Framing



Framing is an underhanded method that can be used to eliminate rivals in Yandere Simulator or to restore School Atmosphere.

NOTE: There may be more ways to frame a rival in the future.

Fingerprints
If a corpse is discovered on school grounds and the police find a murder weapon with a student's fingerprints on it, that student will be arrested for the murder. The player can wear gloves to take a weapon with another student's fingerprints on it, use it to commit murder, then leave the weapon and dispose of the bloody gloves. School Atmosphere will then return to 100% in the aftermath, since people believe that the killer was caught.

Currently, the only person that can be framed with this method is the current test rival, Kokona Haruka. From 3:30 PM to 3:40 PM on Monday, Kokona will walk down to the Cooking Club and prepare a meal for its members. If Yandere-chan wears gloves, then she can steal a knife after Kokona finishes using it without leaving her own fingerprints on the weapon.

The description on the scheme menu is, "This scheme will end with your rival being framed for murder."

Bloody Clothes
In a future build, the player will be able to frame a person for murder when she drenches them in blood. The victim will leave their bloody uniform in her locker so if the police investigate the lockers, they will assume that the victim committed the crime and arrest her.

Murder-Suicide
The player can frame a mind-broken student for murder. Any mind-broken girl can kill the current test rival Kokona Haruka, but they will kill themselves right after the murder. If the mind-broken girl is interrupted somehow with the day ending before she can kill herself, she will be the one arrested because she still killed a student, has her fingerprints on her weapon, and is alive. If the event is not interrupted, the police will conclude that it was a murder-suicide.

Limitations
There are several factors that will affect the outcome of the police investigation, such as:

Kidnapping + Framing: If the player tries to frame Kokona while kidnapping her, the police will find her sleeping inside the storage room used for kidnapping. They will assume that she hid from the police and will arrest her.

Framing + A Dead Rival: When the police arrive, they will note that Kokona and the other victim are dead and thus cannot perform an arrest. They will decide that a murder-suicide took place and will leave.

Framing + Insanity: If Kokona is framed, but Yandere-chan is visibly insane, they will both be arrested.

Framing the Dead Rival: The police will notice the corpse, blood, and fingerprints of Kokona. The police are not able to solve the mystery and no one will be arrested.

 * The player may be able to frame a girl for misbehaving to ruin her reputation.
 * If the rival is arrested, Senpai would be in disbelief, but he would have no way to overturn the evidence against her, and would be powerless to help the rival.
