Loved Killer Chat? Get our DLCs!
And our extras! :)
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?)

Just posted my episode 1 and absolutely loved every part of this game and how it's written!!
https://youtu.be/Annc2BFoZEo?si=zpVyVcMx9LQ42txi
it’s not letting me play
Espero que esté en español
I NEED MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
oh i love it so much and i spent so much time on this vn
ive been playing for about an hour and a half and i still dont know whyyy i cant get ronin route TOT
During character creation you need to select that you're interested in either "Men" or "Anyone", otherwise Ronin won't be available.
When you choose your roles on the server, choosing the crowbar helps. Asking him when you first join the server what serial killer he is (when you're given the option to ask one of the LIs about their serial identity).
During the phone call in Oct, tell him "I like it here" and "What will you give me?".
peakity peak peakpeak
Could you make an andorid version i really want to play this
The dev says in the FAQ that they're not going to make an android version
ok
I wish I could be able to play this game but I have an Android and don't have a pc or computer to play this on, I'm so sad about that but I hope I will be able to get a computer to play this myself eventually, but it is a good game I know that and I can't wait to play in the future😭
uhmmmmm bro, i don`t have a pc or a computer either [yet] i`m literally playing this on my moms laptop LOL she`s kinda mad at me bc i keep stealing it haha
Omg after I commented this my older sister has been actually letting me borrow her laptop recently so now I can play this and other games I wanted to play and it's been such a good time and I kinda relate lol
Oh ok cool, good for you! Edit: Btw I'm drawing Solivan rn ;)
Just know it's the best of the best games I've ever had. To anyone interested in this visual novel: I REALLY RECOMMEND Y'ALL PLAYING IT SM
Hi, this game looks interesting and very good, when will it be available on Android? Thanks
see my faq.
I've gotten 4 endings so far and loved them all ^^
this game has been so fun!!
im stuck on the part where it says "set status to invisible" how do i get past it??
there is your online status on the left klick on the green circle and then you can change it!!
i love this game a lot!!! i have been replaying and am having a bug i haven't seen before. sometimes the voice over simply stops, almost all other sounds continue, just the voices vanish and only come back after i restart the game :(
oh im having the same problem
this game looks amazing, LOVED the demo! will it ever be released on android ? :3
Hii i love the game but for some reason in killer chat demo extended verison yk that part where you take a break to write a serial killer novel right??? im stuck on the screen like there us no continue button so now rn im stuck and cant play the game someone please help!! T-T
Once you choose what you want your character to write about (either by making changes or leaving it as default) you click the x in the top corner and can go back to the Slaughterhouse losers on the desktop to progress.
I love this game so much omg I'm kinda in love with V
Got three endings so far :D
Hellooo, can I ask how did you get he's route? Did you follow a tutorial? Becuse I can't get it :(
Hiii, no I didn't follow one. You can choose to talk to him on main in the beginning, then choose him as the inspiration for your novel and that should let you pursue him. Then just be nice and honest to him. The convo at the end of his route also matters but that's depending on the ending you wanna get. Btw, if you keep getting the ideal ending early on it's bc you actually have to let Angel dm either Ronin or V when she asks you. I hope this works!
Tyyyy <3
omg??? can telling angel not to dm either one also cause me to get the "good" ending even when i'm making the exact choices i need to for the ""bad"" one? ive done the entire route twice tonight :') if this isn't it, i believe there must be a bug....
hi, this game looks stunning! but I have a problem, I can't get to V route, I've followed youtube tutorials but i still can't :c
Ruthless murderous baddies all around! Haha! A silly twist on the genre and a gem overall!
hey so i really love this game and it'd be cool if someone helped me out. I can't get past month 1 and it keeps forcing me to call the cops even though i didn't choose that. I made sure i didn't download the demo or the extended edition and idk if this is a bug or what
i love this game so much
Interesting game. I enjoy playing it.
ACK THIS IS AWESOME LOVED THIS GAME <3333
i really love this game but Misaki has won me over completely
Loved this game! Thank you for this little masterpiece
Given the seriousness of its premise, how adorable and cute it is makes no sense <3 Amazing work!
theres something wrong after i dowloaded it, it just suddenly failed right after doing my avatar. The only thing i can do is quit
help?
should be fixed now!
Literally an amazing game I love all of them
ive never had a fictional character so consistently make me blush skdhfjbnfdljkgskdjfosjdkjndkfdsbhfigukjlmsdkdf angel i love u,, gender envy be damned,,,,
she’s so perfect
the way i am absolutely obsessseeddd with ronin needs to be studied. I've done every ending and I always go back to goreboy! Love that man and this game so friggin much lmao
Maybe all we need is Therapy frfr...
Please make a mobile version 😭 I NEED IT
if we buy any DLC for the original version of the game, will we have to buy it again to use it in the expanded version? I was considering buying the overkill DLC but if we can't play with it in the future i may not.
dlc will always be compatible with original edition !
expanded edition is a whole different game so would not be compatible with any original edition dlcs. however you will always be able to play overkill with original edition, we have no plans to remove the game
esta en español?
Hi there! (≧∀≦)ゞ Your game looks amazing and I really love the art!If you ever think about adding Turkish, I’d love to help with localization!
the game seems great but when customizing my avatar i couldn't get through because of the amount of laggging
I just wish there was a browser version so I could play it on my Windows 8.1 laptop, it's such a good game!!!
Bro why you gotta do this to me i cant play this because of me uisng chrome OS why
I love it! But I want to ask if it is possible to actually be a killer, or end up in a successful romance? (Is it on future updates or any paid content offered?)
expanded + killing spree is what you’re looking for!
Thank you.Will look into it!
loved this game and ronin route was fun, just wanted to say making luca not romanceable from the start is a crime, i liked him the most :c
wishlist heatwaves dlc! feli and luca romance :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!!! But there something that will make it even more good like adding mods to the game cause if rosesrot ever add the possibility to mod the game i would make a lot lot of mods it's could be like in the expanded edition or the original one :3
