Rizzed up nakedtoaster, have never been the same since /pos
ON A SERIOUS NOTE THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GAME, THE RESPONSES FELT A LITTLE BLAND FOR THE MC BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS SO GOOD. I LOVE THEM AND THE QUEST PLOT TWIST WAS SM FUN.
I've already commented with.. constructive criticism, but I have a request. If it's not to much trouble, could you make short games for each of the characters? I want to know what happens after the endings. Only if it's possible and not to much trouble
I made an account just to comment this. Story: 10/10. Idea: 10/10. Art: 10/10. DECISIONS: I can't play this game with these decisions. The game is amazing, but I had no personality, I was like an NPC thats always happy, If I was xyx, I would hate myself (Me as in the person playing), because I was all "I care about you, you aren't bad", when he probably didn't give a shit, so 8/10 game, but if you do updates, PLEASE add more personality, I literally wanted to break my computer at the amount of times that I was nice when xyx probably didn't want nice. And also, if u see this, did Cat die? if so, RIP Cat. (I'm NOT saying this isn't amazing, it IS, one of the best games I've played, but unlike everyone else in the comments, I have that tiny bit of criticism. I still love it) Edit: I'm playing nightowls route now, and AGAIN, the fucking choices, he's upset and I can't make him feel better because the choices I can choose DON'T LET ME. I still love the game, but I think I have to make it 7/10 now. Maybe 7.5/10. For example, one of the things is "That bastard, I can't believe he said those things to you" When I COMPLETELY deserve it, and then, I HAVE to say "Thanks toasty, appreciate that" No. I literally don't. I deserve it, so no toasty, fuck off, don't say shit about him. Sorry this is so long, but just like everyone else on the "server", I'm also having a bad day. STILL. I know it's a LOT of criticism, but I want it to be constructive criticism, not mean. It's still an AMAZING game. Quick edit: This isn't criticism, like, I DO "Love" nightowl, but like- do I have to love him? Sorry. I'll stop editing it, amazing work, sorry if I'm putting your work down, it really is amazing. Edit: Ik what I said, but its good this time. Kinda. Why did it have to endddddddddd Why can't it keep going with nightowlll I don't even know his name. "Hey grandkid, your uncle nightowl and me are going out for dinner" ....
No suelo comentar, pero éste juego me tiene fangirleando tan fuerte, los personajes son adorables con un toque spicy con sus comentarios de doble sentido.
Admito que el que menos me gustó fue NightOwl, pero es muy lindo, enamorada quedé de XYX, dios, cómo pueden haber creado a un personaje tan chulo, quisiera poder sacarlo de la pantalla para tenerlo conmigo.
El arte visual es hermoso, los personajes son breathtaking, las historias de ellos y sus problemas están bien hechos, son problemas e inseguridades que creo que podríamos tener, me identifiqué con NightOwl.
Los voice actors, dios mio, cómo pueden sonar tan ricooo, mi corazón no podía con todos los comentarios y sus voces, demasiado bueno.
La historia de Bloombot estuvo muy bien, aunque no entendí del todo bien por el hecho de que no comprendía algunas palabras, estaría bien hacer una traducción, creo que llegaría a más gente.
Lo siento por el texto tan largo, puedo decir que disfrutarán el juego y sus rutas.
this game really gave me warmth i love every character and quest was like a real person to fall in love with kinda sad he is not real or the whole game isnt real, even tho idk how to get with the other guys but i dont mind im happy with quest
YO I DONT USUALLY COMMENT ON THESE BUT THIS GAME WAS ADORABLE I LOVE IT ALSO XYX ON TOP, ALSO NIGHTOWL IS SO ME BRO
I WANT XYX SO BAD BRO ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ATP THE THINGS I WOULD DO FOR THAT MAN BRO
by the fucking way bro at first i got the bad ending for xyx i was DEVASTATED BRO IT WAS 5 AM AND I REFUSED TO TURN MY PC OFF WITHOUT GETTING THE GOOD ENIDNG WHY WOULD U DO THAT TO ME
No but seriously, this is one of the best visual novels I have played! All of the characters feel very real, I can relate a LOT to the characters (specially nightowl), and I'm not done with all of the routes yet but I already love this so so much!! <333
I don't know how to explain all the feelings this game gave me! I literally liked every stories and really I just can't find a game like this one. Everything was good! Scenario, characters, designs... I just can't wait another game from yall
Playing Blooming Panic was one of the best decisions I could have made, I fell in love with the whole plot and the development of each character. My favorite route was xyx route because it was the one I identified with the most and it touched my heart of ice!
I wouldn't mind still being the funny one of the group with xyx by my side!
I'm glad that I downloaded this game out of curiosity. I've done every route (except for xyx which I think was a bad idea as I already finished Naked Toaster's)
ps i love nightowl. he just caught my heart immediately, especially by that one call ><
when nightowl snaped i started crying but not cuz i was acting like the character or anything it was cuz i felt like it was actully happening. i felt like i was getting yelled at even after i didnt do anything. because it already happen
The first thing that drew me in was the adorable theme song. I love the bits with the character dialogue in the background.
After that, it really stuck out to me how realistic the server as a whole feels. The characters all feel like real people, complete with all their jokes and arguments and memes and everything. It seriously feels like it could be an actual, real server and I love that! The writing team must have had so much fun with the lighter portions of the chats, lol.
And the boys. THE BOYS. I love them all so much. I wasn't expecting just how viscerally painful the hard parts of the story could get; as somebody with very personal experience with the way nightowl would lash out, the sense of losing all the people and the space you care about in the way things fell apart with everyone in 3/4 of the bad ends, man. It was all real rough, especially the way nightowl and Quest's bad ends went. Just another reason things felt so real, but ow my heart.
Gameplay was this was also just really unique! It's the most complicated "chat-like" game that I've played, with Bloombot and the music tracks and everything. Lots of fun in that regard!
I don't know if any additional routes for some of the other characters are planned, but I would be ecstatic if so. (onionthief redemption route when LOL)
Honestly one of the best visual novels I've played in a while and to believe its totally FREE?? The devs are nuts and I adore them and their team for all that they've done.
What a fantastic game, I had so much fun with it! I may have stayed up all night, nightowl style, to complete every single route. Making it look like a discord server is an inspired idea, and an excellent way to take advantage of all the screen real estate that visual novels often don't. Instead of my attention being divided between the images and text on the bottom half of the screen constantly, I felt fully engaged.
Another inspired idea, making the actual webnovel and it's associated fanart and fanfic to populate the server. Not only does it make it more alive and realistic, but I LOVE 'fake' fiction inside fiction, it's one of my favourite things.
The writing for the characters is very strong. Everyone has a distinct personality and I found myself getting very attached to them. I really like that the non-romantic characters have more of a voice than most visual novels give them, I just wish I'd had more time to spend with them, maybe even get a chance to help them and hang out with them more. Friendship route DLCs? :Dc
My oooooooonly sense of missed opportunity was that there was no easter egg for naming yourself Lola. That would have been perfect. Excellent game!
OMGGG THIS WAS SO SO SO GOOD!!! i loved every second of playing this game, the characters are so well made (and relatable), the story is so interesting and fun. ugh just an amazing game all around!!!
YALL I HAVE NEVER BLUSHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE PLEASE THIS GAME IS SO GOOD QUEST MY BELOVED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I WANT- I NEED HIM FR AHHHSDKAL;FGHASKDJ;G
*sigh* it's almost been a year since i first discovered bloomic and till this day i still get on my knees to pray to whatever gods listening for my own real life Quest like gah GOD PLEASE THERE GOTTA BE A QUEST SOMEWHERE OUT THERE FOR ME PLS PLS JUST ONE CHANCE-
Oh my, i don't even know where to start. The music is awesome, the characters are so well written, the story too(which is very amazing, because it's rare for a game with a "short" route time like a week to be so well developed).
There are so many small details that make it a vivid experience, for me it was the link in Salo's bio that won everything. The bad and good ending short stories + extra imgs on the bonus content page are EVERYTHING!
I currently am doing my second route but am so deeply in love with this game and all the thought behind it! Looking forward for any new games from the team!!!
UPDATE: Finished all routes, good and bad endings and WOW.
I was really amazed by it all, it is SO well written i got butterflies every single one of the routes, i cried in every bad ending and got so involved during toasty's route end and the big reveals i jumped around, screamed, laughed.
This wasn't just a game, it was truly an experience and i am so deeply in love with this, Thanks to the team for this incredible masterpiece!
My mind is just BLOWN at how good this was! The characters, the music, the chatroom style (My weakness aaaa), and the in-game story itself!
The main boys/side characters have got to be the most unproblematic and realistic group of people that I've ever seen in a visual novel.
XYX - The god himself. At first I only liked him because of his jokester personality but playing more in his route I started to understand why he jokes in the first place. He just wants others to be happy. When gloomy moments happened in the chat, he would be the one to help de-escalate the situation by cracking jokes. I love this man but I want him to go to therapy and learn to open up to the people who clearly support him.
Nightowl - I GOT SCARED BY HOW SIMILAR ME AND HIM ARE TF??? I felt like I was talking with a long lost twin during his route lol. I just loved his positive energy and related hard to his personal struggles. I just wanted to give this boy the biggest hug and tell him that he has atleast one person in this world that's his biggest supporter. ME :(
Quest (MY #1 BEST BOY IN THE GAME NO DEBATES) - This was my absolute favorite and saddest route to play. I just connected so much with that sweet gentle giant and loved his views on giving people a chance to grow from their past mistakes. I never cried from getting a bad ending, until I got quest's..... Also FUCK SOCIETYBOY! YOU SMELLY STALKER B-
NakedToaster - I THOUGHT THEY WERE A PODCASTER OR A STREAMER NOT A FREAKING CEO! I honestly thought that toasty was the author the entire time but thank god I was wrong. They came off as an intimidating person but during their route they were really sweet behind all that sarcasm and made me really want to game with them. Especially if the game was a certain CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MMORPG CALLED FINAL FANTASY XIV
Overall I really enjoyed this game and can see myself replaying it to see their stories again. Also JUNE ROUTE, BIGLADY ROUTE, TWO2 ROUTE, ONIONTHIEF ROUTE, AND SALOCIN SIDE STORY WHEN??
first off, absolutely in love with this, secondly june route when??? and id be soo happyyy to see routes for everyone else (as in onion and maybe lady if you choose she/her pronouns) too, its just that june is my favorite of the ones without a route so far lol
God I loved this game and I don't even play dating sims! I spent days finishing all the routes so obsessed with the story. I think everything is so perfect, from the writing to the gorgeous art, UI and music. And the VA and video chats? I felt in love with them. The characters have so much personality that I couldn't do the bad endings because I didn't want to see them sad. I want to highlight the true ending, so sweet and different.
