Killer Chat!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Killer Chat! is only available to download on PC/Mac, and unfortunately is not supported for use on mobile or emulators. If you are new to itch.io, download instructions are here!
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.

Loved it. Though, Ronin's voice (for me at least) sounded a bit too..forced--too professional. But aside from that, I absolutely adored the game. Definitely would play again to get the other's routes. :))
Please, can someone help me?
I'm really trying my best to get Ronin but I'm still stuck at the beginning of the game because when it asks me "Who will give you the best experience worthy of a breathtaking story?", all the names are crossed out except Misaki's, sometimes Angelic's name is not.
I even watched videos and did the same thing but I never get Ronin. I'm stuck. At this point, I wouldn't even mind having the answers.
check my faq.
OMG! Thank you so much! I think I found the problem.
(Also thanks for the game,it's so good♥)
Ronin is literally JD from Heathers. He definitely looks like a squeaky twink <3
I just played Ronin's ""good"" ending and started crying, backtracked right away and kissed him. I did not need that, I will never let curiosity hit the kill button
can someone please explain to me how you kiss Ronin? am I missing something here?
nah they crossed it out so you have to kill him, i got so angry bc i liked him, but he can talk to you when u kill him and he tells you he's proud like i cried
no, you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.
unofficial fan guide
Ended up with Angel's """Bad""" Ending, but as corrupt as I am, if a killer doesn't kill me, then I'll date them :]
Overall amazing game tho!! As a teenager, I felt so at home with the discord layout and slang, I luv it 😭😭
My only problem is in VCs where the voice actors sound too.. "professional" or something? They should act kinda more casual, or for realism, some have bad background noise, or bad mic quality, and etc. :]
Really cool concept of a game tho!! You guys are amazing :3
It's a great and interesting game.But it's really difficult for me,a junior high school student in China ,to understand long English sentences with new words in them.I feel that my English has improved after playing this game.
that was genuinely so fun. a good few hours spent! ronin has my heart <3333
frfr
I ended Ronin's "good" ending but i feel so sad like ??
I love this game so far ! I'm gonna cry and get the others end..
I just got that ending, I'm so sad we weren't aloud to kiss him!!!!!!!!!!!
No but fr !! I was like "why can't i kiss him uh ??? Why ? What did i do wrong ?? Why is it crossed out ????" (And yeah i cried.)
you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.
bro I'm not overreacting but I actually cried bc I couldn't kiss him, I was happy when he told me he's proud that I 'killed' him but what if he survived :o
you just don’t have enough points to kiss him.
im trying to download but its showing me that "file wasn't available on site", how do i fix that?
how will the definitive edition of the game differ from the current version? Will it be more content all around, or are there new features that will be added? Either way, I'm looking forward to it!
chat im cooked ronin set the standard too high
PLEASE ANDROID PLSSSSS
it’s not happening
there isn't any phone versions i think but if you really want to play, try saving money and buy a simple laptop, doesn't need to be expensive. i did mine like that. the wait might be long or not but it's worth it :), hope you aren't sad cuz there isn't android or apple version, have a good life
alrighty
Pleeaaase can somebody rell me.how do i get the ronin on first month ? I tried literally everything but i always get misaky or angel. PLEASE i am begging !!!!
if you’re only getting misaki or angel, your sexuality is set wrong. double check if it’s set to “any” or “men”
The game is just great i love this game but i have one problem i tried my best but i can only choose misaki because the others are blocked i would like to know how to solve this problem i will be very grateful
(sorry for the mistakes, I am writing through a translator)
it depends on the choices you make until this point in the story :') at times u you get to choose who you want to talk to most and depending on this + how nice you talk to them, you'll be able to unlock their story!! in my first playthrough i could only choose between ronin and misaki for example :')
I didn't even think about that, thanks =)
ive been playing this game with my sister and its so good i want to get all the routes
Fucking best game, I've played in a while I need to finish every route right now!
Omg I love the game more than I should xD Each character is unique and loveable! Luca is prolly my fav side-character and have to admit that im head over heels for Ronin. Jett did such a good job, my god! ♥
I don't know if it's the game, or it's my stupid brain, but I was trying to replay the game, trying to go back through Ronin's route. But when I tried to do the decisions that I did the first time I played the game, when it gets to which murderer I want to write about, his name is crossed off. Again, it could be me not knowing what decisions to make his name pop up, but I haven't gone through the first month!!! ┗(┗( T﹏T )┛
ohh were you able to play his route before? if you’re picking all the right options, maybe check the MC’s sexuality since it affects which characters you can choose—feel free to ask if it doesn’t work! 🙏
OMGOSH! IT WAS MY DUMB BRAIN! I THOUGHT IT WAS ASKING WHAT I IDENTIFY AS!(≧﹏ ≦). THANK YOU! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
ROSESROT HOW DARE YOU PLAYING WITH MY FEELING!!!
*not gonna spoil anything, but just in case*
so i've been playing angel route and everything went well...
until it end suddenly and it tell me "angel 'bad' ending"
at first I confused."did I do something wrong? but everything went so great why it end up as bad ending?"
fueled by dissatisfaction and curiosity, im looking for the "good" ending route and I found it. at first I found the step are questionable, but still do it cause I thought I could fix angel... only to find out the depressing end. I felt so guilty I'd tell ronin where I live just to bash my head with his crowbar
why are you doing this to meeeeeee????
now Im replaying angel "bad" end route non stop to cure my depression
also, now I'm stuck and cant play another LI's route cause I cant bring myself to see angel forget about us T.T
last, fuck Ronin, stop hogging my angel you freak
i cant figure out his name ive tried with the caps and i just cant seem to figure it out;
hi hi ! it should be in the last call, the chat you return to after you’re asked to input his name/if you know what it is (iirc) but if you’re still struggling then
Spoiler alert: ronin's full name
Ronin Beaufortthank you so much🫶
I cant for the life of me figure out Ronin name!!!
Will this be available for mobile? just curious
nope, sorry
i loved this game, i fell for V, then Ronin told me i had to confess who i really was, and V ended up killing me, i cried tbh
how do you play this on joiplay? cause I cant seem to play it on joiplay, whenever i try to open it, it crashes
kc isn’t supported on mobile or emulators, sorry!
is there a guide out yet for all the endings? there's one i'm tryna get and keep failing to
hi!! there's no guide out yet but if there's any questions you have, we have a discord where you could chat with some people to figure it out!
AMAZINGGG
i havent played this game but i felt the need to say that my bday is in one of the pics u can see on the side! i literally felt so cool idk bro..
MISAKI IS MY GIRRRLLLL!! Sublime game! A hundred billion out of a million stars!!
idk if its just me but like the game crashes once i get to the avatar creation page so yea, i cant play it
Loved the game in general, hell, rosesrot, your games are MARVELOUS! Though,is V just a literal Ride The Cyclone reference? TwT the username K9 made me giggle so many times I can't take seriously the DM's because of Ricky Potts dude /pos!!!
Oh my god i love misaki SO much. i have adhd and ive been hyperfixating on them for like. weeks.
MISAKI AAAAAAAAAA
10/10 would play again. hoping for new content
OMG I LOVE RONIN IM CRYING
Had an absolutely wonderful time with this
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! But my antivirus said it was a different threat. I don't remember much, but when I searched it up Google said it was most likely a false positive.
I don't think the game has a virus/malware in it, but I'm unable to play the game now. Even when I try to unzip the folder again, it says "Destination folder access denied" at the last moment.
So far, I haven't found a solution for it :(
(I only played a bit of the game, but it's really good! I hope you're able to play it soon!!)
im holding myself back from impulsively buying the dlc for this game AGGGH!!!!! Ronin is so awesome and i do truly love him! I can fix him (he will not be fixed instead he is ruining me sigh....)
LOL GOT RICK ROLLED BY ANGEL BUT TIS IS SO GOOD EEEE
misaki my love ahhhhhhhh
