Lethal Love: A Yandere Game is a stealth simulation game by JoRo! where players inhabit the role of Kyoko, an obsessively devoted schoolgirl on a mission to eliminate rivals threatening her relationship with her beloved. Spanning a detailed school environment with dynamic NPCs, hidden areas, and branching storylines, each chapter offers two possible endings per rival depending on the choices made. The gameplay blends stealth planning, stalking mechanics, and narrative decision-making, creating a dark and tension-filled experience rooted in the yandere anime archetype. Extra modes allow for quick play and custom scenarios beyond the main story. With around 120,000 downloads per month and version 25.1.0 current as of early 2026, it has cultivated a strong niche audience. Mature themes make it best suited for older teen and adult players. 🔪💗
