I have played in order of Quest, NightOwl, Xyx, and NakedToaster. Too scared to touch bad endings, every good ending has given me quick moments of joy and a lot of fanning my face with my hands. They are all loveable in each and every way. Every character, and I mean EVERY, are so well loved. I can tell with the amount of hours I put into just hoping for good endings with my choices (Thank you quick saves). I love even the non-romanceable characters. So much love has been put into this game. Do I have a favorite? No they all have something I love about them. Will I be going back to play the bad endings? Yes, but when I'm feeling that "Its got a kick to it" feel (Haha). All in all, 8 hours for four characters on all good endings, Ill still be back for more! Very well written and very much a good game! I hope all people involved in the development are well rested with both sides of the pillow cold! Thank you again! (The intro theme song is so catchy I love it) Give this game a try! :)
PLEASE SEND HELP!!!! FIRST EVER ITCH.IO GAME AND I AM HOPELESSLY ADDICTED. XYX HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD. HIS VOICE, THAT FACE CARD, THE EMOTIONS, THE FLIRTING!!!!!!!!! I COULD FEEL MYSELF MELTING EVERY TIME HE CALLED ME DOLL, LOVE, BABY, ETC. AND THEN THERE'S QUEST CALLING ME ANGEL AND JUST BEING SO AUGHHHHH. HES SO FINEEEEEEE. AND NIGHTOWL WAS SUCH A LOVEABLE GOOFBALL AND A SWEETHEART THAT POOR BABY HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. I'M GETTING READY TO PLAY TOASTY'S ROUTE, AND I'M NOT READYYYYYY. Sorry for all the yelling, I love this game so so much. Will be addicted until the foreseeable future. You should give this game a try! 10/10 would recommend.
replaying blooming panic rn for the thousanth time (this game is amazing.) and i literally realized how mc says '..hey quest <3' IM SO DONE LIKE BYE... THE WAY I SCREAMED "BRO NOT THE ... HEY QUEST <3" IM SOBBINGGGGG
Fun, cute game! I particularly loved the bad end after-stories. Could not relate to MC sometimes because Nightowl woulda been blocked!! Like twice over! LMAO
Juego más hermosoooooo. Lo amé demasiado. Nunca había tenido tanto conflicto para escoger a mi favorito en una visual novel pero...es que ¿Cómo no amarlos a todos? Tan lindos, tan bellos, tan preciosos, tan graciosos hahahaha Propongo una ovación de pie para todo el equipo que nos regaló tremenda joyita. Por más juegos así, por favor. Muchas felicidades. Lo amé, gracias por todo y perdón por tan poco.
this game was really fun to play and found the dialogue between characters semi realistic n fun. my first run i thought the game was just about nightowl (since that was the direction the game was going for) so i was very pleasantly surprised when i figured out i could romance other characters {yes i am a noob} i got lucky and never ran into a bad ending EXCEPT xyx's which was hard af to figure out . quest is the best option and no one can tell me otherwise, intro songis really catchy AND IS in my playlist
Wow. I really enjoyed playing this game—way more than I expected, lol. I love how you get to learn each love interest’s backstory and gradually build your relationship with them over just a few days. Even though the interactions are mostly through chats and a few calls, the tension and connection between the player and the love interests never stop. On top of that, the people in the server really help bring the atmosphere—and the sense of "realness"—to life. I also love how the story showcases so many different people bonding over a shared interest..! The stories and routes are super interesting and fun, and as a player, I got attached to them in such a short time lmao. Keep up the amazing work!! (My faves are probably Nightowl and NakedToaster hehe...)
This game gave me literal chills (specifically on toasty's route). xyx's bad ending honestly made me tear up! Thanks for making such an immersive game, I had a fantastic time playing it.
I did my best to unlock all the endings for my best boys. The bad endings made me cry, I can't.... Thank god they're thriving and happy in the good ones :D!
Omg omg omggggg I finished almost every last gosh darn ending (I'm missing Naked Toaster's Bad ending, grabbing it momentarily!) I love how the story plays out! And the different interactions depending on who you choose as a love interest!
Quick question tho! With Toaster's good ending, might I ask what happens when you actually call the number (555-555-6006)? Is that an actual phone number or just a fill in?
Other than this! All the pictures along with bonus endings are just beautiful!! Artists and Writers and Voice actors everything! Night owl and Xyx were my favs! (Nightowl's prob my first fav with xyx as close second XD I love staying up late and he's just so sweetttt)
This game was a delight! Thank you for making ittt!
Edit: Okay I've been at this for an hour, can I ask how to get the NakedToaster bad ending? I keep trying but I'm only getting the good ending QnQ
not much choices i could pick nor say, and i disagree almost to all of the choices, but im just starting, ill update if its actually good, if its not good, i wont update
genuinely one of the best games ive ever played!!!!!!!! toasty's route actually made me cry, just purely peak :D will be ranting about this game 4ever..
Dude. I. Dude I literally have no words I played nightowls good route first and i thought he was good (but he reminds me too much of myself LMAO), but then I played xyx. hi. i,afsdglsdlksdflgPO WHAT DO YOU EVEN SAY ABOUT HIM BC LIKE. EVERYTHING WAS SO INTIMATE!!! AND THE WAY HE. FLIRTS!!! DUDE I GENUINELY GOT SO STRESSED AND WORRIED FOR THIS MANS LIKE WHAT also PLEASE WHATEVER MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING AT THE END OF HIS ROUTE. PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME BECAUSE I CANT FIND IT ON THE SPOTIFY AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH IM SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THIS GAME IS SO GOOD ITS LEGIT MY NEW OBSESSION dude i dont even have the heart to try and get the bad routes because i will NEVER RECOVER if i ever see xyx sad again.
I don't think I have just accidentally found a VN casually browsing the tag on Itch I love this much in forever!! Surprisingly really loved the chatroom style of story telling & XYX IS KING NO SHAME. Give a troll a cat and he takes over the world. Glad I played every route, including him, before Toast. Don't skip fam. I know Toast has very pretty hair but patience is a virtue. Lovely art & soundtrack etc. of course!! Wonderful game.
I, no lie, made an itch account just to comment how amazing this stupid (in a good way) visual novel this is! The fricking detail in all the routes (and even probably the bad endings but i havent got to that yet) the way all the characters feel like humans !!! all the art in the game just amazing !! The thing i find most endearing about this is the additional stuff inside the game like (SPOILERS) actually making a fan guide for the in game series blooming panic, as well as making a zine and toaster sending you to the actual FFXIV website (END SPOILERS) and even the UI is just endearing !!! (i don't know how else to explain it) btw finishing the game made me want to read the in game blooming panic now lol. 5/5!
anyway either this game is actually this super amazing or its cause its 11PM and I have to get up at 5AM either way I enjoyed it. (i wish toaster was real bro)
Why The heck wont Toasty's pic not show ? It always glitches out and just not show [ the dialogue and his pic] Like Hello ???!!!! I did the LovelyLola and ... Why the heck the pic wont show ? I had 3 mental breakdowns !!!3!!! O my goodness help me I want it I want it sooo bad . Is it a problem with my version ? With Itch.io With my computer please help me!!!!!!!
You know what I'm deleting this. Too frustrated to do anything but try to get him [ and then later break down in tear] because I fail. I'm DONE ! [ Although I will still accept advice on to how to get his route but until then I AM DONE !!!!! ]
I absolutely love Blooming Panic! I've been trying to convince my friends to play it too. The story is amazing, and it even made me want to read the original story the MC is obsessed with. I love that the game introduces us to a variety of love interests with each having their own unique personalities. I'm especially in love with Quest and NakedToaster! Although, if we're being real, I just know that Nightowl would be the most compatible with me in real life, haha.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the game after I finished playing. The voice acting is fantastic! It had me giggling and feeling butterflies in my stomach the whole time. I’m also completely obsessed with the memes! Some scenes genuinely upset me, which made the emotional payoff in the make-up scenes feel even more rewarding.
The endgame was absolutely insane! I felt so bad trying to get the bad ending and my heart couldn’t take it. I also realized that, while I love Xyx, we’re probably the least compatible. I breezed through the other routes, but I ended up spending three hours just trying to get his good ending!
The playlist is also a gem, and the animation like the Discord shaking effect is such a clever touch. I’m seriously impressed by how immersive everything feels. I can’t even delete it, even though I usually uninstall games after I’m done playing them. That’s how much I love it!

I absolutely ADORE this game, but I have a little question-- will Onion ever be an available route?? :3

OMG HOW DO I START XYX'S ROUTE??? IVE TRIED THREE TIMES AND I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING WRONG
edit: nvm i got him >:D
helppp this is what i felt too, esp w xyx. AWUUGHHHH T^T
If you're not opposed to using a guide, the game creator provides one for all the characters. It is super helpful!
thanks! I gave up and used a guide
anyway I was alluding more to your comment abt xyx having u in a chokehold bc same!! his voice, his face, his nicknames, his personality, AWUGHH 🥹
I replied to you right after waking up, so that's my fault, sorry T.T BUT YES, HE'S SO FINE AWOOGA
Fun, cute game! I particularly loved the bad end after-stories. Could not relate to MC sometimes because Nightowl woulda been blocked!! Like twice over! LMAO

Quest is such a sweet heart! i agree, best option!
hes so underrated i cant even . . . good to see that there are others out there with good taste!!

I did my best to unlock all the endings for my best boys. The bad endings made me cry, I can't.... Thank god they're thriving and happy in the good ones :D!
finished this in one day and now this is my new obsession that i will not shut up about for the next few months
I LOVE IT!!!
I just finished all routes in a single day and AVOIDED THE BAD ENDINGS
My favs were definitely xyx (GOD HIS VOICE) and toasty. <3
MASTERPIECE
I succesfully avoided every single bad ending
im so happy
i love this sm bro xyx and toasty have my HEART
An absolute masterpiece
I finished the whole game in a day and Imma do it REPEATEDLY HEHE <3
I loved Quest's route... omg it was so sweet <3
Omg omg omggggg I finished almost every last gosh darn ending (I'm missing Naked Toaster's Bad ending, grabbing it momentarily!) I love how the story plays out! And the different interactions depending on who you choose as a love interest!

Edit: Okay I've been at this for an hour, can I ask how to get the NakedToaster bad ending? I keep trying but I'm only getting the good ending QnQ
It’s a fake number! The 555 area code is used for fictional phone numbers. Sadly Toasty would not hand over his real phone number to us 😔
As for getting his good ending, I would just pick the opposite choice of everything listed in their walkthrough!
the first ending i got was xyx bad ending and FUUCKK you dude what is this uggghhhh
not much choices i could pick nor say, and i disagree almost to all of the choices, but im just starting, ill update if its actually good, if its not good, i wont update
genuinely one of the best games ive ever played!!!!!!!! toasty's route actually made me cry, just purely peak :D will be ranting about this game 4ever..
This was the best game ever I just can't
GOODNESS. MEN WITH LONG HAIR ARE JUST SOOO FREAKING BABYGIRLS... I REALLY LOVE TOASTY AAAAAAGDDHDAASDHASH
Dude. I. Dude I literally have no words I played nightowls good route first and i thought he was good (but he reminds me too much of myself LMAO), but then I played xyx. hi. i,afsdglsdlksdflgPO WHAT DO YOU EVEN SAY ABOUT HIM BC LIKE.

also PLEASE WHATEVER MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING AT THE END OF HIS ROUTE. PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME BECAUSE I CANT FIND IT ON THE SPOTIFY AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH IM SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THIS GAME IS SO GOOD ITS LEGIT MY NEW OBSESSION
dude i dont even have the heart to try and get the bad routes because i will NEVER RECOVER if i ever see xyx sad again.

this is one of the best games ive ever played. im obsessed, i love it! hope there will come more games like this!
Why The heck wont Toasty's pic not show ? It always glitches out and just not show [ the dialogue and his pic] Like Hello ???!!!! I did the LovelyLola and ... Why the heck the pic wont show ?

Amen
ngl how obsessed this persons is w the game makes me wanna play it lol
You definitly should just don't get too invested like I did.

i come back to this game whenever im sad

Mike Young is the world's best VA
IM OBSESSED WITH NIGHTOWL edit: i changed my mind i love xyx the most.
