Yandere Heaven
A downloadable yandere shenanigan for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to the world of Yandere Heaven! A place where many crazy characters gather to try and win your heart <3
PLEASE BE AWARE: THIS IS A FANDUB ENGLISH LOCALISATION/VNIFICATION OF A JAPANESE DRAMA CD SERIES OF THE SAME NAME. IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A BIT OF FUN.
THE STORY AND CHARACTERS ARE NOT MINE. THEY BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL CREATORS OF THE CD SERIES!
(more info on that is below)
For my own original content and yandere characters, please check out my other projects :3
This visual novel is an unofficial fandub based on the Japanese audio drama CD series of the same name. Each volume features two yandere characters in different scenarios who fight over you, the listener.
Yandere Heaven was one of the first drama CDs I ever listened to and one of my first introductions to the yandere character trope, so it will always have a special place in my heart <3
While I tried to stay as true to the original Japanese script as possible, I did make some small alterations & additions here and there. The series is pretty old now, but I'd recommend checking out the original version if you can find the CDs anywhere!
- Full English voice acting -
- Pick your pronouns -
(he/him, she/her, they/them are currently available)
- Choose your yandere lovers
(from either male or female characters)
A bright and bubbly world with comic-style cutaways!
A faithful fandub VNification of a classic Japanese drama CD series
(yes, it's goofy, yes, it's OTT, but that's what the CDs are like x3)
- Swearing
- Threatening behaviour
- Kidnapping & Imprisonment/Captivity & Confinement
- Stalking
- General Yandere Shenanigans!

I'd love to be able to give the remaining volumes in the Yandere Heaven series the same treatment, however, this is just a small side project. Most of my time will be spent on other main projects. I will eventually cover the whole series though :D
Please head here to view a list of known bugs + report any bugs you may come across :3
Need help getting the game to open on Mac? Check out this post I made with a few possible fixes!
If you enjoyed playing through the game (or even if you didn't xD), I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts in the comments!
Ratings are much appreciated too ^-^ (BUT, sadly, anything less than a 5* rating can actually damage a game's visibility on itch >.< silly, I know!)
Just please keep in mind when rating or commenting on this project that it's a fandub project. There are so many low ratings for it where people have said stuff like it's too short, they don't like the characters, there aren't enough choices, not enough mechanics, etc. But none of that is down to me >.< It's not supposed to have choices. If it did, it wouldn't be a faithful fandub because it would require me to create branches that never existed in the CDs. My intention with this project was never to expand on the creator's original content, merely to localise it. It's honestly really demotivating in general to see so many ratings where it seems as though it's not been understood that this is a fandub >.<
If you need help with anything or just wanna drop me a message about the game, feel free to post a comment or send me an email: melancholicmarionette@gmail.com
This game will always be available to download for free! If you enjoyed playing it, you're welcome to buy me a coffee, or support this & other projects I'm working on by becoming a patron :3

ty for adapting this in a way that english-speaking audiences can interact with..! i dont know japanese outside of a few words so the only way i can listen to the og tracks is via subtitled uploads on youtube lol- if you ever do the other ones ill be looking forward to them..!
I think this is so cute! When I heard it was going to be a fandub of a drama CD I didn't know how it would go, but I think it works out well. I read through the whole page just to find out if there was a schedule and I saw people were rating this low because they didn't understand that. Which is awful. Something you might do is advertise it as a kinetic visual novel? It would also need a little explaining due to branching routes, but in large part there's no choices, so that would probably be a more accurate explanation. Of course, it's just a suggestion and it's up to you to brand as you see fit! (God, I feel like I'm horrible at explaining what's going on in my head)
If/when you get to the next story, I'd love to help out! I'm not a great voice actor, but when I was with my ex she told me I had a pretty good yandere voice. But keep your head up, you're doing great work. (I don't remember if I commented on other projects or this one before-- I feel like I must have but I am terribly forgetful.)
I’m so glad you had fun with it despite it being what it is, haha. It means a lot that you stuck with it and think it works out well :3
I do think that you’re right, it probably would help to call it a kinetic VN, but there’s one giant problem… it seems many people don’t read the game page at all >.< so they’d probably wind up missing the memo :(
I think that’s the cause of a lot of the negative comments I get on the game (and on some of my other projects too >.<) the fact that sometimes, people just don’t read all the info on the page, so they’re commenting out of context.
And I mean, I don’t blame em cos I ramble a lot, so there tends to be a lot of info to digest T_T haha. But I literally cannot put things any more concisely because I really struggle to do that in general thanks to my ASD :(
But no, you’re not horrible at explaining what’s going on in your head at all! X3 I get ya! And ti would make sense to advertise it that way :3 I just reeeeally suck at explaining anything at all, haha.
That’s super kind of you to offer help :3 I’m always looking to work with different people, so I guess whenever another script is ready, I could give you a poke or something. Also, feel free to drop me a demo of your voice to my email anytime! That way, I’ll have a better idea of the kinds of characters it might fit :D
And thank you :3 I’m just sorta slowly emerging from a big ol period of burnout right now, but it means a lot to read such kind words <3
Honestly, my memory is awful, so if you did comment on other projects before, I would probably have forgotten and would need something to jog my memory x3 I can’t even remember the birthdays of people in my own family without a billion calendar reminders xD Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my stuff and write something so sweet :3
Of course! Do you have your email listed somewhere so I can send the voice demo?
i played the 1 volume years ago and i'm happy the 2 one was also good,what i also loved were the bloopers
Thanks so much for playing both volumes :D I definitely prefer the story and the characters in volume 02, but that’s because I hate stories with school settings with a passion xD
Glad you enjoyed the bloopers as well! Bloopers and outtakes are my favourite extras on movies, so it’s fun to include them in games too :3
i'm cursing my friend because he said that this game is my favorite
...i didn't even played it and don't want to
It’s a good job no one is forcing you to play it then! x3
Unless your friend does force you to, and then I guess you’re in trouble xD
two questions, when will it be finished, and why is aoi so cute
Sorry I’m so slow to get back to you. I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal stuff lately that had me avoiding my PC completely for the past couple of months >.<
Firstly, thanks so much for playing the game :D
And to answer your questions…
Regarding when it will be finished, I honestly have no idea x3 It won’t be anytime soon! This is pretty much just a slow side project that I come back to when I don’t feel like working on my main projects, so development is extra slow >.<
There’s also some content in volume 03 that I personally don’t feel that comfortable with, so I’m not sure yet whether I will be skipping over it or not! I might try to make it work if I can :3 I want to try and stay as true as possible to the original stories of each volume when I work on localising them, but I think that’s gonna be quite difficult for me with volume 03. 03 is also my least favourite of all the CDs, haha.
Whatever happens though, I will finish it eventually :3 At least the volumes are self-contained stories I guess.
As for Aoi… hmm, yeeeeah, but she’s also a massive biiiiiiitch x3
Thanks again for playing!
aaahhhhhh i love this game XD you have done such a lovely job i cant wait for the other volumes!
Thanks so much for checking it out! And I’m super glad to hear you had fun with it ^-^
I can’t lie, it might be quite a while before I can finish the other volumes cos it’s a bit of a snail-paced side project, and there are also some issues with the content in volume 03 that I’m not entirely comfortable with xD But if I can find a way to make it work with a translation that doesn’t completely kill the meaning of the original story for that volume, then I’ll still try my best to localise it, haha.
Thanks again for playing :3
Hi this game looks really awesome, would love to experience it. So to my question will you be dropping it on Android anytime soon?
Like I said would love to check this game out if possible ofc :D
Hey hey! Glad you think it looks worth checking out :3
Unfortunately, even though I would really love to have this and all of my other projects on Android, I just don't know how to get them to work on Android T_T
I tried in the past, but every build I made just resulted in my phone displaying a blank screen even though the software told me the builds were successful :(
I don't really know what went wrong, so I'm either gonna need someone to teach me how to do it right, or try again sometime now that I have a different PC and hope that I can get it to work at some point x3
I think it would take quite a lot of time because not only do I need to figure out how to make builds playable on Android, but I'd likely also need to adapt the UI to work better on a mobile screen >.<
So while it's something I definitely want to do in the future, it's not likely to be any time soon since I don't know how right now :(
I'm sorry that's not very helpful >.< A few people have mentioned that some of my games work on emulators on Android phones, but as far as I'm aware, they don't run that smoothly on emulators and can crash randomly. I just thought I'd mention it in case it's something you wanted to try.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I really appreciate your interest in the game though :3
I absolutely love this game, I adore the style and charm you put into your games! Also Tomomi is my favorite yandere 🥰
I'm so glad you had fun with this one too! Really appreciate you checking out so many of my games and leaving so many sweet comments :3
I'd say Tomomi/Takaaki is my favourite too out of the ones here, haha. Saeka/Sakae is just too much of an asshole x3
Thank you for taking the time to reply to all my comments, I'm glad to know you've read them x3
Haha, I agree, Tomomi/Takaaki treats you a lot better than Saeka/Sakae! I like sweet yanderes best <3
I'm extra slow to reply this time cos I still haven't been back on my PC with all the October shenanigans x3 Halloween might be over now, but I've got a mountain of housework and other chores to catch up on before I can actuallu return to projects cos the house is a dump after being neglected for a month, haha.
It's funny cos I used to prefer the more dominant and cruel kinds of yanderes, but over time, I've come to appreciate the sweet ones much more :3 Aaaaand, in some ways, they can be even scarier than the more aggressive ones! I definitely think Tomomi turns out more terrifying in the end xD
No worries, I also had to take awhile to respond xD Good luck on getting all your tasks done!
I agree that a sweet yandere can be quite scary! (Not that I mind, I find the scary aspect quite appealing x3 ) There's something really fun about a person who seems sweet on the outside but on the inside they're quite terrifying! Seeing Tomomi's sweetness break down overtime was quite enjoyable, and I'd be lying if I said her obsessive thoughts didn't make me blush!xD
I'm glad I sided with Tomomi because I would not want to be on her bad side, especially with what she did at the end!
Oh my goodness! Oh my golly! When did volume 2 release?! Why did I miss it?!?! I'm going to redownload this game immediately. I have amazing memories of my past playthroughs, so I'm very excited to see the additional content!!
That is how I feel about pretty much everything when I realise it's out cos I follow loads of stuff that looks interesting, but then I do an awful job at actually keeping up with news related to it all, haha. I'm forever kicking myself about finding out stuff too late x3
Hope you end up having fun with volume 02 whenever you get round to playing it :3 I personally prefer the vol 02 characters and scenario! Mostly though, I just hope it isn't disappointing xD
currently one of my fav games on this platform such like a i dont wann say simple idea but its so smart im amazed theres not much more stuff like this a amzing concept of making a vn out of drama cds ish sooooo good loved the pastel goth presentation will be checking out more of your work for sure fellow yandere lover <3
I’m glad to hear that you have enjoyed the project so far ^-^
Honestly, if I had more time, I would make soooo many drama CDs into English voiced VNs x3 Cos there are a lot of cool drama CDs out there both old and new! Localising stuff like that can feel like a nice break from writing original content cos sometimes I get a bit burned out when writing my own original projects >.< haha.
Almost all of my games feature some sort of yandere, so if you do end up checking out my other stuff, I hope you will have fun :D
Thanks so much for playing this one!! :3
going through your game catalog by older to newer of the ones that intrest me its nice to see how much people grow and get better theyre very enjoyable ^v^ hope to see more projects love your games so far!!!
Why did I take so long to play this game? I loved your adaptation, unfortunately it's a shame we have to choose two paths, this is a difficult choice 😩
Glad to hear you like it :D In volume 02, I will always be team Takaaki/Tomomi x3 Sakae/Saeka make me want to put them in a headlock, haha.
I LOVE SAEKA !! I cant wait to see more of your projects!! I'm curious on who drew saeka and tomomi? I'd love to see more of the artist's work :D
She’s certainly stunning :D though I’m still team Tomomi in that volume :P (sorry, Saeka >.<)
I should be able to link you to the artist :3 They’re from Japan. They sell their art as assets so people like me who can’t draw to save their lives can still make games x3 All I did was edit the colours & some of the expressions, haha.
I think I put their name in the credits doc, but you can find their stuff here :3
I believe they also accept commissions! Tbh, I might end up using more of their sprite assets for future volumes of this project because it’s really pretty ^-^
Thanks for checking out the project!!
I absolutely adore Takaaki and Tomomi <3 thank you so much for creating this
Glad to hear it :D I am definitely team Takaaki/Tomomi myself x3 Thank YOU so much for playing <3
nice stuff keep creatin' :)
Thank you ^-^ hopefully I will be able to :3
Why do I think Sakae and Takaaki want each other?
Maybe they do xD Or a threesome with MC if they can stop arguing for 5 seconds >.<
Yeah XD I really wish there was an option for that butttttt anyways, I loved the volume and keep up with the good work!
<3
It's me again but on a different account because I forgot the password to my main one >.<
But I do have a morbid curiosity of seeing the characters without the pink filter n stuff. Also I did check your comments about your other projects and I was surprised that you're the same creator who made Darling Duality :D it really makes me happy than ever.
Ahh x3 That happens to me a lot with different places, haha.
I could always post how they all look without the colour edits :3 I should have the stock sprites on one of my hard drives somewhere! It might take me a while to dig them up, but if I get a chance at some point, I’ll whip together a quick image and post it here :D
Aha, yeah, that’s me x3 That’s cool that you know of Darling Duality too :3 I just realised a couple of days ago that it’s been 4 years since I released my first-ever game here on itch xD
It doesn’t feel like I’ve been making games for that long already, haha. Dunno where all the time has gone >.< And it took me around 3 years to make my first game start to finish since it was pretty long and I was also my grandma’s carer at the time, so technically, I’ve been doing game dev for 6-7 years now o.O
My brain can’t even comprehend that, haha.
fehsehfsiubse such a nice gamee <333333333
Glad you like it :D Thanks so much for checking it out!! :3
:D That's great to hear!! Thanks so much for playing this one too <3 The 2nd volume is better than the 1st one IMO, but that's just personal preference I guess cos I kinda hate school settings in games with a passion thanks to playing waaaay too many school-based otome games in the past, haha.
<333
<3
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
<3 <3 <3 Thanks so much for playing this one too! It was a fun update to work on, haha. Really loving that video thumbnail :D Poor Takaaki x3
wow I wanna play this
The girls look so cute
100% cute... 110% crazy (in the best possible way x3)
hOLY SHIT I CAME TO REDOWNLOAD THIS GAME AND VOL 2 IS OUT... TIME TO PLAY IG.
FUUCK i love saeka but i also love takaaki why is r they both hot.
:D Hope you end up having fun!! Hehe x3 Well, I'm team Takaaki cos Sakae/Saeka is just too much for me xD At least Takaaki/Tomomi is kinda sweet in a way, haha.
No sabría decir el porque no me deja instalar el juego. La descarga me dice "Prohibido". No me deja instalarlo, y es una pena. El juego se ve hecho con mucha dedicación, y tenía muchas ganas de jugarlo. La descarga se queda a menos de la mitad, y he intentado varias veces
Someone else said they had this problem recently and it was caused by some sort of issue with the itch.io servers that they were trying to download from >.<
For them, I uploaded the file to Google Drive instead and they were able to download it from there successfully :3
I don’t know if it will help you, but if you want to try it, this is a link for the direct download from Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u0WSypwd8tkZww7rVcAZwCAnQE86SxFV/view?usp=shari...
(this is for the windows version - if you need the mac one instead, just lemme know :3)
I hope it helps! Thanks for your interest in the game :3
Si, actualmente necesito la version de mac. Muchísimas gracias por intentar ayudarme, lo aprecio mucho. También quisiera preguntar si el juego tiene alguna traducción al español. No pasa nada si no existe la traducción al español, puedo perfectamente usar un traductor de pantalla, pero, ¿piensas en un futuro añadir la traducción? Claro que mi pregunta es solo si el juego no tiene traducción.
Sorry my reply is so slow >.< I'm just really busy at the moment :(
I have now uploaded the Mac version to the same place which you can find here :3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mI09a6RIIrnMlECfjhMGM_ApTEuIWpHs/view?usp=shari...
Sadly, the game doesn't have any translations at the moment and is only available in English :( I'm hoping to work with translators at some point in the future to include different language translations in some of my games, but it will probably take a lot of time to complete them. Especially since I need to learn how to actually implement them as well >.<
There is also the problem that some of my project files will be broken when updating the games depending on how old they are :( But I will try to include other languages eventually :3
Sorry again I have been so slow to get back to you >.< I hope the new link for the Mac version works + that you get to have a great weekend :3
I NEED TO RIDE SAEKAS STRAP SO BAD NGH
Very cute !1!!1! and I LOVE the style of it ! This is honestly such an Amazing Game and the voice acting makes this even better! I recently played The graveyard Shift so i kinda checked your profile to see if you had more and discovered this Gem ☆~☆ keep up the amazing work ! Im so Yuri for Aoi and Tomomi...
So glad you enjoyed it :D And that’s so cool that you found this after checking out The Graveyard Shift! That’s one of the least played of all my projects, so it’s a big surprise to hear you came across that one first x3
I’m glad you decided to play it though and check out some of my other stuff too ^-^ As you can probably tell, I ended up getting kind of obsessed with making VNs, haha.
Thanks for all your kind words <3
could u Make it so then it can have boys play it (if boys r gay my freinds a boy and gay but can only play as girl)
I’m not sure I understand what you mean >.< The protagonist/MC of this game doesn’t have a gender, they are never seen on-screen, and the player can select pronouns from either he/him, she/her, or they/them :D
So you are playing as whatever you imagine you are playing as, and you can romance guys or girls no matter what pronouns you pick ^-^
Sorry sakae.. ladies first (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
but holy is this so good oml????? I LOVE YOUR GAMES😔😔 THEY'RE ALL AMAZING ONGG LIVE LAUGH LOVE YOU (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡
i still love you (perhaps platonically im still bothered you're my step-sibling but life goes on) kakeru i swear but tomomi is SO FINEEE (´♡‿♡`)
THE GIRLS IN VOL 2 ARE SO FINE ONGGG TAKE ME
Hehe x3
So glad you ended up liking the new volume! ^-^ Thanks for always being so sweet <3 It really means a lot :3
Well, that’s fine cos I still love you platonically too :D You’re such a sweetheart! Haha, well, ya never know as far as step-siblings are concerned x3 I can’t even trace most of my family tree!
Tomomi’s eyes are just amazing x3 as soon as I saw the sprite I was like, uhm, YES! Usually, I wouldn’t have any strong feelings when it comes to fem sprites, but somehow the volume 02 girls are indeed ridiculously hot, haha. Both of em definitely have better facial expressions than the guys this time! It took me sooooo long to finally settle on which ones to use though >.<
Hope you are having an awesome April so far :3
this game is honestly adorable and i love it! Just that at the end of Atsushi's route everything became kinda blurry?? and then once i finished it, everything else was blurry. not sure if thats supposed to happen, but good game!!
(ive yet to finish the game so i didnt say anything else except for Atsu's route lolol)
That’s so nice to hear! I’m really glad you’ve been having fun with it so far :3
But man, that’s annoying that that happened with the blurriness cos I thought I had finally managed to fix that from happening, haha.
Basically, it seems to happen if the text is being clicked through fast and the game doesn’t have a chance to despawn the blur effect, BUT, it technically shouldn’t happen because the code tells the game not to proceed until the blur has been despawned >.< Like, it shouldn’t physically allow a player to continue until the blur is completely gone x3
It happened in a few different places, and when I was testing, it seemed like it was finally fixed, but I guess not T_T I don’t really know what else I can do to make it stop >.<
Thankfully, it should be fixable in-game by either loading up a different save, starting a new game, or restarting the game itself!
Still, it sucks that it happens at all because it’s not supposed to x3 I am not a proper coder, so when I’ve written code that says the blur should be gone, I don’t understand why it doesn’t get rid of it 100% of the time T_T haha.
Anyways, I’m glad you still had fun despite that x3 Hope you enjoy the other characters if you end up playing with them too :D
Thanks so much for playing ^-^
tysm for replying! I just restarted the game and everything was fixed! even so, i still appreciate that you took time off your day to reply. Ive also managed to play everyone else's route and i cannot TELL YOU how much i am in love. cutting this short, this is a fantastic game and i will play your other games!
Hurray :D I wish it never happened in the first place though, haha. I swear it doesn’t matter what engine I try to use, random weird stuff always happens that technically shouldn’t happen, and I never know why T_T
So glad you had fun with the other characters too :D With any luck, you might end up liking my other stuff then, haha. Thanks for all your kind words and have a happy rest of May ^-^
I absolutely love the voice acting and the girls are both so cute , the only issue I have is I wish there was more dialogue options ,I would love that and more paths and endings like most visual novels but considering the game is still unfinished I'm sure it could be added in future updates. But love the game
Thanks so much for checking it out & taking the time to leave a lovely comment :3 So glad to hear you had fun with it so far!
Unfortunately, I don't plan to add any choices or extra endings in this particular project, just localisations of the remaining scenarios, but I have a good reason for it x3 (which I will explain below, but it might be a bit long, so I’m sorry if it ends up being a giant wall of text, haha)
Basically, all my other projects besides this one have plenty of choices, paths, and endings. They contain my yandere ocs & stories (apart from The Graveyard Shift, which is my only game not featuring a yandere, haha.)
But this particular project is different from everything else I've made. It's a fandub of a Japanese drama CD series, so the stories and characters in Yandere Heaven are not mine. I'm literally just localising the same content that's in the original Japanese CDs.
And because they're CDs, there are no choices or paths and stuff because they were designed so that the listener just listens to the scenarios play out track by track, and then chooses a side by listening to the final track associated with a specific character.
I'm trying to make it as faithful a fandub as possible, which means I can't add choices or endings that aren't there in the original content.
The main thing I've changed/added is to include female versions of the characters cos the original CDs only had male yanderes in as they were aimed at a straight female audience. I figured I would expand on that to hopefully open up the content to more people :3
I know some people would happily expand on the CD content and add their own branches and stuff, but I'm personally not comfortable with writing extra content for someone else's characters because I don't want to mess with them x3
On top of that, because I have so many of my own original worlds, this project was supposed to be something I could work on to give me a bit of a break from writing original content sometimes. Cos even though it's still a lot of work to try and accurately localise the Japanese content for this project, it's still easier and less time-consuming than writing for my completely original projects, haha.
Sometimes when I'm writing for my original projects I end up burning out because the branches get out of control or I get brain fuzz or writer's block. So it just feels like a nice change of pace to focus on something like this where it's just a case of turning someone else's stories and characters into English :3
Sorry that was such a rambly explanation anyhow x3 I just don't ever wanna be misleading about what I'm working on is all :3
I'm really glad you still enjoyed the scenarios so far even though they're only in kinetic/linear format :3 Thanks again for playing ^-^
Thank you for the wonder response so kind and sweet and I really appreciate the time you took out of your schedule to write back I will definitely continue to check out your projects and support you ,love the work and hope you have an amazing future with your projects.
No worries at all :3 Thank you for all your kind words <3 Hope you have been having a wonderful May so far ^-^
Hiiiiiiii >< ^^ i love this games idea and ocs, im glad i saw it xD cant wait to play it tysm for making this u seem like a sweet human JSBAJKZSJN :3
Hey hey!! Thank you so much ^-^
Though, I can't take any credit for the stories or the characters in this since they're not actually mine x3 I have plenty of yandere ocs and original stories in my other games, but this particular project is just a fandub cos I thought it would be fun to try and localise old Japanese drama CDs, haha.
I've done my best to try and make sure it's a faithful fandub :D Which, sadly, seems to have earned me a bunch of hate from various people T_T I've lost count of the number of mean comments about the stories and characters being crap at this point even though all I've done is turn them from Japanese to English x3
I hope you end up having fun with it though if you do play it :3
hii hiii!! Of course anytime!! ^^
I'll def make sure to play all Ur other games then u seem soso talented :33!! Awwe I'm so sorry for you, you really don't deserve that you seem like a great person :(( the game was super fun! It's not crap, the games aren't for everyone BUT they still don't have the right to call it crap everything about it is great !! x3 just know that!! D:
Ofcc I had sm fun honestly !! Abt to check ur other games then, ur SOSOS sweet replying to all comments ^_^<333
You’re so sweet ^-^ Thank you for all your kind words :3
That seems to be the curse of the internet, haha. Anything you upload will be judged, and there is always someone out there waiting to hate on your projects x3 I’m just glad that there are plenty of nice people out there as well to help cancel out negativity :D
Tbh, itch doesn’t really help devs on that side of things because they allow anyone with an account to leave bad ratings on games even if they haven’t played them >.<
I’m glad you had fun with it though at least :3
I always try to reply to everything if I can cos I really appreciate it when anyone takes the time to say something nice <3 People keep telling me I should stop replying to stuff cos it takes too much time, but I feel like I physically can’t stop xD It would just feel wrong to only read stuff and not reply at all >.<
Hope you are having a happy month so far :3

You’re so kind ^-^
I guess a lot of creators maybe don’t check their comments and stuff or don’t have time to dedicate to replying to stuff >.< Even if people keep telling me I should also do that to save time, I will keep trying my best to reply to things even if it takes me a while, haha.
Hope you get to have a great year yourself!! <3
please make a version for android! This game looks really good and I've already fallen in love with both girls! XD
I wish I could T_T haha. I wish I could make all of my games playable on mobile, but I haven’t had any success so far :(
I tried to make an Android build of one of my older super short projects, but Android Studio kept crashing my PC, and when I eventually managed to get it to export a build, it didn’t even start in the virtual test environment >.<
I think I need a better PC and some help from someone with more knowledge about how to make mobile builds work if I’m ever going to manage to release mobile versions of my stuff.
I really hope it will be possible in the future! I just don’t know how to do it at the moment x3
I’m glad you like the look of the game! ^-^
It’s not the ideal solution, but a friend has said it’s possible to run the Windows versions of some of my games on a phone using something called Winlator for Android, BUT, it doesn’t work on everything, and apparently, the load times can be really long + crashes happen if it can’t handle the loading >.<
I actually loved this so much and have replayed it several times. Sakae is just perfect.
Glad to hear it :D I’m personally on team Takaaki/Tomomi, but Sakae has his charms, hehe. Thanks so much for playing! :3
Um well i have problem for downloading Windows version, i tried several times but the downloading process get Failed just in the middle of the process, is there any other way to download this game? Please Help me if you can, thanks
That's strange >.< I wondered if it might've been a problem with itch's servers at the moment or something, so I tried downloading it myself, but it was fine. I was able to get the full download in about 2 minutes.
I'm not that knowledgeable about what could cause issues with downloads but I guess it could be a problem with your net provider. I know when I'm trying to download stuff on my PC via wifi, it cuts out a lot T_T even for small files! It's kind of a nightmare trying to download anything over 1GB, haha.
Anyways, I don't know if it will help, but I uploaded the Windows version of the game to Google Drive, so you can try downloading it from there and see if that's any better :3
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UEM_Orgxv8No7tUq7VjhAoLTAW4m2mSi?usp=sha...
With any luck, that will help :3
I'm so thankful really really thank you♡ i finally got successful to download the game with the google drive link, yes you are right i think the problem is itch's servers because i tried download other games too but unfortunately i couldn't download games with more than 100MG O_o ,anyway thanks again I'm very happy now that i can experience this wonderful game and i will post my review a bout this wonderful game after i played it too <3
No problem! I’m so glad you were able to download it in the end :3
That sucks about the problems with downloading from itch’s servers though :( If you ever end up wanting to check out my other games and itch is being a pain in the butt, feel free to poke me cos I’m happy to upload anything to drive if needed :3
I hope you end up having fun with the game anyhow ^-^
Oh Thank you veryyy much!!! of course! If i had any problem in downloading again i will tell you for sure,You are the kindest game creator I have ever spoken to (≧◡≦) ♡
Hope you best♡
I LOVE SAKAES VOICE ACTOR HIS BLOOPERS WERE FUNNY BUT SRS I LOVED THIS GAME AND I HAD FUN WITH ALL OF THE CHARACTERS MOST OF THEIR LINES ARE FUNNY TO MEHERLP AMAZING GAME FRFR
Hehe, yeah, he did an incredible job with the character! Even though Sakae is a total asshole, mc_cheshire somehow managed to make him somewhat lovable and genuinely charming with that voice acting talent, haha.
Tbh, I have no idea if the original CDs considered themselves comical or not, but I feel like the characters are so OTT that even though there’s creepy yandere stuff going on, it’s so whacky it can’t help but become kind of a comedy xD
Thanks so much for playing <3
I wish people like this were real </3 (fun stories though!! very well done :))
There probably are a few out there who are real, but I imagine they’re quite rare! Or at least, the ones who would genuinely love are a rarity.
I’ve come across a small number of people in my lifetime who want to own me but go about it in an abusive way. That's never a nice thing like it can be in fiction because, in reality, the people I’ve met have been acting that way for selfish reasons rather than out of genuine love for me >.< The abuse always outweighs the ‘love’ in my experience, sadly :(
For me, fiction will always be superior to reality xD
Thanks so much for checking out the game ^-^
and thank YOU for making it!! been playing a few more of your games since and I love it allll, good luck with the upcoming projects! :D
Aww, that’s awesome <3 so glad you’ve had fun with some of my other stuff too ^-^ And thank youuuu for the luck as well cos I will definitely need it x3
where tf are his arms
I'm guessing you're talking about Kakeru? xD I mean, I can't say with 100% certainty because I didn't draw the sprite, haha, but I'm guessing the artist wanted him to be posed like he's holding his hands behind his back or something. To be fair though, it does just look a bit like he doesn't have arms the more you look at it x3
🤍AMAZING🖤
<3 <3 <3
MY HEART STOP!!!!
Well, at least with volume 02 being set in a hospital, Doctor Takaaki/Tomomi should be able to get your heart going again :D
I JUST GOT DONE IT SO GOOD!!!! I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS!!!!
Glad to hear it :D Thank you so much for playing! :3
my happiness knows no bounds thank you so much for this sade of nectars
<3
Well... I usually don't comment on Itch. But I have to cus' the game is amazing!!! It's really well written in it's own little yandere way and the voice acting is on point! I had loads of fun while playing through the routes. The bonus place is my favourite tho, beacuse of the music and especially the Bloopers! :D Seemed like the actors were having fun too! Hope you continue this game as it seemed to have more volumes closed. :33
Aww, well, that really means a lot that you decided to comment on this :3 So glad to hear you had fun with the volumes that are finished so far :D
I usually write my own stories/games, but this one is a special side project that I started as a fan of the Yandere Heaven drama CD series cos I thought it might be fun to have a go at localising some Japanese stuff instead for a change, haha. Tbh, if I had more time, I'd probably try to localise soooo many Japanese drama CDs cos there are some really cool ones out there!
I feel like maybe I did a better job at localising the script for volume/CD 02 than I did with the first one x3 The first one I still keep seeing things I would have written differently now I have a bit more experience >.<
But yeah, it just wouldn’t be the same without the voice acting! I did debate not making it a VN at all and instead just doing the script localisation, then getting voice actors in for the dub, and keep it as an audio-only project to put on YouTube or something instead! In the end, though, I decided it would be more fun to work on if I could come up with a suitable visual aesthetic and make it a VN :3
That’s awesome that you like the extras with the bloopers and stuff too :D I’m a sucker for bloopers, hehe. They were always my favourite bonus content on DVDs, and I wish they were in more games, so I just started trying to include the bloopers in all of my games xD
I will try to eventually finish the remaining volumes :3 There are 4 more CDs to cover, but there is also a spinoff series called Yandere Heaven Black which I might do as well. The YHB ones were BL CDs I think, but I’d just do the same and give male/female romance options.
It will probably be quite slow though because my main projects take priority over this one >.< I just thought I would try to finish volume 02 for the yandere jam since it had been a while since I finished volume 01 x3
Thanks so much for checking out the game and leaving such a lovely comment ^-^
