Yayan seems to be a smart individual. As stated by Shelly, he is a "know-it-all," which is a slang term for smart people. Despite this, he seems to have a mischievous side as well, wrestling with Doni at the beginning of the game and even going inside the abandoned high school out of curiosity, though failing to make it out. Shelly has stated that he was slightly perverted, due to the fact of his statement made towards her: if she became a ghost and still retained her appearance, he wouldn't mind.

Due to his comical nature, Yayan often provides comic relief in Act I before his disappearance.

DreadOut[]

Act I[]

At the beginning of the game, he is seen wrestling in the back of the car with Doni, but after noticing the road getting bumpy, he inquires Ms. Siska if they were going the correct direction. When coming to the huge road block, he ponders out loud what could of caused the bridge to collapse. After Doni clears the bushes, he goes to the village. If the player decides to go wait a little in front of the village entrance, the group will have a brief conversation about the village's eerie atmosphere.

After arriving at the entrance of the abandoned school, he will ask Linda and Ira if they want to go inside the school with them, but they refuse. When Linda and Ira goes to check on the party that went inside, Ms. Siska realizes that Yayan is missing. They go back inside to search for him, but are unsuccessful due to the fact that the group, except Linda, go missing after the darkness envelops the school.

Act II[]

Yayan is never seen or found again.

In the non-canon ending, Yayan can heard comically calling from a bathroom stall. He somehow trapped himself in there and the ending ends there. It is unknown whether or not this is what canonically Yayan's fate was.

DreadOut 2[]

Prologue[]

As Yayan did not physically return home, he was presumed to have died alongside Ira, Shelly, Doni, and Ms. Siska. His portrait can be seen alongside his other missing classmates and teacher. He seemed to have been well loved by his classmates as they started harboring blamed and hatred forwards Linda for being the one responsible for their 'deaths'.

Act 1[]

Yayan briefly appears in a hallucination seen by Linda. She sees him happily smiling and having fun with Ms. Siska, who is teaching them. In the next segment, where all the others appear dead, Yayan is nowhere to be seen.

Relationships[]

Shelly[]

Shelly usually gets annoyed by Yayan's know-it-all attitude and antics, as well as the fact that Yayan finds joy in teasing her. Similarly, Yayan finds her perkiness and prissy, yet sparky attitude annoying. Despite this, Shelly showed some concern when Yayan fails to make it out of the school, as she tries to call his cell phone to find his whereabouts. Yayan had teased her by saying the 'perky one' dies first and that if she became a ghost, he wouldn't mind, implying that Yayan might think that she is attractive.

Doni[]

As the only other boy of the group, Yayan and Doni act like good friends and have a healthy relationship. They were seen play-wrestling each other in the car at the beginning of the game.

Ms. Siska[]

Even prior to the stopping of the car, Yayan seemed concerned as per the route that Ms. Siska decided to take, asking her, "Are you sure this is the right way, ma'am?". It seems that Yayan seems to feel like his intelligence might be superior to her's. Ms. Siska shown great concern when Yayan goes missing after entering the school. Overall, they seem to have a friendly relationship, though Yayan appears to feel a little less trusting towards her.

Trivia[]

  • Yayan is the first one to disappear during the DreadOut (he disappears after entering the school alongside Ms. Siska, Shelly, and Doni) and is never seen again.
  • Like Doni, Yayan seems a little too old to be a high school student at age 19, when the average age for a high school student to graduate is 18. It is possible that he was held back a class, but considering his high intelligence, it seems unlikely.
  • Out of his friends, Yayan is the only character who has a rather ambiguous fate. If the ending where it is revealed that he is actually stuck inside the bathroom is considered canon, then it's possible for him to be alive if he managed to open the stall door. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards; however, most of the community considers him to have passed away soon after.
  • Dreadout: The Untolds shows that Yayan was let out of the women's bathroom by the Principal, after which the two have a short humorous conversation arguing about what the two of them are doing inside the women's bathroom, after which Yayan runs away from the Principal. Oddly, the Principal's appearance and behavior are more human-like than when Linda encounters him, and the comic possibly implies that Yayan was somehow transported to the school in the year 1985.
  • It is not known what happen to Yayan after the events of the first Dreadout series, he had managed to escaped away from the abandoned building when the door knob fell off from the bathroom stall as the scene ending had cut off in dark, as Yayan was shown not to be dead,many fans believed to left his own and did not return to his previous school along with Linda, although this might be true that Yayan is now gone to a different place and enrolled at a new school, but his ultimate fate remains unknown since Yayan doesn't appear in the Dreadout 2 but only in a hallucination. It is possible that Yayan is still alive and had moved away from Linda's town, as he has not been heard from anyone in his previous school as the students think he is dead along with Linda's friends.
