EDIT: Oops! There was a critical bug in this build – the gymnasium’s doors could not be opened. How embarrassing! I’ve uploaded a new build where the bug is fixed.
Got a huge update for you, around 5x the size of a normal update. This update contains 48 differences from the previous build; dozens of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements that should help you enjoy the game a lot more.
In January, I said that I was planning to make a post describing everything that remained to be done in 1980s Mode before I shifted my attention elsewhere. That post is now up on my Patreon. It is currently a patron-only post, and will become publicly available on Valentine’s Day.
To see a list of everything that changed in the latest build, scroll down past this absolutely gorgeous Ayano cosplay by the incredibly talented devilfrei!

Changes and Improvements
- The “remove weapon from container with one button press” feature wasn’t fully thought-out, so it has been re-worked. Now, to remove a weapon from a container attached to your back, you must activate Yandere Vision and then press the “R” key (or Y button on controller). This button also allows you to instantly put the weapon back into the container without having to drop the container first.
- The moon will be full during the middle of the first week of April in 2023, so the phase of the moon in the night sky now reflects this during the stalker house stealth mission.
- The “Censor Killing Animations” and “Replace Blood With Flowers” features now function properly with the “killing Osana with rooftop fan” animation.
- Improved the “fire inside of drum barrel” effect so that it doesn’t look like the fire is clipping through the sides of the barrel.
- Updated the run animation that Ayano uses inside of her room to be the same one that she uses while at school.
- Added one more illustration of Saisho Saikou to the Characters page of the official website.
- Updated the text for Ichiko Saikou on the Characters page of the official website.
- Added text labels on the map screen for the Workshop and the Home Ec room.
- Completely replaced Ryoba’s idle/walk/run animations with new ones.
- Increased the run speed of Ayano/Ryoba when inside of their rooms.
- On the title screen, adjusted “year 2022” text to “year 2023”.
- The teachers of 202X now have text in their profiles.
- A bunch of miscellaneous little improvements in various places through out the game, like adjusting the appearance of the hearts at the end of the “Thanks For Playing The Demo!” sequence.
