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
-
1Go 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.
