About How to Break Up with Your Yandere Boyfriend
You have nothing but a job you constantly complain about, a few old friends, weak family ties, and a pile of trauma and debt from failed relationships.
And then there’s Soren, your perfect boyfriend.
An ordinary guy with a dog, a remote job, and weekends spent between bad movies and you. No surprises, no drama. Just… life.
But lately, you’re not sure you can love him the way he deserves. So you’ve made up your mind: it’s time to end things.
Then, as if fate is testing you, Soren invites you over for dinner, giving you the perfect opportunity to break his heart.
Will you go through with it? Or is Soren not as ordinary as he seems… and is life about to throw you one last, terrifying curveball?

Why Would Anyone Break Up With This Man?!
⚠ WARNING: You will not want to break up with Soren after playing this game. ⚠
I will admit I was (yes, past tense) a self proclaimed yandere hater. I just didn’t get the appeal of romancing a man that shows his love by locking you in a cage. I’m NOT into confinement…not my kink. To this day I am still pissed at being locked in a dog cage by Toma in Amnesia Memories, and it’s been over 10 years since I played that man’s route. But, as they say, “time heals all wounds” and over the years I have played many more yandere games and I can honestly say—I kinda get it now.
There’s just something really hot about a person who is so in love with you to the point of obsession. Devotion is second only to consent on the sexy scale. AND you can’t go wrong with a partner who will do anything for you, even eliminating your enemies. Now that, is true love. Of course, I wouldn’t want a psycho BF in real life, for obvious reasons, but in a game there is something cozy about a partner who is as devoted as a yandere.
So, that’s where my head was at going into How to Break Up with My Yandere Boyfriend—where the premise is you have to break up with your seemingly too good to be true boyfriend. Not gonna lie, Soren has all the hallmarks of a perfect partner. He’s loyal, handsome, has a good job; the man is the perfect package. And that’s kind of the problem, Soren is too good to be true. Especially when you’re a hot mess with nothing to offer him… So, instead of waiting for him to come to his senses and dump you first, you decide to beat him to the punch.
And a quiet dinner at his place is the perfect time to end things. But, when you arrive at his house and spend time with him, you start remembering all the good times and your resolve wavers. That is until you start to notice some “odd” things around the house that make question whether Soren is the boring perfect guy you thought he was. Stuff like his antique knife collection and the refrigerator full of unmarked meat… maybe Mr. Perfect has some skeletons in his closet…
On top of that your fine AF piece of shit actor ex, Lars, starts sniffing around again and he claims to have done some soul searching since your break up. He also hints that he knows some things about Soren that’ll change how you see him. But given his your history, you’re not sure if he’s telling the truth or if he’s just looking to cause drama in your current relationship. Though given the weird stuff you discover in Soren’s house, maybe Lars is onto something. 🤔
The whole demo takes place over an entire evening at Soren’s place. He pretty much gives you free reign to snoop through his things while he works on dinner in the kitchen. Or if you’re totally not trying to break up with Soren, you can get to know him better by helping him prep dinner.
Early on I noticed that there is a determination meter that gauges how open your character is to manipulation. Which you would think would be concerning, but given how loving and understanding Soren is to the MC, it’s easy to dismiss most (read: all) of the red flags you uncover along the way. The only real strike against Soren is his evil gremlin of a dog, Princess… that thing is a menace.
Honestly, the true villain of the game, as of right now, is the MC. Her insecurities and self doubt often get in the way her own self interests. Like, she wants to break up with Soren, not because he has done anything untoward. But because he’s too perfect and she feels like she doesn’t deserve to be loved by a good man. We know there is something off about Soren, but she doesn’t. So her attempts to break things off with him are kind of hard to relate to. Because, that’s a good man Savannah… a good man.
On the flip side, she is more than happy to entertain her ex, Lars despite knowing the man is trash, because that’s what she thinks she deserves. Seriously, the MC takes delulu to new heights in this game, but as frustrating as she can be, there’s something endearing about her all the same. We can all admit to being a hot mess every now and again, and I do love a flawed protagonist.
Is How to Break Up With Your Yandere Boyfriend Worth Playing?
Overall, I had a lot of fun playing How to Break Up With Your Yandere Boyfriend. The MC is perfectly imperfect and Soren is literally perfect, no notes… so what if the man has some weird meat in his fridge and collection of knives, he treats you with respect and absolutely adores you—that’s the biggest green flag if I ever saw one! Trust me when I say after spending 5 seconds with Soren you will NOT want to break up with him! Soren is the yandere gold standard! So if you’re looking for a new yandere to woo, you’ll definitely want to check out HTBUWYYB!
There are two endings to get in the demo and the devs really make you work for one of them (thank god they released a guide, because I was failing to get Neutral end C).
