Blooming Panic

Love Quest, wish he was real. 1000/10 <3

I LOVEEE this game. The whole idea of being in a chat group/Discord server is so appealing. There are so many little 'easter eggs' and references that I adore! It's really wel written. I cannot wait to finish the game fully. I'm currently on Xyx's route, after finishing Quest's!

One tiny thing however is that I noticed like 75% of the voice acting is cut off after the first word. Such a shame honestly. Is this a known issue?

Nevertheless, I loveee this game!!!!

i wrote a review for this but i meant to write a comment LOL, so here it is again, in full honesty: this review is about 3 years late, though i did start playing in august ‘22 so maybe it can be considered two. i think there is not much more that i can say that hasn’t been said already about the game: it has brilliant writing, the cast are made of incredibly believable people and the devs have created something so comforting that i found myself filling up the save slots with countless moments i wish to relive all over again. i found blooming panic when i was in need of a community and some sense of sanity (guess who was going the exact thing xyx did on his route LMAO), and i never thought a silly visual novel i downloaded could be a part of my life so fast. recently visited again after having gone through many perspective changes as i am no longer the same person as the one who was playing this on repeat, and i still find so much joy in the storyline, the characters, the music, the design and the community at large. highly recommended.

OMG!!!! This game is amazing and I was basically just giggling and kicking my feet during this whole game lmaoo. I was not expecting to love this game as much as I did. I'm truly amazed. I adore Toasters and Nightowls endings so much, they're so cuteeee!! (no hate to Quest, he was cute too) I still haven't played Xyxs ending yet so I'll probably just edit this comment later when i end up playing through his ending. Also I gotta say, Toasters ending got me really emotional ngl. I did not expect it to have that kind of effect on me, but I absolutely loved it!! I only got one bad ending (Nightowl) and honestly... I don't think I can bring myself to play through the other ones because that broke my heart ngl lmao 

Edit: Xyx.... you freaky deaky man oml. He has a motorcycle AND a cat?? Lawd have mercy. Also the last art of him?? God damnn

I definitely did not expect to love this game as much as I did! The stories are so good, the characters feel very real, and I got so emotional over Toasters ending and the fanzine!! I can't believe I've put off playing it for so long because it was online-chat-based, but it's so immersive! Do recommend you follow the suggestion of leaving Toasters route as the final one, as it gives you time to actually care for everyone in the chat, so it just becomes even more emotional. It's clear to see the amount of love and dedication that went into this game, truly impressive... Loved it!! I can't get myself to try and go for the bad endings tho lol

I loved Quest!! I had one idea of what he'd be like and then as his story went on he just blossomed and turned into someone so nuanced and interesting. Gosh and the little hints here and there...yeah lol. My second favorite was xyx, I wasn't sure about him at first but as he opened up I was just melting LOL. The accent, the playfullness...PUHLEASE. I want to go on adventures with him lol. I was 50/50 about night, he's a cutie patootie for sure though and I can relate to him. Toaster was my least favorite (toaster is a cool character!! I've just already dated a few of his type irl so it wasn't exciting for me). Amazing game!! I loved this 

i loveddd this gameeeee 

<3

It's 3am, I have to be up at 7am, and I created an account just so I can leave a comment here about how much I love this game. I played this fairly blind and ended up on XYX's route, honestly not too surprising since one of my best friends is the resident troll in our group chat, but what was surprising is how much the unexpected depth of this route actually brought me to tears. Not to mention how it sunk its hooks into me and convinced me that it was more important than sleep on a work night. Absolutely phenomenal work and it makes me look forward to all the other routes as well. Thank you so much for putting this out into the world. I hope you always find the cool side of the pillow and the signal light always changes just when you need it to. 

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH, SOOO AMAZING. I could tell how much effort and love was poured into each and every character, they all felt so real :^^^ 

It has been a few months since I finished it.  Everyone is so unique and I can't choose my favourite at that time. Until recently I find that I'm more impressed by the story of Quest and Nightowl and barely remember Xyx and Toasty's plots, even though I still remember I like them.

It seems like time told me who I like more.  真是奇妙啊：）

I LOOVEEEDD ALL OF THE GOOD ENDINGS OMGGG ESPECIALLY NIGHTOWL HES SUCH A CUTIEE

I love this game sooooo much!!! Love love love the good endings (>///<) but the bad endings made me cry so much (ToT) 

at first i didn't like xyx.. but as the time went on i fking love him sm.. such a sweetheart

the best fucking game. CONGRATULATIOOONS

this game wow!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Definitely going to my faves TwT I love love Xyx! and Nightowl comes second but all the characters are amazing, even the nonromancable ones. AND THE VOICES ARE AMAZING, great picks! I actually felt sad I finished it. I can't wait to make fanarts >:DDD
