Endings

Endings are cutscenes in Yandere Simulator that will occur after defeating the final rival (except the Genocide Ending).

Note: Endings are not to be confused with Game Overs, which are a type of ending Ayano Aishi can get that ensures that she cannot be with Senpai.

Overview

Since the game is still in early production, there is only one ending achievable: the Genocide Ending (the Demo Ending is not really an ending as it is just one of the cutscenes that play before Week 2). YandereDev has mentioned a few times on what kind of endings that the game might have, but they are not fully implemented yet.

It is confirmed that there will be multiple endings which consist of several serious endings, one secret ending, one joke ending, and one true ending. Ayano Aishi will get what she wants in every ending. Senpai's mental state by the end of the game will determine what ending will play out. Even if he could develop PTSD, a personality complex, or a nervous disorder, Ayano would still know what methods to do or say to make Senpai instantly fall for her.

Depending on a specific way, however, is through the player's choices. Endings will range from happy, to sad, to bittersweet, to confusing. Similarly, it is said that the game's story will have multiple plot twists. The endings will be based upon how Ayano has been eliminating her rivals and how that affects Senpai, along with special endings under special circumstances.

Genocide Ending

If Ayano Aishi eliminates the school population on the first day of gameplay without pressing "Z" on debug commands, activate easter eggs, or the police were informed while Senpai is still present at school, this ending will be triggered. Ayano will confess to Senpai, admits what she has done, and then kidnaps him. He is seen tied up to a chair in the basement, gagged and blindfolded. This is currently the only ending in the game aside from the demo ending.

Demo Ending

In the demo, there will only be one rival while the full game will contain 10 rivals. Senpai will be seen sitting on a bench and is approached by Amai Odayaka. After hearing about his troubles with Osana Najimi, Amai will offer him cupcakes and take him to her parents' bakery. Info-chan will take a picture of this and send it to Ayano Aishi, introducing her the next week's rival. Afterwards, Kocho Shuyona is seen having a phone conversation with Ichirou Saikou about unknown matters.

Pacifistic

It will be possible to win the game without hurting anyone. YandereDev has said that this ending is one of the most important aspects of the game's design since the beginning, being very committed to it.

Not Helping Info-chan

Main Article: Info-chan

If Ayano is committed to get rid of the rivals non-lethally but never take panty shots for Info-chan, a different ending will play out. However, YandereDev has not revealed what type of ending that this will be.

Final Confrontation

The final confrontation against Megami Saikou is said to be able to go a variety of ways; could it be violent or something else.

Confessing to Senpai

YandereDev has confirmed that Ayano will only confess to Senpai if all ten rivals have been eliminated. If her reputation is -100 or lower, Senpai will reject her confession.

10 Rivals in Basement

Main Article: Basement

There will be a special ending for keeping ten rivals in Ayano's basement. Any less than that, and Ayano will keep them as pets forever or will exterminate them off camera.

Mind-Broken Senpai

Senpai's sanity will influence some of the game's endings. There will be an ending having him that way once he reaches 0% sanity.

In an interview with Techraptor, YandereDev once explained that if Senpai discovers five corpses over the course of the game, especially Osana Najimi and/or Hanako Yamada, he will become so mentally traumatized that he will essentially be a vegetable. When Ayano Aishi confesses her feelings for him, he will not be able to acknowledge her. Ayano will interpret his silence as consent, and will begin a relationship with him despite being mute, traumatized, and mind-broken.

In the future, if Senpai were to find out that Ayano was involved in his sister's or childhood friend's death, he would be enraged and punish her by violently killing her to avenge the deaths of his loved ones.

1980s Mode

Main Article: 1980s Mode

Originally, there were to be two endings for this mode: a short and simple ending, and the canon ending. However, in the January 13th Bug-Fixing build, a new ending was added, known as the Happy Ending.

The Journalist and The Police arrest Ryoba due to Sumire Saitozaki's murder.

Ryoba Aishi in the court.

As of the official release of 1980s Mode, on Week 11 after Ryoba has eliminated all of her 10 rivals, she will confess her love to Senpai at the Confession Tree, but the Journalist alongside the police interrupt her for the murder of Sumire Saitozaki that occurred 11 weeks ago. The Journalist believes that she has keen of eliminating her rivals, and accuses Ryoba of Sumire's murder, arresting her in the process. Ryoba and the Journalist are then at the courtroom, discussing Sumire's murder, and the information that Journalist has is that rumor from Ui Tunesu, seeing Ryoba carrying a weapon and a garbage bag to the incinerator, disponsing of not only the evidence, but as well as Sumire's corpse. The player will get a grade to determined how they well the performance is of the mode. If Ryoba has a lot - or half - of her innocent points (such as befriending and increasing reputation), she will be found innocent and receive grades from A to S. After the case being closed, Ryoba kidnaps her Senpai as a prisoner in her basement, fearing that he will reject her love confession after the events of the court.

There is a hidden grade called S+, which unlocks the ending, along with meeting the requirements for S. This will only occur if Ryoba eliminates all of her rivals in canonical and accurate ways. After she gets home from the store, she realizes that her Senpai has gone missing and begins to panic. She then notices there's a letter in the table, and learns that her Senpai has been abducted by the Saikou Corporation, and demands her to come to the abandoned warehouse titled "AD79," which she must arrive before one hour has passed. Afterwards, the timeline of Yandere Simulator will begin after the ending.

There exists a third, secret ending, known as the Happy Ending, where Ryoba confesses her love to Senpai peacefully and without interruptions. The trial does not occur in this ending. This occurs in a seperate timeline, where the Journalist is not investigating Ryoba. To trigger the Happy Ending, Ryoba must call Ichiko Saikou's phone number in the 1980s tutorial. This will create a time paradox, as Ryoba only learns of Ichiko's phone number in 1990, however she is calling her in 1989. After calling the number, Fun Girl will appear and explain to the player that they have created a time paradox, and Ryoba can get her happy ending if she follows certain instructions. Fun Girl instructs the player to craft a Stink Bomb at Ui Tunesu, so she will not see Ryoba take the knife from the Cooking Club, and therefore the Journalist will not investigate Ryoba. Then, Ryoba must proceed through the following 9 weeks while eliminating her rivals peacefully. She must also have the highest reputation in the school, she must leave gifts and romantic notes for Senpai and she may not kill any other students. As the Journalist is not investigating her, Sonoko Sakanoue will not appear as a rival. If Ryoba follows Fun Girl's instructions properly, Senpai will reciprocate her feelings in the ending. It's important to note that this is not a canon ending.

Trivia

• Depending on the ending, peacefully going back to Akademi may be impossible.
• It is possible that the amount of suffering in each ending may be directly equivalent to the amount of suffering that Ayano Aishi brings in on others.

• The endings probably will not extend too far into the future.
• In the final game, seduction may affect the ending cutscene.
