Killer Chat

Killer Chat is a narrative simulation game that takes place inside a private online chatroom. The player assumes the role of a writer who joins this server to collect material for a story but soon realizes that its members are not ordinary users — they are connected by acts of violence. The entire game unfolds through digital communication: text messages, chat threads, and video interactions. There are no physical environments to explore; everything happens on screen through dialogue and interface. The atmosphere is defined by the uncertainty of who to trust and how to navigate conversations that could expose your identity.

Gameplay and Core Systems

The design of Killer Chat focuses on decision-making and observation rather than direct action. The player interacts by choosing dialogue options and maintaining a believable persona.
Key gameplay components include:

·         Creating a character profile that determines how other users perceive you.

·         Selecting responses in real-time chat sequences to maintain or lose credibility.

·         Tracking relationships with multiple chatroom members, each with different levels of suspicion.

·         Unlocking new routes and endings based on accumulated choices.
The player’s survival depends on communication management — what you say, when you say it, and to whom. A single misstep in tone or content can completely alter the outcome.

Routes and Narrative Development

Each playthrough of Killer Chat follows a different path depending on who the player interacts with most. Some routes focus on cooperation, while others lead to confrontation or exposure. Each character in the chatroom hides a personal agenda, and understanding their behavior is essential for reaching the end of the story. Over multiple runs, the player learns how to interpret subtle cues and manipulate dialogue flow. The narrative’s structure rewards patience and experimentation rather than immediate success, encouraging repeated sessions to uncover alternative outcomes.

Interface and Technical Layout

The interface of Killer Chat replicates a modern messaging platform. The main screen displays active conversations, profile pictures, and live notifications. The player can switch between chats, respond to multiple participants, or initiate private messages. Occasional video calls and voice prompts simulate the unpredictability of real digital communication. A small set of menus allows saving progress, reviewing previous logs, and adjusting message speed. The design uses minimal graphics to maintain clarity and focus on text interaction, keeping all attention on the player’s communication strategy.
