Killer Chat: Extended Edition

About Killer Chat: Extended Edition

Killer Chat: Extended Edition is a role-playing simulator where players pretend to be serial killers while navigating romantic relationships. Developed by Rosesrot, it launched in 2026 on PC, Linux, and Mac. The game blends point-and-click dialogue with visual novel storytelling. You start as a reporter obsessed with crime, accidentally joining a chatroom for real killers. Your goals: gather research for a book, maintain a facade of normalcy, and decide whether to pursue love or flee from your murderous partners. With six months of simulated time, choices shape outcomes from happy endings to tragic ones. It’s a chaotic mix of satire, dating sim mechanics, and moral dilemmas wrapped in bloodstained humor.

Gameplay

The core loop involves managing relationships through text-based conversations, balancing flirtation with evading suspicion. Each killer has distinct traits and triggers, some crave attention, others demand secrecy. Players juggle daily tasks like answering questions, sharing “research,” and avoiding red flags like sudden disappearances. A mini-game tracks your “suspicion level,” spiking if you ask too many gruesome details or behave oddly. The six-month timeline progresses in real-time, with events like dates, confessions, and potential confrontations. Decisions ripple: choosing to trust a killer might lead to intimacy, while betrayal risks death or arrest. The game ends with one of 12+ branching conclusions, determined by your relationship scores and how well you hid your true self.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 65% completing the main story. Average playtime is 12 hours, though some extend to 20+ for full endings. Community moods skew 45% amused, 30% intrigued, 20% horrified, and 5% annoyed. Critics praise its “sharp, grotesque humor” (PC Gamer 8.5/10) and “refreshing take on dating sim tropes” (GameSpot 8/10). Some call it “a masterclass in tonal absurdity,” while others find the pacing uneven. Achievements include “Motive Confirmed” (arrested by police) and “Honeymooners” (married a killer). With 32 achievements, 40% of players earn 90%+ in completion. The $19.99 price tag feels fair, especially for fans of chaotic, dialogue-heavy games.

PlayPile's Take

Killer Chat: Extended Edition is a niche but sharp satire best for players who enjoy absurd storytelling and moral ambiguity. The dialogue-driven gameplay suits those who savor branching narratives and dark humor. While not a deep simulation, it excels as a bite-sized experiment in blending love and horror. At under 20 hours of playtime, it’s a quick, memorable trip into twisted romance. The price is low enough to justify a playthrough, especially if you thrive in games that mock genre conventions. Just be ready to laugh at your own gruesome choices.
