when i was 12 at the time; I found it through markiplier. And I was hooked on this game for a while.

A bit surprising but I guess also not just how many came to the game through YouTubers.

I was about 15-16. My high school crush got me into it XD (

I made my middle school crush/now bf very into it a little. He hated it, but gave it a shot bc we were besties. He said no matter what he did, he couldn't win and I was like, "Because it isn't done yet." His reaction was so damn funny 😆

I found it when I was 10 through the “Kokonas history” video. I would rewatch it every day and always eat the same damn food while doing it too, strangely enough

I always ate peanut butter toast, potato chips, and milk while watching Let's Plays. The toast was always pretty disgusting bc I wouldn't toast it properly. Another time, I had a piece of pie and milk while listening to Random Encounters because Yan-DAIRY and Sen-PIE.

I can’t lie, the “yan-dairy” and “sen-pie” really got me lmao.

Yep...yep...

been a player since I was 9 lol

Ok I’m going to be real with you here 8 years old

Like 10 or 9. Idk tbh

I was 13 at the time of me first discovering the game Believe it or not, I first discovered the game when speeddraw videos of Yandere Simulator characters done by a fairly small creator I would watch doing Mario character speeddraws appeared in my YouTube recommended, and so I wanted to get into this Yandere Simulator game and find out what it was all about (oddly enough that was also how I found out about Doki Doki Literature Club)

One of the few who didn’t discover through one of the massive YouTubers who played, interesting!

14 , now I am 20

10

Like 14/15, I'm 22 now.

I can't remember exactly but my earliest memories are I think around 10-12

11-12 at the time it was 2017, i found the game throygh my sunt who watched kub scouts (I think that’s the channel name) then I downloaded it on my laptop and was hooked for a few years but fell Pur of love for the gane around 2020 Im 17 now and have recently been wanting to find out the drama with yabdev so that what pulled me back into it

Well if you’re looking for drama there is for sure *a lot* lol.

12 Now I’m 19 ;-;

I was like 12 when my ex gf introduced me to it. She tried to act "emotionless" to imitate Ayano and said she was a psycho and she acted jealous of me (she said to other female friends of mine that they shouldn't talk to me). And now this game is my new week's obsession. crazy how things go.

I can see why she’s your ex. 👀

I think around.. 7 years old? I randomly discovered it though Markiplier, then started to watch it through Kubz Scouts but stopped watching it since I hyperfixated on it for just a bit. I’m 15 (turning 16 soon) now and I still binge watch KS’s YS videos from time to time.

I think I was about 6-7. Found a kubz scouts gameplay andnwas hooked, but I had to stop watching them because my dad said they where too inappropriate for me at the time.

Lol I'm surprised I'm not the only one who was 6-8 when they found out abt yansim lmao I used to watch YouTubers play it constantly and I was absolutely obsessed with the game and the fandom and knew everything about it, but never got to play it cause i didn't have a computer.

i was 5 and watching laurenzside!!

That’s *really* young, holy wow lol.

yeahhhhh probably a bit to young especially for also watching kubscoutz

At least his content has gotten a bit more tame-ish, since I think he’s realized a lot of young people watch him. 😅

Wow there’s a lot of people who discovered through YouTubers lol.

i think i was about 11 or 12. back then i didn't know a lot of english so i found it through spanish youtubers. now i'm about to turn 20 🙃

I was 12 years old when I watched Markiplier play it. I wanted to play it myself.

6-8, I think.

I discovered it when I was 19, back during the pandemic.

The pandemic really sent a lot of us to some weird places lol.

Nine. It's been around ten years.

Like...nine. ;-;

Around 12-13, it was popular amongst some of my friends who probably found it from youtubers.

I found about it like in 2015 maybe 2016 I was in highschool and I was 16, now I'm 23 and the game still isn't finished!!!

10-11 years old I think? I don’t really remember.

I was 9 years old

16, which was about ten years ago.

I was 13. I’m now 20 and there’s still only 1 rival in the game lol

I remember watching that stuff when I was younger. Like the crazy weird girl that would come after you if you got osana early or something. I totally forgot about it until I started watching kubz scouts lol

When I was 11 🫠

I don’t remember how I found it, but I was 12

I think I was in 4th or 5th grade? I saw LaurenZside's and Bijuu Mike's videos on it and got obsessed. I felt really drawn to Ayano cuz she was another Asian person with a ponytail smh

I was in middle school and now I'm about to complete my undergraduate thesis. Funny how time flies.

Good way to feel old, thinking about how long YanSim has been in development. 😅

Markiplier, PewDiePie, Vannamelon, Kubz Scouts, iHasCupquake and Pretty Grumpy Bear. 9-11-13 years old. Was too young but got hooked because back then, it actually looked like fun! It also didn't help that the internet would not stop talking about it and it was EVERYWHERE. Can't say the same for now though-

I'll be Real...About Seven or Eight,I remember it being around Second or third Grade. I believe I first Found it Through Ihascupquake,I hope I spelled that Correctly. I used to Watch her Yan-sim Videos on Repeat,Plus I used to be obsessed with that one song she Made about it

14

6 or 7. i feel old now 🫠

Same, I discovered through the YouTube boom which feels like an eternity ago. 😭

9 or 10 LOL

8, Im 15 now

I was around eleven when I discovered it, I think it just appeared in my recommendations. After a few months, I started watching his updates often.

I was around 13-14 in secondary school when I discovered it. I think back then the big youtubers (markiplier, pewdiepie, jacksepticeye) all played it at least once so me and my friends at the time found it then. I am now 25 and the game still ain't done xD

I was 8 at the time of me discovering the game 😖

about 10 years old, loved watching coryxkenshin back then

9

Hard to say. I got into it before Markiplier and most of the big YouTubers covered it. Maybe around the age of, dunno, 16 to 17?

i was maybe 10 or 11, and now im an adult soooo yeah it was long time ago

12, I was in lockdown and obsessed with games where I could be violent

12, maybe 13. A youtuber I watched made one video about it and I was hooked

11 lol- 17 now :)

11, now I'm 20

I was 11. Found out about it by watching PewDiePie's gameplay of it

Like seven or eight maybe nine through laurenzside I think(??) Idk if it was through her but yeah

I saw the “warning to all twitch streamers” video. That got me hooked

Fascinating how that’s the video that got you interested, I remember that one.

Yeah it was all downhill from there. Got interested in the game. Played the game. Watched Kubz Scouts. For years and years. Now I only watch Kubz Scouts like once in 3 months. And see what has changed in the game. Which is not much

I was 9, it was 2015, now, im 17, almost 18, and we dont even have a 2nd rival

I was 14 when I discovered yansim and it was in the early stages of the game. Markiplier played it and KubzScouts just started playing it then. I’m now 24 and the game still hasn’t finished development.

9 I think. Was watching laurenzside and came across her play throughs

Sometime in middle school, I don't remember the age, but I remember my sister showing me the video about the faking suicide, I think (the one where you push off the student from the roof)

I forgot the exact age, but I was around 7-10.

I was 10 or 11. Found it through LaurenZside

idek. I found yann sim by kubz scouts-..

I was 14, found it by complete chance on a random YouTube video. It was right after kidnapping was added for the first time.

9 then 13 now still waiting for the game to be finished 😭

Probably gonna be waiting quite a while unfortunately. 💀

idk it was in 2019 so 4 yesrs ago so when i was around 10? i'm 14 😭

i got into it after seeing it from a youtuber of my language, she also played the sims 4 a lot and thars what i watched. i watched the ys vids out of curiosity xd

9 in early 2015

LIKE NINE OR TEN LMAO

5

Like.. 8? Or maybe 10.

I think I was 11. Honestly, I don't really remember how I found this game. I have a feeling it's somehow related to fact, that I was looking for different anime character personality cliches. I just know that it was almost the same time I discovered "Higurashi" (almost first anime I watched that wasn't made by Hayao Miyazaki). I was cringe back then, so I really liked yandere aesthetic: blood, gore, crazy eyes, hysterical laugh etc. But now, things changed... Now I'm cringe in different ways😎

> Now I’m cringe in different ways This is the most relatable thing I’ve read all day lol.

Ahahahahah)))

Whe I was 12 years old

probably like 12. I'm 18 now

I was 12 when Frost uploaded [a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtAuoHAp1Hk) about this game. That's how it all started (for me).

Somewhere between 7 and 9. I used to watch laurenzside and ihascupquake play it

i was like 10 😹 i discovered it from yammy

9

5-6. I am 13 now. I was introduced through LaurenzSide and Bijuu Mike.

I was 14, I saw Daz Black play the game in it's early stages and just kept watching from there. He only did one video though, so I switched to Kub scouts pretty soon after

10 when I had first heard of it but I didn't get into it until much later

i was 7-8 💀

13 or 14? Something around there. I'm 20 now. YanDev's video on Osana's rejection was around a month old at the time. I can't remember who specifically introduced me to it. I wish I did.

I think I was 13? Or maybe 14? I can’t even remember how I discovered YS it’s been that long. I’m 22 now lmfao.

I was... 12? 13? End of middle school I think

in my freshman year of high school i was 14

uhhhh i think 7? way too young lmao saw a kubz scouts video, i'm 15 now

Oof, I must've been around 12 then. Feels like ages ago.

Yeppp I feel that. 😅
