Perfect Love is such a cool game!! I liked it a lot (I think I made that obvious over on tumblr too, but now that I've finished it I figured I ought to leave a comment here, too)
[SPOILERS, kinda]
I have to admit it was fun to play a yandere visual novel where we are, arguably, the antagonist (and we're not even the yandere!) Eris is an absolutely reprehensible character, and I had a whole lot of fun playing them. Their aspirations for a relationship are utterly twisted, and they certainly go through unsavory methods to get what they want.
The whole way through, I felt so bad for Milo. Admittedly, even if the outcomes were pretty terrifying, it was nice to see him happy in the two main routes. For all that Eris turned him into, at the end of the day he was just happy when he could have them all to himself... even if he went to some pretty terrifying lengths to have them.
(As an aside, I really adored Violence!Milo for some reason 😂 I wasn't much of a fan of being beaten up by him in a few endings (not that Manipulation!Milo didn't also use some violent methods), but as someone who has dealt with manipulative partners in the past... I'd say the one who uses brute force was somehow less scary. Plus I was a big fan of his aesthetic!)
The Perfect Love route (ending(s)?) was very rough, though. Milo had his entire world shattered in both variants, and that was just... painful. Poor guy. You really captured the agony of having his perception about his love crumble around him. And yet, I have a feeling he'll still choose Eris over everyone and everything, anyhow.
Overall, it was fun to have a game where two monsters embrace being terrible and love each other. Even if Milo wouldn't have been a monster before he met Eris, he certainly became one after.
I'm not sure if you plan to make any more visual novels in the future, but the one you have made is fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to it in future updates! (And, also, I plan to try and find some of the references you have in it, now that I've done a whole proper playthrough)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. I actually did have an easter egg for you for the name, but I didn't end up putting it in this version. No worries though, when I release the update, it will be in there, I promise.
Yeah, I think it's a fun difference. It's really fun to play as a villain character, and it also lends itself more to the horror drama. I've always liked the idea of a character that is worse than the yandere. I'm glad you like Violence Milo though, his style is very different from the type of characters I normally draw, so it's very nice that I have a lot of positive responses for him.
The tragedy of it all is pretty fun, even if it is rather sad.
Ah yes, thank you! I am planning on working on a different game after this one. It was actually the game I was working on previously, but I was thinking of trying to make it in Godot. It will be a lot lighter in tone and more comedic base. Also has a yandere as a side character as well, I hope that it will be a fun game too.
For me?? ;///; I'm really flattered. Thank you. I look forward to getting a chance to see it!
I agree! It honestly made the story more compelling than having an innocent MC in a lot of ways. I was both rooting for Eris and Milo's relationship, while feeling very conflicted about everything that happens. And you really did a great job with Violence Milo's design! I realize that I didn't go super into detail about how much I love your art for this game, but it's a very aesthetically pleasing game. I'm very fond of all of the designs (the Milos are my favorite in general, even beyond how much I like V!Milo's design) and the black and white/monochrome scheme with just a little bit of color is really cool
Ooh, I'm excited to see the game you're working on. If you do make it in Godot, I hope it goes smoothly! (I've heard Godot has a similar language to Python? So hopefully it ends up pretty easy)
Ahh! Okay, so, I won't put any actual spoilers for the easter eggs here, but as far as the name ones go: I had a lot of fun with what happens when we put in bad words, and it was also cool to see how it goes when we put in the in-game characters names. But out of the name ones, my favorites were Vance, Alan, and Tenebris (and I enjoyed when we input your screennames) I haven't found all of the nickname ones yet (I can't remember all of the nicknames yanderes call the MC), but Sunshine, DoeEyes, and Muse made me smile. (Beyond that, I am struggling to find some of the ones in the code/files xD I'm really bad at that sort of stuff, sadly. And I haven't found the one on the home-screen yet)
i have been looking for a yandere game where the MC embraces the yandere acts instead of being all terrified of them in the end. also i love MC and how they were written , absolute Perfektion! (the weeding ending was surprisingly my favorite)
( its so hard for some reason to find one where MC isn't some "innocent", terrified, mentally "sane" person) (love to see both being insane)
the Plot is also amazing!! (everything i ever wanted in a yandere game) easily one of my new favorite games. <3333
That's the best yandere novel I've ever played. I love Mailo soo muchhhh❤️❤️❤️ please, kiss him in forehead for me.
Plot is 100/10 (even though I can't stand the mc) Thanks to the autor of this game - I love your work❤️❤️ please, don't stop making games, I'd love to play in something like that again
I don't think my previous comment went through but anyways. wow this game was great, really had me invested all the way through. wedding ending is probably the "best" one lmao
God this was so fucked up. Loved it! Especially loved when it became clear that even the bullying was set up by the MC. I love it when a game makes me go "wow that's fucked up as hell" every 5 minutes. First ending I got was the cannibalism ending which is typical for me lmaoooo. Really enjoyed the doll ending too!
this game is exactly what i've been looking for my whole life
ive needed a title where the protagonist actively embraces the dark side of their yandere lover, this is absolutely perfect!!
im love milo so much,,hes such a sweetheart in every shape and form, unfortunately i was an audio-less gamer so i couldnt hear the animal noises playing through the whole game and only realised it when i started the violence routes, i HAD to go back and hear kitty noises with manip milo (AND THEN I DIVED INTO THE SCRIPT.RPY TO REALISE PRE-SPLIT PATH MILO MAKES BUNNY NOISES??? HELLO AM I DEAF????)
the first ending i got was the wall ending, which made me sad like "milo i want to see you, please let me see you" he's in the walls and i cOULD NOT see him which made me sad
turns out, hats can never compare to glasses, which made me so incredibly sad when i realised i cOULDVE HAD GLASSES MILO
highkey every time i unlocked a manip ending i got so disappointed because i loved each ending more than the last (doll ending is superior, i dont care what anyone else says, and i was so sad i didnt get that ending first)
also, true ending slaps, i love getting existential with a yandere (but also i need MORE, milo remembering every route??? thats like, highkey monika stuff, i love it)
this is the part where i mainly talk about script diving
i dived into the script to look at the easter eggs for the names because i noticed that the nickname 'darling' that i picked out first actually had a unique reaction from milo instead of a generic one, so i absolutely NEEDED to know what else couldve been in store (i am not creative enough to brute force through the name easter eggs (and i love that you included manlybadasshero, now he needs to pick this up because i NEED to see his reaction to it even if it is just an 'oh'))
you've included so much detail!!! i cant believe you've even included additional dialogue with the player's name if you had a specific nickname, you are so dedicated to your craft
i loved reading some of your comments throughout the script, they were so funny, Violence is ABSOLUTELY a malewife even if he does burn his chicken nuggets
in label: soclose, how do i get it, i need it, what do you mean pre-split path milo's canonically a buff strong boye with MUSCLES, and milo canonically being a stardew valley player?? chefs kiss, i never knew i needed that so badly until now
thanks for creating this game and please continue doing god's work :pray:
Woo, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, for Premilo I tried to specifically look for rabbit/bunny noises. It was surprisingly difficult which is partially why compared to Violence and Manipulation, his sfx are a lot less. Hats vs Glasses? Maybe I should make a poll, though I think glasses would win, haha. I'm really glad you like all the endings! I wanted to make them all varied just to see what kind of things Milo could do and change into.
Haha, thank you! A lot of the easter eggs are related to other yandere vns, so it makes sense to associate the kinds of nicknames they have as well. I'm going to add a bunch more in the update as well, so hopefully you have more to look into afterwards!
Haha, yes! I love it when people look through the script. I actually initially added it because one of my friends really likes looking into the scripts of the games, so I thought it would be fun for those who wanted to dig a bit more. That includes the secret scene you saw ;3.
Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy my next couple of games too!
Hey! just finished the top ver of the true ending. poor Milo. I am going to kill everything. ERIS WHEN I CATCH YOU ERIS BETTER CATCH THESE HANDS, ERIS!!!!
it’s so goood!
it’s so relatable to me
the first ending i got was the wedding ending and it was the best ending
in real life i would rather they don’t burn me
if i could only have a boy like him to make him my perfect love too…
ERM I JUST FIGURED OUT THERE WERE SECRET ENDINGS AND TAKING EVERYTHING AWAY FROM HIM WAS ACTUALLY SO DISTURBING I FEEL SO BAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH We didn't even give him everything he wanted when we decided to WHY ARE WE SO SELFLIsh AND NO I WILL NO6T USE PUNCTUATIONJWHDIDNKHCDS <3
I can't I can't, I just got the "Perfect cannibal's love end" I threw up in my mouth but I swallowed the gross liquid. Then I got the "A married love ending." If we are tracking I have 5/8 endings, I still have one more to do and I need to mess with the code for the last two ones if I'm correct. 6/8 endings! "Perfect doll's love end." I spit out my water when I heard Milo was gonna unalive Desmond, well I guess it would be a 'lovely' gift to his girlfriend. 7/8 endings! "A perfect burning love end." Honestly, I thought Milo was gonna unalive us. I can't I've gotten all the endings(Without the easter eggs) And I'm gonna throw up...That was. Well..I can't describe it. (I've said I'm gonna throw up/thrown up a billion times) 9/10. I..Can't the way I the M/C(Me or referred to as Player) was so cruel. I got the ending by accident by typing love instead of lovely Mimi. Yes, I call him Mimi. NOUR all of my progress gets deleted??!!! Okay. See you guys later for an hour or two! 10/10...I am...Shocken beyond repair. I...That was so...I can't poor Milo...He's my favorite character of all of the Yandere/Romance visual novels I've played...I feel so sad.
Oh my, thank you for each of your thoughts for the endings! I'm really happy you had this experience. Don't worry, he is probably fine, being with his love forever, if he could.
My jaw dropped when I read "Split Path" I live in Croatia and I've rested in Split a lot of times ago. I went for the violent ending first and then stalking Ryan as it felt the closest to how I've been manipulated in the past I've been more physiology manipulated but people used me for violence as I am tall, strong have a blunt personality and was quite possessive with the people I love. Honestly, I had chills down my spine because of the stalking because I'm pretty sure I'm being stalked in real life. I was too scared to click to get rid of them because I experienced the low point where my friend before isolated me from my other friends. After all, they wanted to be my best friend. I clicked it anyway though. I got the perfect killer end. I felt as if I was about to cry honestly. But I determined I was going to push on and get the rest of the endings as it's just 9:47 pm! I'm crying from the "a perfect house husband end" The character design of the m/c looks way too similar to me and I can just imagine myself being hit over and over and just Milo standing on my glasses and breaking them into chunks or rather said shattering them into a million pieces. I got the perfect love beyond the walls end. Honestly, I'm too tired to get any other ending so I'll get the others tomorrow tracking I have 3/8 endings. If needed I'm gonna mess with the code to get the ending because I am quite lazy today!
Oh, haha. What a happy coincidence Split Path is haha. Oh my, I hope that the manipulation in the past wasn't really bad, and being stalked as well, I hope you're alright. Thank you for enjoying my game!
this game = perfection. x3 im not rlly a kind of person who likes yandere type of stuff but I recently started watching a show on Netflix called "you" and its amazing (I recommend loads!) so I looked around itch.io for a game such as this! it was sosososososossososossososososososoSO amazing and I rlly cannot explain how much I LOVE milo :3 my fav is manipulator/cat milo he's js so perfect!!!1!1!!!!1 i totally recommend this game if ur thinking abt it!
reminds me of an ex-friend of 8 years with the mindset "youre the only one i have so dont talk to anyone else". Havent seen her in years. Oh and i love you and your game
I LOVE MILO!!! he is my new fav charater of all times the game was so fun! for me it was abit short though for all ending like a 1-3 hours or skmething cant remember!
I don't know if my original comment is still around here but i LOVE this game so much!! It took nearly 5 hours to record and nearly a week to edit but I enjoyed EVERY moment! This game is truly something special and I almost missed it completely!
(mild spoiler)
I adore the ending, tragic as it is, I kind of don't think a happier ending would suit the MC, every part is PERFECT as it is!! Thank you for making such an amazing game!!
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
i adore how he looks when he has heart pupils but his other expressions are also as cute! and my gallery is full of photos of milo now :3
in general, i absolutely love everything about this game, the story is just perfect, i think its pretty original since the mc is worse than the yandere, normally its the other way around
but still, i think this game's amazing, fantastic, awesome, cool, beautiful and wonderful!!! i absolutely love the artstyle and it fits ALOT to this game in my opinion (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, the fact that its pretty unknown, i search milo up anywhere and i barely get anything D:
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!
Sorry for the late reply, I actually did see when you added my game into your to play collection and I was pretty excited for when it would come out! I'm so honored that this is one of your favorite games that you've played so far, and I'm happy that you enjoy all the details I put into it! It was totally worth looking for all of those SFX and Music, it took me a lot longer than I would have expected.
Thank you, I wanted to have a different type of MC and I think that having more villainous or evil MCs are a bit lacking at least in more yandere like vns, so that's why Eris was created.
Haha, I'm glad. The monochrome artstyle was actually partially because I was lazy since I didn't want to color everything and because it was easier for me to just do lineart rather than make everything look really pristine.
I'm really happy you saw it!! I was a bit worried that you might not have been able to catch it since I was just going off what you usually put as a name in games, but I'm happy it payed off!!
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
Oh! You're the creator of Magenta! I played your demo and it was really cool, I like the idea of it a lot!
I kind of understand what you're talking about, an encompassing love on both side that ravishes and consumes each other over and over again. Like an oroboros, in a way. I like the idea of having something that's really twisted and wrong but at the same time something that you can't look away from. Not sure if that's completely what the same feeling is, but I am happy I was able to give you a close experience, even for a brief time. I'm glad you like the sprites too! The game is a bit messy on purpose, to allow for a more grungy like effect, while the tone is more for the darker atmosphere I was going for.
Thank you so much for your praise! I really appreciate it and I hope to see more of your game as well!
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.
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!!
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 :]
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!!)
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.

Perfect Love is such a cool game!! I liked it a lot (I think I made that obvious over on tumblr too, but now that I've finished it I figured I ought to leave a comment here, too)
[SPOILERS, kinda]
I have to admit it was fun to play a yandere visual novel where we are, arguably, the antagonist (and we're not even the yandere!)

Their aspirations for a relationship are utterly twisted, and they certainly go through unsavory methods to get what they want.

(As an aside, I really adored Violence!Milo for some reason 😂 I wasn't much of a fan of being beaten up by him in a few endings (not that Manipulation!Milo didn't also use some violent methods), but as someone who has dealt with manipulative partners in the past... I'd say the one who uses brute force was somehow less scary. Plus I was a big fan of his aesthetic!)

I'm not sure if you plan to make any more visual novels in the future, but the one you have made is fantastic!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to it in future updates!
(And, also, I plan to try and find some of the references you have in it, now that I've done a whole proper playthrough)
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. I actually did have an easter egg for you for the name, but I didn't end up putting it in this version. No worries though, when I release the update, it will be in there, I promise.
Yeah, I think it's a fun difference. It's really fun to play as a villain character, and it also lends itself more to the horror drama. I've always liked the idea of a character that is worse than the yandere. I'm glad you like Violence Milo though, his style is very different from the type of characters I normally draw, so it's very nice that I have a lot of positive responses for him.
The tragedy of it all is pretty fun, even if it is rather sad.
Ah yes, thank you! I am planning on working on a different game after this one. It was actually the game I was working on previously, but I was thinking of trying to make it in Godot. It will be a lot lighter in tone and more comedic base. Also has a yandere as a side character as well, I hope that it will be a fun game too.
Let me know which easter eggs you liked!
For me?? ;///; I'm really flattered. Thank you. I look forward to getting a chance to see it!
I agree! It honestly made the story more compelling than having an innocent MC in a lot of ways. I was both rooting for Eris and Milo's relationship, while feeling very conflicted about everything that happens.
And you really did a great job with Violence Milo's design! I realize that I didn't go super into detail about how much I love your art for this game, but it's a very aesthetically pleasing game. I'm very fond of all of the designs (the Milos are my favorite in general, even beyond how much I like V!Milo's design) and the black and white/monochrome scheme with just a little bit of color is really cool
Ooh, I'm excited to see the game you're working on. If you do make it in Godot, I hope it goes smoothly! (I've heard Godot has a similar language to Python? So hopefully it ends up pretty easy)
Ahh! Okay, so, I won't put any actual spoilers for the easter eggs here, but as far as the name ones go: I had a lot of fun with what happens when we put in bad words, and it was also cool to see how it goes when we put in the in-game characters names.
But out of the name ones, my favorites were Vance, Alan, and Tenebris (and I enjoyed when we input your screennames)
I haven't found all of the nickname ones yet (I can't remember all of the nicknames yanderes call the MC), but Sunshine, DoeEyes, and Muse made me smile.
(Beyond that, I am struggling to find some of the ones in the code/files xD I'm really bad at that sort of stuff, sadly. And I haven't found the one on the home-screen yet)
I made an account so i could comment
i really liked the game! sorry i dont have very much to say :c
but the story was interesting i feel a bit bad for ryan from what i was understanding of the story
Whoa! You made an account for me? Thank you so much! Yeah, Ryan prrooobably deserved better than that haha.
I am in love with this game!
i have been looking for a yandere game where the MC embraces the yandere acts instead of being all terrified of them in the end. also i love MC and how they were written , absolute Perfektion! (the weeding ending was surprisingly my favorite)
( its so hard for some reason to find one where MC isn't some "innocent", terrified, mentally "sane" person) (love to see both being insane)
the Plot is also amazing!! (everything i ever wanted in a yandere game) easily one of my new favorite games. <3333
That's the best yandere novel I've ever played. I love Mailo soo muchhhh❤️❤️❤️ please, kiss him in forehead for me.
Plot is 100/10 (even though I can't stand the mc) Thanks to the autor of this game - I love your work❤️❤️ please, don't stop making games, I'd love to play in something like that again
Best yandere visual novel? Thank you so much!
I hope you enjoy my next game as well, though it will be very different than this game and much more light hearted.
I don't think my previous comment went through but anyways.
wow this game was great, really had me invested all the way through. wedding ending is probably the "best" one lmao
Woo, that's great. I had a lot of fun writing the wedding ending too.
THIS GAME EXCITES ME!! Just started playing and I'm already GIDDY
Ooh! Get excited!
This game is something else! I LOVE IT
Thank you!
IS IT JUST ME OR ERIS LOOKS LIKE TATSUMAKI FROM OPM?!?????!!?!?!?!? anyways, I LOVE YOU SM MILO <3<3<3
I can see it.
God this was so fucked up. Loved it! Especially loved when it became clear that even the bullying was set up by the MC. I love it when a game makes me go "wow that's fucked up as hell" every 5 minutes. First ending I got was the cannibalism ending which is typical for me lmaoooo. Really enjoyed the doll ending too!
Woo! It's great that a lot of people like the more messed up MCs. I think that's super fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
this game is exactly what i've been looking for my whole life
ive needed a title where the protagonist actively embraces the dark side of their yandere lover, this is absolutely perfect!!
im love milo so much,,hes such a sweetheart in every shape and form, unfortunately i was an audio-less gamer so i couldnt hear the animal noises playing through the whole game and only realised it when i started the violence routes, i HAD to go back and hear kitty noises with manip milo (AND THEN I DIVED INTO THE SCRIPT.RPY TO REALISE PRE-SPLIT PATH MILO MAKES BUNNY NOISES??? HELLO AM I DEAF????)
the first ending i got was the wall ending, which made me sad like "milo i want to see you, please let me see you" he's in the walls and i cOULD NOT see him which made me sad
turns out, hats can never compare to glasses, which made me so incredibly sad when i realised i cOULDVE HAD GLASSES MILO
highkey every time i unlocked a manip ending i got so disappointed because i loved each ending more than the last (doll ending is superior, i dont care what anyone else says, and i was so sad i didnt get that ending first)
also, true ending slaps, i love getting existential with a yandere (but also i need MORE, milo remembering every route??? thats like, highkey monika stuff, i love it)
this is the part where i mainly talk about script diving
i dived into the script to look at the easter eggs for the names because i noticed that the nickname 'darling' that i picked out first actually had a unique reaction from milo instead of a generic one, so i absolutely NEEDED to know what else couldve been in store (i am not creative enough to brute force through the name easter eggs (and i love that you included manlybadasshero, now he needs to pick this up because i NEED to see his reaction to it even if it is just an 'oh'))
you've included so much detail!!! i cant believe you've even included additional dialogue with the player's name if you had a specific nickname, you are so dedicated to your craft
i loved reading some of your comments throughout the script, they were so funny, Violence is ABSOLUTELY a malewife even if he does burn his chicken nuggets
in label: soclose, how do i get it, i need it, what do you mean pre-split path milo's canonically a buff strong boye with MUSCLES, and milo canonically being a stardew valley player?? chefs kiss, i never knew i needed that so badly until now
thanks for creating this game and please continue doing god's work :pray:
Woo, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, for Premilo I tried to specifically look for rabbit/bunny noises. It was surprisingly difficult which is partially why compared to Violence and Manipulation, his sfx are a lot less. Hats vs Glasses? Maybe I should make a poll, though I think glasses would win, haha. I'm really glad you like all the endings! I wanted to make them all varied just to see what kind of things Milo could do and change into.
Haha, thank you! A lot of the easter eggs are related to other yandere vns, so it makes sense to associate the kinds of nicknames they have as well. I'm going to add a bunch more in the update as well, so hopefully you have more to look into afterwards!
Haha, yes! I love it when people look through the script. I actually initially added it because one of my friends really likes looking into the scripts of the games, so I thought it would be fun for those who wanted to dig a bit more. That includes the secret scene you saw ;3.
Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy my next couple of games too!
WALL ENDING IS BEST ENDING! Anyone who doesn't think so must understand the glories of wallmen
Hehehehe...
This gamed seems great but i didn't play a lot of it because i felt bad for Milo...
Haha, no problem. I feel bad for Milo too, but it must be done for the Perfect Love.
Ending where Milo teaches us how to crochet and we become a crazy cat couple when?
Not sure...I guess when you make it?
noooo... that takes to much effort😔
give me like 5 years and ill resurface from the deepest pits of hell to whip something up <3
I AM NOT OBESSEIVE RAHH
Are you sure?? That sounds kind of sus!!
damn, i loved this game. all of it. i wish to make a game like this!
Thank you! I hope you do make a game, and let me know so I can play it!
poor Milo.
I am going to kill everything.
ERIS WHEN I CATCH YOU ERIS
BETTER CATCH THESE HANDS, ERIS!!!!
plus (cw: spoilers)
Eris is laughing at you haha, better try to catch them!
Thank you so much!
it’s so goood! it’s so relatable to me the first ending i got was the wedding ending and it was the best ending in real life i would rather they don’t burn me if i could only have a boy like him to make him my perfect love too…
Ohh, don't get burned! I'm not sure following Eris's footsteps is necessarily the best idea but...
don’t worry i won’t do that because for some reason i have sympathy…
me after binging the game instead of studying bc it's so good <<
Ayyy, nice! Though hopefully you were able to study after!
Studied enough to get an 85% on my DBA so I'd consider it a win👍
ERM I JUST FIGURED OUT THERE WERE SECRET ENDINGS AND TAKING EVERYTHING AWAY FROM HIM WAS ACTUALLY SO DISTURBING I FEEL SO BAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH We didn't even give him everything he wanted when we decided to WHY ARE WE SO SELFLIsh AND NO I WILL NO6T USE PUNCTUATIONJWHDIDNKHCDS <3
Hehehehehe... Perhaps he will keep trying, since he's not enough.
He funfking better🙄🤚
I can't I can't, I just got the "Perfect cannibal's love end" I threw up in my mouth but I swallowed the gross liquid. Then I got the "A married love ending." If we are tracking I have 5/8 endings, I still have one more to do and I need to mess with the code for the last two ones if I'm correct. 6/8 endings! "Perfect doll's love end." I spit out my water when I heard Milo was gonna unalive Desmond, well I guess it would be a 'lovely' gift to his girlfriend. 7/8 endings! "A perfect burning love end." Honestly, I thought Milo was gonna unalive us. I can't I've gotten all the endings(Without the easter eggs) And I'm gonna throw up...That was. Well..I can't describe it. (I've said I'm gonna throw up/thrown up a billion times) 9/10. I..Can't the way I the M/C(Me or referred to as Player) was so cruel. I got the ending by accident by typing love instead of lovely Mimi. Yes, I call him Mimi. NOUR all of my progress gets deleted??!!! Okay. See you guys later for an hour or two! 10/10...I am...Shocken beyond repair. I...That was so...I can't poor Milo...He's my favorite character of all of the Yandere/Romance visual novels I've played...I feel so sad.
Oh my, thank you for each of your thoughts for the endings! I'm really happy you had this experience. Don't worry, he is probably fine, being with his love forever, if he could.
My jaw dropped when I read "Split Path" I live in Croatia and I've rested in Split a lot of times ago. I went for the violent ending first and then stalking Ryan as it felt the closest to how I've been manipulated in the past I've been more physiology manipulated but people used me for violence as I am tall, strong have a blunt personality and was quite possessive with the people I love. Honestly, I had chills down my spine because of the stalking because I'm pretty sure I'm being stalked in real life. I was too scared to click to get rid of them because I experienced the low point where my friend before isolated me from my other friends. After all, they wanted to be my best friend. I clicked it anyway though. I got the perfect killer end. I felt as if I was about to cry honestly. But I determined I was going to push on and get the rest of the endings as it's just 9:47 pm! I'm crying from the "a perfect house husband end" The character design of the m/c looks way too similar to me and I can just imagine myself being hit over and over and just Milo standing on my glasses and breaking them into chunks or rather said shattering them into a million pieces. I got the perfect love beyond the walls end. Honestly, I'm too tired to get any other ending so I'll get the others tomorrow tracking I have 3/8 endings. If needed I'm gonna mess with the code to get the ending because I am quite lazy today!
Oh, haha. What a happy coincidence Split Path is haha. Oh my, I hope that the manipulation in the past wasn't really bad, and being stalked as well, I hope you're alright. Thank you for enjoying my game!
this game = perfection. x3
im not rlly a kind of person who likes yandere type of stuff but I recently started watching a show on Netflix called "you" and its amazing (I recommend loads!) so I looked around itch.io for a game such as this! it was sosososososossososossososososososoSO amazing and I rlly cannot explain how much I LOVE milo :3 my fav is manipulator/cat milo he's js so perfect!!!1!1!!!!1
i totally recommend this game if ur thinking abt it!
Thank you! I actually did heard of "You", but I haven't watched it before. I'm really happy that you like it so much! Cat milo is pretty cute haha.
omg i love that TV show!! im gonna play the game today :-)
A guard dog or a deceitful cat, oh Milo reminds me of someone.
Indeed. Who does he remind you of?
reminds me of an ex-friend of 8 years with the mindset "youre the only one i have so dont talk to anyone else". Havent seen her in years. Oh and i love you and your game
Interesting, though it doesn't sound like the best relationship. Thank you for your compliment!
I LOVE MILO!!! he is my new fav charater of all times the game was so fun! for me it was abit short though for all ending like a 1-3 hours or skmething cant remember!
Woo! I'm glad you like it!
(mild spoiler)
I adore the ending, tragic as it is, I kind of don't think a happier ending would suit the MC, every part is PERFECT as it is!! Thank you for making such an amazing game!!
OMG KASPER!!!! Your playthrough of it was so fun! you made me get the game!!
glad u like my playthrough and the game!
Thank you so much! I love your vtuber model they look very cozy.
thank you!!
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
Ahahaha, probably not. Milo was kind of made to suffer.
It's true, Milo is very cute. I wanted to try to make his someone that you do feel bad about manipulating. He deserves the headpats.
I'm sorry that I didn't ask you before doing this but...
I absolutely adore them so much!
Oh!! These are so cute!!
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
i adore how he looks when he has heart pupils but his other expressions are also as cute! and my gallery is full of photos of milo now :3
in general, i absolutely love everything about this game, the story is just perfect, i think its pretty original since the mc is worse than the yandere, normally its the other way around
but still, i think this game's amazing, fantastic, awesome, cool, beautiful and wonderful!!! i absolutely love the artstyle and it fits ALOT to this game in my opinion (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, the fact that its pretty unknown, 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!
Sorry for the late reply, I actually did see when you added my game into your to play collection and I was pretty excited for when it would come out! I'm so honored that this is one of your favorite games that you've played so far, and I'm happy that you enjoy all the details I put into it! It was totally worth looking for all of those SFX and Music, it took me a lot longer than I would have expected.
Thank you, I wanted to have a different type of MC and I think that having more villainous or evil MCs are a bit lacking at least in more yandere like vns, so that's why Eris was created.
Haha, I'm glad. The monochrome artstyle was actually partially because I was lazy since I didn't want to color everything and because it was easier for me to just do lineart rather than make everything look really pristine.
I'm really happy you saw it!! I was a bit worried that you might not have been able to catch it since I was just going off what you usually put as a name in games, but I'm happy it payed off!!
It's very OK, I'd rather you reply when you have time! This was a phenomenal game and a lot of people in the comments think so too!
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
Oh! You're the creator of Magenta! I played your demo and it was really cool, I like the idea of it a lot!
I kind of understand what you're talking about, an encompassing love on both side that ravishes and consumes each other over and over again. Like an oroboros, in a way. I like the idea of having something that's really twisted and wrong but at the same time something that you can't look away from. Not sure if that's completely what the same feeling is, but I am happy I was able to give you a close experience, even for a brief time. I'm glad you like the sprites too! The game is a bit messy on purpose, to allow for a more grungy like effect, while the tone is more for the darker atmosphere I was going for.
Thank you so much for your praise! I really appreciate it and I hope to see more of your game as well!
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
Daww, that's a cute name for a cat.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like him.
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.
- an aspiring interactive fiction game dev
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.
