Killer Chat: Dark Web Dating Sim Now FREE on Steam
Dive into the unsettling depths of digital romance as "Killer Chat," the unique dark web dating simulator, officially launches as a free-to-play title on Steam. First appearing on Itch.io, this narrative-driven experience, released on November 28, 2025, challenges players to navigate a dangerous online world where survival and romance intertwine with chilling consequences.
Unveiling the Dark Digital Premise
In "Killer Chat," players assume the role of a reporter embarking on a perilous research project for a book about serial killers. A misguided search online leads to an accidental entry into a clandestine dark web chatroom, teeming with individuals whose interests lean towards the macabre. To gather information and, crucially, ensure their own safety, players must adopt the persona of an "embryonic Hannibal Lecter," forging connections and engaging in unsettling conversations with users, including one known as "goreboy." The game explores the delicate balance between investigation and the potential for romantic entanglements with these dangerous personalities.
Engaging Narrative and Multiple Paths
The core gameplay unfolds over six in-game months, presenting players with a series of interactions via text and videocall. You'll encounter a diverse cast of "extremely pretty anime murderers," each with their own dark allure. The base "Original" edition of "Killer Chat" features eight distinct endings, offering a spectrum of outcomes that range from the character's untimely demise to calling the authorities, or even a transformation into a killer themselves. Each narrative path is designed to take approximately 2-3 hours to complete, providing 9-12 hours of total gameplay for those committed to exploring every facet of its unsettling world.
Accessible Gameplay and Forthcoming Content
The base "Original" edition of "Killer Chat" is entirely free on Steam, a result of its successful crowdfunding campaign. This accessibility allows a wide audience to experience its unique blend of dating sim mechanics and psychological thriller elements. For players hungry for more, the developers have plans for various DLC packs and a forthcoming expanded edition. This future content promises to significantly deepen the experience, offering "at least double the words" and expanding the narrative possibilities to "over 20 possible endings," ensuring even more twists and turns for those brave enough to continue their dark web dalliances.
