A Very Killer Chat! Christmas
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Note: this is a standalone game. You do not need to download Killer Chat! to play, but we do recommend playing through Killer Chat! first (it's free!)
WELCOME BACK TO HELL, LOSERS!
Over a year has passed since asking too many murder-related questions online (for your book) got you invited to a serial killer chatroom. Of course, you did what any insane person would do and called the police pretended to be a serial killer. For, uh… hot singles in your server research purposes.
Somehow, you got your bad happy ending. You’re now a bestselling writer, desperately in love, and have come to think of the server as family - it's like a dream come true. Sure, most of them still think you are a serial killer, your boss needs you to write another hit ASAP and your one true love is definitely technically a murderer, but look on the bright side - it’s Christmas!
In this festive addition to the dark satire romance chatsim Killer Chat! series, journey through the server’s past, present & future to learn more about our serials and find the true meaning of Christmas. What's the worst that could happen?
Play as a (fully customisable!) character as you…
DATE SERIAL KILLERS!
Whisper sweet nothings to your murderous beau and learn more about their insecurities lives!
CHAT IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE :)
The server's hosting a secret Santa blitz! Unlock 16 unique gift options to impress (or distress) your loved one, and help the other serials decide what to get each other! And no Christmas would be complete without a delicious server meal on the 26th of December. It's true: Vince has made Christmas dinners a yearly thing now.
GET INSPIRATION FOR YOUR SHORT STORY!
Spending time in the server helped write a hit before, maybe it’ll help you again? Ugh. Why is writing so hard?

Currently crying because the expanded edition demo isn't available on Mac (Apparently Mac no longer supports Steam)
hey! it should be able to work as i use a mac and it works for me, maybe check your settings?
hi! as mentioned on the page, we’re unable to include all voices until the sag-aftra VA strike reaches a resolution. trust me, i also want it to be over so that we can add voices ASAP :’)
but as it stands we’re really limited with what we can do as ronin’s VA is part of the sag-aftra strike. if they don’t comply with the strike, then they stand to be blacklisted by sag-aftra for future projects. which, obviously, neither of us want.
for the valentine’s bundles, it is said specifically on the page that it’s a donation bundle and that the rewards would be different with ronin’s bundle! as said on the main valentine’s page, the bundles have a short story (pdf), voice-acted letters, letters, and art to help development. because i need to make back money to pay people who have helped me make kc! in the first place, but also can’t afford to make another massive game when im juggling between my full-time work, game dev (for my other free games like glut), limited finances and freelancing. im sorry you feel dissatisfied by the content, but i just dont have the time or financial capability to make something as massive as kc! yet, but also still need to raise funds so i can make something like kc! again.
i really want to keep the kc! base game free for everyone to experience, which is why i have these donation bundles and the kc! xmas for you paying supporters (we do really appreciate your support!) and obviously, i hope to make kc! expanded bigger and bloodier once i have the money to do so.
....on a side-note... I noticed there is an extended version and an original version planned to drop on Steam...
Is the extended version more extra content like a DCL, or more a longer version that still have the same stuff as the original version, plus more?
I am crying over my online payment choices being stuck in limbo forever right now. 😭
I can only pray to the devil that this game, and all it's DCL and related content, will come on Steam someday.... preferably soon. 🙏😈
....I need this DCL....so bad.... 😭
When will we get voices?
we are working on it but our hands are also tied by the sag aftra va strike unfortunately
Ah alright
yes because i wanna wait to play until we get them.... i mean the voiced one was free but the non voiced is 10 dollars and i paid for it and donated to the devs after getting the free one so im a bit sad over it since the voices were so perfect it made the game go from great to incredible
Seraphim hair piece... perfection.
i hope it'll be voiced i neeeed to here my bae misakis voice
Do you know when this will be voiced or not?
we are working on it but our hands are also tied by the sag aftra va strike unfortunately
I'm confused. I remember buying this not long after it came out, but now I can't access the files. Is that something on my end, or do I need to buy it again?
you should be able to access the files after buying it anytime ! or did you buy it from my kofi page?
No, I bought it off itch. I think I was just mistaken because I found the game in my files and was able to play it. That's my bad. Thank you for your time!
i'm begging you, PLEASE PUT THIS IN STEAM😭
I only play Angel's route since she's best girl. So far, I've only gotten the bad ending and the average ending, even though I gave Angel her trigger-happy gift. Is there no good/ideal ending, or have I just missed some steps? It's quite hard getting all the achievements without a guide :)
hi! i would recommend trying to interact with all of the server members more to get the good + ideal ending, if you’re still struggling feel free to join our discord server - we’d love to help out!
is it voiced?
LOVE V SO MUCH ARGHHHHH HOPING I CAN BUY THIS SOON 1!!11!!!
Put it on steam so i can buy it ಥ‿ಥ
This is an amazing game , it was a perfect standalone to go along with the main game , Thank you so much for creating this.
of course! thank you for the walkthrough, im so glad you had fun ❤️
No problem at all! I really enjoyed making it. ❤️
chuckles, giggles, it's ronin guys
I would like to know if there will be any difference from the Definite Edition and Itch version, and how much will they cost.
this is in my faq! i haven’t decided on price yet for definitive but because of the amount of work that’ll be put in, it will be $20+
One day, i'll get the money to buy this ❤
Can someone tell me how to get V's third gift??? T-T
if u havent got it alr...
its the dec 25th call with V: You wanna answer with "Just thinking how you're my favorite animal lover"
But before that you need your previous answer to be "Have you ever tried giving your animals something like that before?"
So basically don't get the second gift...
TYYY SO MUCH >O<
Alright, someone reply to my comment when ManlyBadassHero makes a video about this game that's called something like: "A Jolly Christmas Dating Sim Where Nothing Bad Happens Don't Look In The Basement"
good job
Just played V's route and loved the game! I'm gonna play Ronin's route next! Do you have a date for the Definitive version of the base game? I'd be great if you do pre-orders! I'll happily pre-order it :D
Spoiler, I think? I'm inquiring about achievements...
Alrite... Idk where else to ask but if anyone's got any hints or straight up how-tos for these extras:
left of A Very Average Christmas;
above Misaki's Trigger-Happy Gift;
left of Squeeze a flight ticket out of V
I'd be forever grateful, I suppose I could repay with any other extra someone else is missing?? Or I could wish u a good day... yea, thanks
HIII!!! OKAY SOSOO SPOILERS AHEAD
the first one u mentioned u get by not unlocking any of the presents, i dont have the 2nd one either :( and 3rd u get by winning the fashion competition thingy!!! u can do that by wearing the tree outfit :3 HOPE THAT HELPED YIPPIE
...
Idk why I never thought to not get a present...
I thought for sure I won before... with my wonderful lights, but I guess not. Still dying to see Feli's tho somehow someway
TYYSMM, if I somehow stumble upon the achievement I'll let u know
THANK UUUU N IM GLAD I COULD HELP!!!
Omg also i was wondering if u know what the achievement above a mafia family is and how to get it cuz i've been struggling with it for a while😓
I gotchu, I got a rough estimate for it...
its called the grinch, so basically just be a dik abt the whole christmas thing (i think youll be fine for any ending, tho im sure it also works if u get any present at least)
hey, sorry for randomly interrupting the convo, but i need to know how to get this mafia family achievement if you could help!!
YES OFC!!
So after the dress up competition u get asked abt the gifts, you need to pick the "it could be interesting" option!! u get the achievement at the end after the christmas dinner :3 i think that choice is the only one that matters for getting it!! lmk if it works :D
WAAA!!!! MORE KILLER CHAT WOOHOO!!! If only i had money atm sobs. Definitely saving any money i don't need for this !!
Peak dropped and I was late GRAHH!!! Just bought it! I know this will be just as good!
How do i get the first ending???
Will this ever be on steam?
Hi !! we will be putting the dlc on steam, but we'd like to do it after we get the base game on it :] !
ohh okay thanks
Yay just bought it! ^^
i'm poor, i'll wait 'till i have the money
ah hi! does anyone know how to get ronin's interesting gift? i've been playing through and i've managed to get every other gift. i'd appreciate some help :(
In one of the convos w Ronin, you gotta joke abt him being a vampire
Yeah, on the 25th, when Ronin tells you abt his day, click the "That sounds...Vampiric." option
oh wow i think i would've totally glossed over that choice for another day or two haha :) thank u sm!
I can't seem to figure out how to get Ronin's fourth gift, I've tried EVERYTHING and it's impossible, it's eluding me (please help). Other than that, the game has the same vibe as the original. It's fun, and it reveals some little things from the characters' past that keeps you hooked and wondering what else happened, what the details are.
Taking out the fact that it seems a little complex to take out all the gifts without a guide, it's excellent and I highly recommend it if you liked the original game!
I think for Ronin's fourth gift you have to pick "Are you serious about aortas?" during the dream with Ronin and Angel.
YOU WERE RIGHT, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER. THANK YOU!
nooo im broke :(
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for playing, the team have loved watching your playthroughs!^^
i only have rupiahhh plss how do i buy this game IM DESPERATEEEHELPPP
English is not my native,sorry.
I've finished the routes of Ronin and V,I do love the common part of VinHua ,FeliLuca and MC's kind word to Angel,I really enjoy the atmosphere of this chatroom.
But into personal Route part,especially the dream part,this is getting a bit weird.I like those past memories,but let MC play that role?emmmm...Now I just feel,a little complicated.
hi! im thinking about buying this game, i have played killer chat and am aware that the definitive edition will be on steam someday. will the definitive edition be any different from the original game? also, will it cost money? if so, will it include this christmas 'dlc'? thanks!
hi!
definitive edition will have a lot more content added to the game! expanded routes, diff endings, more customisation, etc. but how much we can add depends on if we get funded on kickstarter. it will cost money.
it will not include this dlc, as the dlc is a separate standalone game!
Algum brasileiro sabe dizer como se faz pra comprar esse jogo? Eu tô tão perdido T-T
Olá, coincidentemente eu sou um dos devs, e brasileiro :3 (O time é bem internacional!) No nosso caso, temos que usar um cartão de crédito internacional (para conseguir pagar em dólar), ou Paypal com algum cartão de crédito cadastrado, se você tiver uma conta. Infelizmente, o itch não aceita pix, ou boleto. Mas espero ter ajudado o/
how many endings are there for each character, if anyone knows?
four for each, since there are four optionz of a gift i believe? an interesting, good, shitty, and a trigger happy gift. ((trigger happy being the 'ideal' gift/ending!!))
thanks!
I *NEED* to get every achivement... (btw if anyone has a walkthrough(?) for the achviments and send it to me i would be really happy :3 )
Yes please post a walkthrough!
