The Yakuza (1980s Mode)

Main article: The Yakuza

The Yakuza can be found at night in a thin alleyway, to the right of the ramen booth. Ryoba can buy contraband, trade ransom and eliminate a rival via abduction.

Appearances

Buraza Town's appearance has been changed 3 times. First was a placeholder without props or houses, its only purpose was to test the platforming and overall scenario. The second version had many buildings, varied textures and a somewhat more polished look. The third version was changed into a small street with many stores and lots of props.

Current Appearance (202X)

It is a single street of Buraza Town. It was implemented on October 17th, 2019 build.

Buraza Town's Street.

On both sides of the street are a variety of stores, including a maid café where the protagonist can work. Between the ramen booth and the gift shop lies a thin alleyway. At the far end of the street is a fence that overlooks a large sea where many boats/ships can be seen going by. The sea view in 202X Mode contains Kencho Saikou, watching the Street from a boat. He doesn‘t change his position and has no use yet, but it seems like he is searching for something.

Appearance (1980's Mode)

The street has no major changes from the 202X mode, except the fact that the Yakuza will be present at night in a thin alleyway.

Buraza Town's street in an old build.

First Appearance

The first town was implemented in the August 12th, 2015 Build and modeled by Ivan Mitkowski, but was just a placeholder.

The town had no buildings, but instead had long white cubes. There was a small park and a pond in the town as well. Akademi was located on the tallest hill on the right side of the town. At school, there was a small portal that said "Go to School", which functioned the same as going to school straight from Ayano's room. The town was coastal, as Ayano could make a right on the first street and find a beach of sorts, along with what appeared to be a dock. There was once a track field behind the school yard that served no real purpose. Buraza Town was accessible through Ayano's bedroom. Ayano was able to ride a bicycle around town. There was a small timer/HUD in the lower right-hand corner that documents how long it took to get to school and Ayano's longest wheelie. No matter how long she stayed in Buraza Town, she would arrive at school on time at 7:00 AM. When she went to school, the HUD showing the time taken to get to school would turn red.

This version of town was replaced with a new one in the January 1st, 2016 Build.

Second Appearance

The town was updated in the January 1st, 2016 Build. There were houses located around the town. The player could see a shrine and a tower. If the player took a right at the end of the street, the player could see a lighthouse in the far right corner of town. There was a hospital near the school. There was also a gas station.

As of the March 15th, 2016 Build, the sky was a dull brown, rather than blue. The color had been changed between brown and blue several times since this build, and was finally blue as of the June 3rd, 2016 Build. This version of the town was removed in the May 1st, 2017 Build.

• D: Right Turn
• Left Shift: Pedal faster
• Enter: Press if stuck
• ~: Reloads the level
• 0: to warp to school
• E: to Jump (unless Ayano is at the "Go to School" point)

Mouse Controls

• Scroll to zoom in or out, from a view from behind Ayano, to a bird's-eye-view that overlooks a good chunk of the town.
• Move the mouse to change the camera angle (unlike gameplay on school grounds, this does not affect the direction of Ayano's movement if she began moving before shifting camera angles).

Bugs

Old Town

• When riding the bike in the old town, Ayano could get stuck in sidewalks, walls, roads, and at various elevations.
• Ayano could float upwards. It's unknown what caused this bug.
• When entering the school, the game occasionally crashed.

Trivia

• Buraza Town is seen behind the school gates.
• There were no NPCs seen while biking through Buraza Town.
• If the player drives their bike into the water, the player would respawn at the beginning.
• The music played while biking was the Pokémon Omega Ruby / Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Battle Resort Theme. However, it will not be in the final game, as it is copyrighted. YandereDev confirmed that any music from any franchises that are used in current builds will be replaced with music with a similar tune.
• The name of the town was released on the August 12th, 2015 Build, which reads as "brother" in Japanese phonetics (ブラザ).
• The player could ride towards a wall and then repeatedly press Enter to go above that wall.
• Buraza Town is located west of Tokyo. YandereDev has actually picked out a spot on the map for it and might share it one day.
• YandereDev imagines that Saisho Saikou bulldozed a small town and made it into Buraza Town for his daughter, however, he may change this.
• Besides Ayano and the shopkeepers, there are 15 characters in the street scene:
  1. A maid, standing at the front of maid cafe.
  2. An unnamed woman, walking through the street.
     • In 1980's mode she's a little girl.
  3. Five unnamed girls, walking through the street.
  4. A girl, sitting on a bench at the front of the hair salon, with her date.
  5. The girl's date, sitting with her on a bench in front of the hair salon.
  6. Ramen restaurateur, standing behind the bar at the ramen restaurant.
     • It is also the only shopkeeper that is seen with a 3D model.
  7. Kencho Saikou, standing on the boat on the sea.
  8. The Yakuza and his two co-workers standing in the dark alleyway next to the ramen restaurant. However, in 1980s mode, if Togo Atatsuma is dead or went missing, then he's no longer seen in the town. All three of them are exclusive to 1980's mode.
• Before October 10th, 2021 build, Ui Tunesu, Yui Rio, Yuna Hina, Koharu Hinata, Mei Mio, Kokona Haruka and Oka Ruto were seen on the street.
• Before May 1st, 2024 build, The mother of Amai Odayaka was seen standing behind the bar at the Odayaka bakery.
  • The Odayaka bakery was replaced with an library since then.
• The girl on the bench and one of the passersby re-use Kokona and Oka’s casual clothing.
• YandereDev is planning a game mechanic where if the player kills someone in the town, the school's atmosphere would lower as well.
• It is likely that the player will be able to eavesdrop on the present rival's conversations when she's eating at the ramen booth, providing Ayano with useful information.
• YandereDev has stated that Ayano should be allowed to roam the town until midnight, but access to the school would stop at 6 PM (thus Ayano's time between 6 PM and midnight can only be spent in town and at home).
• YandereDev started that if there was no small town added, the game would skip from Friday to Monday.
• In the future, Ayano may be able to use the weekend to gain extra study points, stalk Senpai, roam around the town, earn money, find collectibles, and sabotage Senpai's dates. The player would still get an option to skip to Monday, though.
  • Those dates would be with girls that don't attend Akademi, thus being girls separate from the ten main rivals. Failing to sabotage a date may result in a Game Over, so skipping the weekend may not be an available option, depending on which direction the game's design goes in.
• If a beach is available, YandereDev would like to add some beach-themed elimination methods to the game.
• YandereDev imagines the town being out in the countryside, connected to other towns by a train, so the town has a train station.
• If the police spot Ayano committing a crime and see her face, it will result in a Game Over.
• Some buildings will be able to be entered, but not all of them. There will be events that present opportunities to eliminate rivals.
• YandereDev likes the idea of a stray cat or dog that the player is able to keep, but it would require cat models, cat animations, programming time, and a two-week push back date.
• Before the November 15, 2019 Update, the gift shop was a music store.
• Kokona's phone call says she is meeting in Shisuta Town, but she appears on her date in Buraza Town.
• The Hair Salon Clerk appears to know Ayano and Ryoba as she says "Oh, hello there, Ayano! How's your mother?" when going to her hair salon. This is likely she might be one of Ryoba's friends.
  • In 1980s Mode, considering how similar the sprite of the shopkeeper looks, it is shown that she is a serial killer and met Ryoba who provided her with tips for killing. This explains how she knows both of them.
    • According to YandereDev, the Hair Salon Clerk committed a total of 10 murders. She isn't a hired killer, vigilante, or yandere. She did it for fun, as she enjoyed the thrill and experience of getting away with murder.
    • YandereDev imagines that she was mostly active exclusively in the 80s.
• YandereDev has described where he imagines the approximate geographic locations of Buraza Town and Shisuta Town. He posted a video recording in a message in his Discord server. (The video file is bigger than ten megabytes so it can't be uploaded to this wiki.)
• Buraza Town is the most ambiguous fictional place and most likely was inspired some real provincial city. Saying what provincial city is based on Buraza Town is not easy as it can be any provincial town in Japan.
• The blue haired woman seen in Buraza town as an adult in 202X Mode, and a child in 1980s Mode will play a small role in the lore.
  • YandereDev says that she has a story, but would like to keep it a secret "for now".
• If Buraza town becomes larger, YandereDev may hide The Journalist somewhere in the 1980s town.
• According to a scrapped dialogue from Sakyu, the latter mentions a demon running a restaurant in Buraza Town.
  • • The demon mentioned is revealed to be Bankotsuko, the shopkeeper of the ramen shop.
