Loved the concept and the attention to detail such as the written story related to the web novel, the post ending extras, as well as the voice acting for the characters were well done! I enjoyed how they approached the 'calls' as well as the server stuff. It really felt like it was a discord server! The links even worked when you clicked on them! Character identities were easily understood and each were unique in their specific way, including how they typed!
I do enjoy the story but I feel like I could have gotten much more into it if it was given a bit more time to 'bloom' (heh). The story beats and plot came over the romance, and that's fine but I do wish we could have spent time with the fun romance aspect. Some quality time where they play off of each other would give their interactions a deeper meaning between the MC and the LIs. This might be because most of the responses were essentially a 'continue' button, so I didn't feel like the MC had the chance to play around with the other characters in a satisfying way (if you get me?).
If you're talking about the song that plays on the opening menu it's just called Blooming Panic on youtube, anything else youd have to go throught the music files for im p sure
HHDDBDBDBDBDHDBHDBDBDBDBD this is the best dating sim / chatsim / whatever whatever its soooooo good. nightowl is my favorite favorite faVORITE i played through his route twice already because i love himmmmMMMM. i failed xyx's route like five times because i didnt wanna lose at tongue twisters lol also i thought the toasty route was super fun and i liked the added endgame element to it especially cause i played it last of the four anyways 100000000/10 would reccomend lol
I immediately captured the good ending of Quest and for me that was enough, I loved his voice, the way he spoke, the chivalry towards the character, etc. Congratulations to the creator, I really liked it. .
Blooming Panic is one of those immaculate games that make you love every one of the characters, including those who aren't the love interests!
In terms of the LI, I love how they were constructed like real people. Like us, we seem to fit in a certain 'vibe', but other details eventually get released - such as a painful history that allowed us to shape ourselves into someone we can accept and truly love. Basically, I really appreciated how they didn't seem to just fit into a certain trope of LI.
For the side characters, I also love how we got glimpses into who they are as well as their values! And I especially love how they weren't forgotten with each play through, as they each had their time to shine and also have small bits and pieces of them revealed in other play throughs that they might not have been as prominent in.
Because of this, this is one of the few games that I continually enjoyed throughout each playthrough!
P.S. I think the opening bg song is also very neat, as each LI's story in the game had a time to shine, but was in a way that was very smooth and interlinked.
Thank you to robobarbie and the whole team for your hard work! I look forward to playing more of your creations! <3
I'm going to keep this short because I'll end up writing a whole novel if I don't LMAO. If you can't tell by the other reviews this game is amazing. the best visual novels/dating Sims I've ever played. I would 100% recommend playing this bendings are amazing though I can't say anything about the Bad Endings because I haven't got any and I refuse to get any because my heart would be able to take it...
such a good game istg the characters are all so relatable I cant do it anymore ISTG. My first love interest was nightowl and I relate to him SO MUCH, all of the stories/backstories for every character was so well thought out and I very much enjoyed it (I played it all during one sitting and it took me 7 hours) Anyway, the only thing I'm a bit sad about is that there werent any endings for June, Lady or Onion ( I was really looking forward to Onion tbh :C) Bit that's just nitpicking at this point, I also really really like the variety of characters and THE VOICE THINGIES, Everything was so cool, 10/10 game man.
Btw fangirled so hard at this (and a lot more tbh) ehehhe
this is genuinely such an incredible game, i love it. xyx FOR LIFEEEE; he's so amazing and kind and smart and fun and HADJFSKGHSDFJK :') his bad ending broke my heart, so naturally i printed out the walkthrough and got the good one. i played all the other (good) routes afterward on my own, but of course, xyx is still first in my heart. he was designed in a lab to be everything i want in a fictional bf. i really felt for him & related in some ways, and it was just such a rewarding route overall. oh and he's beautiful, and so is the art in this game. :) thank you for making this, i can't explain exactly how much i love it BUT YEAH it's epic, and robobarbie & dev team, YOU ROCK!!! <3
Lei un comentario que decía que todas las rutas la hicieron sonrojar, ME PASO LO MISMO JAJAJA. No me suelen gustar todas las rutas de este tipo de juegos, pero con este juego me enamore de todos. No puedo elegir a ninguno como favorito, todos son geniales <:)
I have a problem, I've been trying to start Toasty's route, but no matter how much I tried it wont work. I even watched a youtube video to copy all the choices, yet it still wont work
I have literally come back and have replayed each route so many times. This is a genre of game I've never experienced before ESP not in this format, but I'm OBSESSED. The interactivity of it all. Really feeling like you have control of the outcomes and everything. I would play a million more games just like this. If you ever make any more like this, I'm waiting to pay TOP DOLLAR for it! The idea is so original and I love that you brought us in the middle/end of this groups' story. Idk if I could be any more obsessed with it. When i say I BLUSHED in every route OKAY??? I need more. I've said it. I won't take it back.
hey im having this bug where i cant access naked toaters route even if i use the username lovelylola it just doesnt work and i already done the other routes and still cant get into his route
I made sure to get every single one of their endings, and as much as I loved everyone and Nightowl in particular... xyx has my heart!! When I got his bad ending, I was BAWLING MY EYES OUT, like I felt like someone just ripped a part of me out :'( But once I got the good ending, I was ecstatic!!. The voice actor Mike Young is just amazing I love his voice!!. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful masterpiece. I loved every second I spent playing the game!!, It holds a special place in my heart <3
onionthief route when/hj (this game is absolutely one of the GREATEST games I have seen on itch.io, I already played this game such a long time ago but I decided to replay it a BUNCH of times for xyx, literally infinity/10) (salociN world domination btw, he's such a sweet old man)
I love ALL the characters, and I can't even begin to tell you the amount of times I folded while playing. I love how different all the routes are for each character and how we get to have small moments with side characters (like salo, I adore that old man). I think the discord atmosphere was captured really well too- the set up is so cute and cozy. I go back on discord after playing and I'm like... jeez this place is so cold. ALSO THE MUSIC, I love the title screen music (and all the other songs too ofc). It WILL be #1 on my spotify wrapped idc if there are only 5 months left in the year. Anyway, I just adore everything about this game: the VAs, the art, the story, and I had a ball getting to know everyone. <3

You need to finish the nightowl and Quest's route first. Or using the username "LovelyLola"
Thanks!!
I have literally come back and have replayed each route so many times. This is a genre of game I've never experienced before ESP not in this format, but I'm OBSESSED. The interactivity of it all.
