The game is excellent, I have been following it since the previous versions and I can say that the evolution was incredible. But there is something about saiko's AI in this version that I would like to comment on, it's very easy to get away from it, you just have to lock it in a room and walk away without running so as not to make noise, of course this is necessary to have a way of get rid of it, but even in Hard mode, it was possible to do this process easily, but in general the game is very good, and I look forward to the Yangire mode!
They used to be in the game. I imagine they skipped them in this version (2.0) so they could finish and release it faster as it is a huge update that has taken more time than any previous updates as far as I know. The FAQ on discord says the bathrooms will contain some kind of puzzles at some point, so bathrooms will probably return in 2.1 along with puzzles. That's what I think anyway.
But, you know, it's not like you have time to use a bathroom when a yandere is chasing you anyway lol.
Very simple in its gameplay at the moment but i can tell that if Habupain continues with Saiko's development it could become an even better game that could be up there with some of the best indie horror games. Im rooting for you!
Saiko no sutoka is very cool bro, I was very curious about the yangire difficulty, it seems to me like a version of Saiko in a hood or demon, this difficulty you can put a new weapon for Saiko as a suggestion, like a scythe or a samurai sword, a suggestion for you, each update you make in Saiko no sutoka you could post a mini dev of what the update is you know?
Hello, I've read something about practice mode but I can't access it in the current ver. I've found some secret menu options by pressing the down arrow but no practice mode
Some featured update features(please add features in the next update):
1.multiplayer
2.player change option
3.name change option
4.language changing option(it's only a option about to change talk language)
5.add ghost mode(it also has:saiko chan can't see you,no bloods,lights are already on)
Note:if are not a developer,just a saiko no sutoka gamer then please add more features if I missed some so the developer can make his game cool and we can have fun and play
hey there! just wanted to say that I totally disagree with your suggestions, not trying to be mean. like, sure, your ideas are really creative, but it isn't fitting for a game like this
this woman is actually a yandere, there would be no point in adding a multiplayer mode. even if you're actually playing with an ai, she would obviously just instakill them because, well, she's obsessed with you alone!
player change option, what's the point of doing that if you're in first person? nobody would see that anyway since the game itself is a single-player game
I have no problem with the fourth one, but for your last one, that would make you miss the point of the game itself, this was supposed to be a horror game, the ones you didn't want to be added to your ghost mode suggestion must be there, otherwise, it wouldn't be a horror game any more
im sorry if this comes out as offensive somehow, i really don't intend to be mean or anything

This is a really cool game dev! I saw it around a for a while, but I'm just now getting around to playing it. Saiko chan was giving me a hassle the whole time lol. But it's scary and fun, and I love when games find that balance to it. Didn't make much progress, but I plan on playing it more in the future!
Hello! Been following your game development almost from the beginning and just want to say – I love it, especially the AI. Saiko-chan is so clever... And new two-faced mechanic is very interesting. I know you know how to develop your game futher and I can't wait for new update, but... Alpha 2 Saiko is ちょっとつまらない. Not as hard as she used to be, from the second try I could escape in 2 minutes. In older versions she was smarter. But I hope yangire mode will come out soon and it'll be hard again! Thank you for this funny and competitive game. Once again how smart she is SO COOL, great potential!
Also there's bug with lockers again, but I think you already know.
Also x2 – if you need normal russian translation (for some reason it's not full and has mistakes) I'd love to help!
** You and your team are awesome! I didn't include any critique in my video; it is the original gameplay and commentary, edited to enhance the comedic elements of the session. Very much looking forward to future updates! Discussion is below video **
> Here are some possible glitches/oddities I noticed during gameplay:
1) Handwritten notes read differently from table to pick-up (example @ 5:12)...
2) Saiko's character will sometimes vanish and reappear out of thin air either directly behind or in close proximity of the player (example @ 29:40 and 30:07)...
3) Normal difficulty: admittedly, trying to win the game is made all the more exciting because of how hard it is to hide from Saiko yet still, it does feel at times that Saiko has supernatural abilities of detecting the player any and everywhere...
> A possible future implementation for the game:
1) It would be amazing if there were weapons, tools, or random objects the player could pick up and use to defend themselves rather than resorting to the "run and hide" technique at all times.
2) A mechanic in the game that allows the player to trick or distract Saiko (example: loud school alarm/bell system that incapacitates Saiko temporarily)
> Things I loved about this game:
1) SAIKO'S AI: It's great! Her being regretful and apologetic to the player and gifting them medicine was a great idea; being able to break windows
I'm not the developer, but I have played and experimented with this game a lot. She doesn't vanish and reappear out of thin air. If it feels like it, then it is because she was there to begin with. She is SUPER fast when she is near you and wants to go right behind you. Those 2 seconds you looked away from her? She doesn't waste that opportunity. I have done a lot of experiments on that lol. If you want to prevent her from appearing right behind you, keep an eye out for her at all times.
It may feel like it, but she doesn't have supernatural abilities of detecting the player. If you know how to avoid her, you can. Though I must admit it is more difficult than ever before to avoid her for several minutes when she finds you the first time lol. I kind of hope the developers implement some kind of way to lose her, as she is far more difficult to get rid of now. The "get out of her line of sight then distract her by closing a door somewhere" strategy doesn't seem to work anymore, or at least not as well as it used to.
It's been about a week since I played the game but I have learned a few new things since then, one of them being that the medicine she gives to you while seeming apologetic and sincere is actually poison and the other being that yeah, undeniably, she is SUPER fast. I figured her playful giggling was because she was really close to you without you knowing it. The part around 29:40 is when I seriously thought she vanished but nope, she darted behind me (couldn't even hear her footsteps)!
Hey, I hope you don't mind that I glanced at your profile {◑.◑}
Lire seems very interesting and the fact that it has been in development by one person for the past 3 years is pretty amazing. Should I give it a try?
Actually, the medicine she gives you isn't always poison. It can be 1 of 3 things: poison (like you said), sleeping drugs, and medicine that heals you 25 HP (on hard difficulty, can't rememer if it's more on easy/normal). The poison can obviously kill you, but the other 2 can't. Falling asleep with the sleeping drugs takes you to spawn room (which has been locked) where she is sleeping and you leave by finding the key. She looks cute asleep in my opinion so I recommend trying to get the sleeping drugs just once lol. She wakes up and starts chasing you when you unlock the door with the key. I think I saw someone say the medicine she gives you has a 50% chance of being good, and 50% chance of it being bad, but I don't remember where that was. Maybe it was on discord? Can't remember, but the chance of it being bad isn't ridiculously high judging from my own experience with the game. I forgot to mention this in my previous reply, but don't run after stepping on glass. Wait or walk for a few seconds after stepping away from the glass. Running makes you take A LOT more damage than if you simply walked. It's actually possible to lose as little as 5 HP or so (IIRC) on highest difficulty if you just take it easy instead of rush. Contrary to what seems like popular belief, she is rarely so close to you that you can't afford to walk for a few seconds after stepping on glass rather than run. Running after stepping on it just because you are in the middle of a chase is a super common mistake from what I have seen, and a mistake that I want to end as it can really make one lose the gameplay lol.
I haven't done much with my profile so I hope it didn't bore you lol.
Lire is a pretty good indie horror game but it could use some refinement, though I suppose that is to be expected of a demo. I think you should give it a try. I won't spoil it, but the monster in the final puzzle area gave me major goosebumps I haven't felt since playing the horror game "DreadOut" years ago lol.
I may ask you something and you need to do it fast.today I saw 17 peoples who just quitting saiko no sutoka because you all didn't update the android version.please add those android or else we all will quote saiko no sutoka permanently so please update the android version.my phone is android and I'm using this website from my browser
According what I heard from dev aka (Habupain) his making yandere and yangire this week or next week, but his planning to add ver 2.01 on android next year in january it will include the new mode i think
Wait... You're gonna quit playing a FREE game just because an update didn't come out fast enough? Shame on you. You know you'll download that update as soon as it drops and be here praising it. If 17 people quit, that's 17 people that will be crying every night because they miss Saiko Chan, haha.
I wouldn't expect you to. It usually takes a 3rd grade level of reading comprehension to understand what I'm saying. Which you clearly don't have. I'm sure you'll get there in a few years though.
Dude wtf r u?Like,5?Lol.U're so freaking cringe man.Get a life why don't cha?Oh wait maybe don't,cuz then u'll bore people to death in real life instead of these platforms lol.5yo fortnite playing impatient egotistical kid with a god complex that thinks everything revolves around him and that with enough crying u can get what u want.I bet ur parents spoiled u real good if u can't wait a freaking month to play this game didn't they?Shame that they raised such a spoiled little brat like urself.Go f urself idiot.This excellent developer doesn't need people like u to bore him to death and take all of his energy away,and ours for that matter.Go bother yanderedev to death for that.He already threatened to commit sewerside anyway,and if u keep going this route u will too in a few years if u don't fix urself up.U'll also never get friends with this attitude of yours,but not that anyone needs a friend with ur attitude,so u're gonna die sad,pathetic and alone in ur 4 walls complaining on random gaming platforms and twitch lol.Like,why not do something else in the meantime until it is released,like,play another game,watch youtube,read a book,go outside for a run,jog,or just freaking walk dude.U need to do something,some kind of activity to calm down,instead of focusing on negative thoughts.Focus only on positive ones.Oh who am I kidding?U're beyond saving anyways,based on what u said.Lol.Go die in a fire kid,or by this yandere for that matter,not that any yandere could ever love and be obsessed with a piece of manure like urself lol
Amazing work on this update! I never managed to beat the first release but I was actually able to get both endings here! I love the new cutscene and gameplay, much smoother than before! Also holy crap the jumpscares! Great work!
Hello, I have a doubt .. the character we control is a man or a woman lol I ask it since in the Spanish translation when we die it says (you are dead in feminine) and if you could I would like to know who is the boy whose head at the beginning of the game, it is that it has me intrigued .. greetings
Personally speaking, I have always considered the character you control to be a man due to the clothes and physique, so I think it's a mistake on the Spanish translation team's part, but I suppose it could be a girl who just looks a lot like a guy lol.
You might want to ask those questions on their discord instead of here as answers come faster there from what I have seen.
you should add a feature where if you have done a specific thing then you can take Saiko's knife and she will have to chase you with her fists but she will be slower and you can fight back

Fantastic project with great potential!
But there's one thing I noticed, there are no bathrooms in the school building? How come?
The absence of bathrooms feels strange, could you think of adding them?
Thank you!

You're welcome~
Happy new year dev team.
I beat the hard mode on Saiko no sutoka alpha 2.0.1 version without any damages once again.
Can't wait for YANGIRE mode. :-D
HOW?!
I wasnt ready for this crazy anime school girl 😱 🔪 🩸

portuguese plsssssssssssss
yeah it's a good game the only thing i have to request its the portugueseAfter playing, i think some good changes you need to make are:
One: Make her Weakened Yangire form more obivus so you know shes a instakill.
And Two: Make her only go to the weakened state MUCH longer then 10 mins, as 10 mins is not very much at all.
CHASED BY THE CUTEST YANDERE!
loved the game and it got me many times so well done!

what is the classification for this game? its 12
All Dead Scenes
please put a multiplayer option please please
do you consider adding a multiplayer option? maybe also add another yandere and both players have to run away from them
I finally managed it!
I beat the hard mode without any damages on Saiko no sutoka alpha 2.0.1 version.
Unlike the previous video i posted here, Saiko-chan didn't stuck in the doors of the library. lol
What just happened to the mobile version
What is the yangire and yandere update release date lmao
Hello developers,
I may ask you something and you need to do it fast.today I saw 17 peoples who just quitting saiko no sutoka because you all didn't update the android version.please add those android or else we all will quote saiko no sutoka permanently so please update the android version.my phone is android and I'm using this website from my browser

Just shut the fuck up.im waiting for a android update
Dude wtf r u?Like,5?Lol.U're so freaking cringe man.Get a life why don't cha?Oh wait maybe don't,cuz then u'll bore people to death in real life instead of these platforms lol.5yo fortnite playing impatient egotistical kid with a god complex that thinks everything revolves around him and that with enough crying u can get what u want.I bet ur parents spoiled u real good if u can't wait a freaking month to play this game didn't they?Shame that they raised such a spoiled little brat like urself.Go f urself idiot.This excellent developer doesn't need people like u to bore him to death and take all of his energy away,and ours for that matter.Go bother yanderedev to death for that.He already threatened to commit sewerside anyway,and if u keep going this route u will too in a few years if u don't fix urself up.U'll also never get friends with this attitude of yours,but not that anyone needs a friend with ur attitude,so u're gonna die sad,pathetic and alone in ur 4 walls complaining on random gaming platforms and twitch lol.Like,why not do something else in the meantime until it is released,like,play another game,watch youtube,read a book,go outside for a run,jog,or just freaking walk dude.U need to do something,some kind of activity to calm down,instead of focusing on negative thoughts.Focus only on positive ones.Oh who am I kidding?U're beyond saving anyways,based on what u said.Lol.Go die in a fire kid,or by this yandere for that matter,not that any yandere could ever love and be obsessed with a piece of manure like urself lol
... go eat some snickers dude...
It would be fun if we could hide under the tables!
Otherwise good alpha I like the concept.
Funny enough, I was thinking the exact same thing LOL.
Hello, I have a doubt .. the character we control is a man or a woman lol I ask it since in the Spanish translation when we die it says (you are dead in feminine) and if you could I would like to know who is the boy whose head at the beginning of the game, it is that it has me intrigued .. greetings

I loved this update
and I loved her ''friendly'' personality
this is one of the best horro game i ve played. i wish i could finish the game tho ... looking forward to future updates . Def recommended
There is an issue with Turkish translation. It should say "Türkçe" in language selection not "Türkiye".
Thanks for making a great game!
I've enjoyed Saiko no sutoka alpha 2.0.1 and it's fantastic!
But, i should report a bug that is accidently found when i was trying to beat hard mode without any damages.
I closed the door of the library at 08:50 ~ 08:55 to earn some time to escape from Saiko-chan.
When i visited the main hall of 2nd floor again at 14:50, i've noticed that she was stuck in the door.
Hope this helps :-D.
you should add a feature where if you have done a specific thing then you can take Saiko's knife and she will have to chase you with her fists but she will be slower and you can fight back
