Perfect Love
A downloadable Love for Windows, macOS, and Linux
If no one could give you the love you craved... Then you would create someone who could. Wouldn't that be fun?
You were always obsessed with a specific love... not one advertised in romance novels or movies, but a love that consumes and corrupts... One of obsession and possession. No matter what you did, you could never find that love...
So you decided... why not make this perfect love instead?
A game that was suppose to be made for the Yandere Jam 2023, but I didn't have enough time to finish, so now it will be submitted for the Stained Red Yandere Jam.
There was nothing more you wanted than a perfect love. You tried time and time again to find this love, but it was all for naught- no one was close enough to this perfect love you created. So you decided... why not make them instead?
While walking around on campus, you notice someone being bullied... Milo Change - a student in one of the classes that you attended. Meek, obedient, gullible and most importantly, seemed to have a crush on you.
Don't worry Milo...you'll be made into what you were meant to be.
- A customisable MC (name and pronouns)
- Customizable Nickname for you and Milo
- 1 Love Interest that can be changed into two different yandere forms
- Choices that not only change the appearance and personality of Milo but of the game UI itself
- Nice haunting music
- Greyscale Color Scheme
- Line Boil Animation
- 8 Endings (and one True Ending)
- 100+ Mini Cgs
- 8 CGs (and a CG gallery)
- Easter Eggs to other yandere vns and characters through both naming the MC and choosing their nickname
- Milo and Co make cute noises thematic to their characters
- You get to be mean and evil
- Hidden Secrets

can we have like a spin off where he got absolutely adored as he deserves? ;-; my heart hurt the whole game to see him got throw over and over again like...I want to give him lots of hugs and all..
MC is scary tbh..but how can I stop when Milo is only here.. I love yandere and it's like a dream come true if you know what I mean..but.. how can I? he look so adorable!! and his characteristics is so fluffy
i made an account just to comment because i genuinely LOVE this game, i barely found out about it like 5 days ago and i already got all of the endings in a short time
i really love the story and everything about this game, and milo has officially become another of my favourite characters, i love him SOOO much and my gallery is full of photos of milo now :3
in general, i absolutely love everything about this game and if im honest, eris is crazy to enjoy what milo does to them in every ending, lol
but still, i think this game's amazing, fantastic, awesome, cool, beautiful and wonderful!!! (i will never get tired of this game)
i also feel rly bad for milo while seeing how the mc treats them, he doesnt deserve that ;( he deserves all the hugs in the world!! i suffered seeing him get treated like that aa
and last thing, theres not enough content of himmm, and it hurts, i search milo up anywhere and i barely get anything D:
I LOVE MILO!!! >:3
OMGosh!!! I'm still working on the video but I have to say that this is already one of my favorite VNs! I'm blown away by the amount of detail and the whole beautifully chaotic nature of the art! Like the detail of Milo getting little accessories as the story progresses and even a whole different look depending on the path. All the little dog/cat sounds are so cute with a huge variety, not just the same few sounds over and over (kitty Milo is my fav). I loved all the little sounds added to the choices and even the sounds added to the endings, just so much detail and work was put into this!!
I love how insane the MC is too! While I like me a good yandere it is a good look at a person whose obsessed with being obsessed over and how toxic that relationship can be, a very welcome moral that I rarely see! (plus I love the MCs pretty squiggly hair and how chaotic but also ethereal it makes them). I think both characters take the award for the most twisted characters I've come across in a VN and a lot of twists left me utterly speechless!
I adore the monochrome artstyle and how adding even a little color makes everything so much more impactful (and scary!!), it's very unique and eye catching!
I'm already into probably 3 hours of recording and this is one game that I'm happy to just keep playing, like I'm excited to see what happens in the next endings ! And also THANK YOU SO MUCH for the little easter egg about Ashton!!! I'm so very flattered!
I'M SPEECHLESS. I HAVE NO WORDS AT ALL. I have no words. I just--
the title of this novel perfectly captures the essence of how I feel after going through it. i don't want to sound weird, but I'm on some kind of constant search for THE ONE, IDEAL visual novel with a yandere theme. one that will make me FEEL THAT THING, feel love and attachment
many, many, if not all novels with this theme cannot satisfy my hunger. i want reciprocity, i want vivid affection, i want mutual dependence, i want the love that yandere can provide (not in reality, ok? it's unhealthy ! we are talking about virtual world and stories). i want my character to be someone else's world, BUT i want them to be my character's world too! for some reason everywhere this is never fully revealed, I don't see love or affection for some reason
you know, I get the feeling that no one can describe mutual dependence perfectly. nowhere have I seen such an attachment, mutual and acute, where everything is focused on the two of you
the two of you. just the two of you, your shared madness, bright and all-consuming. where you express this attachment with actions, not just a couple of insignificant thoughts or phrases in a dialog
I need it, twisted and unhealthy, so that I feel it in the story, so that it consumes me and I consume it in return
but I also want care, I want protection, I want to see it all bloom in the story before my eyes
and you know, I just said all that to say that your visual novel is the closest thing to MY perfection that I've ever seen. I devoured all the endings in a very quick time and got full for the first time in a long time. i'm still searching, but i know that even if i don't find something perfect (which is impossible, i guess) - i'll always have that place created by your hands, that most innermost and twisted thing that resonated inside of me
of course I don't approve and don't like of some of the endings, some were very sad, some were frightening, but there were some that just...satisfied my hunger for a while, I guess?
i don't mean to sound pompous and edgy in any way, it's just my preference for yandere stories. <D we all have our preferences!
in addition to my silly monologue about my genre preferences, I would also like to say that I really liked the style of this game. the stylistic decision is very good, immersing in this atmosphere, and I really enjoyed looking at the sprites
thanks to everyone who participated in the development!
I also got a huge dose of inspiration for my novel I've been developing for some days now with a yandere theme, I have more energy to work on it! thank you so much
i want to say so much more but i feel awkward already so i think i'll finish here!
finishing - I just love, love, love this game. I adore Milo, I like MC, I like everything, the best thing in yandere genre for me. thank you
I saw a fanart of Milo on tumblr and it was a funny because my first cat was named Milo, too.
A coincidence like that made me played the game and I loved it, such an amazing story and Milo... HE IS SO CUTE.
I love him and I really liked your work. <3
I only played a little bit of it so far, but I like it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Lilith! I love your game's art style a lot too!
I'm sorry if I am asking too much, but is it possible that we could play this on android phone in the future? This game is so good I want to be able to play it all the time.
edit: I finished all the endings. I love Milo so mush, I also love the MC
Hello! I will try to make an android version, but I haven't made anything like that before, so it may take me a while. I'm going to focus more on the update first before I try.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Truly, this is one of the best and most well-rounded visual novels I've ever played! Especially that of the dark romance genre. The fact that our MC is seemingly always one step ahead of everyone, whether in action or mentally, is a nice change from the typical meek and shy one, purely at the mercy of the unstable love interest, no matter us players' attempted interventions. The characters I feel are really well built, the way their stories are introduced and how that gives us the information needed to view them as actual people is outstanding. Please please pleeease, make a sequel or prequel of some kind for this, like maybe one that branches off the different endings we get and how our life is then.

Thank you so much!! One of my goals was to make a different type of MC since I really like the concept of a more evil main character, someone that is actually worse than the yandere himself. I'm glad that the characters are well built, most of them are actually from other worlds that I've created.
This game is originally supposed to be a oneshot, but I would love to make another sequel or prequel for this game. I'm not sure what exactly I would do though since I haven't had a solid idea for it.
Oh!! Good luck with making your own game! Please let me know when you've released it!!
All in all, Ryan is the goat
It's true, and it's very fun throwing him under the bus.
loved this game so much with its great art, amazing characters, and a great story. Also loving how the secret ending worked, i actually felt like i made a decision that would stick in my head so thank you C4Game for ruining my sleep schedule with this beautifully made game :]
Whoa! Thank you so much! I'm glad that the decisions felt very important.
Nooo, don't ruin your sleep schedule!! Mine is already ruined but it shouldn't ruin yours!!
this became my new comfort game tbh
i love milo sm i think he's one of the best written yandere characters, compared to others such as john doe or even ayano aishi, milo actually has a personality and through the game it's easy to symphatize with him (idk if i wrote that correctly english isn't my first language, cheers from italy!!)
Oh?? Thank you so much!
I'm glad you like Milo so much. It does make me happy that you think he's a well written yandere!
I love this game soooo much <3 (rip innocent milo). the atmosphere, ambiance and the story were so interesting! also : violent Milo>> smart Milo
Hahaha, I really need to make a Violent vs Smart Milo poll at some point. I'm really glad you liked the game though!
This was SO EERIE wow amazing vn, Like usually i like yandere stuff but this gave me the CREEPS like i was almost uncomfortable which is hard to do, Also loved the soundtrack Keep up the good work!
Thank you! The music was really a challenge considering that I took a really long time to look for the scary music that would fit, and I'm happy it shows! Thank you as well, I normally don't write more horror based games (I'm more used to writing comedy, actually) so I'm glad I was able to convey the horror aspect!
The MC's personality made them really insufferable (annoying?) to play as since I couldn't justify some of Eris’ actions or enjoy how they responded to things, sorry ;;
But I absolutely adore Milo with all my heart! I can tell you put a lot of love into this game and I had so much fun attempting to get all the endings! Keep up the great work!
That's understandable. I kind of figured that Eris would be a hit or miss with people as with a lot of villain main characters. Plus Eris is kind of supposed to just be a horrible person anyways.
Thank you so much! I'm really happy that so many people like Milo so much.
loved how dark this game got even though in my opinion some moments were just a little bit too over the top or edgy (tho i guess i shouldve expected that) but that didnt take away from the experience i loved this game a lot!!!!!
side note: look as much as i love milo (especially delinquent milo HOOO BOY DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON WHAT I WANT DELINQUENT MILO TO DO TO ME HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE) i think we can all agree that the real best boi of this story is not milo but DESMOND!!!! i dont care what anyone says desmond is the crowned prince of my heart!!!! his nasty temper but good heart, his short height and his long hair??? hehehehehe YES GIMME GIMME GIMME i have decided to open the desmond perfect love appreciation club i am the president of that club
u better make a game about desmond is all im saying. i would eat that up for sure!!!! (im joking of course but like... if u do i will be a very happy person :3)
Haha, yeah, while I was writing this and when people read it out loud I'm struck with the gaaah, edgy!! Over the top!!
Lol delinquent Milo is getting a lot of love, I see. It's true Desmond is the best boy and I do think that he should get more love, haha. He's actually part of a comic series called First Impressions. He uh, is supposed to show up in the next chapter, but he ended up having his debut in this game instead, haha.
I was actually am thinking about making a game involving the main characters of First Impressions. I was thinking of basically making a "prom episode" where you can see each of the main character's point of view, including Desmond! It'll come out like way in the future though, since I still want to make a couple more of the comic chapters before I end up making the game. But! I hope that it will be a fun game.
I can't play it and now i'm sad how are y'all playin' it :(
Oh no! Why can't you play it?
This game needs more attention, its truly amazing and i love it
(Granted i watched a friend stream it, but still very very amazing)
Oh and milo is adorable
Thank you so much! You had a friend stream it? That's so cool!
Wooow!! This VN is incredible >.< Loved the theme and the art. Thank you for your hardwork <3
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it so much!
Thank u for making such an unique and beautiful game <3
Daww, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
!! Thank you!! I haven't decided on another game yet, but hopefully the update will be coming soon since I've finished the writing on it.
Cool game, but man do I feel bad for Milo :(
Small update: After finishing both true endings it's gone from "cool game" to personal favourite, Milo still deserves a hug though. Poor guy.
Milo deserves all the hugs, but I'm not gonna lie it is kind of fun to make him suffer. Sorry about that, haha.
eu amei esse jogo. o design dos personagens é incrível! gostei de todos os finais também, o milo é um amor... adorei ele.
Obrigado! Estou a usar um tradutor para responder, por isso espero que não soe muito estranho. Ainda bem que também gostas dos desenhos das personagens.
Thank you! I'm using a translator to respond so I hope it doesn't sound too wonky. I'm glad you like the character designs as well.
I have an issue, might not matter all that much, but my text would overlap sometimes, and it would get hard to read it. Unsure if it's my computer, or just in general.
I had the same thing happen to me a few times, no idea what caused it though.
Hello, thank you for telling me! The issue seems like it's related to the font that I used for the dialogue, so I'm looking into getting a replacement font for the update. Hopefully after that, it won't occur anymore.
ohh haha i thought it was intentional!
I even achived the "secret ending" omg this is a masterpiece, trully one of the best VNs ever
Thank you!! I hope you enjoyed it!
Do you have icons of Milo and Eris together or seperated?? They are absolutely adorable ><
No, but I can make them! Just give me a bit and remind me after I finish the update.
This was wonderful! It's so well written and entertaining, and I stayed up too late getting all the endings.
I loved how dark and clever Eris was in creating her perfect love, and I truly enjoyed seeing Milo molded into so many different forms.
What a wild ride! Thank you for creating this!
Whoa, don't stay up too late! Thank you so much though! I'm happy I was able to make each form memorable for you!
FIVE STARS VN!!! I absolutely adore this game. The MC is an absolute monster, which was really refreshing for a visual novel! I loooooved the writing for every single ending, and I can't wait to get to the true ending! The artwork, the sfx, everything was on point!!! Absolutely loved Milo's character (in all the different versions, which, were really creative btw.) Keep up the good work <3
Thank you for the praise! I'm really happy so many people like my game!
portuguese?
Only if someone translates it for me.
poor milo. love this game!! really well written
Oh, I know. I feel kind of bad too, but Milo was made to suffer. Thank you!
just wanted to write a quick comment saying i absolutely adored the game (seriously, i’m absolutely obsessed with everything about it) and asking if you’d be okay with me writing fanfiction of it! it’d all be sfw, of course (don’t want to be that person l3wding a game that wasn’t l3wd in the first place), and i’d credit properly and link back to the game page.
Thank you! And of course! I'd love to read it.
Though this game doesn't have any NSFW, I won't and can't really stop people from writing any if you really really want it. I personally don't mind.Wow! Thank you! It was fun watching your previous video as well.
This game is truly fantastic. I need a sequel!
And the quote-on-quote perfect ending is the cherry on the top. Brings me a sense of Monika...fourth-wall-breaks...a little bit heartbroken from the sense of Milo trying his best for me..All the endings are so well written and diverse in its own way. Thank you for giving us this wonderful creation ^^
Haha, maybe! I'm not sure yet since I don't have a good solid idea of what kind of game I want to make yet.
Thank you so much!
He instalado varias veces el juego pero no corre y me dice que no es compatible, ¿alguien sabe con qué versiones de Windows es compatible <:)?
I have installed the game several times but it doesn't run and it tells me that it is not compatible, does anyone know what versions of Windows it is compatible with <:)?
That seems really weird? I currently have Windows 10, so I'm not sure it'll work on Windows 11.
I LOVE THIS SO MUUUUCHHHH <333
Thank you!!
plz throw us a bone abt the easter eggs, im dying to know if i got all of em in the name selection
Haha... but that's no fun! I will say that a lot of the Easter eggs are connected to yandere vns I've played, nicknames and names. They're usually connected. Some of them are from Beta testers as well. If you check out my tumblr, I have a couple of them I do talk about as well.
OH MY FUCKING GOD 5 HOURS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME GONE BECAUSE I CHOOSE THE WRONG FUCKING ANSWER IN THE TRUTH ENDING I LOVE THIS GAME BUT I CANNOT ANYMORE.
Are you sure you chose the wrong ending? Perhaps it was always meant to be destroyed...
i cant. THE GAME IS AAAAAAAAAAA even tho theres a part where left me in "???" BUT I LOVE THIS GAME AKSJAKSJ from the character, to the ending. I LOVE IT. LITERALLY 10/10
Eris is sooooomg i dont know how to describe it BUT ACKKK *twirl my hair shyly* (Eris is so cool, literally fascinating me by their pov. In both way. I FEEL GOOSEBUMPS)
AND MILO TOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA my cutie patootie, i would love to give an entire world just for him *fly kiss*
im so sorry for my bad English and my comment sounds weird but UEUEUEUEU TT i love you, the one who made this game *spamming love emoji*
(i dont know if this counted as spoiler or not, but i love the last ending after we gather all the 8 ending. IM SORRY BUT ITS SOOOOOOOO wow. I cant think of any words that can describe how i feel about it but its left me in SPEECHLESS. I was like ":0" AT THE ENTIRE OF THE ENDING)
Thank you??! What a reaction!!
Eris is so fun to write honestly, even if they are like the worst type of person. Really gives off that villain energy.
Milo deserves the world, but I unfortunately will not give it to him. At least on this game, I'm not sure what kinds of possible spinoffs I might want to make.
No worries, thank you so much!! I'm glad you like the game and all of the endings!
hii! what engine/platform did you use to create this game? I love the animations and the style of the game!
i’d be in utter shock if you answer ren’py, but am deeply curious because i’d love to learn the technical aspects of this game :)
lovely game, as it has been mentioned by many others, lol
Haha, I actually did use ren'py for this game! I don't mind giving more of the technical side of how I did things, just let me know what specifically you're curious about.
I'm also thinking after the update, I'm going to make a post mortum type post where I go in depth on how I did everything and my process (or at least best I can). On my tumblr, I also had a dev log going that I talked about some of my progress as well, if you're interested.
this game is veeeeeeeeeeeeery cool!!!!! i would really recommend to play it lots of people.. just for entertainment
Heckk yeahh!! I hope the people you recommend it to have fun as well!
tldr: I love this game too much. I don't like to type too long sentences but please do note I do adore and this game and Milo (Milo is my love). do you have any plans to update? imo the MC isn't my cup of tea I don't like how they sometimes hurt him are there other ways we can get a happy ending also poor ryn(I don't remember his name)
Hi! Thank you! I am planning to update with some extra stories and whatnot in the future.
Understandable. I think Eris is kind of a polarizing main character, so I kind of expected people to like them or hate them. It's just a matter of preference.
Hahaha, ah, sorry, Milo doesn't really get any happy endings in this game. I did give him his beloved picnic date in one of the updates though!
