The Man of My Dreams
Please note that most of the music in this version still needs to be updated, and there's no music after the demo section. We plan to add an update with new music and other small improvements by the end of this month. The current game is complete and you can play it until the end!
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?
Gaslighting, manipulation, stalking, kidnapping, obsessiveness, injuries, comas
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.
The game features:
- 3 endings
- Over 32k words
- An original soundtrack
- Full CGs
- Improved sprites
- Animated scenes
- New detailed backgrounds
- ... And a major new character!

请问可不可以出一个中文版的啊？我一下就被吸引住了，只是可惜有很多字我看不懂。
Hi! Thank you so much, and thank you for catching that! It will be fixed in the next update.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVED IT!!! was so shocked by the plot twist but it was legit beautiful!!
Such a beautiful game - both from a visual and literary standpoint.
I didn't expect this to make me emotional but it did TT
Beautiful job!!!
loved this !! def didnt expect that plot twist at all omg.. also idk if its on purpose but the music stops working after the "demo" ends and the new story begins :( im on mac so idk if its just for us or for everyone? again i loved this game !! <33
Thank you for playing, and I’m glad you enjoyed it! The music stopping is on purpose; the music isn’t finished yet.
ohh okay that makes sense !! im glad that is wasnt a real issue then <3333
Wow, what a plot-twist! That was the last thing I suspected going into it.
SPOILERS BELOW.
Sky my beloved <3. The effort this man put into making a world where he thought MC would be happy, omg. If the fact there were no NPCs wasn’t pointed out to me, I don’t think I would’ve noticed anything was wrong; I just thought Maksim’s route was faster paced than in the original due to Yandere shenanigans.
A ways into the ‘reveal’ cutscene, the screen just turns to black in the browser and doesn’t allow me to move forward.
Thank you for the report! We’ll look into it and hopefully have a fix in the next few days.
Do you know which line of the script it happened in?
After this line here:
Thank you! We’ll look into it.
I sadly can't start the game because this is the first thing I see :,(
Hi! Which version of the game are you playing?
HI! I'm playing version 1.0
Sorry, I misspoke. Are you playing the PC, Mac, or web version?
I'm playing the pc version :)
Deleting the 'french' folder from the 'game/tl' would fix the issue probably, but that would be a temporary fix
Perfection! <3
this is so underrated!!!
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🖤
THIS RECENTLY CAME OUT?????????????????????? HOW I DID NOT SEE THIS, ILL DEFINITELY TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wonder if the full game will be with money?
No, it will be free!
Am going 2 play it :3
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
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT ALREADY AND THE ART STYLE IS MAJESTIC !
Thanks! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. And I agree; the artists did a fantastic job!
