#snap mode

I realized something:

Ayano killing herself in snap mode is the same/similar thing to the mindslave. So technically we’ve always had the mechanics of snap mode, we just couldn’t do it ourselves.

Credit to the Ayano screenshot to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyq6mzi0wFk since they did snap mode in camera mode. (Wanted a clear picture as opposed to it in red.)

Now I realize why no one said anything bad about snap mode since we’ve technically seen it in the game already.

Also my editing skills are shit since I did this using snapchat I tried using SV to edit the photo, but it was pretty bad quality.

Oh wow it’s been some time. Sorry guys, I don’t play Yandere Sim anymore and tbh I really don’t have much of an interest in it anymore. (I only really watch Let’s Plays to see if Osana has been finally implemented.) I’m currently watching the video about snap mode and honestly it wasn’t worth the 5 year wait. Also, sorry for how long this is, it’s honestly insane. 

Trigger warning: Suicide. (If other triggers need to be here, let me know, I’m tagging this as much as I can with a TW)

If you haven’t seen the video, or don’t want to watch the video, I will sum up what happens because honestly I don’t think this should’ve been implemented as much as it is. (I also won’t use screenshots because I honestly am appalled by how this actually is.) 

Snap mode at the moment can be activated when you get an ending screen because of Senpai, after that you click snap. Everything goes red and your objective is to get a knife to kill Senpai, and then you’ll be told to kill yourself in the game with prompts screaming at you to “do it” multiple times. You have to smash the button because “it takes a lot of will power to want to kill yourself”. (His words not mine.)

If you don’t immediately kill Senpai, you are able to kill your classmates, the more you do the faster the screen goes. All your classmates just stand there and wait for their deaths.

If you waste too much time trying to kill Senpai, the cutscene will play automatically. If you don’t smash the button to kill yourself, it’ll go slowly and automatically kill your character. 

Yandere Dev also plans to have multiple snap features for other ending screens as well. 

Here’s my problems with it: And I know someone is going to say, “You’re not even interested in the game anymore, why do you care?” Because, snap mode is potentially triggering to people. I haven’t seen anyone on here, yet, talk about how bad this feature is to someone playing it. 

Say you’re using video games as a way to escape from RL, imagine that you’re someone who has mental issues and use video games as a way to not want to kill yourself. (Even if said game involves you killing people.) 

The way snap mode is presented is honestly a big issue, especially how Yandere Dev describes it. Telling someone ‘it takes a lot of willpower to kill yourself’ seems like it’s glorifying suicide. Also this whole snap mode is because Ayano is broken inside because Senpai won’t love her. It’s telling the players that if no one loves you to just kill yourself. 

If this came out years ago, I honestly can’t say if this game would’ve worsened my mental health or not. I’ve seen 13RW, and the Heathers Reboot and both of those shows made me worse since I was going through mental heath shit back then. 

I’ve seen everyone praising snap mode for finally being here, but they all went after Yandere Dev when he wanted us to kill a kitten. Where are you guys now when this is an actual issue? We don’t need games glorifying suicide, ESPECIALLY, when we have a pandemic going on and a shit ton of those people are stuck at home and CAN’T leave their house as a distraction. There were other ways to implement this mode without triggering anyone who’s suicidal or hell even self harm. 

“Omg it’s just a game, you’re triggered for no reason.” 

Anything can be a trigger, and harmful to your mental health. Especially when you have no warning about what it is. 

If anyone agrees or disagrees, feel free to reply, but keep it civil and not hateful.
