Free stealth action game

Yandere Simulator High School is a free-to-play action game from azyutikol. As a mobile port of the cult classic stealth game, you play as the titular lovesick girl named Ayano Aishi as you try to eliminate your perceived rivals in love. Follow your upperclassman Taro Yamada and use a variety of tricks to make sure no other girl comes near him.

Not a game for kids, Yandere Simulator High School is a good game because of its psychological horror aspect. It is one of the countless Yandere Simulator copies, similar to High School Girls Simulator 2020 or Yandere School Simulator.

Be the last girl standing

Yandere Simulator High School, like most of its similar games, revolves around the concept of yandere. Often used in pop culture works like anime or manga, this character archetype refers to a character that usually starts out sweet and innocent, but has a dark and violent side coupled with exaggerated possessiveness to the object of desire. In this game, expect mature content that is violent or sexual in nature.

As another yandere simulator, this one unsurprisingly feels lacking compared to the original YandereDev creation. There are a lot of characters introduced as you play along, yet not everyone develops into a full-blown love rival. Additionally, the elimination methods in this particular app are limited. You have straightforward methods such as burning, crushing, or drowning, but not more strategic ones such as framing up your rival or getting them expelled.

In terms of controls, the game can be unresponsive at times. It uses the commonly mapped controller on your touchscreen, which makes it intuitive at the cost of covering certain parts of the screen. Lastly, the game also suffers from incessant ads. Aside from the in-game ads, it also comes with periodic reminders to rate the game on the Google Play store or share it on your social media accounts.

A viable alternative

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Yandere schoolgirl story, Yandere Simulator High School is a viable option. It definitely comes up short in the face of the original, but it still does a good job of offering a slightly different experience using the same roster of characters. By retaining the yandere element in this version, it creates a stealth action experience that is equal parts thrilling and disturbing.
