Students will have three gossiping periods each day: before morning classes, during lunch time, and after they go home using social media. Currently, reputation will increase or decrease during gossiping periods, depending on Ayano's previous actions around other students. YandereDev plans to add more to the feature, such as having students let their guard down around Ayano when her reputation is high, and being nervous around her when it is low.
The reputation meter can currently be found on the bottom-left of the HUD. Reputation is a key element in Yandere Simulator that determines what types of interactions Ayano Aishi can have with other students.
