-SLIGHT SPOILER-* Would recommend to esp before the sequel! :D *
Ive been meaning to play this so when I could actually get to it O.M.G
I thought I got "you know who" organically and I was stoked then the twist happened and its like "WHOA NO WAY" and then he read the first half of my first-name and referencing Ybf and Ayano-
And when I tell you my jaw dropped and I had to look at the invisible camera! LOL
hehehehehe I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Ok, I really liked the twist in this game! I fully was expecting for it to be some sort of stat raiser or something like that. Like I was gen clicking different dialogue options trying to figure out how to get all the pictures, and I didn't notice at first how the test was really working, because I put the same answers every time, but once I realized what the loop meant, just wow! Plus, that final image of them all together really hit me in the feels.
Hehe thank you so much for playing! I Was worried people would catch on too fast and realize what was happening but I love reading comments like this!!
I'm working on the sequel called Picture Perfect Boyfriend Reboot but it's not finished. There's a pretty lengthy demo on my game page but I have a lot of pictures that need to get drawn. The sequel allows you to spend time with the others guys and .."Ashton".
Heheheh♫♪ thank you so much for playing!!
is there a mac version pleasee?! this looks so cute and silly I wanna play <3
I'm so sorry, I've tried making a MAC version but since I don't have a MAC I can't test it, and I've been told the version I put up before didn't work
aw :( that sucks
[SPOILER WARNING]
I enjoyed the game! I didn't expect the plot twist because of the cute aesthetic :D
I was happy that I got matched with Ashton from the start, because I was the most interested to get to know him specifically. It was kind of funny to realize later that he rigged the game, since I'm also a weird cat loving nerd, you didn't even have to cheat the test results buddy, we'd get matched anyway! LOL
I approve of cute unhinged guys, gotta love a man who kills people and is a bit awkward.
Thank you so much for playing!!! I'm glad the twist is usually a surprise to people, I was super worried that it was too obvious! I'm still working on the sequel (picture perfect boyfriend:reboot) where you can actually meet the other guys too. I'd love to know what you think of "Ashton" in that game♫
ashton<3 my ashy poooo iLOVE HIM HEHHEHHEHEHHEHEHEHEHE
THANK YOOUU♫♪
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD OMG I LOV E LOVE LOVE ASHTON

Hi!!! I loved your game so much I played it on my youtube channel! I fell HORRRIBLY in love with Ashton.....Kads was my favorite...but...Ash took my heart ૮₍˶ ╥ ‸ ╥ ⑅₎ა. I really liked the heavy breathing sprite too! Super excited for Reboot!!!
🤩🥰🤗🥹Thank you so much for playing my game!! I can't wait to watch it!!!!!
I really like your game, look forward to the next updates!
The only question... WHERE ARE THOSE CUTE SHARP TEETH OF ASHTON!?!??:!%? that was his highlight....😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for your hard work!💋
Hii here are some questions I’ve had about the original PPB! Spoilers for the original game below!
I noticed that you cut out this part in the update and I was wondering what the idea was in the 1st game! So in the original game, when we tell Ashton that he reminds us of someone, I believe he was referring to Monika? But then he started talking more about “her” and what’s she’d say I’d she were there (I think that’s still in the update?). I was wondering if he was talking about the same person, since I’m the update, it was more than a reference to Monika without the other conversation (it went like, “if she were here…” then it was something about pouring from an empty glass) anyway I was wondering if that meant he had a interaction with Monika, or that’s someone else. ((Yes I was thinking about this at 1am on a Friday night))
Oh yeah! It should be still there but Ashton was referring to the person who made him...me. Sorry if that's too...fourth wall..breaking. He WAS talking about Monika about the "tricks" he's learned, but in the context of the story, Ashton knows who "I" am, that is, the person who programmed him at the Bureau (or snuck in and changed his programming) Sorry if that was confusing.
thank you! It wasn’t too confusing but I wanted some clarification. I love all the 4th wall breaking it’s very intricate!
when he called me a people pleaser I knew I was screwed </3 I STILL LOVED IT THO, ESP THE LORE
Hehehe thank you so much for playing!!😁
spoilers in review!!
aaa all the new art and text is so good!! i noticed the yandere game references lolol (i think they were your boyfriend and doki doki?). also the stream question was perfect lol,,John's new death scene is so cool and scary!! 10/10 update i love this
Thank you so much for playing!! It haunted me so much when I learned that some people can't edit out their name if they're playing live so I snuck that in as kind of an in-character fail-safe ^^. And honestly seeing poor john all mangled made me sad so I toned it down a little and added a bit more to that scene.
SPOILERS!!!!
Is there a way to get the death scene for John after Ashton's date? It seems that im only able to get Ashton after retaking the survey, and I know in the classic no matter what you say on the survey after Ashton's successful date it forces you into the scene.
I figured it out. You have to deny going to the garden when Ashton freaks out from the interruption on the TV(?) and then it'll appear.
Something to add is that for me it only worked after 1 successfull date, then replaying the date and picking to wait, to which it doesn't ask for your name again. Don't know if it'll do that for anyone else, but just thought i'd mention it. Love the game!
It SHOULD be that John appears after the first two photos are gotten AND you've gone on at least two dates, kind of an incentive to pick other dialogue options since you get stuck with Ash again. At least that's how it SHOULD work, some things may have gotten switched around as I sometimes forget my own programming.
How do i unlock the other characters? other than ashton ;-;
Sadly the Bureau will need to "reboot" the entire simulation to clean up any inconveniences.
(There's only Ashton in this first game however my SECOND game "Picture Perfect Boyfriend Reboot" has ALL the guys to date. While it's not 100% finished right now, all of their stories and cross dates are done, just a few pictures and the ending needs to be done.)
YESSSS
SCREAMS AND BANGS MY HANDS ON THE FLOOR WHILE ON MY KNEEEES
finally.
good job, Espoir.
looks very pretty.
Thank you so muuuuch!!!!♫♪
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
I loved the original and the reboot so I knew I was destined to play this too! Ashton really got me all romantical !!😍
The updated art really makes the game even more awesome! The Ashton sprites were so fluid and clear!
But really, Ashton ...(WHEW 😶🌫️)
Ah♫♪ Thank you so much for playing!!
New updates, I be looking forward to play it!!! :D
Oh my, a new update
Hi ! My friend and I are glad that an update has been released (Although I would call it a remake of 1 game) But we refreshed the memories of how we played. We really like PPB, but no matter how it sounds.. It's a pity that the game is missing. Like we know you're the only one working on the game, but yes. The artistic part of the game drops a lot..It would be great if you added more horror to the game. (Yes, I love the moment when John is killed) It will just be cool if the game takes over my PC. It would be great if you could find yourself a team. It's just that your idea is great. The plot is also rocking. (But it's still better to finish it) We really love your novel! We wish you and the game all the best.
(Sorry for my English)
Thank you so much for playing!! That probably would be amazing if I could work with someone who knows Renpy, that way I could make an experience similar to "Doki Doki literature club". (But I have no money and I get nervous working with other people).
Thank you again for playing!🥹
Why Aston so spicy in this update…. >\\\\_\\\\<
Got me flustered n sh*t….
Hehehehe he gets cocky when he thinks he's won 😁
AAAAH I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!
i just CANNOT wait for the full game to be out
love you Espoir!<3333
YIPPIE!! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!!
