I appreciate youπŸ’”πŸ˜’

(+2)

I wasn't too crazy about this when I first played it but after recently replaying it...I was just delusional clearly. I loved Toasty's and XYX's routes a lot more the second time around π”Œ*ΛŠα΅•Λ‹*𐦯

(+1)

Playing this again and omg I'm still so down bad for Quest pleaseeee πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’—

(+4)

DUDE I LOVE THIS SHIT SO MUCH- ALL I ASK FOR IS MORE CONTENT (SPECIFICALLY OF NIGHTOWL) I was so mad when it ended that quickly πŸ–οΈπŸ–οΈπŸ–οΈπŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

SO REAL OMG I NEED MORE

(+2)

Hi! There's a walkthrough if you havent seen in it:D 

https://robobarbie.itch.io/blooming-panic/devlog/326192/xyx-walkthrough

Goodluck!

(+1)

Thank you soooooo much!!!You are my saviour<3

(+2)

Xyx's route is absolutely worth it! His ending is so sweet and heartfelt. Enjoy the journey - you're in for a treat! πŸ’œ

(+2)

godddddd ,no matter how many times I play this game,it still can get giggles out of me like a stupidddd

(+1)

IK IK your supposed to be chill when Toasty gives u those scenarios but like...honesty? I said 10000. 

(+1)

Omg this game is the best find ever!! I loved all the routes and got so invested I couldn't think about anything else. The characters are so well written!! <3

(+1)

Played through this whole game the last two nights and it was amazing!!!! I had it on my to-be-played list for soooooo long. 

I honestly had no idea what this game was about, just knew it was a chat sim and very popular!! Now that I've played, I understand why it's as popular as it is!!!!

Such a large amount of content and 4 whole routes for a free game!! Plus all the banter and non romanceable characters made it feel like you were really there. Very immersive.


Spoiler talk ahead (also slight nsfw topic warning)->


WOW the routes all got pretty serious in different ways and it reminded me of mystic messenger in a good way. I like when these types of romance games make their characters have their own struggles they need to work through. Nobody's perfect after all!! plus it makes them feel way more human.

 I only managed to do two bad endings tho cuz those alone hurt too much to attempt the other ones. (quest and nightowl, wah nightowl's bad after end is so depressing, I felt so bad for him).

Tα΄–T


Lwk wanted to punch onion while doing nightowl's route but I learned to tolerate him, he's just a stone faced dude.. His heart is in the right place. Speaking of Nightowl, he keeps calling us cutie but he's the true cutie patootie lol. ( Still can't place in my mind if he's a switch or bottom..)

Basic choice, but I think Xyx is my fave. I love silly characters, what can I say. Plus the cat liking?? Perfect. His design is also veryyy amazing( all of them are but yk favoritism). 

Anyway, very long comment, but I wanted to say this game is amazing and I will definitely replay in a few months. 

(+4)

The things I would do for an onionthief route.

Replaying this game after almost three years, and it is just as good as I remembered. Xyx forever guys.

Thank you so much for this treasure of a game!!

FRR I GOT A BAD ENDING FOR NIGHTOWL BC I WAS NICE TO ONIONTHIEF ;-; I KINDA WANT HIS ROUTE SO BAD 

(+1)

wonderful wonderful wonderful !!! i honestly loved everything about this and every character was awesome. Xyx may be my fave but everyone had their special things for sure, so iΒ΄m toooootally playing other games made by robobarbie <3

(1 edit) (+4)

I played this years back but never left a review, but as I'm about to replay I figured now was a good time!

This game was absolutely amazing! Xyx was my favorite, but every route had it's own charms. Having a love interest enjoy ffxiv was also a bonus for me as someone who's played and enjoyed it for years! The voice acting was amazing and the style of the game was really unique! This was also the game that led to me trying other itch.io games, though this by far is still my favorite β™₯  

(+2)

I normally dont do reviews, OR even play more than one route. But this game has became a favorite, ALL the characters are great, all stories def have their own weak point (emotionally) that hit home for me, but almost comforting? if that makes sense to yall. i love the overall play of the game as well and the art style if just MUAH!!! it really feels like im talking to real people (kinda) and the game is just super funny

(+3)

I LOVED the game !! It's one of my favourites in itch.io !!!

(+4)

Do any of the characters have real names? I LOVE there usernames, but, I need real names... for... fanfiction purposes.

(+2)

This game is well made especially the characters. The story is really interesting. This game has surpassed all others. I want to say more, but I'll let others discover this lovely game. <3

(+4)

I've played so many romance visual novel. I came back here to say this is still one of my most favorite visual novels <3

(+2)

Love this game sooo much!

(+2)(-1)

I wasn't expecting the characters to actually say my name, I didn't even know that was a feature

(1 edit) (+1)

I love toasty sm!! did all the routes I loved them all 2 <33

(+1)

i cannot DESCRIBE how much i love this game. the characters are EXCELLENTLY written with real human flaws that bring them to life!!!!! they also crack me up-. the voice acting is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

(+3)

This game is one of my favorite games ever! It’s such a cozy game with a charming and fun cast of characters and interesting storylines! The art is beautiful and the voice acting is really great too! Blooming Panic has been a comfort game of mine for a couple of years now, and I cannot wait to see what Robobarbie creates next! 

(+2)

Played this after a friend recommended it to me, it's definitely worth playing! Good storyline and well-thought-out characters!!

(1 edit) (+2)

The first game I played after finally getting a PC, and it was sooo worth the time. The story is well written and the characters are so loveable, the discord style is super cool too!!1!1 Oh and the music, I love the tracks, especially the main menu one, it's so djksnjkdnjkachksjd???? What a gem
(Quest and Nightowl ilysm T-T)

(+4)

i need to see a loooot more love for my man xyx. EVERYONE GIVE IT UPPPPP FOR HIM XYX SUPREMACY HIM AND CAT ARE THE BEST

(+3)

This game was not what I expected. On NakedToasters' good route, I never expected to sympathize with a character the way I did with the MC and Bloom. This was very well written out and unexpected. it's so good I shed a tear??

(1 edit) (-8)

(WARNING! SPOILERS!)

I was having a great time (landed first in Quest's route), up until he suddenly got extremely clingy and the game disallowed me from maintaining any distance. What do you MEAN in order to progress I have to emotionally manipulate him with maybes?? This is extremely toxic and icky. I don't get why there isn't an option to decline romantic advancements without the entire chat dogpiling shit on the player and Quest taking his overdramatic leave resulting in a bad ending. After which, mind you, ONE HAS TO RESTART THE ENTIRE GAME? Such a shame for a game with such a great potential and obviously with a lot of love put into it. But this is ridiculous. 

(+3)(-1)

is possible do a transduction in Spanish?

(+3)

I...LOVED THIS GAME ???? All the routes are just IN-CRE-DIBLE but i really think my favorite is NakedToaster's. I wish it was longer I definitely need more of this !!!

(+3)

Cool game!! Must try !11!!1!1!!

(1 edit) (+1)

Could you possibly release this for Android !!!

(+4)(-1)

Please release for Android !!

(+5)

i just got xyx's bad ending and my HEARTTT πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’” i will never recover. it hit me so hard bc i relate to him on so many levels, and seeing him so sad is just so UGGGHHH T_T

(+2)

Just wanted to say this game broke/heal something in me just hope there'll be more games like this <333
