this is one of the most unique dating sims i've ever played, the presentation of it all is just. good!! if only i liked men, i would like this game more
Playing all of the routes was such a joy. I don't think much about possible plot twists, so I was very invested to find it out. All the characters were interesting and the whole concept was so so good ❤
Hi I just marathonned this all day and I gotta say it's really good and I enjoyed it greatly. Just judging based on the character badges I honestly wasn't expecting to like Toasty as much as I did, but come the other side of the game they're actually my favorite one. Maybe not surprising, given our shared love of FFXIV, but just from the portrait it seemed like they were going to be a lot different than they ended up being. Warm fuzzy feelings :)
Another thing, I just have to give my utmost appreciation for the character ages here. As someone who's also 29 and about to crest the hill into his 30s, it's super refreshing to see a romance game about fully-grown adults rather than 18-20 year olds. Kinda makes me feel like all hope isn't lost yet, haha. Thank you for this pleasant experience <3
[also i caught those free trial jokes ur not slick (yes i know they were meant to be obvious but still)]
I don't remember if I've commented or not but this game helped me a lot when my ex was being a pos in October and it still helps me now. It's one of those games where I can play it over and over again and not feel bad and still love them. You've made a lovely game and I'm excited to see what else you will create!
As someone who's done 3/4 of the bad endings (I couldn't do Toast's bad ending help), they're truly so sad like omg... written very good but at what cost T-T
This game has no business being free, it's too good for us lowly commoners 😔😔. Side note, Quest is now husband #35 (Yes the number is accurate) I literally love this man so much, if this game had a bigger budget he would totally have been voiced by J. Micheal Tatum /pos (I'm literally married to every character voiced by J. Micheal Tatum)
Just finished going through all routes and can say I personally adore this game! I connected most with xyx but teasing and joking around are my true love language so no shocker there. BUT TOAST'S ROUTE WAS GREAT! As it should be since it's the main route... lol. BUT nah I actually teared up with his route but due to our talk with salo. Made me think of my fiance and how much I love him. It was super cute!
Also I personally loved this because every route was actually different. Not only was there a different conflict in each one but a different type of conflict. The author truly put a lot of effort into each route and that is something I respect and will cherish when I ultimately replay this game. Thank you so much!
Finished three boys' routes (Quest, Toast and Xyx). I was skeptical of Xyx at first but did I fall in love with him? YES!
The voices of every character are so good and I'm still listening to the Blooming Panic's song (of all the casts) to this day (have been playing this game like, from 3 months ago) I'll get around to NO's route soon but I believe all of them are very loveable. (But please, how could you come up with these characters?? I still think of them from time to time, maybe it's because their age's range fit with me personally too 😭)
OMG?! THIS IS SO GOOD LIKE WHAT? I ONLY PLAYED TWO ROUTES SO FAR BUT DAMN. IM OBSESSED AND THE ORIGINAL SONG THE CHARACTERS SING AT THE TITLE SCREEN IS JUST WOW. I can't believe I'm now just finding this game in 2023 I was missing out fr ! 😭
I really, really love this game. One day a few weeks ago i was really bored and in search of a game to play, so my friend reccomended me Blooming Panic. Ended up finishing all of the routes on the same day. Gorgeous art, amazing voice acting, charming love interests too!!! My favourites are defo Toasty and Nightowl. Seriously though, this is a masterpiece, 10/10
I really enjoyed this game. Glad I got the chance to play it. :D Its a gem. xyx and NakedToaster were some of my favorite characters. Prob NakedToaster more so because I TOO am an avid XIV player. Looking forward to any other projects you may work on.
xyx...................... UGH. he's so annoyingly charming i hate him and i love him. UGH. UGH. Anyway, this game was fuckin awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us here on itch. I look forward to all of your future projects. <3
this game made me feel so delusional but i'm honestly okay with that bc nightowl is the love of my life. HOW IS HE SO CUTE?!?!?! I WAS LITERALLY PACING AROUND MY HOUSE LOOKING LIKE A TOMATO BC OF HIM
taking deep breaths and walks aound the house trying not to romance nightowl again bc i wanna play the other routs but i love him sm. Absolotly love the game <3
I just finished one route and I must say - I AM IN LOVE WITH NIGHTOWL HES SOOO CUTEEE AND SO SWEET AND GENUINE TOO. I can't, he's genuinely so YES. His flirting was so cute and I was just blushing the whole time jknfukgbksbgiuk. I got curious about his bad end and it broke my heart. I can't wait to play all the other routes :)
I downloaded this on a whim tonight because I've been meaning to check it out and I AM SO GLAD I DID. Oh my gosh, I randomly got the Quest route and I was kicking and giggling the entire time. Plus the plot twists! The suspense! I'm so happy that this game exists, and I'm even happier that I got a chance to play it! Thank you!!
this question is honestly stupid but i'm stupid too so, i already downloaded it but i'm dumb to not know how to get it to show up on my screen :'D if anyone can explain to me how to do that i would appreciate that a lot ^^;
Go to your file explorer and look in downloads. You can start it from there, and if you right click on it you can set a shortcut. I believe this will work but I don't know for sure since it's been a few months since I've downloaded a game, so I'm sorry if it doesn't.
Love the game. But i honestly need more epilogue for these dude. Quest and Xyx stole my heart and ran away with it. I really would like to have a date themed episode even tho it wouldnt make sense. I just NEED MORE.
i can die peacefully if they made more content because I CANT IGNORE THE FACT THAT XYX AND THE PLAYER MIGHT BE ENGAGED?? (he has a ring on during the good end epilogue but im not sure if its just a design thing or so)
Omg, I literally just went through the entire game, which I probably should've done awhile back, but this game was so good. LIKE DAMN literally recommend playing this already, if you haven't then you just gotta. The stories are so interesting, and Bloomic is super good.
I will say that it's the least-demanding MMO I've ever played, probably the one with the chillest community. Could always grab the free trial and find out :V
Okay honestly I landed on xyx route on my first try and I was like, oh no he's for sure he's exactly my type! I've already played what will be the best route on my first D=
But then!!!! All the outher boys' routes hit. Like xyx is still my fave boy but I can't pick a fave route cuz they were all so goooood
Thankyou so much it was so fun i finished all the routes and I'll be replaying like 5 of them again (cuz the voice acters popped off like omfg)
Never have I ever felt so in love the moment my first call was Quest. I believe it's because of my kind interaction but- I did got the bad ending first (Don't worry, I use the guide this time for the good ending and for the rest of the characters.). Now that I finish the whole game + all and each good and bad endings, I'll be in my corner to sob.
But in all seriousness about the story, the arts (All three of it. The "fanarts", fanzine and characters arts.), the voice acting both extras and main characters, seriously everything, I LOVE IT! EVEN the discord feeling of the game, what else can I possible ask more?! I would definitely be playing other games made by you and your team!
Ah, sure! No spoilers so don't worry about my reply.
Quest's bad ending can be achieved when you press the second option, which is platonically option. I was kinda confused on why he seems to be disappointed after that because at my first gameplay, there was no other options (must have messed up my choices throughout in chats and calls) other than that. You'll see what happen next once you got to day 7, which is where the endings are.
So I've been playing otome games for many years, and NEVER have I been as obsessed with one as I am with Blooming Panic. I have replayed it more times than I can count- it's probably unhealthy at this point BUT I DON'T CARE. I've never been one to listen to video game soundtracks either, but I keep listening to the Blooming Panic theme on Spotify because it's so good and makes me happy. I also wrote my first fanfic of my entire life for this time. I've been devouring as much fanfic as I can find because I need more and even though there's a decent amount out there, it's not enough. What the fuck have you done to me Robobarbie?!?
P.S. THE VA'S ARE ALL SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.
P.P.S I would pay good money for an official onionthief route, or DLC, or a sequel, or other extra content. I'm begging.

if only i liked men, i would like this game more
basically uhhh BIGLADY route when
This game is incredible!!
The first time I open it, I hear a song sung by the characters' voice actors and I'm amazed and surprised!
Well-written stories, serious themes with a very immersive game.
Quest is my dear and beloved was a first class Good End!! He's my type in the story flow easily. \\ ^w ^ \\ ~S2
I tried the Xyx Route but I always ended up in Bad End ; w ;
Playing all of the routes was such a joy. I don't think much about possible plot twists, so I was very invested to find it out. All the characters were interesting and the whole concept was so so good ❤
NakedToaster had me kicking my feet and giggling omg...
Quest's route did something to me because now I love him I'll sob. I actually loved all of them, omg I wish online friends were real.

I can't bring myself to play the bad endings, I don't have it in me to break their precious hearts. I love them too much to ever do such a thing.
As someone who's done 3/4 of the bad endings (I couldn't do Toast's bad ending help), they're truly so sad like omg... written very good but at what cost T-T
This is literally such a good game. Definitely in my top three for all time favorite games. Mobile version coming when cause ts is too damn good🙏

hey, I downloaded the game on a windows pc but for some reason it wont open for some reason. It says it seems to be missing an exe file.
You need to extract the contents of the .zip file into a new folder. Windows has a built-in unzip utility but I generally recommend 7zip.
thank you so much!!
I just finished one route and I must say - I AM IN LOVE WITH NIGHTOWL HES SOOO CUTEEE AND SO SWEET AND GENUINE TOO. I can't, he's genuinely so YES.

This game was amazing, and it is free. Insanity. I've paid for many more mainstream VNs that were clearly subpar.
this question is honestly stupid but i'm stupid too so, i already downloaded it but i'm dumb to not know how to get it to show up on my screen :'D if anyone can explain to me how to do that i would appreciate that a lot ^^;

i've tried that before and it doesn't work but thank you for your help ^^
Love the game. But i honestly need more epilogue for these dude. Quest and Xyx stole my heart and ran away with it. I really would like to have a date themed episode even tho it wouldnt make sense. I just NEED MORE.

YeS DUDE. UGHGHHGHG. I just need moreeee -heavy breathing intensifies-
can someone tell whether onion is datable?
Yes he is
Not like, *in the game*, though. Just in general.
Omg, I literally just went through the entire game, which I probably should've done awhile back, but this game was so good. LIKE DAMN literally recommend playing this already, if you haven't then you just gotta. The stories are so interesting, and Bloomic is super good.
Anyone got the link to post fanart so the creator could see? Thanks :)
i would find it but i cant sob, i tried
I love nakedtoaster and xyx routes the most. I enjoyed a lot.
this isn't related to bloompanini but is final fantasy any good for a person who's never played MMOs before??
I will say that it's the least-demanding MMO I've ever played, probably the one with the chillest community. Could always grab the free trial and find out :V
with free expansion up till level 60??? nakedtoaster vibes fr
Okay honestly I landed on xyx route on my first try and I was like, oh no he's for sure he's exactly my type! I've already played what will be the best route on my first D=
But then!!!! All the outher boys' routes hit. Like xyx is still my fave boy but I can't pick a fave route cuz they were all so goooood
Thankyou so much it was so fun i finished all the routes and I'll be replaying like 5 of them again (cuz the voice acters popped off like omfg)
HIIIII, I know this is a rlly hard thing to do but can u make a mobile version? >_<
