will be very grateful

(sorry for the mistakes, I am writing through a translator)

it depends on the choices you make until this point in the story :') at times u you get to choose who you want to talk to most and depending on this + how nice you talk to them, you'll be able to unlock their story!! in my first playthrough i could only choose between ronin and misaki for example :')

I didn't even think about that, thanks =)

(+1)

ive been playing this game with my sister and its so good i want to get all the routes

(+1)

Fucking best game, I've played in a while I need to finish every route right now!

(+2)

Omg I love the game more than I should xD Each character is unique and loveable! Luca is prolly my fav side-character and have to admit that im head over heels for Ronin. Jett did such a good job, my god! ♄
