Easter Eggs

Easter egg menu May 1st 2020 — Easter Egg Menu as of May 1st, 2020.

Easter2020 — Easter Egg Menu as of the April 10th, 2020 Build.

EasterEggDemoFinal — Easter Egg Menu as of October 28th, 2021/Official Demo.

Easter Eggs are fun surprises in Yandere Simulator that the player must activate in order to use.

YandereDev has included many Easter Eggs in the debug builds of the game. They include wearable accessories for Ayano Aishi, game modes, a small timed event at the starting menu, references to several anime characters or in-game jokes, and a phantom. The final game may have cheat codes that change the appearance of the characters, like the Easter Eggs do.^[1]

Other than the Easter Eggs present throughout the game, there is also an "Easter Egg Menu" that includes many modes that change Ayano into characters from other media, or change the functionality of game mechanics. While these are not classed as proper Easter Eggs given that they can be easily accessed from the menu, this is the name given to them regardless. Normally, only one mode can be activated at a time, and they activate "Easter Egg logic" (which prevents Faculty and Police Game Overs, in addition to preventing further use of the menu), though those that do not activate Easter Egg logic do not disable the menu, thus allowing the player to use them in conjunction with other Easter Eggs. As of the March 1st, 2020 Build, it is also possible to simultaneously activate different modes by mashing the Easter Egg Menu button 10 times to open it (although it may cause unintended behavior as Easter Eggs were not designed to be used together).

In the demo, the "Easter Egg Menu", along with "debug commands" cannot be accessed until the player beats the demo at least once and enables them by accessing at the Extra Menu.

Starting with the build on December 3rd, 2021, the player can type the word 'debug' when inside the school without having to beat the demo

Book[]

At various times each day, Kuu Dere, Senpai, and Horuda Puresu will walk to their respective places and read a book. Iwao Satoh used to read the same book in the library. This book contains simple information on Yandere Simulator's premise.

“

Development of Yandere Simulator began in 2014, with YandereDev releasing test builds of the game for debugging purposes. He has periodically released updates that add elements to the game, such as the ability to poison, electrocute, and drown rivals, stealing other female students' uniforms to change into after committing a murder, befriending other schoolgirls, small mini games, a town the player can bike around in, and more.

Players control Ayano Aishi, a Japanese schoolgirl who has developed a crush on a fellow student when she bumped into the boy currently named Taro Yamada, nicknamed "Senpai". Over the course of 10 weeks, 10 rival students develop crushes on Senpai, and Ayano must prevent them from confessing their love to him. Due to her "yandere" nature, this can be accomplished by the player via several methods such as murder, blackmail, or social sabotage. Throughout the game, Ayano can receive aid from an information broker calling herself "Info-chan", who can provide her with services such as weapons, plans, or other favors in exchange for panty shots. Ayano must also avoid being witnessed while performing criminal activities, or suffer penalties ranging from a loss in reputation that makes it harder for other students to trust her to an immediate game over. Murdering students will result in penalties to "School Atmosphere", which alters NPC behavior to become more suspicious and riddled with anxiety. During this time, she can join school clubs and attend classes to receive additional abilities such as easy access to weapons or increase abilities to avoid suspicion.

Hello. He-he-he-he-have some respect and don't spoil the game. It's impossible to have mysteries nowadays, because of nosy people like you. Please keep all of this between us. If you post it online, I won't make any more secrets. No one will be impressed. It will be your fault! He-he-he-he-ha-he-he-ha-he-he.

”

— The text of the book.

The last paragraph is a reference to the Undertale game file, "abc_123_a.ogg", in which listeners are asked not to spoil the game for others.

There's also a lot of similarity between Gaster and Fun Girl since both were erased and split between time and space because of a "Failed Experiment". Fun Girl also could be mentioning the Genocide Route in Undertale because the quote "But Nobody Came".

If Ayano goes to Tatoro in the Light Music Club and asks him to forgive their sins 10 times, Tatoko (a pink turtle wearing a bow) will appear alongside Tatoro in his tank. She serves for cosmetic purposes only.

THATDUDE[]

If the player types "thatdude" (the nickname of Jay from the Kubz Scouts, as mentioned above) on their keyboard, Nasu Kankoshi's model will change to have a shorter skirt and a larger bust and posterior. This easter egg was added in the April 27th, 2019 Build due to Jay expressing his disdain over the Muja Kina placeholder model (which similarly had large buttocks) being replaced with Nasu's model.

Yandere Simulator Website Easter Eggs[]

Konami Code[]

If the Konami code is entered on the characters page, the website's theme will become dark. All the current characters' profiles will be replaced by a profile of the Fun Girl. Her role, status, personality, appearance, and weakness will all be "?????". If the player hovers over her image, the page will start to turn to static and eventually the screen will go black. The Japanese text on the left says:

“

アラアラ...

あなた誰？

ふふ...

はじめまして。

私たちは一緒に多くの楽しみを持ってしようとしています。

”

Which translates to:

“

Ara ara ...

Who are you?

Fu Fu ...

Nice to meet you.

We are trying to have a lot of fun together.

”

If you entered it again, the screen will fade out quickly, turning black. The screen will turn red after a short pause, and multiple Fun Girls will start to flash on-screen. If entered again, the red background will turn black. The black background will last about 10 seconds before it turns red again. On subsequent code entries, the background will turn black, but only if the background is red. If it is black, it will not change to red when the code is entered.

Long Skirt Mode will not work correctly for any uniforms besides the default one, as it glitches the textures.
When activating Naked Mode, Ayano will still be wearing her panties. To fix this, change into a different uniform in the locker room.
If you use the dance machine in the Gaming Club while activating the Horror Prototype Mode, students will appear, while normally there are no students in this mode.

Trivia[]

If it becomes possible to choose Ayano's gender, then male-equivalent Easter Eggs will have to be created.^[10]
There may be an Easter Egg where one NPC is secretly a magical girl, and there would be an opportunity to see her transform. It's a low priority, however.^[11]
- In addition, if Ayano manages to collect all ten Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki manga, she will unlock a magical girl Easter Egg.^[12]
  - In the 31st October, 2018 build, this Easter Egg was implemented as Miyuki Mode, albeit with different requirements to activate it.
C was used to disable copyrighted music. With Cirno Mode now available, it has been shifted to D. M also mutes all of the game music.
YandereDev's favorite Easter Egg to create is Punished Mode.^[13]
There may be a Sonic Easter Egg where Ayano is naked, covered in blue body paint, and moves at 10x speed.^[14]
NPCs without an AI are not affected by any mode.
It was very important to YandereDev that some sort of cheat code or Easter Egg in the future will unlock a "giant sci-fi energy scythe".^[15] It was later revealed to be Cyborg Mode.
In the game's code, Info-chan's glasses are named KON glasses.^[16]
Undertale has been referenced the most through Easter Eggs, with its references being the mouse hole and cheese, the skull with its glowing eye in the Occult Club, Bad Time Mode, the Fun Girl, and the book students read.
If an Easter Egg from the Easter Egg Menu is active, the Police will not arrive at school when the timer runs out and won't begin an investigation. They witness evidence of the supernatural which is apparently Ayano, become absolutely horrified, and run for their lives.
In the demo, the Meme Closet is locked until the demo is completed, but it has been changed. There are now tables instead of shelves.
The music playing when Ghoul Mode and Lilium Mode are activated is Hitman by Kevin MacLeod.
