Yandere Simulator

This page details one or more prototype versions of Yandere Simulator.

Unused Models#

Midori Gurin's Old Hairstyle#

Midori's hair was changed in the 2015 November 15th update, but her original model still exists in the game files.

Musume's Hairstyle#

Musume's original hairstyle can be seen in an update on YandereDev's posted blog. However, it was ultimately changed before the build was released. Musume with her original hairstyle bears a striking resemblance to the copyrighted character Galko-chan from the anime/manga Please Tell Me! Galko-chan (おしえて！ギャル子ちゃん Oshiete! Galko-chan), which explains why it was changed.

The original texture for the hair, as well as its accessories, remain in the game's files, but are unused in the game itself. The hair model was scrapped from the game files before the update supposed to be containing it was launched. The accessories consist of a purple flower and two earrings, which can be given to any female by modifying the JSON files.

Nemesis' Old Hairstyles#

Nemesis, the main enemy on Mission Mode had two hair changes throughout development. The first one happened because the artist that made the picture which YandereDev based her first hairstyle asked him to change it.

The second hairstyle was always meant as a placeholder, as there was a poll to decide the third, and possibly final, design.

Unused Characters#

Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: Which build were they introduced and which build were they removed?

Witness-chan and Victim-chan appeared in the video titled "How to get away with murder in Yandere Simulator" from the game's YouTube channel. They were removed in succeeding updates, but their code still exists in the March build in the file named Students.

Witness-chan was re-added as Ui Tunesu in 1980s Mode, released on October 10, 2021.

Removed Characters#

Jiichiro Takahashi, the previous Newspaper Club leader was removed in the September 1st, 2022 build and replaced by Shinako Bunzai. Other than carrying around a camera at all times, Shinako behaves exactly like Jiichiro did, even going so far as to having the same likes/dislikes and dialogue.
