Keyword search of the
US Copyright Office public records. This is in alphabetical order, and I used the keyword "video game" for this one. Searching for the game's title comes up with nothing either. Using Yandere as a keyword came up with nothing for Yandere Simulator, the game doesn't come up if you search for copyrights by Alex Mahan, Yanderedev, or EvaXephon either. In US copyright law this doesn't mean he couldn't take someone to court and win if they came out with a game called Yandere Simulator, rather it means he'd actually have to pay a lawyer and go to court to provide evidence. With a copyright on the project he'd be skipping a lot of the process as that is the first place they'd check to see if someone stole his intellectual property.

For posterity in case he ever does get a copy right I just want it known that he didn't have one now

Even did an advance search with a wide criteria to see if those worked:
