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 loved this game. I had originally played Glutony Gods first, and I love the fact that Ronin mentions Ther in his route. I absolutely love Ronin and love to be able to see more of him.
glut fan first!!! thank you so much for playing 🙏 there will be more of him (and ther) in my future games don’t worry :)
Killer fish! killer fish from Santiago!!
Absolutely KILLER game
please i need this game on my phone omg pleaaaseee TwT
I LOVED THIS GAME, THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVED IT, IT'S INCREDIBLE, I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT PLAYING, I LOVE RONIN!!
misaki is mty WIFE dude i LOVE misaki
Amazing work! Really enjoyed this.
Completed all Ronin's ending on steam, and came here on itch to write a good review.
Thanks for the FREE game
I personally like Ronin the best as he is more of my type of guy, based on looks only
overkill when !!
it’s out ! https://rosesrot.itch.io/killer-chat-overkill-dlc
SO EXCITED FOR OVERKILL OGMHMGM
OVERKILL TOMORROWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
How do I get past my Mac saying it cannot verify KillerChat is free from malware??? :((
I can't playyyy
easy fix, right click the file and press open, then if that doesn't work just double click the file after.
if that also doesn't work, go all the way to settings > security & privacy > scroll down > there should be a place that allows you to force open the file
thnx for the help but I figured it out myself shortly after posting this comment ^-^
Misaki is so adorable it makes me sad she chose to be a killer
For some reason the game is super slow for me, I know its not my internet and I've played different Itch Io games so I know that its just this game. I tried to play this game about 3 times now but I just can't get past the customization part because its so slow and delayed for me. I also use linux. How can I fix this? ( ╥ ᴗ ╥)
Hello! Unfortunately, the only way I could fix it is just by clicking verify straight away and not customizing
ronin
so cute
the best game ive ever played. youve earned a supporter.
i loved this so much like the detail put into the voice acting is insane - some voice acted games don't reaaaally focus on hesitation or genuine accents and expressions, so it's nice to see! i recommend playing <33
One of the rare games that really made me happy playing it till the end. Really appreciate the good work!
I really hope you don't mind my little appreciative edit ♥
Thank you for devoted, longing, yearning, worshiping, possessive and obsessive character. Yandere sim forever and ever in heart. Thank you!
OMB AAAAAAA I LOVE YOU PLATONICALLY SO MUCH ROSESROT THANK YOU FOR BLESSING OUR CRUEL, CRUEL WORLD WITH THIS ABSOLUTE BEAUTY OF A GAME AAAAAAA -ahem... I'm very normal about this game... definitely
i downloaded it but the files wont let me open them tvt is there a way to fix this? -an evil ass thinkpad user
do i have to unlock one of the endings to choose ronins route?
no. you just don’t have enough favour with him. make sure your sexuality includes men and make sure to flirt with him more.
Absolutely love the game! But I can't seem to get past the first month (for the options after the first month there was only 'call the police and leave the server') I was wondering if its supposed to be like that or if it's a bug or smth? ^^
it’s because you’re playing the expanded edition demo. you want the original edition. please read the page and download the right file.
Ohhh ty!
I really like this game. The art, music and plot are all satisfactory. The only thing that makes me feel sad is that it does not have a Chinese version TT hope to get Chinese translation in the future!! I support you and thank you for the hard work.
i played this while my internet was off, for a whole 8 months, and its really good, ^_^ would recommend playing it you're bored ! :D i love the characters so much, i got all the possible endings aswell!
should i play this or the expanded version first?
Ronins laugh reminds me of that one video "Kissing me so sudddenly"
is there an chromebook version for this I cant even play it at all
How do you get the goodending? Anyway, MISAKIIII
Oh nevermind i just saw another xomment saying bad end = good end ASDHSKKAHA SORRY
Its ok :)) we all did that the first time TvT
No, I accidentally caused my sweet Misaki to be killed :C
I'm so mad at myself for this
sem palavras, que jogo bom!
todo o design dele é simplesmente incrivel… nunca joguei nada parecido, foi uma otima experiência que eu recomendaria para todo mundo dar uma chance!
amei demais o ronin,,, definitivamente meu personagem favorito !!!
Seriously one of my favourites and it's only going to get better with the expanded version ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡
GENUINELY addicted to this. The F*CK you mean it's for free!? It's so well-made, the characters feel so alive, the subplots are perfection...there are literally no bad aspects.
RIGHT?! The quality here is absolutely insane for a free game. I was NOT expecting to get this emotionally invested in a chat simulator but here we are. The writing is so natural and the character dynamics feel real, not forced at all. I've been recommending this to everyone I know!
Pls make It a Android version🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hate ronin
I love how this entire comment section is spammed with Ronin simps and then there's just this one "I hate Ronin" XD (great vid btw)
He got on my neeeerves. OMG!!!! THANK YOUUUU FOR WATCHING. YOU MADE MY DAYYYYYY!!!!AAAAH!!!!I LOVE YOU!!!!
man, i love ronin.
I just didn't understand one thing... is the game already complete? Or is it still in development? I know they're making DLC, but I wanted to know about the main story.
This version (the free one) is complete yes. They have a few DLCs on the go but the most notable is the Expanded Edition which appears like it'll add a loooot of additional content. Almost like this is the demo and that is the full paid release. If you want more of the main story I'd say definitely get that when it releases next year!
ronin is just like amazing (this is super peak)
AMAZING!!!All four routes are just amazing and all the characters are so multi-layered!I just cant believe such a high quality game is FOR FREE?!everyone please download it NOW!Trust me you really gonna love it!(BTW a life without our cutest assassin MISAKI will just be incomplete!!!I listen to her voice call again and again ant just can stop giggling like an idiot<3）WE NEED MORE MISAKI!!!cant wait to play the DLCs :)
I'm just waiting for this to get on steam so I can also play with the dlc things
