The "I dropped out of college 2 semesters before graduating. Look at me now" line is the most relatable shit I've heard from you Mark.

When she says, “Follow me.” she’s really saying “Obey me” as in “Follow my instructions.” So the Japanese dialogue is actually creepier, in my opinion. 😳

"I promise you it will be slow and painful" And of course Mark replies "Don't promise me with a good time". Something something masochism. I ask for more episodes.

The music is often a good indicator of whether you’re safe. The bell/chime music is typically ‘safe’. If the music suddenly stops, she’s around a corner ready to ambush you (if you go to the point in the video where she ambushed him from around the corner, the music stopped several feet beforehand). And of course the sudden strings or whir noise means she’s heard/seen you. No music while she’s in pursuit as well.

Mark: *sees body in locker* Mark: “im shaking and crying rn”

The Yandere AI is what makes the game special because of how smart she is when hunting the player

33: 33 if you go frame by frame, you can see the AI knows to hide around corners! That's amazingly advanced.

Some notes about this game Saiko can hear things, therefor running makes a lot of noise. Its entirely possible to play this game without Saiko seeing you because of this (atleast on Normal mode) Saiko has two modes on Normal and Hard Mode when interacting with the player. One is harmless and the other she will harm you. You can get her mad, and get her angry enough and that'll trigger hers one hit kill move. This can trigger by hiding in a single area and Saiko finding you. Not sure if you can do this in the current version, but in previous versions there was small rooms that you can hide in and if Saiko finds you, she'll instantly kill you. You can headpat her to calm her down I think, only on normal and hard mode. Glass will harm you, but you can bypass this by either walking slowly or finding shoes. For some reason Saiko took your shoes.

I love how nobody be talking about how mark almost said, “Hello everybody my name is Saiku No Sutoka.” Kinda like where he accidentally said “Hello every my name is welcome”

*Mark:* _"If you love something, you got to let it go"_ *also Mark in Yandere Simulator:* _"I love Senpai! Yes I do! He's for me! NOT FOR YOU!"_

The reason the school looks familiar is because it’s from the Asset Store. Yandere Sim’s early builds used a lot of Asset Store stuff for the sake of early proof of concept stuff, and t he building only got more original in later builds.

The AI in this game is super scary. I love how she just hides around corners waiting for you.

she actually has three modes, one where she is friendly, and try to stalk the player and provide healing items if she damaged them another where she is violent and will try to kill the player. and the last one is where she will pretend to be friendly in order to trick the player into trusting her.

Mark: "You said you would let me go, and you didn't." Saiko: "I used and advanced technique called 'lying.'"

In "Yandere mode", your actually playing as the main protaganists best friend, and he wasn't dead- just knocked on concious.(Most likely from Saiko's smoke bombs.) Which Saiko purposely had so she could lure him into the school to get him out of the way so she could be with the protaganist WHOS NAME I FORGOT. edit: It was a drug, not a smoke bomb.

Character: “I will make it slow and painful” Mark (not a masochist) Fischbach: “don’t threaten me with a good time.”

The girl: “it’s fine, I’ll let you go now” Mark: **runs away and gets killed** “WHAT YOU SAID YOUD LET ME GO” Girl: “here take this key it’s for you” Mark: **takes the key and gets killed immediately** “WHAT BUT YOU OFFERED” He never learns

Just a tip: if her dialogue is pink she currently friendly, if her dialogue turns red you might wanna run

21:12 I freaking love the line "i'm in the libary now, you can't get me. You gotta be quit in here!" Marks fast and witty delivery is amazing.

At 41:57 Mark says, "the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" and that's actually a poetic way of saying, "I love you."

"Is the building from Yandere Simulator?" No, Mark, this building is from quite literally every and any slice of life anime that revolves around high school students.

Saiko: *Says she’ll let him go and doesn’t* Mark: “I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed, and I’ve been quite possibly bamboozled”

It's really interesting for one of these "Evade the monster" games to actually give the pursuer varied personalities, but I still couldn't help but hope Mark shoves her off the rooftop in a surprise betrayal.

Other KZfaqrs: **Tries to escape** Markipiler: 11:56 **Tries to calm her down and values her** 15:48 "Did you hit me in balls?"

38:10 "Slow and painful? Don't promise me with a good time." Mark is clearly not a masochist

That yandere actually thought she could threaten a masochist.

The fact that she says "it's been a while hasn't it?" and "did you miss me from the last time" makes me think her yandere side/'him' has some sort of meta knowledge and remembers all the times she tormented the player before, like in other playthroughs and builds. Like she's actually partially possessed by another being. That's a pretty cool idea, if it's intentional! (Even if it isn't intentional, it's my headcanon for now!)

She looks to have a split personality- A genuinely friendly girl and a ruthless, sadistic killer lurking right underneath. You would think the killer side would just off you. Maybe the good side is trying to sabotage the killer and help you?

33:04 Traps don't randomly spawn and unlike Monstrum she doesn't teleport around to always stay within a distance of the player meaning she found Mark and instead of attacking or announcing her presence she snuck in and placed the trap while he wasn't looking. Saiko is an incredibly in depth AI and the creator happily shows it off on their youtube channel. I suggest to all interested that you play the game a bit and then go to the channel and check it out. She almost feels alive with how she acts and treats the player.

The design for this enemy is really interesting, impressive and unsettling. It's one thing to have a creepy monster that's always trying to kill you, It's another thing entirely to have a monster that flips between terrorizing you and apologizing. Like if 50% of the time, Slenderman was like "wait bro, come back, I won't hurt you I promise"

Fun fact: the yandere mode character that you play as isn’t The same character as the other levels/mods. The main person you play as is Saiko’s love interest, but for the Yandere mode it is another character named Shinji who is the main persons good friend- in the one scene when Shinji is on the infirmary bed she cuts of his head and you later on hear his scream when getting out of the chair. This also relates back to the main menu screen with the head placed on the desk in front of Saiko.

Some tips: ____________________________________________________________________________ *1)* Pink text = Normal mode and Red text = Yangire ____________________________________________________________________________ *2)* You can calm Saiko through head pats if she's in the process of switching to Yangire. However, this can sometimes fail. ____________________________________________________________________________ *3)* Locked rooms will have the numbers for the safe ____________________________________________________________________________ *4)* Keys can't be found in lockers ____________________________________________________________________________ *5)* Saiko can hear running and doors opening if near. It's best to open all doors and check them later ____________________________________________________________________________ *6)* It's a good idea to not creep around corners as the AI can camp corners (Example: 33:34) ____________________________________________________________________________ *7)* You can crouch through tripwires and glass. Crouching through glass will make noise though ____________________________________________________________________________ *8)* It's best not to use the infirmary key until you need it because Saiko can relock the room ____________________________________________________________________________ *9)* You can try running or using the power switch as a distraction if you want to move her away from a specific spot. Like the headmaster room for example ____________________________________________________________________________ *10)* If you get drugged and fall asleep while she is Yangire, she will instakill you. If you fall asleep while she's normal, she will kidnap you in the infirmary. Please make more videos on this game. This game has become one of my all-time favorites. Btw I wouldn't recommend Yangire mode until you have a good understanding of the game's mechanics and map knowledge

I'd love to see mark play it again. The enemy having a hostile/non-hostile mode where you can actively interact with them is very unique. Like her offering the key, and then running away with it, like she's playing keep-away. Not to mention the fact she is completely unpredictable, where she actively lies to you. Like "you can go' and then literally backstabbing you. It's a very cool AI.

i just realized, when she says "i will be back soon" at the beginning of the yandere level, you hear a locker closing-- thats her locking the tied guy in the locker!

You can crouch to prevent tripping the tripwires. Also you should knock over the picture frame in the headmaster room in Yangire mode and see what happens ;)

3:05 She : "What are you doing" Mark : "Ok"

It's always nice to see mark go back and play the full version of a game he's played the demo of.

mark: i’m not a masochist also mark: slow and painful eh? don’t promise me a good time

I love this idea so much, because she doesn't just have OLD (obsessive love disorder, most commonly interpreted in yanderes) but she also represents DID (dissociative identity disorder). in a way that isn't just "ooh I'm this person now ooh look now I'm a different person" She actually has a realistic touch to her DID. and she represents obbsesive love disorder better than most yanderes, only being murdering any possible love interest, but when she feels that she is not in comfort with him, she will become hostile/different "triggered" identity (due to DID). showing that the unfortunate people with OLD aren't "yanderes", they are people who seek comfort in a person they care for, and are willing to do anything to anything to be with them.

That jump scare at 33:30 made me throw my phone on the bus 🤣

God I love that you can interact with her as if she wasn't the enemy sometimes. I don't remember seeing something like that before! Usually you approach your enemy and bam you're hurt/dead. This game is different. This enemy is ok to be next to sometimes, and nope some others. Also I like that you technically can answer the question of "why can't you hear her coming" with "well, she's barefoot." That would actually make sense.

this game pays so much to little details, like her staring through the classroom windows, i love it. Also her playing rock papaer scissors and how she isnt inherently going to kill you until you try to escape. all these neat details

“That guy? That you killed? Just now? Very annoying~” …he’s not wrong.

4:51 her adorable scream tho TvT

"Slow and painful, eh? Heyyy, don't threaten me with a good time." Mark "I'm not a masochist" Iplier

I really like the villain modes she has. Basically harmless, playful, hunting mode. I'm interested to see what the other endings are. I break underpressure to I wouldn't survive playing the game myself. Thank you for "returning" to this game. Its a fun one.

27:45 11 counts of "It's not a big deal." Now if we want to go into detail on this piece, if you look closely, there are: 7 "It's not a big deal"s and then 4 "Snot a big deal"s Edit: I would love to see more of this. Psycho anime girls are scary but a fun concept. lol

i think the name has katakana behind it, saiko(psycho), sutoka(stalker)

This game is terrifying, the AI is utterly unpredictable, and I'm down for more episodes.

Mark: “I’m not a masochist” Also mark when he’s threatened with being killed slow and painfully: don’t threaten me with a good time 😏😏

The idea of a nightmarish murder crazed yandere girl trying to get away from Mark coming on too strongly is hilarious

I've never seen a horror game so good that it literally sends me into panic and anxiety right from the start, and horror is a concept that doesn't much give me that feeling anymore. every time I rewatch him play it, the more it puts me on edge. the voice acting and sounds are beautiful, and the art of it is stunning, the detail they put in to the yandere as well. the movements seem so smooth, and the yandere's actions, emotions, and voice literally sends chills down my spine and puts me in a horrible sense of dread. hands down, an absolutely amazing game. it is so perfectly made. 10/10.

Mark: **never uses the door locking mechanic** My anxiety: 📈📈📈📈

Another tip for the gameplay: when the chimes/xylophone music cuts out, she’s either behind you or right around one of the corners.

“The player getting his throat cut” Mark: *Casual Ow sounds*

Mark: “You’re head is way too big.” Kinji Toyama: “Stop following me, fivehead.”

Hey Mark or Lixian, the Yandere difficulty is actually a prologue to the main game. It shows the friend(who is killed) trying to find the main character(who you play later) looking for you after school.

one thing i love about this game is how extremely erratic and random the AI behaves. The personality changes. One min she is sorry, next she stabs you. she runs after you or just decides to hang back and peek from a window or corner. it is so good.

Definitely one the more unique enemy type for a horror game. Instead of them catching you means instant or quick death they just hurt you or capture you or mess with you.

8:11 How did the editor make that so smooth😂

Mark: *sees body in locker* Mark: "im shaking and crying rn"

I honestly find the whole concept of a sometimes-passive enemy in a game like this to be really cool. In the demo, she's just there to kill you, there's no personality or anything she's just "the thing you avoid." Here you can kinda.. play with her. It's really intriguing, that last run was what I wanted you to do from the beginning, I think that concept could be expanded on and maybe even there could be a way to win by maneuvering some give-and-take kind of game with her, playing with her when she's passive and running when she's not. Very unique! Definitely wanna see where this game goes and if you do choose to play it again, definitely do when it's _actually_ full release.

Repeat after me.. well actually don’t repeat after me just listen to me.. I love senpai yes I do, he’s for me, not for you! I LOVE SENPAI YES I DO! HES FOR ME, NOT FOR YOU!(x108)

But I do indeed guess Mark is the perfect, seductive, attractive, absolute specimen of a man for such a deceptive, secuctive woman. Such an actor of a man Mark is

I like how the different difficulties don’t just change the AI but the entire experience. The whole map and environment changes which not many games will do.

Mark: “praising himself of being so skilled and the way he outsmarted her" And then in the next minute she outsmarts him and kills him. He literally jinxed himself. Edit: OMG i never thought my one small comment will get 1.5k likes. Wel thanks everyone.

I would absolutely love to see Mark attempt this again! Her reactions to what he does are so interesting, it makes me want to see what the other endings are like and how you get them. Better yet, seeing what Mark thinks of them!

14:27 Mark brickshooter is actually a ytber he plays a lot of saiko no sutoka thats why the game devs added that also u shld check him reacting to u saying brickshooter hes awesome ;p

I actually really like the concept of this game, having a stalker enemy that goes between murder mode non-murder mode is really novel, and the ai is surprisingly complex. Would love to see more of this. edit: since this is over 1k likes already, inb4 "don't care didn't ask furry"

33:34 was brutal. I'm typically not phased by jumpscares, but that one got me good... The timing, and the sound/music was just perfect in every sense.

You should definitely play this game again. There are a lot of endings and things that you did not see.

18:22-18:24 I love how Markiplier just quickly runs to the paper, this made me laugh so hard🤣

39:00 Seeing Mark go from unrivaled confidence to sheer terror in a millisecond is the funniest thing in the world.

The intro to Yandere mode really feels like a fever dream with the almost whispering voice acting and blocky walking animation. I don't know if this was intended by the creator but I feel like it adds to the game :)

I loved seeing u play this game it’s crazy how this game popped up in my feed and then I saw that u played it recently plz play more it’s always fun to see u playing games and being you

Would actually like to see more of this! Its an interesting game with how the yandere behaves and all, curious about the other endings too.

I love how Mark's being stabbed multiple times with a knife and he's like "You messed up the puzzle! Now I'm gonna have to start over again!"

Yeah, that AI is really good, makes the game interesting. However, I don't know what stops our protagonist from picking up a chair, and beating little knifey-bloody lady until she's unconscious.

All jokes aside, this is actually a pretty interesting concept. You don't just try to avoid scary monster number 4897 while trying to archive your objective, no, you actually can interact with her, aswell as getting shit on by her when she's pretending to be friendly I'd really like to see more creative ideas like this. It's not something you see every day that's for sure

Whenever I played I always kept her on my back and look for all the keys first and keep note of where they are. It made it a little easier and some what unique and fun to have my killer just vibing on my back while I found stuff.

This game is actually so cool because the monster doesnt just walk up and kill you, making her way more unpredictable

Markiplier: hears screams of pain. Also Markiplier: “it’s probably nothing”

18:51 Mark: where's storage room?? Killer: He y, I know !!

17:00 this scene is poetic. The key represents my dreams, but my blood(lazyness) is covering it because I was stabbed(stress) and then I see the cause of it, my phone

Mark - "Mostly it's me screaming." Story of Mark's entire KZfaq career.

(Cuts off head) "Are you ok?" Yeah! Happens everytime. Don't worry.

"The mooon is beautiful today isnt it?" The same exact thing Im gonna say to my fiance when he proposes to me :)

Please do this again Mark. I wanna see you not only beat one of the normal modes but also try a go at nightmare if it unlocks! This game is so fun to watch you play, especially when you first played the demo.

You love to see Mark revisit the indie games he played from his 3 Scary Games series

“This game feels like when you’re in a horror anime hunted by a crazed anime girl…..” -Markiplier, probably

For those who didn't noticed she was hidden in the Shadows 21:49

I'm so happy that mark plays so many horror games bc I can just look up a cool horror game I found on tiktok and marks probably played it

Mark: *gets stabbed about five times* Also Mark: "I appreciate you, and everything you've done 'till this point!"

Mark: "Why is there an option to push her?" Me: "DOWN THE STAIRS. DOWN THE STAIRS. DOWN THE STAIRS."

I feel like an escape style horror game like this with a monster you can actually interact with to some extent is an untapped niche. It creates a very different tension when you can have a conversation with the threat

Google: Who is the voice actor for saiko no sutoka The answer: *Markiplier*

props to the creator for actually making a game unlike yanderedev’s past 8 years of nothing

It’s not necessarily that she’s saying a lot when she speaks, it’s that she’s speaking unsettlingly slow and quietly Also yes she is saying what English translation reads

At 3:47 I remembered Mark's training in Welcome to the Game 2 and wanted him to LOCK THE DOOR!!!

hi I’m Japanese and the reason why the English translation seems shorter than what she’s actually saying is because I think they are using google translate to make these voice lines and the VA has a very strong accent. It’s not a bad thing it just seems like very very traditional and a bit fakey Japanese that is not used by Japanese school girls even Yanderes. If you covered the subtitles I would’nt understand anything shes saying
