About The Perfectionist

The Perfectionist is a game that allows for a lot of trial and error and offers plenty of freedom in deciding your fate. The slightest action or decision could ultimately change the story and ending. For example, the player can beat the game without freeing and recruiting any of the other party members but you'll most likely get a bad ending. However, if the player recruits more party members; new rooms, puzzles, side missions and bonuses may be unlocked but the difficulty of the game will overwhelmingly increase.

As for the story you play as Dillan, a former thug who lived a life of crime on the streets. Him, along with numerous other criminals have been detained in a top secret research facility run by the twisted, Professor Phillips. He wants to better society and is on the verge of creating a chemical solution with many medicinal benefits. For his research, however, he needs human experiments and prefers using criminals as a form of justice. After years of torment and inhumane experimentation, Dillan manages to escape from his cell. The overly paranoid professor keeps everything locked in his facility, especially the front doors. To escape from Phillips' research facility, Dillan must collect 8 Code Pages in order to gain the access codes for the entrance doors. This however, will be no easy task. Danger lurks in every corner and room as security guards patrol the halls, security robots are on the hunt for you, and dangerous traps and puzzles await to hinder your mission. Venture through the cold and deadly halls alone, save other research experiments and have them aid in your escape, or even customize your own battle robot to help eliminate any threats that stand in your way!

Can you escape from the facility?

The Perfectionist delivers a charming, concept-driven retro adventure and puzzle experience built entirely within the structural framework of the RPG Maker MV engine. Rather than attempting to challenge modern high-budget production benchmarks, the design layout shifts its primary motivational framework to classic grid-based navigation, stealth matrices, and localized asset-evasive loops centered around escaping a dystopian research facility. An analysis of current community metrics reveals a highly favorable, very positive platform standing, indicating that the title’s self-aware approach to indie progression systems and puzzle variety successfully satisfies the engagement demands of its casual target audience.From a technical design standpoint, the lightweight application operations demonstrate stable performance execution, eliminating processing demands on any compatible setup to maintain fluid interaction loops even during heavy sprite saturation or puzzle re-triggering. The integration of ally recruitment systems and customizable robotic asset modification adds a layer of genuine mechanical variety to what could have otherwise been a linear evasion loop. However, from an analy…

A perfectly decent free game to showcase what RPGMaker MV can do without relying too much on custom scripts. The story is interesting enough to keep playing, the combats are well balanced, exploration is rewarded, what more do you need? And it's free.

RPG Maker strikes again! "The Perfectionist" is one of the many low effort projects made with an easy-to-use construction kit made for children to use, in Kadokawa's own words, "These easy to use tools are simple enough for a child". It's a kitbash of asset flipped RPG Maker stock assets and cringe high school fan fiction. This RPG Maker asset flip is exactly what we expect from RPG Maker asset flips on Steam Direct, and suffers from all the same problems that lead gamers to widely shun RPG Maker and the fan-fictions made with it. This high school anime club dropout fan-fiction does differ slightly in that it's got an anime hacker/sci-fi theme instead of the anime fantasy theme. But the writing being all about the developer and his harem of imaginary anime girlfriends (you don't know them, they go to a different school, in Canada) remains the same, pure, weaponized cringe. As with all RPG Maker games, this is the result of a really bad game engine being misused. Like all RPG Maker "games", it looks bad in fullscreen and lacks HD support or graphics options. This is not acceptable for modern PC gamers. The argument must be made that construction kit toys like RPG Maker are in…

Игра «The Perfectionist» — это психологический триллер с необычным подходом к повествованию. Сюжет разворачивается вокруг перфекциониста, который пытается восстановить свою жизнь, сталкиваясь с внутренними конфликтами и давлением общества. Атмосфера напряжённая, сюжет заставляет задуматься о цене идеальности. Визуальные метафоры и интерактивные элементы подчёркивают тему. Однако сюжет может показаться медленным, а финал — предсказуемым. Для любителей глубоких историй и психологических игр — отличный выбор.

This is a great little game with lovable characters and lots of little mini-games included. Disappointingly, I've got stuck near the end and can't quite finish it. If anyone knows where the Robot Assembly Keycard is, do let me know!

I was enjoying this game after searching many RPGs on Steam and only a small amount of those are mouse enabled. So I was glad to find this game. BUT, I HATE races, and the Hacking mnigame is essentially a race. Needless to say, I am uninstalling and moving on. Sad, it was great up until that point.
