Many Games can be found, downloaded, and played during the development of Yandere Simulator. While they can be made inside the pre-existing game, a majority of the games developed by YandereDev and some volunteers are made as stand-alone games. This can include spin-off or collaboration games.

Image	Overview
	Yanvania: Senpai of the Night is a video game found in Ayano's room exclusively after accepting Pippi Osu's task. Released in the October 31st, 2015 build as the first "Spooktacular", the game is a parody of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night; evident by the game's platform and attempts to parody the characters, story and setting.
	Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki is a video game found in many aspects of the Yandere Simulator universe. It is a whole franchise complete with merchandise, fans, plot, characters and varying forms of entertainment—all of these aspects commonly revolve around a pink-haired, pig-tailed female protagonist named Miyuki.
	Released in the August 18th, 2018 build, the Augmented Reality Game (also shortened as the AR Game) found on Ayano Aishi's phone was more of a small little feature that was available upon using the phone to take an image and clicking the "Shift" key on the keyboard to activate it. It features a monster that the members of the Gaming Club (except Gema Taku) attempt to shoot. These monsters often made up the members school routine, and were found near the Classrooms and the Bathrooms.

Released alongside the club in the October 14th, 2018 build, the player could talk to the club leader and play a song that involved tapping four keys in a timely manner. Winning the minigame would reward the player with mass amounts of reputation points, while a failed concert would result in being scolded by the club leader. It could only be played once per day, and the player had to be a member of the Light Music Club to gain access.
	The Maid Cafe is a small restaurant located on the left side on the street of Buraza Town, where the protagonist could earn money through taking the customer's order, sending the order through the chef, and bringing their meal to them in a timely manner.

	Added in the October 31st, 2019 build after being requested by a "certain dude", the Dance Machine is both an object found in the Gaming Club, and a small minigame that is inspired and based off of the well known musical step game Dance Dance Revolution. It cannot be used when there is an ongoing event within Akademi school grounds.
	With the release of 1980s Mode includes a new game in the October 10th, 2021 build. Space Witch—a game revolving around a witch and a goal to defeat the flying aliens. This is exclusively found in Ryoba Aishi's bedroom when she used her Marafuku Entertainment System.
	In the October 15th, 2022 build, the option to play a simple, endless minigame while passing time through a phone/notepad was made available.

	Senpai Fighter is a parody of Street Fighter and YandereDev's second spinoff game, created in July, 2014.

	The Kuudere Simulator series are three simple games that revolves around the 202X clubless student who is a reference of an anime trope, Kuu Dere. Although the games share a similar gameplay, there are a few differences between them. Kuudere Simulator was the first game of the series to be released on April Fools Day in 2015. Later, Kuudere Simulator 2 was released on the same day as the first game did, with the only difference being one year ahead. Finally, Kuudere Simulator 3 was the third and final game released in 2017 on the same day like its other predecessors.
	Super Yandere 64 is a spinoff, parody game that is based off of Super Mario 64. Released alongside Kuudere Simulator in 2015 April Fools, the protagonist of the original game, Mario, is replaced by Ayano Aishi in the parody version.

Although it was supposed to be released for April Fools in 2016; it got delayed and released 10 days later instead.
	Inspired by the well known Toby Fox game, Yanderetale serves as the parody and homage to the original game. Undertale.

The protagonist, Ayano Aishi, has to protect the red heart in the game against one of her occultist rivals, Oka Ruto.
	Midori Forest is a horror spin-off game that was released one day before Halloween in 2017. Paid in homage after Slender: The Eight Pages, the game references Midori Gurin as the antagonist, and YandereDev as the protagonist trying to collect 10 laptops in a short span of time.
	Release in 2018 for Halloween, YandereDev's Greatest Nightmare was developed by YandereDev and AMZE as a platform game. In the game, YandereDev is the protagonist who has to defeat a bloody and sinister boss, Amai Odayaka. There are a variety of cheat codes for the player to punch in to get different gameplay.

Released on Halloween in 2020, the game features the player trying to escape by finding keys to escape the hallways of Akademi while avoiding detection and being caught from their preferred yandere.
	Witch Game is a halloween-themed hack-and-slash minigame released on October 31st, 2021, which was developed based on a dream YandereDev had. YandereDev shared more potential ideas to improve the game, he decided not to spend more time developing the game until Yandere Simulator was finished.
	Yanvania 2022 is a re-imagined minigame of the original game Yanvania: Senpai of the Night, and a parody of Castlevania. The main purpose for this game's existence is to demonstrate the type of combat, gameplay and atmosphere that Yanvania would have if it became a full game series. Despite wishing for different aspects of the game to be changed, YandereDev says he is happy with how it turned out.
	Music Dream is the current and latest minigame to be released by YandereDev on the anniversary of Yandere Simulator—specifically March 31st, 2025. Likewise with Witch Game, YandereDev had a dream about it a couple of days before the anniversary, describing how the masked musicians he encountered on an uphill path played a crucial role in revealing a deeper meaning when their masks fell off after winning the battle against them.

Trivia

• The word "Spooktacular" was first mentioned in the Halloween and DLC blogpost. YandereDev most commonly uses this word during Halloween when he has new content related to the game that is about to be released.
• In Buraza Town, there is a game store that sells video games depending on the protagonist's timeline, although they cannot be purchased due to a sold out sign placed on every option.
• YandereDev once described a minigame concept by using a paranormal demon (a succubus) and imagining her in a minigame. This idea came after he saw a succubus character model in the Unity Asset store. He also described a "Halloween DLC" where the protagonist could have a succubus summoned by a desperate male student, Sumire Saitozaki as a ghost, or a shapeshifter as her rivals in this package.
• In the The 11th Anniversary of Yandere Simulator's Development blogpost, YandereDev explained that Yandere Simulator was a commonly revolving factor around his life that many people think of the game when his name is mentioned. He further explained that he would be more than happy to create more types of these minigames sharing his ideas if the main game "didn't eat up 100% of my time".
  • If he "unshackled" his chains from the main game, he could be the developer who releases 1 minigame every month that conveys an idea he had, and several hundred more before he died. He says the ideas separate from Yandere Simulator could likely take years from now, as the main game is a recurring component attached to his life.
