Killer Chat!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
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
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.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
Death, murder, references to abuse, and serial killers... ... but you knew that.
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?)

I love this game; it's fun, and the characters are very charismatic and engaging. I fell in love with it at first sight! I know that game production is complicated, but I suggest translating the game into other languages, especially Brazilian Portuguese, which is my language. I really enjoyed the game, but I had a big advantage, which is the fact that I can understand English quite well. This, of course, made the game more accessible for me, but I wish that people who don't have the same advantage could also experience the game. Recently, I played with a friend while translating it for her, and she also really liked the game, which reminded me of this point even more. It's just a suggestion for the future! Know that people from various countries love your games, and this can be seen even in the Discord server—during the introductions, we can see people from so many different countries, and it makes me really happy to see so many people from so many places come together in this way. Thank you for your attention and for creating the games! :)
I was also thinking about offering my help to translate the game into Portuguese if this is taken forward, but I've never done this before and I don't understand how it works. Anyway, I am a person willing to learn, and if in the future it's an option, I would be happy to help, even if it's just a little, haha!
we actually do have a pt-br translation in the works! :) stay tuned
This was sooo fun, I love chat sims
and murderDidn't have time to check out the specials but I absolutely will ❣️
Loveloveloved when you got poetic
LOVEIT!one of my favs already, the valentine's day leeter got me giggling and kicking y feet awoooooooo happy to support! :DDD
help why i can't chose ronin n v route? after asking whose story i want to watch they are crossed out, although i havent gone through their routes before (id angel and miski before)
check my faq
When you play this game make sure you play Ronin last (because nobody compares to him LOL)
I LOVE THIS GAME AHHH
When does a Brazilian portugues happen?
can you please make a version where he is nice 2 u PLEAAEEESEE
I love this game way too much i swear. The voice actors are crazy good and the background music is sick. I also love the colour pallete used throughout the game. I keep playing this game again and again.
P.S i was honestly laughing and dying inside when Angel rick rolled me...XD
I love Ronin so much I made a theme for Firefox with him. lol
Sadly I can't post pictures in this comment section (for some reason)

Consider it my way to say that your game is amazing. Especially Ronin. ^_^
naw i ain't lettin what you said to sfour go man he only made in in seven days yet you said you feel bad for the artisrt DAWG HE WAS THE ARTIST PLUS HE HAD 0 PRIOR CODING SKILSS
i didnt say that as a flex bru
plus what you said back there was uncalled for plus disproven
oh good! he's supposed to be insufferable.
Truly my favorite dating sim! Every route and character has there own story, and only once you played them all you finally see the whole story! I love the discord feel, and I think it's impressive for a dating sim. I recommend!
I love this game so much and I'm attached to V ^^ Also I was wondering if an ending guide was made? Because I think I got a bad end for V and I'm devastated :')
! theres no official guide at the moment, but if you got the “””“bad”””” ending then yes thats the good one (in terms of, yes you are now dating your romantic interest <3)
man </3 Alright thank you !!
This is such an amazing game ahh! I spent like over an hour playing this just to get Ronin's ending and he's definitely a fan favourite (and my favourite) :)
hi! is there a way to delete all save files of this game? personal reasons
https://itch.io/devlog/753169/how-to-delete-your-saves.amp
thank you so much!! Amazing game btw <3
arghhh I'm so pissed honestly I know from the hints that we're supposed to find ronin's name through the capital letters in his words but I can't find it...
any help? lol
ugh im stuck on it too
It's Ronin Beaufort
so far ive only done ronin's route but it has been really fun and interesting. the writing's great and the aesthetics are on point! tysm for all of your hardwork <3
Hellooo!! Is this available for chromebook? No matter what I try, I'm not allowed into the game :< Also, do you ever plan to bring this to Android? And if so, when?
The only platforms supported are the ones listed, ie. Windows, Mac, Linux
No, probably not, as porting it to android means reprogramming the game’s GUI and functionality entirely and I don’t have the money to do that, especially since the game is free. If someone wants to fund it, I mean, get in touch? But no, probably not lol :’)
how do i download this anywayss???
downloading
????
downloading
ok like just click on the Download Now button
i did
i didnt even start and im already mad at the lack of colours in character maker
misaki is so me
Sooo in Ronin's good ending, his last words.. were they pre-recorded or is he really some kind of Antichrist? 😅
Prerecorded. We saw him die. BUT HES JUST THE BEST FR
I honestly doubt he's actually a human. Because of his abilities (Christmas DLC) and especially because of his past (Gluttony Gods game), but I can be mistaken.
This is probably my FAV gamee?!?! I LOVE THEMALL only problem was my pc kept lagging i have no idea why but this 😭😭😭😭 i loved😭😭😭 will replay over and over again
I love this game so muchh
V is so yummylicious guys I'm so in luv w him
real omg
i feel bad for upsetting v
Awwww~ The ending is super-sweet and heartwarming! ❤️
...right up to the very last message with Ronin, where anything I answer seem to get an error screen, and end with some random moralizing message that hits you out of the blue if you keep pushing it. o_O
I think that may be a glitch or bug or something.
It's not a Bonny & Clyde ending like I hoped for, but it's sweet non the less. ^_^
(Provided you get all the clues right and stuff.)
Although I WOULD have loved to see what your life would become in real life, maybe as an epilogue, after it all.
I mean... I did pick an amazing, if bat-crap-crazy serial killer to date, and I don't know how the book I was writing sold or anything. lol
I can't help but wonder if it ended up like a Joker/Harley thing, or a Natural Born Killers thing, or just a... I hesitate to call someone picking Ronin to date normal or sane... person dating, well, HIM.
Either way. I do wish it had that in there. lol
But other than that; Pretty damned amazing game!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My love to the Devil~ ❤️
Hello, I really like the game <33333, but I can't get to the ronin route in any way... Is this normal? I tried until the night, but it doesn't work... I think I'm going to cry.
ohh hi, is it just always crossed no matter what you pick? if thats the case, you might have set your sexuality wrong in the beginning ! (yes that affects it lawl)
Thank youu for replyingg! I asked about it via e-mail and found out the truth. Thanks againnn! <333
Simply luv this game
how do i get other endings beside the stupid early server... im gonna cry..
ME TOO I KEEP GETTING IT AND ITS SO... ANNOYIN..
nahh guess i love our devil ronin a bit
XDDD Feli- Luca- you two are too nice-
this was insane, alright. i went with ronin's route and it was crazy, i think i got the wildest ending, loved this sm.
....still wish Ronon would have tried to turn you into a real serial killer instead... *sigh*
Such a tragic world when even games cannot make dreams come true... *sighs overly dramatically*
The romance part hit you like a sledgehammer tho. By which I mean; It's far too abrupt.
It would have been better if it had been little by little, rather than pick a route and WHAM!
...I need Ronin's beanie. Like...SO MUCH! ❤️(But maybe in black. lol)
I can't believe how hot Ronin is!!!
I mean... as long they don't hurt YOU, then it's all good. ^_^
I also kinda keep hoping Ronin will rope you into joining him.... Not sure what that says about me. lol
I love how the voice chats is used to break up the monotony of the chat, while still keeping it as a realistic chat game.
(Sadly no pictures of murder tho. I would have expected more of those.)
I am SO sad you can't let Ronan corrupt you... 😭
Haven't you read that story about the writer that researched murder for his new novel, and then he got more and more curious the more he learned until he just HAD to know what it felt like?
And they DO say you become like the 6 people closest to you...
...and the mc uses her own ip, not a vpn. Of course she does.*wacks her over the head for her idiocy*
Awww.... Ronin is so charming~ *presses my hands against my face and sequels*
...I mean... I'd probably be on the first flight out of the country, and vanish.... but I'd defiantly leave him a love note. ^_^
I love the hints, btw. I'd be lost without them.(As may be obvious, I prefer my chats one-on-one. Servers are not my scene.)
The scrolling to save and load is a pain in the ass tho.
Makes me miss classical Ren'Py setup for saves...
....If you lie and it comes back to bite you in the ass, just make the lie true, and it won't be a lie anymore.... It's not THAT difficult... I mean, you got one hot devil that'd be happy to help you, I think. If only cuz he likes corrupting people. Probably.
I miss good combacks to Ronan towards the end of the game. *sigh*
Like... "I'd take anyone's life in a heartbeat, but not yours."
....the world needs this chat for reals. ^_^
And the mc is a bit of an idiot to allow their online name to be possible to track to their real life.Not to mention using their normal alias when they plan to dig up details on how to kill people --writer or not.
FYI: Art using real blood actually exist (however controversial and semi-legal it is) and some of it does indeed sell for a lot of money.Of course, the controversial artists use their own blood.The ones taking less legal risks use animal blood of the kind you buy from the butcher.
So my point it; It's easy to sell it under the guise of legality. (If a bit risky if it gets tied back to you, so I suppose I see that problem...)
This game is actually REALLY good.
Chat stories are not amongst my favorites (tho the theme for this was impossible to not check out) but this one turned out to be extremely well crafted, and realistic.
In addition it allows you to save (not as many save slots as I'd like, but it's a miracle non the less.) So yay for that! ^_^
I love Ronin. He's cute. ❤️
I DO wish you had some more choices in telling V your motivations tho.I have a pretty good idea of what my reasons would be if I decided to become a serial-killer at least.(Mostly in the area satanism, romance, fun or for science/knowledge. lol)
And most people I know that are dark enough to play a game like this also know what -might- have caused it.
So why not use that as a reason when talking to someone like V?
I love this server! (However fictional)Everyone there is just nice and cool, and people I actually just get. ^_^
I love how realistic the characters in this game is. One could actually think you were talking to real people.
(But marginally less anxiety-inducing and chaotic. Thankfully.)
(And I can't say if this is a good or a bad thing, but it also sounds a whole lot like some of the conversations I've had with friend before... But usually my friends go more into details of the blood, gore and potentially homicidal philosophies... Despite not quite being a serial killer...yet... as far as I know... could be wrong... xD )
...to be continued cuz there seem to be a word limit...
I can't find Ronin's name tho. Like ANYWHERE!
I tried to listen to the so-called whisper fifteen times over with full volume, and...nothing. >_<
I REALLY hate guessing games. >_> I suck at these things.
I clearly need a bf to do my game thinking for me. 😭
As I seem to lack one, could someone please, PLEASE tell me his damned name?! O_O
His name is Ronin Beaufort
Thank you. ^_^
I love Misaki and Angel I got their bad endings too bad we can't become killers in the game to tho and I wish we could customize our characters a lot more But I love the game
Ill be dead honest, fuckin love the game. I just finished getting one of the endings and MY GOD do I love the characters, some take abit to get used to, but once you get used to em you'll love em! My fav is Misaki, literally my goddamn goof ball sunshine. I can't wait to see this game be released on Steam, and I am not normally into story games like this but holy hell did I GET HOOKED IN. Honest to god the ending with Misaki doesn't feel like a bad ending, I won't spoil too much, but you'll get me.
I gotta give to the voice actors, the artists, story writers, programmers, and whoever that made this feel like I am on discord but for serial killers. Likeee, I can USE WHATEVER PHOTO AVATAR I WANT?? LIKEEE DUDEEEEEEEEEEE, IT'S AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG, JUST TRUE PERFECTION IF YOU EVER SEEN IT.
Also such a miss opportunity to at least throw in a dexter reference of any.
EDIT: If you add Gianni to this game, I'm gonna flip.
