The Perfectionist

The Perfectionist is a game about escaping a research facility as Dillan, a former street thug held there for human experimentation. After years of torment, Dillan breaks out of his cell and must find 8 Code Pages to obtain the access codes for the entrance doors. Security guards patrol the halls, security robots hunt for him, and traps and puzzles obstruct his escape.

Story and choices

The facility belongs to Professor Phillips, who wants to improve society by creating a chemical solution with medicinal benefits. His research uses criminals as human experiments, which he considers a form of justice. You can try to escape alone, or rescue other experiments and recruit them to help. Your decisions can change the story and its ending, and the game has 10 different endings.

Party and difficulty

You can play solo or recruit optional party members. New rooms, puzzles, side missions and bonuses may become available as you recruit more people, but the game’s difficulty increases significantly. It is possible to finish without freeing or recruiting anyone, though this is likely to lead to a bad ending.

Ways to survive

You can sneak past enemies or trigger random encounters. You can also customize a battle robot by upgrading its stats and skills, then use it to help eliminate threats. The game includes in-game achievements.
