Friend shared an article about Yandere Simulator having an exodus of people after it was confirmed that Alex was sending sexual messages to a 16 year old and was grooming her. In his apology he uses her as a shield stating that since she saw nothing wrong that it's sorta not his fault. He also donated 1000 to an abuse charity and said he made a fuck-up.

      The player controls Ayano Aishi (nicknamed Yandere-chan), an apathetic Japanese high school girl who has developed a crush on Taro Yamada, a fellow student often referred to as "Senpai". Over the course of ten weeks, a different girl will fall in love with Taro, becoming a target for Ayano to eliminate. The player has the ability to kidnap, torture, poison, electrocute, matchmake, befriend, betray, and drown rivals, befriend other schoolgirls, play small mini games, access a street where the player can earn money by playing a maid cafe minigame, spend money at shops to buy different types of items, and more.
