Hey guys!

So I'm fairly new here, but I'm working on a game called "Notice Me Senpai" (for lack of a better name). Plotwise, it is very similar to the popular game Yandere Simulator.

In a nutshell, you're playing as Akira, a typical teenage anime protagonist. You have a crush on this guy named Hiroto, but you've got competition from another girl at school. With the help of your single confidant, you must find a way to ensure that your competition does not confess to your Senpai.

Your choices determine the following:

• Who your rival is (1 of 3)
• Who your ally is (1 of 3)
• Who your neutral is (1 of 3)
• How you eliminate your rival (1 of ??? depending on your rival.)

Any ideas for methods of elimination? Please note this all takes place at a high school, so any weapons must be found on campus.

For sure, I have:

• Poison (from chemistry lab)
• Matchmaking w/another student
• Straight-up murder
• Expulsion for cheating

I'd love about 6 more methods of elimination, however violent they may be.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

 

1. Sacrifice your ally to gain Cthulhu's favor. Fish men crash into her house tear her apart in the dead of night. Authorities think it's a bear mauling.

2. Tie your rival to some train tracks. Proceed to twirl mustache. Do not stop twirling until she is 100% dead.

3. Your rival is training to be a medical technician. Invite her to work with you at metals shop, and sneak some tiny iron fragments/powder into her welding mask so she blinks and breathes them into her eyes and throat unknowingly. When she's working on repairing the school's educational MRI, sneak in and turn it on, letting the metal gather up into shards and drill through her important head-parts when the enormous electromagnet pulls them.

4. Your rival is an athlete. fill her showerhead with powdered Sodium and watch her burn/have her face mauled by explosion and showerhead shrapnel.

5. Your rival is a fashionista. replace her hair products and perfumes with 50% hydrogen peroxide.

6. Your rival is horny. Rig her personal massager up with a pressure-activated spikeball.

That was intense.

(might I ask how a highschooler will obtain tiny iron fragments?)

Assuming they have a metals shop and the kid is ballsy enough to sneak in at night, they will find a way, be it by grinding up rusty junkyard scrap or skipping the shop entirely and stealing mush from a recycling plant.

Also, replace Peroxide with Nicotine. That's more subtle, and easier for a high schooler to obtain, probably.

Well, these are all amazing. If these aren't in the game, the game will disappoint me.

This seems fitting for high school murder. Bonus points for being both pop cultural and historical.

Put 'em all in a line
Add an AK-47, a revolver and a nine

I might do an archery club which *ahem* jut so happens to have some type of gun. Personally I can't see why a gun would be/would be allowed on campus, though.

Of course, outright murder seems a bit extreme for a crush, but I suppose these anime schools are inherently dangerous.

That's the entire dealio. Yandere is the running trope in Japanese/thriller media of the girls with a severe personality disorders murdering and manipulating people for what they think is true love.

Indeed, and it can be either played for laughs or go full-on horror. (Frankly, Yandere Simulator kind of meshes horror and comedy.)

Well, I learned something today.

There's one hidden in my second game, actually. Such fun to write. :3

EDIT- Everything will be taking place during school, and nothing can be brought in from outside of school.

Just go through Yandere Dev's videos, he's already thought of tons of ways from brainstorming and taking fan suggestions. I'd recommend starting a rumor that either gets her bullied to the point of suicide or one that would piss off a crazy student enough to have them murder her themselves. If she has a car, there's always cutting the break lines. You could stage another "accident" of some kind, like the electrocution in the bathroom if you unscrew the light-switch panel, turn off the lights while the girl is in the bathroom, splash her with water, and wait for her to feel around in the dark.

Wait, another crazy student?

Ooh, you could have a Yandere-off! Yandere vs. Yandere! One wins, everyone loses!

All these damn anime terms, I keep getting Yandere and Tsundere confused.

Tsundere = "W-what? N-no, I'm not in love with you, stupid! >///> Why would you think that?! WHO TOLD?!"

Yandere = "If I can't have him/her, no one can."

(And let's not forget Kuudere = "I don't really care about anything ... except maybe you--sort of, a little. >///>")

I have gone through a few of them, and most of those methods I probably will use! Rumors/gossip is one for sure. Cutting the brake lines might be interesting... I'll take a look.

Framing your enemy in a way that makes them look foolish in front of your Senpai?

Getting locked in a storage closet away from where people might hear?

Framing the student by planting something illegal (drugs?) on their person and turning them in so they get arrested?

I'll probably do gossip as one for sure, and illegal substances will probably part of expulsion. How would a storage closet do it?

I was just thinking if you locked your rival in a storage closet, you would have time to seduce your target yourself. If it were in the basement, it might be a day before they were discovered.

Possible mentors/accomplices for even more killing methods, just to be extra fun:

A maniacal "ex-CIA sniper assassin" who the government has been experimenting on with LSD (We did some shady shit for the sake of sticking it to Communism) has run off to Japan or whatever place Yandere Sim seems to take place in, in order to hide from the Reptilians, with whom he believes he is psychically battling every day. For the right price, you can buy drugs to poison, frame, or toy with your rival(s) from him. For an even higher price, he will teach you close-range killing moves and how to use psychokinesis and telepathy to fight off or subjugate the Alien Scum, I.E. any and all Youkai that may be hiding around the school. Of course, you can use your training to directly abuse the students. He lives in the dumpster, and uses his highly honed commando skills to avoid being found by the custodians and garbage man.

A lecherous ghoul who lives in the Ag Club's garden shed and digs up the bodies of girls left behind by previous Yanderes. He will devour evidence for you in exchange for used panties, body pillows, and other such perverted anime shit, on the condition that you let him keep any remaining fuckable bits buried in jars somewhere off campus for preservation and/or pickling. If you triple-dog dare a student to come to school at night and serenade the shed, (assuming you gave the ghoul that girl's panties first, so he can be brought out by the familiar smell) he will maul and fuck her dead corpse before eating it.

A shady-looking girl in a torn uniform, the ghost of one of the previous Yanderes and/or one of the ghoul's victims, sits on an opened, flattened cardboard box in a small clearing of branches hidden between hedges. She is a gambling addict, and will play dice with you for free. Assuming you beat her three times, she will make... Bigger bets with you. If you can kill certain student(s) in certain amounts of time a certain way, she'll destroy all the evidence and drag your rival to Hell. If you can't, then you go to Hell instead. (Well, you go to Hell prematurely, I guess.)

A pale, creepy girl who sits in the back of each class reading thick, leather tomes of history, all-too-intrigued by the most brutal people of the Medieval ages. She would do anything, anything, to see someone being executed in one of the old fashioned ways, pulled apart by running horses, impaled on giant stakes, drawn and quartered, boiled alive, crucified, etc. but she only has the time and resources to stab somebody. She'll kill your rival, confess to both crimes, and go to the chair happily if you show her a good, authentic reenactment.

Dang. They all seem pretty amazing. So far, I have 3 girls who could be turned into rivals, neutrals, or allies. One's a gossiping slut, one's a typical band geek, and the other is a demonic spirit who grants wishes in exchange for certain items. I really want to implement the last one in particular. Perhaps our lil' demon spirit can nudge Akira in the right direction...

Hell, now that I have these to work off of, maybe you could even go for "Good" endings by setting your rival up with someone else!

One of the students could be a disguised demon who loves the slut for her dirty, gossiping tongue but, being mute himself, can't find the words to tell her. If Akira plays Cyrano between them, they get together at the next dance, go behind the school, and kiss, but the boy/girl will literally eat her tongue out. The couple will live happily ever after, and she will be able to scream her proclamations of love from deep within a cellar under an abandoned hunting shed with all his other tongueless wives as the demon finds more friends with dirty mouths for her.

I don't have anything specific in mind for the band geek, but since I've already pulled a lot of anime tropes out of my ass I'd go with setting her up on a blind date with the lonely giant squid you frankensteined together out of the smaller squid cadavers in biology class. True love at first site, of course.

You could set the demoness up with the Ghoul, or someone/something else equally or even more eldritch and horrible, and it would genuinely work out for the better for both of those in the relationship, she would lose interest in Senpai, but then, since, over the course of their courtship he would have found out too much, throws Senpai into a portal to Hell, where you merrily hop in and join him, and everybody's happy! You can't be all doom and gloom, after all!

Conceal an automatic weapon in your trench coat and shoot up your rival, along with the school.

Jam a spork into their eye.  

Fling them into a pool with something tied to them. 

Kick them into traffic. 

Bite them in the neck. 

Sacrifice them to the devil. 

Force them to read the Necronomicon until they go crazy and kill themselves. 

Nearly get pushed off a building, only to be unexpectedly spared by your rival, who then dies as a result of their four-year lifespan. 

-Shank them with a sharpened pencil.

-Bash their head in with a rock/ brick.

-Offer some extremely spoiled milk, giving them horrible and fatal indigestion.

 

 -Have a slave kill your rival, then kill herself. Make it look like a murder-suicide. 

-Improper use of culinary equipment. Force rival's hand in a blender. Set to liquify. XD

-Make her look like she killed somebody by killing an innocent person, and spilling blood from the body on her.

Here are some more:

-Knock the victim out by using chloroform, (Which can be made by mixing alcohol and bleach or if I remember correctly, nail polish and bleach.) then drag the victim to the roof of the school and throw them off.

-Shove a sock down their throat, causing them to choke and die.

-Force them to eat the cafeteria food.

that last one omg.

The chloroform one is one i will most likely add, since I'm doing something with chemistry already. Framing for murder may be soon to follow.

Force her to eat cafeteria food poison. It works every time
In all seriousness, you could embarrass the rival publicly (such as what happened in Carrie). Make the class look at the rival, do some form of very cruel prank (like a bucket of blood, water, or that slime that the cafeteria calls mashed potatoes), and let the mocking cries from your fellow peers take care of the rest.

Yeah, gossip/bullying/social humiliation is for sure in there!

Cafeteria food is poison, amen.

Suffocation (find cello case, stuff victim inside, carry around for suspicion to get low and expose of the body later)l
