Hello sorry if i am wasting your time but i want to know if this game going to be released for Android? I think than your game was beatiful and i would like to play
I did think about whether or not I will release it for Android, but I will have to get back to you on it after I finish my update.
From my understanding, Android versions are generally a bit more difficult because you have to move everything around to fit onto an android system. Since my game has a more...phone like aspect ratio, it might be a bit easier than one that is more fit for the computer. Don't quote me on that though. I will look into it, but I won't promise anything.
This was truly bone chilling, first game to make me feel paranoia and it was written so horrifically wonderfully. I do feel bad for Milo though, even though user below me did state he was already obsessed with us, I feel that we morphed him into a version in which we wanted, essentially still manipulating him to get what we want. Clicked 'take everything' for the true ending, was really sad to see how reader broke him down in the end. 🥹 I don't think I'll have to motivation to do on anything for a bit after playing this, that's how well the horror-ish inclusion was. Thank you for making this game, it took me 2+ hours to play all the endings so it must've taken WAY longer for you to make it. <3
Daww, thank you. I did my best to kind of show the unease of what the main character is doing and just how far they're willing to drag Milo down into that pit.
Funny story, while nearing the end of creating my game, someone did ask me how long the routes were and I was like, "No idea, 10 minutes per route?". And now that I'm watching people on youtube sometimes post this game which are like 4 hours, it makes me laugh just how off I was about the length of the game.
I genuanly don't feel bad for Milo. We don't make him that way he is, its shown through the little things. like how we only chose him because he already adored us. The moment we walk away the first time, he looks at us with obsession. He was already those people, even if we had never even got Ryan to bully him, it feels like he still would have become the insane person he is. Edit: I forgot to include how much I love this game. As someone who is obsessed with yanderes and infactuated with the idea of them, I loved this. I want more things like this, where its a yandere romance but the MC is just as insane.
2nd Edit: I read through some comments and am I weird for choosing Little Bun as my nickname?
What a very interesting take! It is true, Milo does have a lot of yandere tendencies, even before Eris meets him, so it is very likely that no matter who he attached on, his yandere tendencies would only grow, but to what degree, that remains to be seen.
Same, that's why I made this game! I think that this concept should be more explored in yandere media.
No, I think that's an absolutely adorable nickname, haha.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. I love seeing the different versions of Milo and the endings. I finished it all in a single day including both the true endings. I have no regrets. The shortcut I made on my desktop allowed me to choose the different option for the true ending without it deleting my other endings (it did take my saves but ig I don't really need that anymore) So now I just have two versions of the game on my desktop, one reset and one with all the endings. Wish I could have seen his reaction to me saving the game files like some kind of Doki-Doki literature club reference or something but oh well. Also *Spoilers* when Ryan became a jerk in the explosion ending, it immediately took away all the pity I had for him in the other endings. Anyways thank you for creating exactly the kind of game I was looking for. I'm going to obsess over this game for months now <3
also I got the easter eggs for both cat milo and original milo but when I saw the easter egg for dog milo I didn't know you could click on it so i missed it :((
Very dedicated! If I knew how to code in the reactions to save files, I think it would have tried to do it, because that does sound very fun. I was planning to have something if you moved your saves before it was all deleted and you placed it back into the game, but I still have to fiddle around with it.
Ryan, you were home free, just couldn't help but get a few kicks in. Thank you for enjoying it. As for the easter eggs, you can still access Violence/Dog Milo if you go on his route and then return to the main menu. You just have to wait until you see his Violence Sprite.
I believe in you and your coding abilities! You got this!! I’m not sure if Milo would be amused or upset at us getting our files back because he seemed pretty upset at us before the reset…
THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD?? It's difficult for me to find Yandere themed VNs that I personally like, since my taste is really picky, so playing this game really amazed me in the way it was a unique thing. I Also pretty much enjoyed the artsyle, since that also adds onto it's uniqueness (I can't describe what I actually mean since I'm natively speaking German </33). The length in game and story really made me enjoy the time I was playing it through, it got me curious if other games were planned since I feel like they will be more than amazing as well. :3 I Was sad when finding out there was no content or edits of this on tiktok or pinterest. (might just make a fan account myself then...)
Sorry for such long text btw, I just cant get over the fact of how good this game is :,>
Oh?? Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the artstyle for this game because I made it specifically for this one (and because it was originally for a game jam and I was like, mm, yeah having full colored game sounds awful to try to cram everything in).
The next game I'm planning on releasing was actually a game that I was working on before this game, which is called Alpha's Day Off! The tone is far more light hearted than this one and more funny too, so I'm not sure if the fans of this game will vibe with the new game. I guess we'll see.
If you do make an edits let me know, I want to see them.
Thank you! Wall ending is actually based off of one of my friend's favorite type of yanderes and the burning one is based off of Heathers. If you are still having a difficult time getting the other endings, I do have a guide you can look at.
this is probably the best visual novel I've seen in a good while. I played through all the endings twice (mainly to get both true endings) and goly its SO GOOD. The art is scrumptious too
OH EM GOSH!!! I positively ADORED this game! like all of the little details are so crazy cool.
Before I go into a rant about how cool this game is, small spoiler warning.
Okay, the way you went out of your way to add cat sound affects when you went down the party routes and dog sound affects when you went down the batting cage routes is so wonderfully vivid and it was such a fun thing to notice on my first playthrough.
The messy, frantic artsyle of the entire game adds so much to the experience and the amount of art youve managed to pack in there is super impressive. Plus all of it has this grand amount of espressiveness to it that really makes the game come to life! One of my personal favorite details was the way that Milo flicks his earing while talking in the party route, it adds such a layer of personality to him.
This detail took me a second to notice but I found it SO cool is how you change the background of each characters nametag to symbolize who they are as a person or their role in the game, and for Milo, how his name tag changes throughout the game to symbolize his change. Its especially cool how every nametag image is an eye motif. My personal favorite was Valli's, i love the stroking lines and rigid nature of it, which seems to reflect her outwardly brash personality. Correct me if im wronng but the middle arms or tendrils or whatever of it almost look like their holding drum sticks (not the food but the instrument kind just to clarify).
Desmonds is cool because it showcases how he sees whats going on, but isnt entirely active in whats happening. A weary observer.
And as for Seph, we dont see much of him in the game so I honestly dont really know but I do know it looks super cool with the little markings around it.
And Milos, the squinted eye slowly opening into an eye that looks down, as if meeting Eris' gaze, in the party route, or up, as if blindly following Eris, in the batting cage route? yet again SO COOL!!!
Additionally, I loved the development with Ryans story and backstory, and how to find out all of the details of Ryans story (and Eris' part in it) you have to play through pretty much all of the routes. It made each new route played feel all that more gratifying!
This is a smaller one, but how the MC's og name is Eris, after the goddess of strife and discord, was also such a cool detail.
Plus the loading and save screens changing depending on which route/part of the game youre on? AMAZING.
I know ive probably gushed a bit too much in this review, but the long and short of it is that you did a killer job with this game and id reccomend it to any and everyone. The amount of work and detail youve put into it, along with the fun gameplay and wicked story line make for a truly unique and enjoyable game. I hope to see more works of yours in the future!
Whoa, thank you so much for this long review! I love reading reviews for my game, it's so much fun.
Yeah, the effects were something I did kind of impromptu while I was adding in the different sfx since I thought it would be a good way to foreshadow what kind of person Milo ends up being depending on what route you take. I (tried to) slowly mix it before they became their new version so you can kind of feel the progression of what they're turning into.
For the expressions (I guess, specifically for the sprites), it was my first time using layered image, but the process is very similar to a type of game modding I like to do, so I kind of went overboard on the expressions. Pretty much every line has a slight expression change for the sprite that you're viewing, which now that I think about it, is kind of insane. But I've always been a big fan of adding in small details like that in games. I wanted to give each version of Milo a specific habit that they might do, like with Pre Milo he hops like a bunny (or binkying, as I've heard) when he's happy, and certain sounds that the Milos make are associated with their mood and whatnot. I'm glad that my previous modding experience let me add in all these things naturally.
Ooh, I'm glad you noticed the name tags! For Valli, I was actually going more for the circuits that a USB or computer has to associate her more with her tech side since we don't really see too much of it in the scene that she's in.
I like your interpretation on Desmond's! I actually don't quite remember what I was going for there... Probably something associated with his anger since he actually has really bad anger issues he deals with.
For Seph, he's supposed to be in a (possible) future game where he (and two other love interests) get lost in a forest with a giant ancient sadistic being that's trying to get out. You are that giant ancient sadistic being. His nametag was an idea of the kinds of symbols that are associated with more ancient drawings you might see. Since there's three different forms I wanted to try out for the MC of that game, I wanted to make it a bit vague. There is some extra lines for him if you use either Cryptic, Abyss or Primal as the MC's name.
Yup!! You totally got it. It also mimics the eyeshapes that the Milos have when turning into their other forms. Easter egg, Ryan and Poison (that's the fighter you see in Violence's route) have the same name tag as the MC. This is because they are both aware and part of the plan of what the MC is trying to make Milo into. You'll also notice that they have an eye design somewhere on them, which is wide open, fully aware of what the MC is doing and powerless to stop them. The two Milos also have eye motifs on their designs but they are never open fully.
Ooh, that's great! I am planning to have an extra story involving Eris and Ryan's past, specifically what Eris has on the USB that is so incriminating. Hopefully that will be something fun to look forward to.
Thank you! I think Eris suits them as a good default name and I'm really glad that you enjoyed the details! Makes putting them in worth it.
Daww, you recommend it to people! That's so cool- I'm always shocked when people recommend my game to others. My next game will be a lot more light hearted, based of characters in Valli's world, called Alpha's Day Off! It's actually the game I was working on before this one. I'm not sure if the people who like this game will enjoy that one, but I hope you'll stick around and try it out.
This was such a beautifully made game, as someone who is super gentle it hurt me to be so cruel to Milo AAA. But having those feelings evoked is what makes this game so amazing, it truly is well made in every shape of form and you should be so proud of yourself for making such an awesome game filled with well written characters with lovely designs and one of the best plotlines/storylines I have ever had the blessing to experience! AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT EVERYTHING IS SO DETAILED ITS INSANE, FROM THE SAVES/OVERWRITING SAVES TO THE TOP OF THE SAVE/LOAD SCREEN YOU SEE HIS CHARACTER IN DIFFERENT ROUTES CHANGE AND SO FORTH!
Also Milo has got to be my ultimate favourite character of the year now, he is truly so adorable, whether he is violent, manipulative or his original self, every bit of his character and their endings were all super interesting and once again beautiful <33!
Thank you for this wonderful game! It holds dear in my heart now <333!
Ohh! Thank you! Yes, hurting Milo is always a sad thing, but it had to be done to unlock his full potential (at least, Eris thinks so). Thank you so much!! I'm really happy that you enjoy that detail in there.
Heck yeah! I'm happy that you like him so much- all of his versions!
I. Fucking. Love. This. Game. I am OBSESSED, I have to have played it through like 12 times by now OML. Milo is the best <3 You're so talented, this game is so good!!!
I didn't realize how serious the game got and used the nickname 'little bitch boy' I also didn't know he would call me that as well BUT it was funny in all honesty. It's a great game and I spent an hour and a half playing to get the endings!
Haha, one of my playtesters did something similar and it's always really fun seeing what kind of nicknames people choose, both more cutesy and more funny! Thank you! I'm glad you liked playing it.
i love milo so, so much! i spent so much time trying to find every little easter eggs! great game, i really enjoyed it and milo's character as well hes such a cutie ( i played the whole game twice to have the two options..) ! i noticed a few bugs with the text but i don't know if it was on purpose for the scary side? if not i can tell you where i spotted those bugs!
Thank you! It makes me very happy people are looking for Easter Eggs in my game.
Do tell me what kind of bugs you had with the text. If it's what I think it is, it might be related to the font I chose, but please let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Here is the few bugs i noticed while playing ! : " You're my everything so i can't... " during the rough Milo run, it's a few line after Eris got attacked a second time by the gang member
" Eris! A-Are you alright? What happened? " With rough Milo when you choose the blue eyes after Ryan stole the USB
" Why are you even talking to my girlfriend..." With the sly Milo when choosing blue eyes after Ryan stole the USB
To describe the bug it's just the text that's duplicated, i'm a mac player if it have anything to do with it, hope i helped!
Ahh, thank you. I think the bug you're describing has something to do with the font I used. I think I might have to use a different font for the game to fix that.
vi por acidente no YT desconhecia curti o visual parei logo em 0.1 segundos vim para essa pagina e me chamou a atençao e estou muito empolgado para experimentar, triste por não poder doar nada agora, mas pretendo.
I saw it by accident on YT, I didn't know, I liked the look, I stopped after 0.1 seconds, I came to this page and it caught my attention and I'm very excited to try it, sad that I can't donate anything now, but I intend to.
oh my gosh!!!!! amazing!!! I spent 3 hours doing the normal endings and another hour doing the true ending and finding all the easter eggs to other vns <3 one of the best games ive played in a while and i have played A LOT (I had a whole list up of vns I played when puting names and nicknames in lmao) I love milo sm
3 hours?? That's a long time. I'm so happy you were able to have fun while finding the other Easter Eggs! I've played a lot of vns as well so I tried to put as many as I could in there. I will likely add more during the update as well.
No officer, i am not the person who played all of the 10 endings in one sitting in order to procrastinate from my research study, no sir you're looking at the wrong person.
Oh Milo at the true ending broke me heart :( he tried so hard
Alright guys, we got the wrong person, obviously there was another person procrastinating during research study and playing all 10 endings in one sitting.
this was awesome I LOVE MILO and kinda feel bad for him but oh well love is crazy sometimes, do hope you make more games in the future since this was a banger and the sounds the characters made were pretty adorable (also the music was great)
My next game will be a lot more goofy and more chilled out, and it's based off existing ocs, aka characters from Valli's universe, specifically. I will have a couple of extra stories that relate to them interacting with characters in this universe.
I'm sorry for my poor English，So I have to use translation software to communicate，This is the first time I've ever talked to an author from another country！This is a really good game，I love this game！！！I was really impressed with Milo's characterization and story！！This game deeply touched me! I'll say it again this game is amazing！I also have a question，If I want to draw fan pictures，Can I create a new character to be in love with Milo? Sorry again for my poor English, I don't know how to express it tactfully, I hope this question doesn't offend you!I do not deny that the original image of the protagonist is not good, on the contrary, I really like the madness of the protagonist! But I don't know if the protagonist is an exact image, if you see and answer it, thank you very much!
Whoa! Thank you so much for playing this game, and especially trying to play it in another language! I hope it wasn't too much of a difficult experience or anything! But it does sound like you had a good time!
Yes, of course! I don't mind if you want to draw your own character or even other characters with Milo, in fact, I very much encourage any type of fanart or fancreation! I really like fanart hahaha.
I loved his game so much!!! The music, art, and story were perfect it was so good i just can not. it was way too good this game is my perfect love. also the nickname I chose for me and Milo was girlie pop so i could not hold it together for some scenes.
omg there are so many details in this game, including names, menus, eyes, music and Easter eggs, some of which are not noticed until the second play, I haven't fully found them yet. thank you for this amazing experience!
He's a baby girl and I think the violent one might have swallowed a puppy by accident otherwise I'm not sure how he's making those noises with his mouth.
absolutely DJVIDSVNJIE AMAZING! the detail and attention.. the horror, the gore and all the shit that went down was a rollercoaster but it was so thrilling... i love the twist of the mc being the manipulative one,
I just wanted Milo to be happy.... By the way, I really loved your game! My favorite routes are Milo being manipulative, his personality has become somewhat charming lol
ааа, Здравствуйте!! как человек, борющийся с проблемой недооценённости этой игры (в частности говорю про руфд), просто хотели сказать, что если вдруг вам интересно будет смотреть какой-нибудь контент по игре, то хотим вам рассказать про свой только недавно созданный аккаунт в тт посвещённый perfect love!! там пока не очень много видео, но это только начало продвижения этого шедевра🙏🙏 :) (очень-очень простите за спам(?) (и вы и автор), если вам интересно, тооо юз в тт: @lew_shu2009cmetanka_uwu (НИК РОФЕЛЬНЫЙ ЕСЛИ ЧТО))
Hello there! Unfortunately, I don't know Russian, but if there was someone who does end up translating it, I will for sure add that option inside of the game.
Thank you very much for creating such a perfect work of art! I didn't expect so many people in the comment section to register their accounts for this game like me lol.This game is so charming!
A little spoiler:
I really, really like this game! It really hurts me to see Milo crying and sad at the true end... Then I looked through the True.rpy file in the game and found that there was a new story in the back that I didn't find in the game! It was Milo who knew that Eris was using him, and they finally got the real perfect love ...
This moved me very much, because I felt that they, who had unequal relations, stood in an equal position in this story, and finally Eris said "I love you" to him. In the end, they all made each other a perfect love, and Eris no longer treated Milo like a pet. I like this detail very much! I wonder, is this what will be added in the new version? You know, it really gives me a little comfort, because Milo's collapse was so cruel ...
Yes, the original actually only had one True Ending, but I realized that Eris as a character would never let it happen like that... Milo, I think even though he knew Eris was using him would have always wanted to stay by their side, even if he knew that he was being used...
Unfortunately, that was an old draft of the story, so it's likely not going to be in fruition. Though, I was thinking of adding a little easter egg in the code during an update. Maybe we'll see if Eris will decide to treat him more equally.
oh my fucking GOD. this game is so good and definitely one of the BEST horror/romance visual novels ive ever played (and i have played many). the plot is absolutely insane not to mention the art style?? I LOOVEE ITTTT
Whoa?! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it so very much. The fact that it's the best amongst the various vns/horror novels you've played a big honor. I'm glad you like the artstyle too, I was trying to make it specific to this game, haha.
the plot twist is insane !!!! watched a playthrough where Milo went gangsta mode (ifykwim) and holy shit, I fucking LOVE the plot twist, best fucking dating sim so far, hell fucking yeah. A dating sim THIS good was NOT in my 2024 bingo list /pos. Absolutely enjoyed it
brb gonna go cry now because that ending was so crazy, holy cows 🙏🙏 still enjoyed how Milo's eyes had different colors than in the other route and his cute glasses, adorable !!!
To say I almost cried for Milo is to say NOTHING! My poor, poor baby boi :( I swear I was almost visualizing hugging him and kissing him in the forehead while playing the game. On the positive note, this is one of the most original VNs I've ever seen! Although my heart can't take being cruel to the characters, I was very invested in the game. Fantastic take on yanderes! Thank you very much for such a great story.
Wooooo I played it the last past 3 hours and it was totally worth it I love this game ❤️ this is what I mean when I say want to play a game with an obsessed yandere bf
the mc is also nice I kinda like manipulative or crazy(or both) Mc in games
(I just made this account to make this coment LMAOO)
Holy shit, i loved this game, i don't even know where to start. I stepped around this game because of a gameplay, it was SOO GOOD, the cruel mc idea was pretty genius, i didn't even expect the mc to be like that, i expected the "just another random girl/boy in the world" type of mc, but this mc is straight firee! I also love how there's different ways to change milo, overall, this game is quite better than the other yandere-like games i've seen around the time, keep those brilliant ideas evolving. :)
Cruel MCs are the best. I haven't played too many games that have kind of a cruel/jerk type of MC character (though the ones I have played are always entertaining), so I wanted to make one!
In theory, Milo can have many other forms depending on how they are influenced, so perhaps in another game I can try exploring those ideas. I will do my best to get those ideas going!
God damn I love this game with everything I have. This is amazing! THIS is EVERYTHING i’ve ever wanted in a game and I love how you executed it. The writing, the art, the ui, the animation, I love looking at it sm.
Spoilers:
My favorite milo is violent hehe… I haven’t finished the final ending ‘take all from him’ (i think) yet but bc i have to play through the whole game again I’ll just do it later.
Woo! I'm glad. I tried my best to make everything sort of fit thematically into the story. I'm glad you like it!
Yeah, Violence Milo is pretty cute as he can be hurtful. Scary guys that are like puppies to the person they love are always cute. I hope you'll enjoy the ending for "take all from him".
I was looking through the Yandere tag after Valentine's Day looking for games to enjoy, and I saw this one. I played through all endings in one sitting, and though my heart breaks for Milo because ultimately in the True Ending, it was done so well.
Milo really hit a soft spot in my heart, and the way every single decision led to a different ending, I commend you on the time and effort you must have done to make that happen, with such a lovely and consistent artstyle across the board, I adored all of Milo's sprites, and Eris was always very off-putting and sinister looking.
I honestly never really liked picking the mean options in VNs, but something about the way you wrote Eris was like something that slid into my brain and expanded and mapped over everything.
If it wasn't for her little off-handed comments and Ryan spelling everything out, I would have been absolutely pulled under her spell, just like her other friends that hang around her.
This game was 10/10 for me, and I hope to come back and play it again and again, just to see Milo again and feel the heavy creeping feeling that permeated the game.
And though I called him my love since the beginning, because I always wanted him to feel loved, I think I won't try to aim for the True Ending again, I can't fracture that precious boy again.
I know it wouldn't be possible, but I wish for his happiness.
And, on another vein, I hope for yours too, this was a sublime experience, thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to make this!
Hello! Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad so many people like my game because it took me about a year to fully make it, and for a first release game, that is a very very big task (this game was originally supposed to be far, far smaller).
Eris will do that to you. There's something about the way that evil characters will convince you that everything is okay, even though you know it's not.
That's very sweet that you called him my love since the beginning. Must have been heartbreaking at the end, so I understand why you wouldn't want to get his other end.
I too hope one day for his happiness. We'll see what kind of ideas I may make in the future.
Thank you for your kindness. It really does make me feel really blessed when people comment about my game, whether good or bad, short or long.
what an incredible game!!! i enjoyed it sm, the concept and execution of it is perfect, the art is so great and it fits the story perfectly. i enjoyed this sm, u did a great job w this game <33 also milo is soooo cute (dare i say babygirl coded?)
This game was honestly amazing and I loved every second of it. Honestly it's one of the main reasons why I wanted to create an itch.io account - so I could comment a review because before I just lurked and downloaded games that interested me LOL. The small details in the game really enhanced my enjoyment of the game and I loved going through all the endings and spending time with all the Milos to see how they changed and I apologize in advance for how long this comment will be.
Giving the Milos their own animal sound effects really subtlety portrayed how he changed as a character with Pre-Milo being a rabbit, showing his meekness and how small he felt. Which then he slowly changed into a dog or cat depending on the violence or manipulative route respectively. Violent Milo being given the dog noises accentuated that guard/protective feel and fierce loyalty that violence Milo has and also his commitment to his owner - Eris. Manipulative Milo having the cat noises helped show his change into becoming more cunning and intelligent. How Milo could be agile and stealthy like a cat in social settings.
Other details like the music and the art itself (and I absolutely ADORE the music and cgs) also helped create the game's haunting and eerie atmosphere and made me feel more immersed in it - I felt like I was at the edge of my seat sometimes because I was wondering what Eris wanted to do next with Milo and how far Milo would end up going for them. And some more details I found that were cool were actually in the games code itself! The small things like the MC's names and nicknames you could give to Milo were really funny and nice to read. I dug around a little bit and saw there were hidden messages in the beginning of the game and at the end of each ending that were in morse code and another code (that I'm still working on decoding haha) and they were really really neat to read.
I also really love the the MC/Eris being fucked up, it's not something I seen often, especially in yandere games and I think it was done really well! I also really enjoyed the sort of dramatic irony-ness of cheering for poor cute little Milo but knowing that he would slowly become corrupted by and for Eris.
This game is for sure going to stick with me for a while and I'm excited to see any new things in the future if you intend to do anything more!! With this game or if you intend to create anything else. I'm very sorry for this long review LOL but all in all I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this game and playing it a lot.
Whoa! Thank you so much! I can't believe you made an account because you like this game so much, that's amazing.
Such good interpretations for the music and sfxs. I had a fun time looking for all of them. You're right on the spot though, the SFX for Pre Milo were chosen to make him a lot more pathetic like and small while Violence is more protective but loyal (like a dog) while Manipulation is a lot more cunning and sly (like a cat). For me I think I tried to make sure that most songs were used only once or twice (I think I broke that rule on one, but still pretty good all things considering).
Yes! I was hoping that people would look in the code because I added and left a bunch of stuff when I was making it. A lot of the easter eggs were added because I was sleep deprived and wanted to do something else that wasn't trying to code in the sprites and whatnot, and I plan to add even more when I update it with the extra scenes. Each cypher is actually corresponded to one of the Milo forms, with the one in English just being Eris speaking.
Yeah, I love writing Eris! Sometimes I think they come off as too much of a evil cheesy villain with the way they talk or they're trying to be too serious, but I'm glad you like them! I don't see as many evil or otherwise bad MCs in yandere media in general and I really like the idea that the MC is actually worse than the yandere, which is where the idea came from in the first place. I feel very bad for Milo too but unfortunately I'm mean and he must suffer.
Thank you for writing this long review, I really enjoy reading other people's opinions on things that I make. After the update I'm planning where I add some extra scenes, I am planning on making another much more friendly and goofy world based on the world Valli is from. Perhaps in the future, I'll come back and give Milo a better ending in a different game.

I'm trying to learn English so excuse my bad English.
Anyway, it's really nice to love the game.
Thank you! I appreciate it a lot.
Hello sorry if i am wasting your time but i want to know if this game going to be released for Android? I think than your game was beatiful and i would like to play
I did think about whether or not I will release it for Android, but I will have to get back to you on it after I finish my update.
From my understanding, Android versions are generally a bit more difficult because you have to move everything around to fit onto an android system. Since my game has a more...phone like aspect ratio, it might be a bit easier than one that is more fit for the computer. Don't quote me on that though. I will look into it, but I won't promise anything.
okay thanks for the aswer and sorry for if i as rude or somenthig
This was truly bone chilling, first game to make me feel paranoia and it was written so horrifically wonderfully. I do feel bad for Milo though, even though user below me did state he was already obsessed with us, I feel that we morphed him into a version in which we wanted, essentially still manipulating him to get what we want. Clicked 'take everything' for the true ending, was really sad to see how reader broke him down in the end. 🥹 I don't think I'll have to motivation to do on anything for a bit after playing this, that's how well the horror-ish inclusion was. Thank you for making this game, it took me 2+ hours to play all the endings so it must've taken WAY longer for you to make it. <3
Daww, thank you. I did my best to kind of show the unease of what the main character is doing and just how far they're willing to drag Milo down into that pit.
Funny story, while nearing the end of creating my game, someone did ask me how long the routes were and I was like, "No idea, 10 minutes per route?". And now that I'm watching people on youtube sometimes post this game which are like 4 hours, it makes me laugh just how off I was about the length of the game.
I genuanly don't feel bad for Milo. We don't make him that way he is, its shown through the little things. like how we only chose him because he already adored us. The moment we walk away the first time, he looks at us with obsession. He was already those people, even if we had never even got Ryan to bully him, it feels like he still would have become the insane person he is. Edit: I forgot to include how much I love this game. As someone who is obsessed with yanderes and infactuated with the idea of them, I loved this. I want more things like this, where its a yandere romance but the MC is just as insane.
2nd Edit: I read through some comments and am I weird for choosing Little Bun as my nickname?
What a very interesting take! It is true, Milo does have a lot of yandere tendencies, even before Eris meets him, so it is very likely that no matter who he attached on, his yandere tendencies would only grow, but to what degree, that remains to be seen.
Same, that's why I made this game! I think that this concept should be more explored in yandere media.
No, I think that's an absolutely adorable nickname, haha.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. I love seeing the different versions of Milo and the endings. I finished it all in a single day including both the true endings. I have no regrets. The shortcut I made on my desktop allowed me to choose the different option for the true ending without it deleting my other endings (it did take my saves but ig I don't really need that anymore) So now I just have two versions of the game on my desktop, one reset and one with all the endings. Wish I could have seen his reaction to me saving the game files like some kind of Doki-Doki literature club reference or something but oh well. Also *Spoilers* when Ryan became a jerk in the explosion ending, it immediately took away all the pity I had for him in the other endings. Anyways thank you for creating exactly the kind of game I was looking for. I'm going to obsess over this game for months now <3
also I got the easter eggs for both cat milo and original milo but when I saw the easter egg for dog milo I didn't know you could click on it so i missed it :((
Very dedicated! If I knew how to code in the reactions to save files, I think it would have tried to do it, because that does sound very fun. I was planning to have something if you moved your saves before it was all deleted and you placed it back into the game, but I still have to fiddle around with it.
Ryan, you were home free, just couldn't help but get a few kicks in. Thank you for enjoying it. As for the easter eggs, you can still access Violence/Dog Milo if you go on his route and then return to the main menu. You just have to wait until you see his Violence Sprite.
yeah I’ll get it eventually
I believe in you and your coding abilities! You got this!! I’m not sure if Milo would be amused or upset at us getting our files back because he seemed pretty upset at us before the reset…
THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD??
It's difficult for me to find Yandere themed VNs that I personally like, since my taste is really picky, so playing this game really amazed me in the way it was a unique thing. I Also pretty much enjoyed the artsyle, since that also adds onto it's uniqueness (I can't describe what I actually mean since I'm natively speaking German </33). The length in game and story really made me enjoy the time I was playing it through, it got me curious if other games were planned since I feel like they will be more than amazing as well. :3 I Was sad when finding out there was no content or edits of this on tiktok or pinterest.
(might just make a fan account myself then...)Sorry for such long text btw, I just cant get over the fact of how good this game is :,>
Oh?? Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the artstyle for this game because I made it specifically for this one (and because it was originally for a game jam and I was like, mm, yeah having full colored game sounds awful to try to cram everything in).
The next game I'm planning on releasing was actually a game that I was working on before this game, which is called Alpha's Day Off! The tone is far more light hearted than this one and more funny too, so I'm not sure if the fans of this game will vibe with the new game. I guess we'll see.
If you do make an edits let me know, I want to see them.
Omg the vn was so awesome it's hard to believe it's an indie game.
Spoiler I loved the wall ending and burning down the building one, idk how to get the wedding ending lol :p
Thank you! Wall ending is actually based off of one of my friend's favorite type of yanderes and the burning one is based off of Heathers. If you are still having a difficult time getting the other endings, I do have a guide you can look at.
I LOVE THIS GAME, I LOVE MILO N I LOVE YOU, THE CREATOR
I love you back! And Milo too!
this is probably the best visual novel I've seen in a good while. I played through all the endings twice (mainly to get both true endings) and goly its SO GOOD. The art is scrumptious too
Woah! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
OH EM GOSH!!! I positively ADORED this game! like all of the little details are so crazy cool.
Before I go into a rant about how cool this game is, small spoiler warning.
Okay, the way you went out of your way to add cat sound affects when you went down the party routes and dog sound affects when you went down the batting cage routes is so wonderfully vivid and it was such a fun thing to notice on my first playthrough.
The messy, frantic artsyle of the entire game adds so much to the experience and the amount of art youve managed to pack in there is super impressive. Plus all of it has this grand amount of espressiveness to it that really makes the game come to life! One of my personal favorite details was the way that Milo flicks his earing while talking in the party route, it adds such a layer of personality to him.
This detail took me a second to notice but I found it SO cool is how you change the background of each characters nametag to symbolize who they are as a person or their role in the game, and for Milo, how his name tag changes throughout the game to symbolize his change. Its especially cool how every nametag image is an eye motif. My personal favorite was Valli's, i love the stroking lines and rigid nature of it, which seems to reflect her outwardly brash personality. Correct me if im wronng but the middle arms or tendrils or whatever of it almost look like their holding drum sticks (not the food but the instrument kind just to clarify).
Desmonds is cool because it showcases how he sees whats going on, but isnt entirely active in whats happening. A weary observer.
And as for Seph, we dont see much of him in the game so I honestly dont really know but I do know it looks super cool with the little markings around it.
And Milos, the squinted eye slowly opening into an eye that looks down, as if meeting Eris' gaze, in the party route, or up, as if blindly following Eris, in the batting cage route? yet again SO COOL!!!
Additionally, I loved the development with Ryans story and backstory, and how to find out all of the details of Ryans story (and Eris' part in it) you have to play through pretty much all of the routes. It made each new route played feel all that more gratifying!
This is a smaller one, but how the MC's og name is Eris, after the goddess of strife and discord, was also such a cool detail.
Plus the loading and save screens changing depending on which route/part of the game youre on? AMAZING.
I know ive probably gushed a bit too much in this review, but the long and short of it is that you did a killer job with this game and id reccomend it to any and everyone. The amount of work and detail youve put into it, along with the fun gameplay and wicked story line make for a truly unique and enjoyable game. I hope to see more works of yours in the future!
Whoa, thank you so much for this long review! I love reading reviews for my game, it's so much fun.
Yeah, the effects were something I did kind of impromptu while I was adding in the different sfx since I thought it would be a good way to foreshadow what kind of person Milo ends up being depending on what route you take. I (tried to) slowly mix it before they became their new version so you can kind of feel the progression of what they're turning into.
For the expressions (I guess, specifically for the sprites), it was my first time using layered image, but the process is very similar to a type of game modding I like to do, so I kind of went overboard on the expressions. Pretty much every line has a slight expression change for the sprite that you're viewing, which now that I think about it, is kind of insane. But I've always been a big fan of adding in small details like that in games. I wanted to give each version of Milo a specific habit that they might do, like with Pre Milo he hops like a bunny (or binkying, as I've heard) when he's happy, and certain sounds that the Milos make are associated with their mood and whatnot. I'm glad that my previous modding experience let me add in all these things naturally.
Ooh, I'm glad you noticed the name tags! For Valli, I was actually going more for the circuits that a USB or computer has to associate her more with her tech side since we don't really see too much of it in the scene that she's in.
I like your interpretation on Desmond's! I actually don't quite remember what I was going for there... Probably something associated with his anger since he actually has really bad anger issues he deals with.
For Seph, he's supposed to be in a (possible) future game where he (and two other love interests) get lost in a forest with a giant ancient sadistic being that's trying to get out. You are that giant ancient sadistic being. His nametag was an idea of the kinds of symbols that are associated with more ancient drawings you might see. Since there's three different forms I wanted to try out for the MC of that game, I wanted to make it a bit vague. There is some extra lines for him if you use either Cryptic, Abyss or Primal as the MC's name.
Yup!! You totally got it. It also mimics the eyeshapes that the Milos have when turning into their other forms. Easter egg, Ryan and Poison (that's the fighter you see in Violence's route) have the same name tag as the MC. This is because they are both aware and part of the plan of what the MC is trying to make Milo into. You'll also notice that they have an eye design somewhere on them, which is wide open, fully aware of what the MC is doing and powerless to stop them. The two Milos also have eye motifs on their designs but they are never open fully.
Ooh, that's great! I am planning to have an extra story involving Eris and Ryan's past, specifically what Eris has on the USB that is so incriminating. Hopefully that will be something fun to look forward to.
Thank you! I think Eris suits them as a good default name and I'm really glad that you enjoyed the details! Makes putting them in worth it.
Daww, you recommend it to people! That's so cool- I'm always shocked when people recommend my game to others. My next game will be a lot more light hearted, based of characters in Valli's world, called Alpha's Day Off! It's actually the game I was working on before this one. I'm not sure if the people who like this game will enjoy that one, but I hope you'll stick around and try it out.
This was such a beautifully made game, as someone who is super gentle it hurt me to be so cruel to Milo AAA. But having those feelings evoked is what makes this game so amazing, it truly is well made in every shape of form and you should be so proud of yourself for making such an awesome game filled with well written characters with lovely designs and one of the best plotlines/storylines I have ever had the blessing to experience! AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT EVERYTHING IS SO DETAILED ITS INSANE, FROM THE SAVES/OVERWRITING SAVES TO THE TOP OF THE SAVE/LOAD SCREEN YOU SEE HIS CHARACTER IN DIFFERENT ROUTES CHANGE AND SO FORTH!
Also Milo has got to be my ultimate favourite character of the year now, he is truly so adorable, whether he is violent, manipulative or his original self, every bit of his character and their endings were all super interesting and once again beautiful <33!
Thank you for this wonderful game! It holds dear in my heart now <333!
Ohh! Thank you! Yes, hurting Milo is always a sad thing, but it had to be done to unlock his full potential (at least, Eris thinks so). Thank you so much!! I'm really happy that you enjoy that detail in there.
Heck yeah! I'm happy that you like him so much- all of his versions!
I. Fucking. Love. This. Game.
I am OBSESSED, I have to have played it through like 12 times by now OML. Milo is the best <3 You're so talented, this game is so good!!!
12?! That's a lot of times, I'm sure Milo is so very happy that you wanted to spend so much time with him.
Thank you! This is my first (released) renpy game, so I'm really happy that you enjoyed it so much!
I didn't realize how serious the game got and used the nickname 'little bitch boy' I also didn't know he would call me that as well BUT it was funny in all honesty. It's a great game and I spent an hour and a half playing to get the endings!
Haha, one of my playtesters did something similar and it's always really fun seeing what kind of nicknames people choose, both more cutesy and more funny! Thank you! I'm glad you liked playing it.
i love milo so, so much! i spent so much time trying to find every little easter eggs! great game, i really enjoyed it and milo's character as well hes such a cutie ( i played the whole game twice to have the two options..) ! i noticed a few bugs with the text but i don't know if it was on purpose for the scary side? if not i can tell you where i spotted those bugs!
Thank you! It makes me very happy people are looking for Easter Eggs in my game.
Do tell me what kind of bugs you had with the text. If it's what I think it is, it might be related to the font I chose, but please let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Here is the few bugs i noticed while playing ! : " You're my everything so i can't... " during the rough Milo run, it's a few line after Eris got attacked a second time by the gang member
" Eris! A-Are you alright? What happened? " With rough Milo when you choose the blue eyes after Ryan stole the USB
" Why are you even talking to my girlfriend..." With the sly Milo when choosing blue eyes after Ryan stole the USB
To describe the bug it's just the text that's duplicated, i'm a mac player if it have anything to do with it, hope i helped!
Ahh, thank you. I think the bug you're describing has something to do with the font I used. I think I might have to use a different font for the game to fix that.
Ohh!! Thank you so much!! I can't wait to watch it.
vi por acidente no YT desconhecia curti o visual parei logo em 0.1 segundos vim para essa pagina e me chamou a atençao e estou muito empolgado para experimentar, triste por não poder doar nada agora, mas pretendo.
I saw it by accident on YT, I didn't know, I liked the look, I stopped after 0.1 seconds, I came to this page and it caught my attention and I'm very excited to try it, sad that I can't donate anything now, but I intend to.
Ohh, thank you very much! I hope you enjoy playing the game though and decide if it's worth donating to haha.
oh my gosh!!!!! amazing!!! I spent 3 hours doing the normal endings and another hour doing the true ending and finding all the easter eggs to other vns <3 one of the best games ive played in a while and i have played A LOT (I had a whole list up of vns I played when puting names and nicknames in lmao) I love milo sm
3 hours?? That's a long time. I'm so happy you were able to have fun while finding the other Easter Eggs! I've played a lot of vns as well so I tried to put as many as I could in there. I will likely add more during the update as well.
THIS IS FUCKED UP. and ily for that
Good, all according to keikaku.
how do i get the true ending??
Check in the walkthroughs, it should be the last part.
wait, am i allowed to say it in the comments?
Alright guys, we got the wrong person, obviously there was another person procrastinating during research study and playing all 10 endings in one sitting.
He really, really did.
this was awesome I LOVE MILO and kinda feel bad for him but oh well love is crazy sometimes, do hope you make more games in the future since this was a banger and the sounds the characters made were pretty adorable (also the music was great)
Haha, thank you very much!
My next game will be a lot more goofy and more chilled out, and it's based off existing ocs, aka characters from Valli's universe, specifically. I will have a couple of extra stories that relate to them interacting with characters in this universe.
I'm sorry for my poor English，So I have to use translation software to communicate，This is the first time I've ever talked to an author from another country！This is a really good game，I love this game！！！I was really impressed with Milo's characterization and story！！This game deeply touched me! I'll say it again this game is amazing！I also have a question，If I want to draw fan pictures，Can I create a new character to be in love with Milo? Sorry again for my poor English, I don't know how to express it tactfully, I hope this question doesn't offend you!I do not deny that the original image of the protagonist is not good, on the contrary, I really like the madness of the protagonist! But I don't know if the protagonist is an exact image, if you see and answer it, thank you very much!
Whoa! Thank you so much for playing this game, and especially trying to play it in another language! I hope it wasn't too much of a difficult experience or anything! But it does sound like you had a good time!
Yes, of course! I don't mind if you want to draw your own character or even other characters with Milo, in fact, I very much encourage any type of fanart or fancreation! I really like fanart hahaha.
I loved his game so much!!! The music, art, and story were perfect it was so good i just can not. it was way too good this game is my perfect love. also the nickname I chose for me and Milo was girlie pop so i could not hold it together for some scenes.
Haha, girlie pop, that's a good nickname. I'm glad you liked it!!!
omg there are so many details in this game, including names, menus, eyes, music and Easter eggs, some of which are not noticed until the second play, I haven't fully found them yet. thank you for this amazing experience!
Thank you for playing it! I'm really glad you noticed all the details I was able to put in, haha.
Awww Milo sounds like a puppy
He's a baby girl and I think the violent one might have swallowed a puppy by accident otherwise I'm not sure how he's making those noises with his mouth.
absolutely DJVIDSVNJIE AMAZING! the detail and attention.. the horror, the gore and all the shit that went down was a rollercoaster but it was so thrilling... i love the twist of the mc being the manipulative one,
defo would play again <3
Ohh?? The horror! The tragedy. I love a good manipulative mc too, it's very fun. Thank you!
I just wanted Milo to be happy.... By the way, I really loved your game! My favorite routes are Milo being manipulative, his personality has become somewhat charming lol
Oh man, sorry I for some reason missed replying to this.
Thank you! Manipulation is pretty fun. I imagine him like one of those car salesmen you can't say no to.
will there be a translation into Russian?
ааа, Здравствуйте!! как человек, борющийся с проблемой недооценённости этой игры (в частности говорю про руфд), просто хотели сказать, что если вдруг вам интересно будет смотреть какой-нибудь контент по игре, то хотим вам рассказать про свой только недавно созданный аккаунт в тт посвещённый perfect love!! там пока не очень много видео, но это только начало продвижения этого шедевра🙏🙏 :) (очень-очень простите за спам(?) (и вы и автор), если вам интересно, тооо юз в тт: @lew_shu2009cmetanka_uwu (НИК РОФЕЛЬНЫЙ ЕСЛИ ЧТО))
я бы с радостью , но у меня старый тикток
я плачу
Hello there! Unfortunately, I don't know Russian, but if there was someone who does end up translating it, I will for sure add that option inside of the game.
Thank you very much for creating such a perfect work of art! I didn't expect so many people in the comment section to register their accounts for this game like me lol.This game is so charming!
A little spoiler:
I really, really like this game! It really hurts me to see Milo crying and sad at the true end... Then I looked through the True.rpy file in the game and found that there was a new story in the back that I didn't find in the game! It was Milo who knew that Eris was using him, and they finally got the real perfect love ...
This moved me very much, because I felt that they, who had unequal relations, stood in an equal position in this story, and finally Eris said "I love you" to him. In the end, they all made each other a perfect love, and Eris no longer treated Milo like a pet. I like this detail very much! I wonder, is this what will be added in the new version? You know, it really gives me a little comfort, because Milo's collapse was so cruel ...
Haha, thank you so much!
Yes, the original actually only had one True Ending, but I realized that Eris as a character would never let it happen like that... Milo, I think even though he knew Eris was using him would have always wanted to stay by their side, even if he knew that he was being used...
Unfortunately, that was an old draft of the story, so it's likely not going to be in fruition. Though, I was thinking of adding a little easter egg in the code during an update. Maybe we'll see if Eris will decide to treat him more equally.
oh my fucking GOD. this game is so good and definitely one of the BEST horror/romance visual novels ive ever played (and i have played many). the plot is absolutely insane not to mention the art style?? I LOOVEE ITTTT
Whoa?! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it so very much. The fact that it's the best amongst the various vns/horror novels you've played a big honor. I'm glad you like the artstyle too, I was trying to make it specific to this game, haha.
the plot twist is insane !!!! watched a playthrough where Milo went gangsta mode (ifykwim) and holy shit, I fucking LOVE the plot twist, best fucking dating sim so far, hell fucking yeah. A dating sim THIS good was NOT in my 2024 bingo list /pos. Absolutely enjoyed it
Hahahaha. He's great but what about party Milo? He seems like a totally nice guy, not at all trying to get your credit card info.
Hooray! I was hoping for people to make walkthroughs of this game. Though, if it's the one I think it is, that video is missing the perfect ending.
hm.. then i'll try to get the perfect ending myself then, wouldn't hurt to see Milo again ^_^ looking forward for your new projects!!
brb gonna go cry now because that ending was so crazy, holy cows 🙏🙏 still enjoyed how Milo's eyes had different colors than in the other route and his cute glasses, adorable !!!
Oh, there there. I like adding little accessories to Milo- it makes his whole journey feel a little less worse, you know?
so addictive, Milo's badboy routes were my favs, I would do anything for a boy like him <3 luv this game
Anything you say? I hope you hold to your word...
But thank you! I'm really happy you like it.
To say I almost cried for Milo is to say NOTHING!
My poor, poor baby boi :( I swear I was almost visualizing hugging him and kissing him in the forehead while playing the game.
On the positive note, this is one of the most original VNs I've ever seen! Although my heart can't take being cruel to the characters, I was very invested in the game. Fantastic take on yanderes! Thank you very much for such a great story.
Oh, I know, I do feel bad for Milo. His fate is sealed though.
Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad it was a unique experience for you!
Wooooo I played it the last past 3 hours and it was totally worth it I love this game ❤️ this is what I mean when I say want to play a game with an obsessed yandere bf
the mc is also nice I kinda like manipulative or crazy(or both) Mc in games
Thanks for this great game 🥰
Three hours? Dang, I still don't know how long it takes to complete this game. Gotta have that obsessive yandere bf in those games, right?
Yeah! I love manipulative/crazy Mcs too! That's why Eris was born for better or for worse.
OMG I LOVED THIS GAME WHAT. MY FAV ENDINGS ARE THE BURNING ONE (was giving heathers) AND THE KILLER ONE, THEYRE SO CUTE. I LOVE MILO SM, HES SO CUTE
That one was actually inspired by Heathers! Killer has one of my favorite CGs in Violence's routes as well.
OMG I KNEW ITTT, YESS THE CGS SO PRETTY, THANK YOU SM FOR MAKING THIS GAME ITS AMAZING I LOVE YOU!!!
(I just made this account to make this coment LMAOO)
Holy shit, i loved this game, i don't even know where to start. I stepped around this game because of a gameplay, it was SOO GOOD, the cruel mc idea was pretty genius, i didn't even expect the mc to be like that, i expected the "just another random girl/boy in the world" type of mc, but this mc is straight firee! I also love how there's different ways to change milo, overall, this game is quite better than the other yandere-like games i've seen around the time, keep those brilliant ideas evolving. :)
You made an account? For me??
Cruel MCs are the best. I haven't played too many games that have kind of a cruel/jerk type of MC character (though the ones I have played are always entertaining), so I wanted to make one!
In theory, Milo can have many other forms depending on how they are influenced, so perhaps in another game I can try exploring those ideas. I will do my best to get those ideas going!
God damn I love this game with everything I have. This is amazing! THIS is EVERYTHING i’ve ever wanted in a game and I love how you executed it. The writing, the art, the ui, the animation, I love looking at it sm.
Spoilers:
My favorite milo is violent hehe… I haven’t finished the final ending ‘take all from him’ (i think) yet but bc i have to play through the whole game again I’ll just do it later.
Woo! I'm glad. I tried my best to make everything sort of fit thematically into the story. I'm glad you like it!
Yeah, Violence Milo is pretty cute as he can be hurtful. Scary guys that are like puppies to the person they love are always cute. I hope you'll enjoy the ending for "take all from him".
I was looking through the Yandere tag after Valentine's Day looking for games to enjoy, and I saw this one. I played through all endings in one sitting, and though my heart breaks for Milo because ultimately in the True Ending, it was done so well.
Milo really hit a soft spot in my heart, and the way every single decision led to a different ending, I commend you on the time and effort you must have done to make that happen, with such a lovely and consistent artstyle across the board, I adored all of Milo's sprites, and Eris was always very off-putting and sinister looking.
I honestly never really liked picking the mean options in VNs, but something about the way you wrote Eris was like something that slid into my brain and expanded and mapped over everything.
If it wasn't for her little off-handed comments and Ryan spelling everything out, I would have been absolutely pulled under her spell, just like her other friends that hang around her.
This game was 10/10 for me, and I hope to come back and play it again and again, just to see Milo again and feel the heavy creeping feeling that permeated the game.
And though I called him my love since the beginning, because I always wanted him to feel loved, I think I won't try to aim for the True Ending again, I can't fracture that precious boy again.
I know it wouldn't be possible, but I wish for his happiness.
And, on another vein, I hope for yours too, this was a sublime experience, thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to make this!
Hello! Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad so many people like my game because it took me about a year to fully make it, and for a first release game, that is a very very big task (this game was originally supposed to be far, far smaller).
Eris will do that to you. There's something about the way that evil characters will convince you that everything is okay, even though you know it's not.
That's very sweet that you called him my love since the beginning. Must have been heartbreaking at the end, so I understand why you wouldn't want to get his other end.
I too hope one day for his happiness. We'll see what kind of ideas I may make in the future.
Thank you for your kindness. It really does make me feel really blessed when people comment about my game, whether good or bad, short or long.
what an incredible game!!! i enjoyed it sm, the concept and execution of it is perfect, the art is so great and it fits the story perfectly. i enjoyed this sm, u did a great job w this game <33 also milo is soooo cute (dare i say babygirl coded?)
Thank you so much! And yes, Milo is babygirl. Maybe too babygirl...
i curse eris with every fiber of my being and being the sheer form of id that they are, left me dumbfounded.
thank you for sharing ur talent game dev !!!
and lastly,
milo 🥹 (i'm here >__< for u) i love you !!!
#freecinnamonroll
Eris would probably laugh at that. Milo loves you too! But I don't know if he'll ever be free.
This game was honestly amazing and I loved every second of it. Honestly it's one of the main reasons why I wanted to create an itch.io account - so I could comment a review because before I just lurked and downloaded games that interested me LOL. The small details in the game really enhanced my enjoyment of the game and I loved going through all the endings and spending time with all the Milos to see how they changed and I apologize in advance for how long this comment will be.
Giving the Milos their own animal sound effects really subtlety portrayed how he changed as a character with Pre-Milo being a rabbit, showing his meekness and how small he felt. Which then he slowly changed into a dog or cat depending on the violence or manipulative route respectively. Violent Milo being given the dog noises accentuated that guard/protective feel and fierce loyalty that violence Milo has and also his commitment to his owner - Eris. Manipulative Milo having the cat noises helped show his change into becoming more cunning and intelligent. How Milo could be agile and stealthy like a cat in social settings.
Other details like the music and the art itself (and I absolutely ADORE the music and cgs) also helped create the game's haunting and eerie atmosphere and made me feel more immersed in it - I felt like I was at the edge of my seat sometimes because I was wondering what Eris wanted to do next with Milo and how far Milo would end up going for them. And some more details I found that were cool were actually in the games code itself! The small things like the MC's names and nicknames you could give to Milo were really funny and nice to read. I dug around a little bit and saw there were hidden messages in the beginning of the game and at the end of each ending that were in morse code and another code (that I'm still working on decoding haha) and they were really really neat to read.
I also really love the the MC/Eris being fucked up, it's not something I seen often, especially in yandere games and I think it was done really well! I also really enjoyed the sort of dramatic irony-ness of cheering for poor cute little Milo but knowing that he would slowly become corrupted by and for Eris.
This game is for sure going to stick with me for a while and I'm excited to see any new things in the future if you intend to do anything more!! With this game or if you intend to create anything else. I'm very sorry for this long review LOL but all in all I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this game and playing it a lot.
Whoa! Thank you so much! I can't believe you made an account because you like this game so much, that's amazing.
Such good interpretations for the music and sfxs. I had a fun time looking for all of them. You're right on the spot though, the SFX for Pre Milo were chosen to make him a lot more pathetic like and small while Violence is more protective but loyal (like a dog) while Manipulation is a lot more cunning and sly (like a cat). For me I think I tried to make sure that most songs were used only once or twice (I think I broke that rule on one, but still pretty good all things considering).
Yes! I was hoping that people would look in the code because I added and left a bunch of stuff when I was making it. A lot of the easter eggs were added because I was sleep deprived and wanted to do something else that wasn't trying to code in the sprites and whatnot, and I plan to add even more when I update it with the extra scenes. Each cypher is actually corresponded to one of the Milo forms, with the one in English just being Eris speaking.
Yeah, I love writing Eris! Sometimes I think they come off as too much of a evil cheesy villain with the way they talk or they're trying to be too serious, but I'm glad you like them! I don't see as many evil or otherwise bad MCs in yandere media in general and I really like the idea that the MC is actually worse than the yandere, which is where the idea came from in the first place. I feel very bad for Milo too but unfortunately I'm mean and he must suffer.
Thank you for writing this long review, I really enjoy reading other people's opinions on things that I make. After the update I'm planning where I add some extra scenes, I am planning on making another much more friendly and goofy world based on the world Valli is from. Perhaps in the future, I'll come back and give Milo a better ending in a different game.
