Killer Chat!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
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.

how do you play this on joiplay? cause I cant seem to play it on joiplay, whenever i try to open it, it crashes
is there a guide out yet for all the endings? there's one i'm tryna get and keep failing to
AMAZINGGG
i havent played this game but i felt the need to say that my bday is in one of the pics u can see on the side! i literally felt so cool idk bro..
MISAKI IS MY GIRRRLLLL!! Sublime game! A hundred billion out of a million stars!!
idk if its just me but like the game crashes once i get to the avatar creation page so yea, i cant play it
Loved the game in general, hell, rosesrot, your games are MARVELOUS! Though,is V just a literal Ride The Cyclone reference? TwT the username K9 made me giggle so many times I can't take seriously the DM's because of Ricky Potts dude /pos!!!
Oh my god i love misaki SO much. i have adhd and ive been hyperfixating on them for like. weeks.
MISAKI AAAAAAAAAA
10/10 would play again. hoping for new content
OMG I LOVE RONIN IM CRYING
Had an absolutely wonderful time with this
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! But my antivirus said it was a different threat. I don't remember much, but when I searched it up Google said it was most likely a false positive.
I don't think the game has a virus/malware in it, but I'm unable to play the game now. Even when I try to unzip the folder again, it says "Destination folder access denied" at the last moment.
So far, I haven't found a solution for it :(
(I only played a bit of the game, but it's really good! I hope you're able to play it soon!!)
im holding myself back from impulsively buying the dlc for this game AGGGH!!!!! Ronin is so awesome and i do truly love him! I can fix him (he will not be fixed instead he is ruining me sigh....)
LOL GOT RICK ROLLED BY ANGEL BUT TIS IS SO GOOD EEEE
misaki my love ahhhhhhhh
Ronin my love... :( (AMAZING GAME AND STORY!!)
angel is actually rick astley?!?!
I had a great evening thanks to you! The idea of the game is great and it is really well executed. The immersion is 100% successful for me.
I allow myself a recommendation that would have been extraordinary for me (you have probably already thought of it) it is if all the links in the game brought the player to real sites and real video. (There is a link currently that leads to the music Never Gonna Give You Up, it made me laugh, love this song).
In any case, thank you for this work and good luck for the Steam release.
when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never, because a dance with the devil- might last you forever ✊🏼☹️
le tengo cariño a ese juego, no entiendo ingles pero los audios son faciles de entender al igual que los textos, me encanta
im actually in love with V at this point, that was beautiful omg. i need more. i don't even want to complete any of the others stories, im too attached to V
literally in love with this game. mika (i forgot their name) is the goat, any other route is wrong :))
tears in my ronin lover eyes
LOVED the photo with misaki in our window, THEY ARE JUST SO GORGUS (cant spell :( )
i got Ronin's bad ending and it was... a good ending...? dunno if i messed up, but for all i care it was a happy ending, i'm in love (with him and his voice, damn i want to sound like that)
Little obsessed with this game after a playthrough. I got the ideal ending and V's ""good"" ending. Do wish there was more of an indicator of how many endings there are so I could tell if I should replay a path again. I also with there were more reasons for why you haven't killed yet like "Oh, I just get so anxious and can't take the final step, yk??" or something. Or even just being like "yk what? I will be a serial killer" and have it framed as a good ending for our romance options, but bad for us.
Just rambling at his point, games so good it's got me tapping at 6 in the morning! I can know this game is so good and is most definitely gonna be bouncing around in my brain for a long while.
Played Angel's and Misaki's path. If I have to say this felt more like a fanfiction Discord experience which was interesting than a true visual novel.
The writing was fun and geeky but lacks depth, the plot is nonexistent, character development was nonexistent.
It was a short and fun experience, but lacked real writing.
The dialogue options you get are also basically a discord teen girl's dialogue. Fun but I wouldn't replay it, its just a basic romance.
somebody takes themselves way too seriously
I got into Ronin's path, how many routes does he have? I think I got a "good"? ending? but I can't tell if there may have been a better ending of sorts I guess. Felt like it ended abruptly, without me dying of course, but yk
Is there ever going to be a similar game where you're actually a serial killer? Idk I was playing and thinking "what if you could actually kill someone and become a serial killer in the game?"
Is there a guide to this game? I can’t get into the route I want (how to get into ronin’s route pls 😭)
i love how long this game is ASDASDASDNJ RONIN FTW
ronin is so...???? wtfff omg i cant
i need v so bad im going crazy
yeah so I downloaded this an hour before I should've gone to bed and now it's 3am so...
I am on this delulu train for life.Misaki has my heart </3
Is vince romanceable?? If not then i need a route for him!! Now!!!
doesn't he has a wife or i'm mistaken for another character
yea he has a wife and kids
I don't know how to get Ronin's route helpppp
Ronins route is basically just Die Die My Darling by Metallica. LOVE IT.
