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.

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 :(
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?
"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 muchđ
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 Vâs âbadâ 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 youâre 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 itâs 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 ( â§áâŠ)
i can't wait for this!, i don't have money for the kickstarter, but i will have to buy the expanded edition FOR SURE I WILL HAVE. ANYWAYS, i love this game so much, i can't believe i found something that i really enjoy THIS MUCHHHH, NEVER STOP DOING GAMES, i'm so excited for this, i might sleep for the whole year so i can wake up in 2026 when the expanded version releases, thank u! SENDING LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM CHILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
aww thank you so much!! ;-;
THIS IS AMAZING. Misaki 10/10 best character/date/everything
this is by far one of my fav visual novels i've replayed it so many times lol i love ronin smmm cant wait for expanded edition to be fully out!
is there a way i can NOT call the police? đ
(specifically with V)
is there a game guide? ;-; im kinda confused... there is only month 1, i can't get into month 2

Wow. I went into this game very uncertain. Itâs risky territory the dev is playing with here. I ended up not only liking it but loving it so much more than I ever couldâve expected. Yes this game does portray serial killers as hot anime characters but you are handed the tools to make whatever you want of that. My first playthrough had me doing what I would do in real life… freaking the fuck out, leaving the server and calling the cops. I expected this to lead to a unsatisfying joke ending but no this ending is entirely legitimate. It gives a satisfying ending to your character, it doesnât judge you for rejecting the gameâs entire premise. You get to play with the wonderful character creator to make a cutie with majestic hair and you get to see the great UI and attention to detail that this game has and then you leave without sacrificing your principles. That experience on its own is a worthwhile one. Itâs not you have to make out with murderers or you donât get to play either. As I saw in my second playthrough the game repeatably hands you the option to leave the server throughout the game and everytime I found it a genuinely difficult decision.
This game is surprisingly strong in terms of representation overall. I donât think it goes too far with sensationalising serial killers and it does a great job with giving the player tools for gender expression and with its LGBT cast. A lot of the heavy lifting is done by the dialogue which is incredible. I love the characters. The voice acting is great and everyone feels real and very likeable. Just the vibe overall has the feeling of being in a Discord server with online friends. You can even change your status, adding so much fun expression to the game even if I know it literally doesnât do anything. Itâs clear the devs have spent a lot of time in Discord servers and I think this is the only context where that could be considered a compliment. This game didnât make me want to start murdering people but it did make me want to make new friends in Discord servers which I havenât done since Covid.
My only nitpick is that the music, whilst a catchy tune that sets the mood well is just one track that gets repetitive very quickly. You can turn off the music and play your own so itâs not a big deal but obviously it would be even better if this had a great or at least varied soundtrack.
If Quentin Tarantino can get away with his characters chatting about McDonaldâs and doing silly little dances then this game gets a free pass on hot anime murderers! This is like the video game Tarantino would make except with less racial slurs and more queer characters so this is way cooler. Also I watched Jenniferâs Body for the first time because of this game and that on its own wouldâve earned it 5 stars. Misaki is the best character BTW and Iâm allowed to love her guilt free cause theyâre not a serial killer theyâre only in it for the money!
is there a walkthrough/guide? im STRUGGLING
edit: how the FREAK do you get ronin's good ending... i thought i got the good end bc we kissed but i guess maybe im not supposed to do that....
the '''bad''' ending is the good ending in terms of ur relationship w him being romantic, whilst the 'good' ending would be killing him or calling da popo since hes,, yk, a murderer LOL, so u did it right !!
ah okay lol! thank you :)
i LOVED angel's route she is so wuhluhwuh <3
I still dunnno what is Ronin's real name tho, can someone pls gimme a lil hint?
look for the letters he capitalizes during the chat for that day
Thank u sooooo much<3

This is one of my favourite games, I love it a lot. The hilarious humour, the engaging and likeable characters and it's setting on a discord server are what I adore about this game. My favourite one is misaki, they'd be someone I'd want to be friends with.
Now listen, I've played quite a few amazing dating sims... BUT HOLY SHIT IS THIS THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER PLAYED!!! I actually adore this game to an extent that even little me when I found out about fnaf couldn't beat. This aint even glazing I just needed everyone to know this is amazing <3
OMFG THIS WAS SO GOD DAMN GOOD I LOVE MISAKISO MUCH
i just played the steam demo yesterday and I ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT, i am gonna try the game now, and when the expanded editon comes out on steam, I AM GONNA BUY IT, AND RE-PLAY IT
i finished the game... HOLY FUCK IS THE BEST GAME EVER
Android apk please
Loved the game, I have a new obsession :)
It was funny, enjoyable and a really great experience to play it <3
i think i got the neutral ending or smth
is call the police an normal ending new ppl got anyways?
at first i actively chose it but the first time i tried to play genuinely i did get the ideal ending (calling the cops). i think you have to go all-in on one character specifically
