Returning to her hometown after dropping out of university in her final year, Asher is at a pretty low point in her life- her whole family is ashamed of her failure and her former college friends have no time for her at all. Everything just feels like it isn't going right- that is, until she reconnects with her cheerful and energetic childhood friend Ellie, a sweet and fun-loving girl who seems like just about the only person in the world who is happy to see her. 

But... it's been a really, really long time since Asher's been home. A really long time. And she's about to find out that Ellie has changed in ways she couldn't possibly have imagined.

The Cute Girl Next Door Wants to Chain Me Up and Keep Me Prisoner! is a short yandere-themed yuri/girls' love visual novel about love, friendship and cute girls being captured and imprisoned by cute girls.

The Cute Girl Next Door Wants to Chain Me Up and Keep Me Prisoner! is a short yandere yuri story made for Yandere Jam 2025

Moving back to her sleepy little hometown after flunking out of college wasn't necessarily a life choice Asher made intentionally, but it isn't all bad- at least there's a super-cute and cheerful childhood friend there who's disturbingly eager to hang out!


Cheerful, athletic and full of energy, Ellie is pretty much the perfect BFF.  It's been a few years since she and Asher last spoke, but no amount of distance or time can get in the way of true love!~
