This wikiHow teaches you how to install the test version of the game Yandere Simulator on your Windows PC. Though the official version of the game is still in development, the unfinished sandbox build can be run quickly by downloading a launcher file from the developer.

Steps

  1. 1
    Go to http://yanderesimulator.com in a web browser. This is the official website of Yandere Simulator hosted by the developers.
    • The game is unfinished as of 2022, but you can download the official demo.[1]
    • Some antivirus apps may mark Yandere Simulator as a virus because the application isn't signed by the developer. As long as you download an official copy of the installer you should be okay. The only place you should download Yandere Simulator from is https://dl.yanderesimulator.com/latest.zip or https://yanderedev.wordpress.com/downloads. Always use your best judgment before installing any apps you download from the internet.
  2. 2
    Click the Download tab. It's near the top-center part of the page.

    • You may have to click Save to start the download.
  4. 4
    Click the downloaded file. It should be in your default downloads folder, which is usually called Downloads.
  5. 5
    Click Yes on the security message. This opens the Yandere Simulator launcher, which will download the files necessary to start playing the test version of the game.
  6. 6
    Click Play when the download is complete. You can watch the progress of the download at the bottom-center part of the window. Once the files are completely downloaded, clicking Play will launch the game.

    Yandere Simulator is too large of a game for a phone to run, so unfortunately, it cannot be played on mobile.

    It keeps popping up with "cannot download game." Why?

    It may be your computer's space, or that its performance is too weak to run a big game.

    Can I download onto my xBox One?

    There arre some needed tweaks to make it to consoles. Otherwise, the easiest way is to play on Xbox is: get a Bluetooth controller, connect and play!
