Killer Chat places you in the role of a curious writer who accidentally enters a chatroom filled with serial killers. You’re not one of them, but they think you are—and now you’re stuck pretending. The game’s concept revolves around deception, choice-making, and maintaining your cover while navigating the dangerous yet oddly engaging world of these killers. The chatroom becomes the central hub for most interactions, from casual conversations to tension-filled exchanges that could determine your character’s fate.
Building Trust, Making Choices
The gameplay unfolds like an interactive narrative. You’ll engage in text chats, unlock voice and video messages, and make decisions that alter the outcome of your journey. The branching narrative leads to multiple endings depending on who you befriend, betray, or fall for. With each choice, the tension rises as your lies get harder to maintain, and the killers grow more suspicious—or affectionate.
Key Game Features
In Killer Chat, players can explore the following features:
- Fully customizable protagonist including name, look, backstory, and fake killer profile
- Romantic routes with four different serial killers, spanning gender identities
- Ten or more different endings based on decisions and relationship paths
- Optional friendship-only paths if you prefer a platonic route
- Collectible achievements, interactive messages, and minigames
These tools allow players to shape a deeply personal experience with various narrative paths.
From Satire to Suspense
Beneath its dark humor and absurd premise, Killer Chat touches on themes of trust, identity, and moral ambiguity. While the tone is often satirical, the stakes are serious—your character is surrounded by dangerous people who could end your story at any time. The romantic subplots are written to test emotional boundaries, asking players to reflect on manipulation, fear, and intimacy under pressure. It’s a psychological game disguised as a dating sim, challenging your ability to keep up the act.
Expanded Edition and Future Plans
The Expanded Edition brings additional art, routes, character endings, and achievements. It deepens the storylines of each serial killer and introduces more interactive features, including live audio calls and chat-based customization. Upcoming Kickstarter goals aim to expand this further, with new content tied to funding levels. Killer Chat is a unique blend of genre-bending mechanics that gives players the chance to explore the minds of dangerous characters while questioning their own motives at every turn.
