I didn't have set expectations for this game when I first played but having this experience was amazing, if I'm being honest, I don't read through the game details weather playing the first time so the "chat" and "voice chat"/"video calls" were a pleasant surprise. The voice acting during the calls was great and I couldn't have imagined otherwise for this game, I am a little disappointed that there wasn't much " behind the scenes" in game where you could interact with the love interests in person past the ending but it's still amazing nonetheless, might be just me anyway. I did cry as well but I enjoyed everything from beginning to end, even if I didn't know what I was doing at first lmao
GOD WHAT DO YOU EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS GAME?! HOW DO I RESUME ALL MY FEELINGS INTO WORDS?!
Bro this game surpassed my expectations... I mean c'mon, this is great for anybody who is afraid of online people but is still delusional that someone good might pop up LOL.
All the dialogues, the art, the VOICE ACTING?!, the characters, the layout, the time and effort, the accuracy of how 20-year-olds communicate, the flirting and romance just. OH. MY. GOD.
DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?! IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT DOWNLOADING THIS, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST DOWNLOAD THE GODDAMN GAME. YOU WON'TTTT REGRET IT. THIS FILLED MY HOPELESS ROMANTIC DELUSIONAL VOID AND I THANK THE HEAVENS FOR THE CREATORS, VOICE ACTORS, GOD EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT, JUST, THANK YOU! This is such a good game omfg 15/10, would recommend it to anybody over 16-years-old.
First time I made a comment for any game on here but this one is just too good for me to finish it without giving it some praise! Aside from the clear effort that went into building the plot and the mechanics of the game, one thing that really impressed me (as an avid discord user who has made some lifelong friends and also met some weird ass people through discord fandom servers) is how accurate the dynamic of the characters are?? Definitely gave me a bit of whiplash here and there. Very good game! I made it through the three main routes all within a day and looking forward to finishing the last one soon!
I wish there were more to the boysssssss! The game literally put a smile on my face more than several times because of how cute their reactions were or them being easily flustered! The voice actors did a really awesome job too! Game would be in my top 3 otome games if I were to start putting them in a list. <3
Copying some of this over from my review, just because more people deserve to be convinced to play if they haven't already!
All around incredible game, from the formatting and writing to the characters, artwork, and choices that felt realistic and grounded in reality. Cannot believe I hadn't played Bloomic until now.
Each character is very well established, from their typing style and behaviours to their video call scenes, it's all just too good. Incredible props to the voice actors who brought so much life to this game, along with the fantastic premise and accompanying lore. What a journey that was! I didn't want it to be over, and was enthralled from start to finish. Almost want to say I felt real pain during some of the tense situations, and such a good job was done of imitating awkward group chat moments that I had to take breaks and really think before responding (I say this as a positive, of course)!
I found myself yelling at my computer, putting my head in my hands, laughing, covering my mouth in shock, and damn near crying! What an experience honestly! Love Quest for being the first route I ended up on, but Xyx will forever have my heart <3 <3 <3
I just want to say that Xyx's voice acting lines should be ILLEGAL. VA did such a good job! They all did actually. I really loved Xyx and also Quest's routes. I think the emotional traumas they dealt with is something that really resonated with me. I wasn't expecting so much character depth in this discord style otome, but I was pleasantly surprised. How'd I become obsessed with this Aussie dork? It's unbelievable that this game is free-to-play, I'm sure many players would be willing to pay ~$10. Will love y'all forever if you guys make after stories (beyond the epilogues) and I'd definitely pledge on kickstarter if it was a project.
despite having heard of his game for a good while, I've only played it now AND WOW I LOVED IT... each route had its own very vivid AND VERY IMMERSIVE storyline, every one leaving me on the edge of my seat! for those who wish to play every route, you def should and you won't regret it~ though, i am completely weak to Toaster and Quest,, glasses just get me.
idk about everyone else but quest had me cheesing so hard. my favorites are totes nightowl and quest im now trying to get nakedtoaster but its hard.(NVM i think i got it! lets see if its a bad or good ending now) i really liked xyx but idk how to get a good ending with him
A friend recommended me Blooming Panic, I love visual novel games even more if they are LGBT+, but every time I want to extract the game's zip files, I get "corrupted file", is there a solution? i really like to play Blooming Panic a lot
The zip you downloaded is for windows
(Sorry if it's misspelled, I haven't learned English very well yet)
this is perhaps the best dating sim ive ever played and mmy friend and i just finished toastys route and now idk what to do with my self and i dont know if i can do thebad ends i love tem so much I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY THEY ARE HAPPY IMM HAPPY BUT esdelkjflgueisge TwT
Can I just say that this game is absolutely gorgeous? The art, story and characters - I even almost cried on xyx's Route. Didn't care to find out the bad ends, I'd rather really not find out QAQ
I didn't really expect the things I got when I first saw this game or when I finally decided to play it. And I was pleasingly surprised, no, amazed. I can't really express myself well but you did awesome, all of you! I'll be staying excited for more works of yours <33
As one might see, xyx was my favorite, so much he's both my profile picture and background wallpaper now. Hope that's fine, I gave appropriate credit (I think) on my profile page. 10/10, would (and will) play again anytime ;3
(my review repeated as comment cuz idk how reviews work, haha)
finished all the good end routes ( i cannot bring myself to do the bad ends) and FJHASJKDFHKHW THIS WAS SO GOOD. THE VOICE ACTING WAS AMAZING AND THE FACT YOU LEARN ABOUT EACH CHARACTERS BACKSTORY AS YOU PROGRESS FOR EACH ROUTE. this was one of the best games i have played ( one of my favs too) and i really enjoyed playing this. thank you for making this masterpiece.
This game is absolutely fabulous- i easily would have paid so much for this astounding content! the discord setup is freaking genius, and the voices are just *screams*. this gameplay is everything- thank you so much for the devs for this free (?!?! insanity) game!!!
Created an account just to leave a comment on this absolute masterpiece of a game. Quest route made me sob, Toasty is one message away from convincing me to ply ffxiv. I LOVED THE XYX ROUTE??? First bad end. All the guys have a great sense of humour, and I loved the side characters too. onionthief route maybe? MAYBE??? He has a nice voice and potential, plus he was sending some signs on the nightowl route. I'm surprised that this game is free. Worth $5 or more. ALSO THE BLOOMING PANIC SONG, IT'S SO GOOD. In my playlist. Great job to devs and VAs, I'll replay this game whenever I feel less sane.
Ahh this was so good??? Although Quest is totally my type, I'm in love with all of the characters (which is pretty rare for me lol). And the VOICE ACTORS? SO GOOD. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
I love the whole setup of the game, from the discord server to the video calls with the characters. The art is soooo pretty, too (from all the artists)!
Thank you so much for such an amazing game, and I look forward to whatever you all have in store for the future!
(P.S. I lingered on the home screen for a while, and I started hearing what I think was a kazoo version of the menu song?! Made me crack up so much, 10/10)
this looks like an attempt to play on mobile, which the game is not formally released for. If the joiplay workaround does not work for you (this game is built in legacy renpy so you need to swap that in your settings), you will have to play on PC
This game came at a very appropriate time for me. I had recently joined a new discord server with ppl I now consider dear friends of mine and this just reminded me of them. The dialog felt oddly natural and I found myself saying what my mc would say before it even popped up on the screen. Toasty by far has my favorite route tho, as someone who has been very change-adverse the themes of that route hit me hard, but in a good way. I played this to make myself feel better so despite the completionist in me, I refuse to get any of the bad endings. I'm excited to see what you do next!!
NIGHTOWL IS JUST A ALSKDJAKLS i was just giggling no sé como se escribe bien and screaming in his route bcuz is just uuuhg and the bonus!!! amaizing, fantastic i just love that man kalsjdklas also quest i wlkasj my heart is so soft for him and his route, he is the standar i love theeem
but i have to say the finals are osea no son como el bom que espero que luego me da el bonus, pero aparte de eso amo todo hasta ahora and! BIG LADY OR JUNE O TWO ROUTE WHEEEEN
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!

Absolutely loved this! I hope we'll get a June or onionthief route someday.

This game is fun and silly !

One message away, huh? Y'know, they're adding another expansion to the free trial in October. That's half the game for $0.

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.
