Five Nights at Yandere's

Scott Cawthon is coming out with a book called "The Freddy Files," detailing gameplay and lore that we know up to this point - and maybe a bit beyond. It comes out at the end of August (probably around the time Matt Mercer's Tal'Dorei book drops too), but it already has a rating of 4.7 out of 5. Published by Scholastic, its cover is reminiscent of that of Goosebumps; I love it. Hopefully it does not disappoint; I'm considering pre-ordering it as well as Matt's book. This may be a good gauge of the fan base, seeing how many people are looking forward to the movie and perhaps another game.

Another project still in the works is Yandere Simulator, which has progessed much further than the last time I had checked in on it (which was probably around the time Random Encounters did their Senpai Notice Me video). While it was obvious that the developer drew inspiration from Hitman, he made a Mission Mode where you get jobs from Info-chan to kill certain people in certain ways, just like in Hitman. He also likes Persona and recently drew a lot of inspiration from Persona 5 in regard to world-building and mechanics (and it wasn't lost on me that Shiho resembles the titular Yandere by sheer coincidence). If he continues to breathe new life into this project, more people will take notice. There are definitely still fans out there who ask him questions and send him things. I'm a fan of Kuudere myself.

Speaking of the title of this blog...maybe that could be an idea for the game, or at least a spoof video like he did with Yanderetale (an Undertale-style boss battle versus the Occult Club leader Oka). Yandere does have the option of torturing people (or at least holding them hostage) in her basement. I don't know how that would work (and he probably wouldn't do it), but it's something to think about. Although he reminds us at the end of or during several of his update videos, Yandere isn't a good person. However, the cutscene where she decides not to kill Kokona and resolves things peacefully instead (in that she asks her not to pursue Senpai and she reluctantly agrees, as Yandere has saved her family from debt) was really awesome. Pacifist run, yes.
