Blooming Panic

Wow. I really enjoyed playing this game—way more than I expected, lol. I love how you get to learn each love interest’s backstory and gradually build your relationship with them over just a few days. Even though the interactions are mostly through chats and a few calls, the tension and connection between the player and the love interests never stop. On top of that, the people in the server really help bring the atmosphere—and the sense of "realness"—to life. I also love how the story showcases so many different people bonding over a shared interest..! The stories and routes are super interesting and fun, and as a player, I got attached to them in such a short time lmao. Keep up the amazing work!! (My faves are probably Nightowl and NakedToaster hehe...)

This game gave me literal chills (specifically on toasty's route). xyx's bad ending honestly made me tear up! Thanks for making such an immersive game, I had a fantastic time playing it.

I enjoyed playing this so much!

I did my best to unlock all the endings for my best boys. The bad endings made me cry, I can't.... Thank god they're thriving and happy in the good ones :D!

finished this in one day and now this is my new obsession that i will not shut up about for the next few months

I LOVE IT!!!

I just finished all routes in a single day and AVOIDED THE BAD ENDINGS

My favs were definitely xyx (GOD HIS VOICE) and toasty. <3

MASTERPIECE

I succesfully avoided every single bad ending
im so happy

i love this sm bro xyx and toasty have my HEART

i got 2 bad ends lol. i amlost cry

An absolute masterpiece

I finished the whole game in a day and Imma do it REPEATEDLY HEHE <3

I loved Quest's route... omg it was so sweet <3

the first ending i got was xyx bad ending and FUUCKK you dude what is this uggghhhh

not much choices i could pick nor say, and i disagree almost to all of the choices, but im just starting, ill update if its actually good, if its not good, i wont update

genuinely one of the best games ive ever played!!!!!!!! toasty's route actually made me cry, just purely peak :D will be ranting about this game 4ever..

This was the best game ever I just can't

GOODNESS. MEN WITH LONG HAIR ARE JUST SOOO FREAKING BABYGIRLS... I REALLY LOVE TOASTY AAAAAAGDDHDAASDHASH 

Dude. I. Dude I literally have no words I played nightowls good route first and i thought he was good (but he reminds me too much of myself LMAO), but then I played xyx. hi. i,afsdglsdlksdflgPO WHAT DO YOU EVEN SAY ABOUT HIM BC LIKE. EVERYTHING WAS SO INTIMATE!!! AND THE WAY HE. FLIRTS!!! DUDE I GENUINELY GOT SO STRESSED AND WORRIED FOR THIS MANS LIKE WHAT
also PLEASE WHATEVER MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING AT THE END OF HIS ROUTE. PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME BECAUSE I CANT FIND IT ON THE SPOTIFY AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH IM SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THIS GAME IS SO GOOD ITS LEGIT MY NEW OBSESSION
dude i dont even have the heart to try and get the bad routes because i will NEVER RECOVER if i ever see xyx sad again.

I don't think I have just accidentally found a VN casually browsing the tag on Itch I love this much in forever!! Surprisingly really loved the chatroom style of story telling & XYX IS KING NO SHAME. Give a troll a cat and he takes over the world. Glad I played every route, including him, before Toast. Don't skip fam. I know Toast has very pretty hair but patience is a virtue. Lovely art & soundtrack etc. of course!! Wonderful game. 

I, no lie, made an itch account just to comment how amazing this stupid (in a good way) visual novel this is! The fricking detail in all the routes (and even probably the bad endings but i havent got to that yet) the way all the characters feel like humans !!! all the art in the game just amazing !! The thing i find most endearing about this is the additional stuff inside the game like (SPOILERS) actually making a fan guide for the in game series blooming panic, as well as making a zine and toaster sending you to the actual FFXIV website (END SPOILERS) and even the UI is just endearing !!! (i don't know how else to explain it) btw finishing the game made me want to read the in game blooming panic now lol. 5/5! 

anyway either this game is actually this super amazing or its cause its 11PM and I have to get up at 5AM either way I enjoyed it. (i wish toaster was real bro)

finished all routes right before my 12 hour shift too :woozy: was well worth it

time to get less than 20 minutes of sleep

this is one of the best games ive ever played. im obsessed, i love it! hope there will come more games like this!

I absolutely love Blooming Panic! I've been trying to convince my friends to play it too. The story is amazing, and it even made me want to read the original story the MC is obsessed with. I love that the game introduces us to a variety of love interests with each having their own unique personalities. I'm especially in love with Quest and NakedToaster! Although, if we're being real, I just know that Nightowl would be the most compatible with me in real life, haha.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the game after I finished playing. The voice acting is fantastic! It had me giggling and feeling butterflies in my stomach the whole time. I’m also completely obsessed with the memes! Some scenes genuinely upset me, which made the emotional payoff in the make-up scenes feel even more rewarding.

The endgame was absolutely insane! I felt so bad trying to get the bad ending and my heart couldn’t take it. I also realized that, while I love Xyx, we’re probably the least compatible. I breezed through the other routes, but I ended up spending three hours just trying to get his good ending!

The playlist is also a gem, and the animation like the Discord shaking effect is such a clever touch. I’m seriously impressed by how immersive everything feels. I can’t even delete it, even though I usually uninstall games after I’m done playing them. That’s how much I love it!

i come back to this game whenever im sad

IM OBSESSED WITH NIGHTOWL edit: i changed my mind i love xyx the most.

AMAZING GAME I LOVED IT SM!!!

love this game so much ima replay it

Help they're actually all so cute and I feel so deeply for these guys noow TwT I did not expect to love this nearly as much as I do now, I've only done 2 of the good routes so far, but I'm dreading doing the bad ones for my completionist self, wish me luck in not depressing myself too much with it! These guys are just too cute <3

Hah. I was much too presumptuous to think I could hgandle even trying for a bad ending after finishing all the good ones TvT Imma just live in bliss of not experiencing the pain <3 Amazing game, I really love how it handles so many different issues and how every route is completely individual and unique to show a unique story <3

quest, im so in love with you 

whoever wrote Quest imma need you to drop a DLC please take all my money im on my knees begging hahahahahaah
everyone was so cute but this man had me kicking screaming cartwheeling passin out

anyway(!!)so much heart clearly went into this game!!!!!! my first playthru was a bad end (LMAO) so after tht i gripped those walkthroughs real tight. but i especially like how we get views into different little groups of server members through each route--it really fleshed it all out beyond just the romance. voice actors also went CRAZY ??? im biased on quest but xyx had my mouth dropped open the entire damn time. 

not sal tho. im sorry i had to laugh which one of yall was trying to voice that grown ahh man LOL

thank you so much for the experience!! looking forward to following whatever you have next in store

xyx, my beloved
