Clubs

'Clubs are a way for Yandere-chan to gain certain benefits and easily access certain supplies in Yandere Simulator''. They have not been fully implemented yet.'''

Students at Akademi High School are members of a specific club or profession and will go to the clubs after school. Yandere-chan can join a club as of the January 1st, 2016 Build. As of the February 1st, 2016 Build, she can join every student club except the Info Club and the Student Council.

Depending on how many students there are in the final game, there might be only a few clubs that all have to do with buffs or rivals. Ten clubs are planned as of November 2015. If the school has one hundred students, there may be fifteen clubs, five people per club, and twenty-five clubless students.

Clubs will affect a student's behavior and, in the full game, their capabilities. For instance, members of the Occult Club may go to their clubroom as part of their routine and members of the Sports Club may run faster than other students.

Clubs will be mostly populated with students that have personas that are appropriate for the club.

Joining Clubs
To join a club, Yandere-chan first has to talk to the leader of the club and select the option of joining. The leader of the club always wears a red arm band on their left arm. The player cannot join two clubs at once or try to rejoin a club they have previously left. The player must join when the club leader is standing in their position in their own clubroom. Afterwards, the player will gain an accessory related to that club. The Student Council will require Yandere-chan to fit multiple criteria.

Leaving and Disbanding
Yandere-chan will be kicked out if a member sees her kill another student. In the future, she will also be kicked out if she does not participate in club activities at least once a week. If the president dies, goes missing, or if there are less than five members in the club, the club will disband. Once the club closes, the door to the room will be locked. Students' appearances and routines will change after this as well. Yandere-chan will be kicked out of the Student Council if she does not complete her duties.

Yandere-chan can request permission to leave, but once she leaves, she can never join again.

If a club disbands, then all of its members will then remain clubless forever.

In the future, if a rival who is a club leader comes to school on their week, but the club was disbanded while they were gone, there will be a short cutscene where they are informed about the club's situation.

When this is implemented, killing a rival who is also a club leader will not shut down the club; each club that contains a rival in it will have one more person in it than usual so that it can stay open even though someone died.
