The Man of My Dreams [Demo]
Summary
You're at a pool party, trying and failing to make friends, when someone accidentally pushes you off the second floor deck, sending you plummeting. When you come to, you find yourself in the world of your favorite visual novel, Echoes of the Skies. While confused at first, you realize this is the perfect opportunity to try and befriend your favorite character of all time, the fictional love of your life! But he's supposed to be cold, aloof, and really hard to befriend. Why's he already so…clingy?
Warnings
Gaslighting, manipulation, stalking, kidnapping, obsessiveness, injuries, comas
Notes
Despite this being labeled a yandere game, it is planned as less intense than many others in the genre. There won’t be any murder, gore, or anything of the sort. If you’re here expecting a capital-H Horror, you may be disappointed!
Keep in mind that the goal of the game isn't necessarily to get in a romance with Maksim.
The MC is invisible and nameable, but they also have their own personality and will probably do things you wouldn’t.
Demo features
- Nameable MC who is never referred to in the third person (so they can have any pronouns!)
- Over 8.5k words
Full game will feature
- 3 endings
- 20-30k words

Thanks so much for playing! I really enjoyed watching your playthrough, and I’m glad you like the art! I’m lucky that so many amazing artists signed up for the project.
VERY INTRIGUED... i already have some suspicions about maksim, and some about emilio as well... on the topic of emilio. i rlly like his chest. we don't get enough hairy chested men in visual novels. thank you for giving the world more hairy chested men <3
Thank you! The team got a kick out of your comment. (You have the character designer and sprite artist to thank for Emilio’s hairy chest; my only contribution was specifying Emilio should show more skin than Maksim!)
Glad you enjoyed, and I look forward to showing you the rest of it.
🤍GREAT GAME🖤

I just wonder if the full game will be with money?
No, it will be free!

God, this was SOOOO good!!!!
I could relate a whole lot to the MC, some lines even made me tear up T_T The story is very interesting too, I'm very intrigued by what's happening and why certaing things aren't as MC remembers!
I was honestly sad that the DEMO ended 'cause I wanted to keep reading xD
The art was also fantastic!!
Really looking forward to the full-game!! <3
Ah, thank you so much! I’m ecstatic you took the time to comment.
I’m glad you could connect with the MC. I may have drawn on experience for them. Just a little. And I’m excited to show you what happens next!
The fact that you wanted to keep reading is a huge compliment.
I’m so happy you like the art; we got some amazing artists for this game, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
I really like the premise of the demo! :D Very excited to see how Maksim further diverges from what the MC expects hehe
Thank you! We have a lot of fun stuff planned for the full game, that’s for sure!
Oh good, hard core yans can be a bit much.
I love the writing and art style of this game so much! I can't wait for the full release <3
