Torture is a difficult method to eliminate a rival in Yandere Simulator.
Using mind-slaves[]
Torturing in the basement[]
After kidnapping a female student bringing her into Ayano's home, the victim will end up tied to a chair in her basement. Regardless if the player wants to torture them or not, they need to occasionally feed the victims to keep them alive; their health will drop by 10% each day, and once it reaches 0%, the victim will die. After that, the protagonist can either dispose of the corpse or leave it there. The protagonist can keep up to 10 victims in her basement at once.
When walking up to the student, the player can access torture options screen. Here, they're able to choose how long the protagonist will torture the victim; each option takes different amount of time and reduces different amount of sanity. The victim's sanity is displayed at the top of the screen. By raising the protagonist's Psychology stat, she will be able to lower the victim's sanity even more. Once the player selects the duration, the camera will loom over the victim as they scream in terror.
- First option is only available in the morning. It allows Ayano Aishi to torture the victim for one hour and decrease the victim's sanity by 2.5%, but this will cause Ayano to arrive to school one hour late.
- Second option is only available at night. It allows Ayano to torture the victim for four hours and decrease the victim's sanity by 10%. After she finishes torturing her prisoner, she will immediately head to sleep until the next day.
- Third option is only available in the morning. It allows Ayano to torture the victim for twelve hours and decrease the victim's sanity by 30%. She will skip the school day entirely, and will stop when nighttime arrives. This is for when the player wants to torture someone, but still wants to do nighttime activities like play video games, read manga, or gossip on the Internet. Her reputation will decrease by twenty points the next day. The player cannot choose this option on Friday.
- Fourth option is only available in the morning. It allows Ayano to torture the victim for eighteen hours and reduce the victim's sanity by 45%. She will skip the school day entirely, and nighttime activities as well. Ayano will go to sleep immediately when the torture stops. Her reputation will decrease by twenty points the next day. The player cannot torture a student for eighteen hours on Friday even if the rival is eliminated.
When the student has reached 0% sanity, they will obey Ayano's every command, and you can bring them to school.
Suicide and murder-suicide[]
If you choose "Bring to School" in a prisoner's menu, a mind-slave spawns next to the school gate, behind a bush when they are brought to school, to explain why nobody notices the mind-slave when they enter the school gates. They will remain motionless sitting behind a bush to the side of the school gate, muttering mindlessly until Ayano gives them a weapon.
When giving the mind-slave a weapon, a menu will appear allowing the player to choose which student they want killed. Ayano must have a picture of the target to command the mindslave to kill said chosen target. You can also choose the mind-slave herself, so she will simply commit suicide. If the chosen student dies before the slave can reach them, or if the day ends without the slave being used for anything, she will just commit suicide as well.
The mindslave will then slowly stand up and clumsily walk to the chosen student. Other students will stare at the mind-slave and wonder but will not take any action. After reaching the target, the mind-slave will push them onto the ground and stab them multiple times, killing them. Afterwards, the mind-slave will stab herself in the neck, causing a geyser of blood to spurt out. When the sequence ends, the mind-slave will collapse to the ground deceased.
At this point, Ayano Aishi's chosen student and mind-slave have been eliminated, without the need to dispose of any evidence. When the police come, they will be unable to arrest the mind-slave due to killing themselves before they arrive. They will believe that they know the identity of the killer (but they cannot come to any further conclusions) and leave the school. If the police arrive during the brief period between the mind-slave killing her target and committing suicide, they will arrest them. The atmosphere will not decrease since the killer is dead.
Framing[]
- Main Article: Framing
You can frame a mind-slave for one or multiple murders by these actions:
- Kill your victim(s) with one knife-like weapon, then give this weapon to the mind-slave without washing it;
- Give a weapon to the mind-slave, then pick that weapon up after the mind-slave kills herself and kill your victim(s) with that weapon.
In both cases, you need to wear gloves or a rain coat, otherwise you will leave your fingerprints.
In the latter case, you need to be more careful. If someone watches the murder-suicide or finds a corpse, and then sees you picking up a bloody weapon, they will consider you the true perpetrator.
Bullying a fragile student[]
- Please note that although the aftermaths look the same, this counts as Drive to Murder elimination and not torture.
The only fragile student in the game is Horuda Puresu. After lowering her reputation, Ayano will need to take a picture of the future victim, talking to a bully. She can do it by befriend either the victim or the bully, and asking them for a favor. After taking the picture and saving it, she will need to leave a note for Horuda, asking her to meet to talk about bullying. When Ayano meets her, she will show them the photo, telling them who is responsible for the bullying.
“ |
Horuda: ...I...found your note...wh-what do you wanna say?
|
” |
The next day, Horuda will come to school with a knife and will kill the student shown on the picture and herself. If the bodies are not disposed of, the school atmosphere will drop by 40%.

Bugs[]
- In 1980s Mode, if you make a rival into a mind-slave, bring her to school next week and make her commit suicide or murder-suicide, the mind-broken rival's death will be considered suicide. However, if you do the same within one week, the mind-broken rival's death will be considered either murder-suicide (if the mind-broken rival kills only herself) or "attacked with a weapon" (if the mind-broken rival kills another person before killing herself).
Trivia[]
- Torture was implemented on the October 17th, 2015 Build.
- It may be possible that later on in torturing a student, their hair will turn white. This is a condition known as Marie Antoinette Syndrome; when one is under extreme stress or torture, their hair will turn white.[1]
- Mentally broken students have superhuman strength since they have no concern for their own safety, nor about consequences. Ayano can use this to her advantage to kill a teacher in the full game.[2]
- Despite that, Raibaru Fumetsu cannot be killed by mindslaves, but Ayano can attack from behind to help the mind-slave kill Raibaru. If Raibaru sees Osana Najimi as a mind-slave trying to kill her, she will not try to fend her off.
- It may be possible that in the future, torturing one student might lower another kidnapped person's sanity.[3]
- In the future builds, people will think thay Ayano is a delinquent if she starts to skip school too often due to her torturing, and her reputation will decrease. Senpai cannot love a delinquent, and therefore, skipping school too often will cause a game over.[4] This will help to avoid abuse of this feature.
- The type of torture happens to a student is what the player imagines,[5] unless animations are created.[6] At one point, YandereDev jokingly stated that the torture scenes would be interactive in a similar way to the "interrogation" scenes in Bullet Girl 2.[7]
- It takes exactly 40 hours to break one's mind, so no option is more effective than the other. Each hour equals to 2.5%.
- If the player presses K while in the debug menu, Horuda will become brainwashed without having to kidnap and torture her, despite the debug menu stating it spawns Saki Miyu.
- The voice actress here is different from the one at the rooftop event between Kokona Haruka and Saki.[8]
- On the May 1st, 2022 Build, kidnapped victims will wear rags.
- In the future, teachers will have different dialogue if they see a murder-suicide.[9]
