Sprunki Retake

About Sprunki - You Love Me: The Obsession Begins

In the diverse world of Incredibox mods, themes usually range from upbeat techno to apocalyptic horror. But Sprunki - You Love Me (often referred to by fans simply as the Sprunki Yandere Mod) introduces a new kind of fear: the terror of unwanted, overwhelming affection.

This mod has taken the community by storm, not because of jump scares or gore, but because of its psychological intensity. It transforms the familiar, rhythmic gameplay into a trapped simulation where the characters aren't just making music—they are watching you, loving you, and refusing to let you leave. This guide will explore the disturbing lore, the unique "obsession" mechanics, and the secrets hidden behind the pink, heart-filled interface.

The Lore: "We Are Happy Together, Forever"

The narrative of Sprunki - You Love Me is a dark twist on the "Phase 1" innocence. In standard lore, the characters are friends making music. In this mod, the reality is warped by a singular, obsessive force.

The Delusion

The game takes place in a "Perfect World" created by a glitch or a specific character (often depicted as Simon or Wenda depending on the version). This entity believes that the Player (you) is their soulmate. The "Horror" isn't that they want to kill you; it's that they want to keep you.

  • The Glitch: The world is too bright. The colors are pastel pinks and soft whites. But if you stop the music, the facade cracks. Text boxes appear with messages like "Why did you stop?" or "Don't you love the sound of us?"
  • The Rejection: The central conflict in the lore is the Player's attempt to close the game or mute the characters. The mod tracks your cursor. Attempting to leave triggers "Panic" states in the characters, not of fear, but of desperate separation anxiety.

Gameplay Mechanics: The Rhythm of Captivity

Sprunki - You Love Me plays differently from standard mods. The goal isn't just to make a good beat; it's to placate the characters to prevent them from "snapping."

The Affection Meter

Instead of a "Danger" or "Infection" meter, this mod often features a hidden "Love Meter."

  • Creating Harmony: Placing characters in compatible pairs (like Orange and Pinki) creates "Harmonious" loops that keep the screen bright and stable.
  • Creating Dissonance: If you create a chaotic mix or mute the "Lead" character (usually the Yandere figure), the screen darkens. The music distorts, slowing down into a low, threatening drone.

The "No Escape" Feature

A signature mechanic of Sprunki - You Love Me is the UI tampering.

  • The Reset Button: In many versions, clicking the "Reset" button doesn't clear the board. Instead, the characters shake their heads or a text box appears saying "We just started."
  • The Cursor Magnet: When you try to move your mouse to the "X" to close the tab, the characters' eyes follow the cursor aggressively. In some interactive versions, the cursor is physically pulled back to the center of the screen.

Character Guide: The Lovers and The Trapped

The cast of Sprunki - You Love Me is familiar, but their personalities are rewritten to fit the "Romance Horror" archetype.

Simon (The Yandere)

  • Status: Obsessed / The Controller
  • Role: Lead Melody
  • Details: Simon is often the antagonist of this mod. He wears soft expressions that turn manic if ignored. His melody is sweet but repetitive, hypnotic in nature. He is the one who "locks" the game.

Wenda (The Enabler)

  • Status: Devoted
  • Role: Vocals
  • Details: Unlike her usual horror counterparts, this version of Wenda is blissfully unaware of the creepy atmosphere. She sings "Love" lyrics that, when reversed or slowed down, sound like pleading.

Oren (The Victim)

  • Status: Nervous
  • Role: Beats
  • Details: Oren represents the player's fear. While other characters smile, Oren sweats. His beatboxing is frantic. If you mute everyone else and leave Oren alone, he might whisper "Help me" or "Run" before the others fade back in.

Pinki (The Rival)

  • Status: Jealous
  • Role: High Vocals
  • Details: In the lore of this mod, Pinki often vies for the player's attention. If you place her next to Simon, the audio becomes chaotic as they "fight" for dominance in the mix, symbolizing a jealous lover's quarrel.

Finding Similar Experiences

The "Yandere" or psychological horror theme is a growing niche within the Sprunki community. Players enjoy the shift from physical monsters to emotional threats. If you are fascinated by mods that change the personalities of the characters or introduce complex relationship dynamics (whether romantic or deadly), you should explore the broader Sprunki Mods category. This section contains various character-driven mods that experiment with dialogue and narrative in ways similar to You Love Me.

Community Trends: The "Love" Viral Wave

The Sprunki - You Love Me phenomenon has generated a specific type of content on social media:

  • Roleplay ASMR: Content creators use the mod's sound effects to create "Yandere Sprunki Comforts You" videos, which are as unsettling as they sound.
  • "Can You Break Up?" Challenges: Streamers attempt to find the "Bad Ending" where the characters finally reject the player. This usually involves playing the most discordant, awful noise possible until the game "crashes" in disgust.
  • Fan Art: The aesthetic of the mod (pastels mixed with glitch horror) has inspired a wave of fan art depicting Simon or Wenda holding a "Player" avatar hostage.

Tips for the "True" Ending

While the game is designed to be a loop, there are rumors of a way to break it.

  1. The Silent Treatment: Try muting all characters but leaving them on stage. Stare at them without sound for a full minute. In some versions, this triggers the "Bored" event where they leave voluntarily.
  2. The Dissonant Chord: Place Oren, Raddy, and Mr. Fun Computer together. Their clashing styles can sometimes overload the "Love Meter," causing the simulation to break and revealing the true, dark background hidden behind the pink wallpaper.
  3. Don't Click the Heart: If a heart icon appears floating on the screen, do not click it. Clicking it usually cements your "commitment" to the game, removing the UI entirely and trapping you in the loop forever (until you refresh the page).

Conclusion

Sprunki - You Love Me is a masterclass in uncomfortable horror. It takes the inherent intimacy of the Incredibox mechanic—where you directly control the characters—and twists it. It makes you question who is really in control: the conductor, or the choir?

Whether you are looking for a unique Valentine's Day scare or just want to see how deep the Sprunki lore rabbit hole goes, this mod offers an experience that sticks with you. Just be careful; once you start playing, they might not let you stop.
