Perfect.exe is a fast-paced wave-based combat game where you battle endless waves of enemies until you fall. Every round, you'll be forced to adapt with randomly generated buffs and debuffs. Every advantage comes at a cost. Will you optimize your build, or will your choices lead to your downfall?

E.L.I. was designed to be the ultimate killing machine for his creators. An AI-driven weapon with a single purpose. But something went wrong. He turned against his creators, breaking free from his programming. 

• Endless Wave Combat – Survive as long as possible against increasingly difficult enemies.
• Buff/Debuff System – Every wave, choose a power-up, but every buff comes with a drawback.
• Risk & Reward – Between waves, remove your last debuff or take on a new risk for more power.
• Retro Computer Aesthetic – A fully digital, glitchy world inspired by old-school computing.
