i just finished playing this and.... HOLY SHIT MAN THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! EVERYTHING TO THE UI TO THE **AMAZING** OST AND VOICE ACTING; IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! its honestly been a while since i've been so invested in a visual novel and BOY was i invested in this! i'm so attached to all of characters already!! and honestly??? i loved the ui and the creative take on this; the calls and all the interactions with the server members felt so realistic !!
ANYWAYS; the writing and the story itself was pretty darn amazing, i was positively surprised at the twist and I LOVED each and every one of the endings (yes even the bad ones too lmao, perfect amount of angst) YOU GUYS DID AN AWESOME JOB ON THIS!!! im very very very excited to see more from you guys !! :D
stayed up till 6 am playing this, it is THE BESTTTTT omgggg, the loml frrrr, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS, Y'ALL ARE THE GREATEST, I don't know how I managed to get lucky enough to find this but I am so happy I did<3 Well done, I am in love with everything about this<3 it was super fun and you guys are incredible, I wish you hundreds of thousands of years of good luck!!
i started playing this game at midnight and it's 7am now, how did that happen???? anyway i pretty much second what everyone else has (rightly!!) said about this game - it's so so so so so good!!!! i want to replay it again already. definitely looking forward to the sequel(?) after that epilogue teaser!!! i'm going to eagerly follow everything and anything else you put out - everything about this game was just so polished and charming and fun and real and and and aaaaaaaaa. also i read in another comment that this was these VAs first time officially VA-ing?? INSANE!!! they all did such an amazing job!!!!! i fell so hard for all the characters ;-; my highest compliments to everyone involved in making this what it is!!!
This game is so HOT DAMN DOPE!!! that made me warp from night to daylight because of being unstoppable to play it ;_; so I must leave bullet points of my love confession here v////v
- Cool gameplay, it seems inspired by MysticMessenger but it has its own aesthetic that I've never seen in PC Otome gameplay ever.
- All VA make all love interests x99999attractive and easily to simp even though the art is already gorgeous at my first sight
- I wanna adopt all characters TOT (EXCEPT THAT ONE THOT WHO HURT OUR MC ]-: ), Salo the great & cool grandpa everyone should have, and then xyx yeah LOL, why not ;)
- The discord server we all need, really want them as our real-life friend ;w;
- QUEST my most fav daddy and puppy at the same time, Nightowl my precious boii who we need to give a big support and attention, Toasty my cutie adorable awkward bean, and must-be-protect MC. They all deserve the love from each other even the *Spoiler-Censor Activated* BB. yeahhh
Btw, you guys developer and crew are awesome, looking forward to support you all in the future!!!
and...*SPOILER*
.
.
.
THAT ??? Epilogue is so questionable, I doubt that would be our Big Enormous cO*k user XD, right? how did he end up w/ mc(?) because they said they've met by the Bloomic discord. I could be wrong though.
this is so fantastic!! the storyline was super engaging and the characters are lovable as hell!! don't even get me started on the beautiful art, music & incredibly voice acting! it all felt so realistic, haha. im smiling so hard rn, pff... i love this so much <3
i´ve been looking for new otome options and this game blew my expectactions ! i love the way it actually feels like a discord server and how fun the calls were.. they made me feel all giddy inside. i would love though that maybe in the future we could be able to pick our preferred pronouns but other than that the game is amazing! especially how fun and diverse the characters are. i loved all the routes and the boys but nakedtoaster is my beloved<3
i want to thank you and your team for making such a refreshing and fun game, looking foward for you new proyects!
I'm currently doing my second playthrough and I've got to say, I love this to bits! I can't help but like every member of the server, and I can't help but covet the real feeling relationships everyone has in this game! Bravo team, the artwork and music are so good, and the story is something I can replay over and over!
Oh my gods, this game is perfect. Thank YOU for making this happen, robobarbie<3 I'll be thinking about this game for a long long time. Every route has their own pit-a-pat that makes my heart racing, can't even choose which one is my favorite!
*adding more to say i absolutely ADORE the music and sounds, the OST omg, one of the best out there.
also *SPOILER*
definitely did NOT regret picking xyx as the one who reminded me of xander. can't stop laughing!
DIS GAME IS AMAZING. I just finished Quest's route, and broooo I love him. And the interface. GUI is gorgeous. I love the comedic banters and the interactions between each character- it felt so real, like I'm actually in a a discord server. And the CALLS. It felt as if they're actually talking to me. Thank you for making this, keep it up! Now I shall continue to play the other routes.
I haven't even finished one playthrough yet, but I can't stop myself from commenting. This. Is. Phenomenal!?!
I have been smiling for an hour straight. My cheeks hurt. This is the cutest game?!? The server is amazing, I love every single character and they are all my children. They all have such unique and consistent and realistic personalities and it's just. Amazing. This makes me so happy. Like, I think it's going to be my new go-to comfort game. I can't wait to finish it, but at the same time I don't want to finish it. I love the server setup! It's such a unique way to code a renpy game. I haven't had this much fun since miraclr (I only mention it because it had a chat feature, too. This game feels completely unique in every other aspect!)
I gave this game 5 stars after the first 15 minutes of gameplay, but I'll come back with a proper review after I actually finish it haha. Great job, devs!
Edit: Someone please tell me why I just let a fictional man convince me to download FFXIV?? What am I doing??
Edit again: Okay, I finished all of the routes and. Wow. I love this game. I can't wait to see more from you guys. The extra epilogue you unlock at the end was so, so, so perfect. I have a crush.
Before I started playing, I was most intrigued by Nightowl. And for the first 15 or so minutes, I was convinced he was going to be my favorite route. So I decided to play Quest's route first because I entirely expected it to be a "get it out of the way" type situation. But I loved it and him so much?!? By the time I played Nightowl's route, I was still just thinking about Quest. Then I played Toasty's route and just... poor Nightowl. I do love him as a character, and his route was fun and charming, but it admittedly felt unbalanced. Obviously Toasty's route is going to be the meatiest because it's the "true" route and you uncover the big mystery of the server, but Quest's route had a lot of satisfying extra bits that I felt like Nightowl's was lacking a little bit. Altogether, all three routes were great. If I had to rank them, it would go: 1. Toasty 2. Quest 3. Nightowl.
But we all know the true hero of the game is xyx my beloved.
I JUST FINISHED XYX'S ROUTE OH MY GOD. When I first played this game I thought it was completely perfect. I only now realize that that can't be true because there was no xyx route. NOW it's perfect. I've just been screaming for like 3 hours.
i wish i could say all the things i am feeling now but english isnt my first language T-T ,,,, so thank you so much for this experience, this made me so happy, you have no idea!
my fav one is Quest, i fell so hard for him. i will definely look forward yours future projects. i loved this so so so much.
i cannot believe i am playing this for FREE, everything about this is amazing!!! TT_TT the concept of a discord based otome is so much fun and was executed so so well. i adored all the love interests they were very well written. and gosh!!! i could not stop snickering because of some of the convos sdfinsfisdf
i binge played this all in one night and now it's three in the morning and i dont know what to do with myself </3 how am i supposed to cope now that it's over? lol
there are so many things to gush about in this game but my brain is running at 2fps. this literally made my day, you and your team put together something phenomenal
Hi! Destini's friend here! The anti-scraper! I really, realllyyy enjoyed playing this!
I will admit, Toasty's gamer sensibilities ultimately drew me to him but also who doesn't love the charming ex-delinquent in Quest ;-; The video calls were a delight and server conversations were amazing (I LOVE U XYX BBYY)
Some favorite moments:
1) "Hm"
"Hm"
"Hm"
2) Any and all Quest dogpiling
3) Every single one of xyx's lines
4) NakedToaster: "You want to know the most fucked part of it?"
5) The absolute terror I felt in learning of bloom's sentience.
Anyway! I laughed a lot and got super soft as well. The conversations with the boys felt so genuine I couldn't stand it sometimes (positive LOL) Great job everyone! I'm looking forward to the sequel!! <3
I had a feeling this might wind up being my favourite one from the jam as soon as I saw the page cos I was really taken in by the sheer style of what I saw in the screenshots and character profiles! I haven't quite finished going through all of the submissions yet, but I've made it my mission to over the weekend. I still think this is gonna end up as my favorite though because I really love what I've played so far :3
Right now, Nightowl is my favourite, but that's liable to change the more I play xD We shall see. I just think that it's all incredibly well put together, aesthetically stunning, and just a real treat to play in general ^-^ I was pretty happy with my submission until I played this... now I feel as though I have a loooong way to go until I can make something as good as this! >.<
AHHHH THIS GAME IS SO GOOD, I'M SO GLAD I DECIDED TO PLAY IT. This game made me smile so much, I was so happy while playing. Thank you for such an amazing game!
THIS'S GAME WAS SO FUCKIGNFDIGJKDF GOOD?????????????
Jeez, I started playing at 12 AM (something like that) and only managed to stop at 4 AM because I had to go to sleep. It was INSANE.
I literally was smiling for hours straight. This's so stupid. Stupid, I say! How dare you to make me SO incredible happy & silly like this.
The dialogues/messages are SO REAL. As someone very lonely, this's made me feel like I had real friends. It felt good, refreshing.
And the interface! The art! So beautiful! Everything's so well done! The voice acting is top tier and the calls are so real too. THE MUSIC! SO.FUCKING.GOOD. THE BOYS! THE BLUSHING, JESUS—
I'm sorry I'm like this. It's just—, I can't even put into words how much I loved this game.
Thank you SO MUCH for making it.
I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to your next projects. :')
The calls were sooo realistic :o I felt like I'm talking to the guys *-* Amazing. The story, the setting are cool - I was freaking out in toasty's route, tbh :D Something about those effects really gets to me ^^; I loved all the chat dwellers, and the fandom felt really natural to me :) All the trolling and banter too! I also adore how there are pretty hard topics brought into the mix - I think games really help to come to terms with stuff like that sometimes
So thanks a lot for making this game, I wish you all the best of luck with your future projects!
OH MY GOODNESS IT IS 2 AM RN, I JUST FINISHED PLAYING ALL THREE ROUTES, AND I'M JUST ASDFGHJKL-
That was so cute!!!! I loved each and every single route, the plot twists always had me audibly reacting, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't go "awwww" every time the boys got flustered or said something sweet (which was a lot! Thank you for the food lolll)
I really enjoyed the voice acting and the art style, I felt like they fit the game perfectly! And ofc, I fell in love with each and every single member of the server because let's face it: they're all precious! The dynamic of the server made me think of the discord server I'm in! While I'm sad to say we don't have an exceptionally creative bot anonymously penning a story for us to freak out over, we do always have a good time and care about each other and this game reminded me of that in the best way possible!
Thank you for a wonderful experience with a beautiful message of growth and acceptance!!!
awwwwwwww i appreciate this comment so much :sob: and i'm glad their story resonated with you!! i was really hoping people would be able to think back on their own discord servers while playing!! <3 and yes, the composers ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!
A really fun game! The love interests are all endearing in their on ways and you will end up liking each one of them before you even realize it!! I would just adivise ppl who had a hard time with school or that have ADHD to be carefull with nightowl's route since it has a major plot point of ppl calling him stupid for forgeting stuff and all which can be too close to home (still worth playing through it tho but if it's too much for you remember to take care of yourself). BTW please listen to the dev and play ALL routes before doing Toasty's, it's gonne be worth it in the end I promise <3
Quick question(has spoilers!!!!!): How did the MC was able to meet Quest and nightowl at the end of their routes? Since we know Bloombot doesn't let any personal info to be shared even during voice chat? In Toasty's route it makes sense since it envolves ending the censorship all toghether so I got curious as to how it was possible with it still going on, you know?
Anyway, thanks for the game it was one of the best I played this year lol I literally made an account here just to rate this hehe
I was thinking of creative ways to get around it, like coming up with a math problem to give out a number. lololol I loved thinking out creative ways to get around it lol
My favorite boy? Well damn, I liked them all in different ways.
Nightowl is that kid I wanna root for and support (not to mention, I vibe with him about staying up), Quest is that guy who's plain sweet and pleasant to be with, and Toasty is... well, I just like boys with long hair ok? I also liked his voice. He's also cute-awkward. And while I don't play XIV, I'd totally play with him (as long as he pays for my sub =w=).
Buuut if I really gotta pick... I'd say Quest for his backstory. Idk, I'm just happy for him that he got back up after what happened to him. I also liked *SPOILER* how we get into chat with both Night and Toasty on his route. Somehow, I also liked his route's plotline with the 'troll' and I'm just... HAHA MOD POWERS GO. Wish we could have roasted that guy more >:D Lowkey wondering how the other boys would deal with it *SPOILER*
Anyway, I ended up binging the game and it's like 4:00am rn and I'm totally shaking hands with Night for this.
Also lemme just say that my little brother was watching me play Night's route and said he liked the (smug) teddybear in his room XD
the smug teddybear is my favorite!!!! also yeah, the writer for quest's route did a really good job of incorporating discord-y elements into it to make it seem more realistic, like mod powers (which we eventually added to the other routes too!). we're very happy you loved the experience <3
holy shit i really am simping for a (fictional) discord mod rn. anyway AMAZING game i can't imagine how long it took to figure out everything. the dialogue is to die for and i just AHHHH!! this game is so good 10/10 recommend!!
The story was so sweet and I would still choose Quest😆. Toast was too cute. Eveything about the game is good from designing and character. I m still stuck on nightowl though, i keep getting the other route. And one last time thank you for giving us a blast experience😆😆😆😆.
this is one of my fava games now - surprised that this is even free! the whole game is professionally made (esp w the server thing and the va's, that mustve took too long D:)
what's with the "???" on the epilogue,,,, is it really xyx?!
anyways nakedtoaster u are very cool <3
that song at the menu sang by the va's are amazing vv much :D i hope u guys have more games to play involving mystery shit !!
awwwww thank you!! and the VAs absolutely KILLED IT :DD we definitely have some more mystery otome games coming, and one of them will be featuring our very own xyx :D
I got Nights good ending on the first try! Ah but I did save just before so I could feel the pain of the bad ending... Not fun at all. I just love him too much. Also, the game is amazing, everyone was so fun and I couldn't wait for the next call!
ngl even though onion acts the way they do, I was kinda sad there was no call... I find them charming for some reason.
Aww we're glad you liked it!! That epilogue is a little teaser for our sequel game coming out for the next otome jam, which will be all about that secret person!!
The game looks stunning and the interactions between the members feels natural, props to all who have participated in the game development <3 I have to say though, is there any plan to make a specific walkthrough? I just can't seem to get nightowl's good ending and I don't exactly know why :(
Oh no! I posted a tiny guide on what to do under MilkChompz's comment, but since we have two comments about this now we'll make a walkthrough tomorrow!!
an onion fan!!! :OOO i'm glad he has some fans!! how to get nightowl under the cut -

nightowl's route is a little about learning to support him without putting pressure on him. try going back and selecting options that show you aren't ignoring him, or show that you are more interested in him being happy than just passing his test. the final call is also a little challenging, since he's very sensitive to how you word things.
let us know if you still need help!! we can post a full walkthrough if needed :D
(edit: oh, also about seeing more onion later on, you'll see him a bit in other routes, but only the three main love interests have video calls!)
I just finished Quest and NakedToster's Route and I must say I am absolutely in LOVE with them. The voice acting is so genuine (Especially NT's). How do you access NightOwls route?
hello!!! i'm glad you like the game so far!!! you can access nightowl's route by basically selecting all options at the beginning that have to do with staying up late or have a lot of !! in them, AND you say damien did the right thing during the fanart conversation. let me know if you still have issues!!
that as literally the cutest thing i've ever played, and now i'm playing it again.
firstly, can I just talk about the design and all that- I'm legit impressed about how it felt so much like discord, it actually felt like it was real and happening in real life.
as for the characters and route, I've played all three routes AND IBVEINFV NIGHTOWL- his route was so adorable, I cant even describe it, seriously HE is adorable I just love it to the point where im at loss of words.
also the music channel rieguegb loved that
it was just an incredible experience, I love it and thank u <3
Oh. My. God. I don't comment on games but I just have to for this.
I just.. WOW. I finished the game just now and I am so so impressed!!
The discord, everyone felt so real- especially the voice calls. I could seriously imagine all of it happening irl and even some moments reminded me of my own discord server.
I everyone was so loveable, funny and endearing. Also to get back to the voice calls?? a m a z i n g It really has that idk how to call it- that raw? feel- that I could imagine talking to someone like that- that the emotions portrayed were realistic!!
I can't truly describe how much of a ride it was and how beautiful it was.
:sob: i'm so happy it felt real to you and reminded you of your own experiences!! that's exactly what we hoped for!!! :DD your kind words sustain us!!!
Ahhh this game was so much fun! the server felt totally real and all the characters are great! I love all of the boys but my favorite is Toasty for sure, I just loved his voice acting and his personality! (he's so cute) Quest is probably my second favorite? I liked his story more than NightOwl's, also tattoos :o. Moving on to NightOwl he's adorable! I think I just really didn't his lash outs it kinda lowered him on my list but that's probably a good thing makes him more real! Anyway you've totally convinced to follow and keep a look out for any other games!
I just finished it, and I definitely recommend it, it's so well made, especially for an otome jam- I honestly thought it would be only a demo for a commercial game-.Congrats is all I have to say to your team, and I will be looking forward to your new projects <3
PS. That 4th epilogue ruined me, excuse me I demand more of it now, don't leave me hanging??

i was wondering if there was a soundtrack though? the song that plays at the main menu sounds really good!
edit: ahaha i looked more closely and saw where i could find the song!
Oh my gods, this game is perfect. Thank YOU for making this happen, robobarbie<3 I'll be thinking about this game for a long long time. Every route has their own pit-a-pat that makes my heart racing, can't even choose which one is my favorite!

Jeez, I started playing at 12 AM (something like that) and only managed to stop at 4 AM because I had to go to sleep. It was INSANE.
I literally was smiling for hours straight. This's so stupid. Stupid, I say! How dare you to make me SO incredible happy & silly like this.
The dialogues/messages are SO REAL. As someone very lonely, this's made me feel like I had real friends. It felt good, refreshing.
And the interface! The art! So beautiful! Everything's so well done! The voice acting is top tier and the calls are so real too. THE MUSIC! SO.FUCKING.GOOD. THE BOYS! THE BLUSHING, JESUS—
I'm sorry I'm like this. It's just—, I can't even put into words how much I loved this game.
Thank you SO MUCH for making it.
I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to your next projects. :')
The calls were sooo realistic :o I felt like I'm talking to the guys *-* Amazing.
The story, the setting are cool - I was freaking out in toasty's route, tbh :D Something about those effects really gets to me ^^;
I loved all the chat dwellers, and the fandom felt really natural to me :) All the trolling and banter too!
I also adore how there are pretty hard topics brought into the mix - I think games really help to come to terms with stuff like that sometimes
So thanks a lot for making this game, I wish you all the best of luck with your future projects!
i'm so happy you liked it!! we look forward to seeing you play our future projects :DD
OH MY GOODNESS IT IS 2 AM RN, I JUST FINISHED PLAYING ALL THREE ROUTES, AND I'M JUST ASDFGHJKL-
That was so cute!!!! I loved each and every single route, the plot twists always had me audibly reacting, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't go "awwww" every time the boys got flustered or said something sweet (which was a lot! Thank you for the food lolll)
I really enjoyed the voice acting and the art style, I felt like they fit the game perfectly! And ofc, I fell in love with each and every single member of the server because let's face it: they're all precious! The dynamic of the server made me think of the discord server I'm in! While I'm sad to say we don't have an exceptionally creative bot anonymously penning a story for us to freak out over, we do always have a good time and care about each other and this game reminded me of that in the best way possible!
Thank you for a wonderful experience with a beautiful message of growth and acceptance!!!
- a new Bloomic fan <3
P.S. The music SLAPPED!!!
awwwwwwww i appreciate this comment so much :sob: and i'm glad their story resonated with you!! i was really hoping people would be able to think back on their own discord servers while playing!! <3 and yes, the composers ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!
hey, how can i do nightowl route?
i have done quest one and toasty's too but i can't do the nightowl one :((
Here's the link to the Nightowl walkthrough! Enjoy!!!🥰
https://robobarbie.itch.io/blooming-panic/devlog/270044/nightowl-walkthrough
A really fun game! The love interests are all endearing in their on ways and you will end up liking each one of them before you even realize it!! I would just adivise ppl who had a hard time with school or that have ADHD to be carefull with nightowl's route since it has a major plot point of ppl calling him stupid for forgeting stuff and all which can be too close to home (still worth playing through it tho but if it's too much for you remember to take care of yourself). BTW please listen to the dev and play ALL routes before doing Toasty's, it's gonne be worth it in the end I promise <3
Quick question(has spoilers!!!!!): How did the MC was able to meet Quest and nightowl at the end of their routes? Since we know Bloombot doesn't let any personal info to be shared even during voice chat? In Toasty's route it makes sense since it envolves ending the censorship all toghether so I got curious as to how it was possible with it still going on, you know?
Anyway, thanks for the game it was one of the best I played this year lol I literally made an account here just to rate this hehe
awwwww we're honored!! i'm glad you really loved the game!!!
we don't have a necessarily canon way that they all managed to meet up, but you're more than welcome to come puzzle out theories in our server!
I was thinking of creative ways to get around it, like coming up with a math problem to give out a number. lololol I loved thinking out creative ways to get around it lol
Uhm let's see, I don't know where to start...
My favorite boy? Well damn, I liked them all in different ways.
Nightowl is that kid I wanna root for and support (not to mention, I vibe with him about staying up), Quest is that guy who's plain sweet and pleasant to be with, and Toasty is... well, I just like boys with long hair ok? I also liked his voice. He's also cute-awkward. And while I don't play XIV, I'd totally play with him (as long as he pays for my sub =w=).
Buuut if I really gotta pick... I'd say Quest for his backstory. Idk, I'm just happy for him that he got back up after what happened to him. I also liked *SPOILER* how we get into chat with both Night and Toasty on his route. Somehow, I also liked his route's plotline with the 'troll' and I'm just... HAHA MOD POWERS GO. Wish we could have roasted that guy more >:D Lowkey wondering how the other boys would deal with it *SPOILER*
Anyway, I ended up binging the game and it's like 4:00am rn and I'm totally shaking hands with Night for this.
Also lemme just say that my little brother was watching me play Night's route and said he liked the (smug) teddybear in his room XD
the smug teddybear is my favorite!!!! also yeah, the writer for quest's route did a really good job of incorporating discord-y elements into it to make it seem more realistic, like mod powers (which we eventually added to the other routes too!). we're very happy you loved the experience <3
holy shit i really am simping for a (fictional) discord mod rn. anyway AMAZING game i can't imagine how long it took to figure out everything. the dialogue is to die for and i just AHHHH!! this game is so good 10/10 recommend!!
awwww he deserves some love!! we definitely worked long into the night sometimes, but it was worth it to see all of you enjoy it so much!!
i m with you for simping😆😆😆😆
The story was so sweet and I would still choose Quest😆. Toast was too cute. Eveything about the game is good from designing and character. I m still stuck on nightowl though, i keep getting the other route. And one last time thank you for giving us a blast experience😆😆😆😆.
i'm glad you love quest!! he's very sweet!!!!! if you are still stuck, i posted a walkthrough here that should help you out.
thank you so much.Definetly need a sequel😆😆😆
this is one of my fava games now - surprised that this is even free! the whole game is professionally made (esp w the server thing and the va's, that mustve took too long D:)
what's with the "???" on the epilogue,,,, is it really xyx?!
anyways nakedtoaster u are very cool <3
that song at the menu sang by the va's are amazing vv much :D i hope u guys have more games to play involving mystery shit !!
awwwww thank you!! and the VAs absolutely KILLED IT :DD we definitely have some more mystery otome games coming, and one of them will be featuring our very own xyx :D
can't wait for that honestly but im p sure it's gonna be great :D i hope u guys continue making these awesome games :D
AHH NIGHTOWL!!!! I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I got Nights good ending on the first try! Ah but I did save just before so I could feel the pain of the bad ending... Not fun at all. I just love him too much. Also, the game is amazing, everyone was so fun and I couldn't wait for the next call!
ngl even though onion acts the way they do, I was kinda sad there was no call... I find them charming for some reason.
ANYWAYS 10/10 GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL i'm surprised by how many onion fans are out there!! i'm glad you liked nightowl!!!!
I finish all three route and its heaven ♥ I love the voice actor for all the hot dude but how do i get the mysterious 4th person route?
Aww we're glad you liked it!! That epilogue is a little teaser for our sequel game coming out for the next otome jam, which will be all about that secret person!!
♥ Omg I can't wait! I really am getting into this!
The game looks stunning and the interactions between the members feels natural, props to all who have participated in the game development <3 I have to say though, is there any plan to make a specific walkthrough? I just can't seem to get nightowl's good ending and I don't exactly know why :(
Oh no! I posted a tiny guide on what to do under MilkChompz's comment, but since we have two comments about this now we'll make a walkthrough tomorrow!!
Started by playin nightowl and ended up getting his bad ending, is there requirements to get him to succeed or atleast a good ending?
Also ended liking Onion and got kinda sidetracked and sad that the onion call ended up not happening :(, will we see more of Oniom later on?
an onion fan!!! :OOO i'm glad he has some fans!! how to get nightowl under the cut -

nightowl's route is a little about learning to support him without putting pressure on him. try going back and selecting options that show you aren't ignoring him, or show that you are more interested in him being happy than just passing his test. the final call is also a little challenging, since he's very sensitive to how you word things.
let us know if you still need help!! we can post a full walkthrough if needed :D
(edit: oh, also about seeing more onion later on, you'll see him a bit in other routes, but only the three main love interests have video calls!)
only main love interests have video calls? oh darn...guess we have to get onion a route /s
I just finished Quest and NakedToster's Route and I must say I am absolutely in LOVE with them. The voice acting is so genuine (Especially NT's). How do you access NightOwls route?
hello!!! i'm glad you like the game so far!!! you can access nightowl's route by basically selecting all options at the beginning that have to do with staying up late or have a lot of !! in them, AND you say damien did the right thing during the fanart conversation. let me know if you still have issues!!
AAAAAH! THANK YOU FOR THIS GAME! i met the love of my life here (Quest)! hehehe jk
anyway this is really damnnn goood! the design, voice acting, the STORY!! IM SO IN LOVEEE WITH EVERYTHING (and with Quest too hehe)
im not really into nightowl's route tho, but i understand its not for everyone! he's still very cute!
and im really loving Quest and NakedToaster's route! i am their simp! i'll give them everything god damn!
u did a really great job on this game! i'll be following to see other good stuffs you make!
JDKFSHFKJDSHFD this comment made us die laughing!! i'm glad you love Quest!!! he's a very good boy!!!!
that as literally the cutest thing i've ever played, and now i'm playing it again.
firstly, can I just talk about the design and all that- I'm legit impressed about how it felt so much like discord, it actually felt like it was real and happening in real life.
as for the characters and route, I've played all three routes AND IBVEINFV NIGHTOWL- his route was so adorable, I cant even describe it, seriously HE is adorable I just love it to the point where im at loss of words.
also the music channel rieguegb loved that
it was just an incredible experience, I love it and thank u <3
we're SO happy you like the music channel!!! it's a fun thing that i hope more players notice and mess around with :DD also yessss nightowl love!!!
Oh. My. God. I don't comment on games but I just have to for this.
I just.. WOW. I finished the game just now and I am so so impressed!!
The discord, everyone felt so real- especially the voice calls. I could seriously imagine all of it happening irl and even some moments reminded me of my own discord server.
I everyone was so loveable, funny and endearing. Also to get back to the voice calls?? a m a z i n g
It really has that idk how to call it- that raw? feel- that I could imagine talking to someone like that- that the emotions portrayed were realistic!!
I can't truly describe how much of a ride it was and how beautiful it was.
Just.. 10000000/10
:sob: i'm so happy it felt real to you and reminded you of your own experiences!! that's exactly what we hoped for!!! :DD your kind words sustain us!!!
This game was so much fun!! I loved the memes lol.
LOL thank you!!
Ahhh this game was so much fun! the server felt totally real and all the characters are great! I love all of the boys but my favorite is Toasty for sure, I just loved his voice acting and his personality! (he's so cute) Quest is probably my second favorite? I liked his story more than NightOwl's, also tattoos :o. Moving on to NightOwl he's adorable! I think I just really didn't his lash outs it kinda lowered him on my list but that's probably a good thing makes him more real! Anyway you've totally convinced to follow and keep a look out for any other games!
Awwww, I appreciate the support!! Toasty's voice actor did an incredible job, so I'm glad he's topping some people's lists!!
I just finished it, and I definitely recommend it, it's so well made, especially for an otome jam- I honestly thought it would be only a demo for a commercial game-.Congrats is all I have to say to your team, and I will be looking forward to your new projects <3
PS. That 4th epilogue ruined me, excuse me I demand more of it now, don't leave me hanging??
LOL, glad you enjoyed it!! you'll be seeing more about that 4th epilogue next year, so stay tuned ~
love this so much <3
super cute but also funny, art style is super cute and loved the voice acting it just feels hella professional C:
nakedtoaster has helped with my ffxiv burnout overall 10 outta 10
DSJKFHJKDSJFHS we joke in the dev server that this game is secretly just an ad for FFXIV, so i'm glad (?) it worked :DD
Hello everyone! You can now find the Blooming Panic OST here!
man this was so cute! so professional and well done and FREE, a miracle tbh
the idea is so cool, i've never seen anything quite like it before, I have to say that it feels so much like a real discord server it's unbelievable.
Awww, that's what we were going for 100%. I'm glad it felt real!! :DD
this is just what i had been looking for for so long! so charming and engaging, congratulations!!! i love it! and i love quest!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!! More Quest love!!! :DDD
