How much you wanna bet that this character's mannerisms and acting direction are based off of anime tropes instead of the creators drawing from real life people? For instance, stop me if you've seen this exact thing before in anime:

Sounds great. I'm hoping for an Asia/English language release. We never got one for the last girl.

Yeah, you would have to literally gouge your eyes out to not see that this is basically borrowing the anime aesthetic wholesale.
Those are not anime specific, you get the same tropes in almost every Japanese piece of media. Movies / TV Series with real actor included.
People really need to stop calling anime everything from Japan.

In the context of video games. How often do games from Japan have influences from live action tv shows or films over anime? I mean....this is Bandai Namco Studios we're talking about here. The same one who's portfolio includes this:
Think it's quite clear where they get their influences....
You could say the same thing about GTA & Call of Duty , you feel like games about looking at women is trash but some people feel the same way about games about killing people.

Okay the way she smiled while she was stabbing was kind of scary.

If you took the sword part outta this gif it would be interpreted waaaay differently.

There's genuinely lots of money to be made from a VR game that is lowkey directly inspired by Hard Candy but advertised like Summer Lesson is.

She's cute. I'd let her stab me in the kidney a couple of times.

Basically just sadistic. Wasn't even sure it was a thing until I googled it. lol
Yanderes don't neceesarily enjoy inflicting pain and such, they're just willing to do so to go along with their possessiveness.

Yes you can, what are you talking about?

That look people give you when you pass gas in an elevator.

That extreme head tilt is specifically a Shaft signature style, not anime in general. (People do tilt/turn their had in real life too)
I think it is just a term came up with by English speaking anime fans, I have never heard of that particular -dere. One commonly used word for sadistic is ドS (doesu) meaning something like "totally sadistic"　http://www.weblio.jp/content/ドS
