Mission Mode is a mode in Yandere Simulator set apart from the main storyline, in which the protagonist is an assassin hired by Info-chan or The Yakuza.
Gameplay[]
10th difficulty level.
This mode is accessed through the game's main menu. In this mode, the protagonist will be given a certain target to eliminate in a specific way. Depending on the difficulty level, there might be other requirements that she will have to fulfill, such as killing the target in a specific way or under certain circumstances. Additionally, the player can enable Nemesis, who will try to kill Ayano, or the "Yakuza Mode", which will make Ryoba appear as an obvious intruder, forcing more stealth-based gameplay.
The mission can be either randomly generated or designed by the player. Designed missions have a 19-digit code known as the mission ID, which can be shared and entered in the "load" section of the menu. The player can also create a multi mission that requires eliminating 2-10 targets in a specific way, including drowning, crushing, poison, pushing off the roof, attacking, electrocution, or burning. Multi mission difficulty depends on the number of targets and does not allow to choose any additional options besides enabling Nemesis or Yakuza mode.

The reputation bar in this mode is replaced by the "awareness" bar; if it reaches 100 points, the mission will be failed. Additionally, higher difficulty levels also result in a lower school atmosphere, making it harder for the protagonist to go unnoticed. To make certain missions possible, there're also numerous adjustments made to gameplay mechanics.
Nemesis[]
- Main article: Nemesis
Nemesis is another assassin, whose target is Ayano herself.
If Ayano comes too close to her, she will get killed immediately. She will also hear Ayano's footsteps and will be able to find her even if she is out of sight or too far away. To prevent this from happening, Ayano must crouch or crawl. Ayano can kill her by sneaking up from behind (only if the option to kill Nemesis is set in the settings). If you send her picture to Ino-chan, she won't send her profile but respond with a few short phrases.
Nemesis can only be enabled by the player. To increase the difficulty, Nemesis can be disguised as another student, run after Ayano as soon as she sees her, and Ayano may not be allowed to kill her.
Yakuza Mode[]
Yakuza Mode is an additional difficulty setting. Ryoba will come to school dressed as an obvious intruder with a katana. She will not be allowed to change clothing or eliminate her targets with anything but her katana.
If faculty and student council members or heroes notice Ryoba, they will try to apprehend her, which may result in a game over. If Ryoba is noticed by someone else, they will get scared and warn their teacher that there's is a suspicious student on the school grounds. If Ryoba is not there anymore, the teacher will return to her job, asking the student not to prank her in the future.
Trivia[]
- This mode was added in the November 15th, 2016 Build.
- This mode was inspired by the escalation missions in the Hitman (2016) video game.[1]
- The protagonist's senpais and Kocho Shuyona do not appear in this mode.
- As of August 1st, 2019, it has been revealed through the official manga "Retribution" that Taro Yamada was Ayano Aishi's first target in this timeline and that his sister, Hanako Yamada, became Nemesis to get revenge.[2]
- For Jokichi Yudasei, it is revealed by YandereDev that Ryoba Aishi's first rival, Sumire Saitozaki, murdered Jokichi after the latter rejected her confession. This resulted in Sumire murdering him, then herself, as she had the fragile persona.[3]
- YandereDev has mentioned several features he would like to add to Mission Mode, in the event it gains more popularity:
- A leaderboard system, where players can share their scores.
- Achievements that players can earn by doing certain tasks.
'How To Hentai Without Hentaing'. December 16th 2016 Build — April 2021 Builds
- The awareness meter, metal detectors, security cameras, the safe and Nemesis were implemented in the December 16th, 2016 Build.
- The previously removed book, 'How To Hentai Without Hentaing' by Senpai, is found inside the safe during this mode.
- It was removed again in April 2021 Builds due to YandereDev's negative feedback.
- In the March 15th, 2020 build, the "Aggression" condition for nemesis was added. If activated, Nemesis will become aggressive and run towards Ayano when she sees her.
- In the above build, Nemesis' path finding has improved and she can spot the player from even further away.
- As of the May 17th, 2022 build, Raibaru Fumetsu will have lunch instead of crying at the tree.
- The reason she is depressed in Mission Mode (and likely the Alphabet Killer Challenge too) is because she had an argument with Osana and they are no longer friends.[4]
