This game is genuinely so important to me. I fell in love, head first, with all of the characters and never wanted their routes or the game as a whole to end
The discord chat and the way the characters talked never felt gimmicky or weird at all, even though some games/movies/etc that use the whole Online Chat thing as a basis definitely would lol. They all felt so wonderful and real and it made this an absolutely lovely game to play
No one route felt any better constructed or like more love was put into it, they all were very heartwarming and heart wrenching in their own ways which made them all interesting and fun!
The voice acting is absolutely superb!! Made the video calls a true delight, especially :o)
Overall, Blooming Panic is truly one of my favorite dating sims I've ever played and I doubt it'll lose that title <3 Thank you @ everyone involved in bringing this game to life!!!!!
Is it possible to have a Toaster in real life? :')) Kiddings aside (not really :'D), I really appreciate how authentic the characters in this game is, even the side characters. They chat and act like real people and with the discord format, it's hard not to be immediately immersed. I love love love the romance here too! I love all the boys, but Toaster has won my heart and he's honestly so precious <3 Honestly a great game with well - written characters, good music, SEXY voice acting, and would 10000% recommend to others, thank you.
I JUST FINISHED NIGHTOWL AND I'M CRYING THAT WAS SO CUTE LITERALLY GETTING CUTENESS AGGRESSION RIGHT NOW SHIT GAVE ME BUTTERFLIES AWWW <333 His character feels so realistic!!! An amazingly written character and his whole relationship with the mc is just so damn adorable I love it!!! 10/10 can't wait to try the other routes! But honestly think he's my favorite without even trying the other ones lol I love that man and need more content of him!!! This game is adorable! THANK YOU DEVSS
After seeing this game pop up around my socials for weeks on end, I finally dove in two nights ago and unexpectedly fell in love. As an avid user of Discord, the aesthetic already appealed to me, but you nailed it on every level. It truly felt like I was navigating the app and every character spoke in styles I've seen real people use! So many times, I stopped and went "omg they type just like x person!" The art only added to the captivating appeal. Plus, I've been leaving the main menu open just to jam to the theme song for longer than I'd care to admit.
Normally in dating sims, certain characters feel more fleshed out or just more "right" to date than others. Not so here. Not whatsoever. Everyone had their time in the spotlight, and I found myself thinking "surely I won't like this next candidate as much" before falling all over again. They each had such interesting and unique quirks to their character types, and the way their stories developed were intriguing, endearing, and made the player care about what happened to them. That is no easy feat.
MAJOR shoutout to all of the central voice actors! Xyx, in particular, blew me away. The way he delivered each line was so organic that it helped the relationship feel much more authentic, especially with a character that could've easily felt the opposite otherwise. I truly hope that, in future games you make, these VAs make a return!
Thank you for developing such a special game. I truly hope to see more of it in the future, be it in this same universe or simply replicating its style, because it felt so...distinctive. Like it left a fingerprint on the gaming world I'd been waiting for. But even if not, consider me a long-haul supporter of any robobarbie games :)
Wow I loved this game so much! Really inspires me to work on my own stories and art more. xyx reminded me the most of myself and reminded me of my own struggles in online friend groups. He was also a pain like myself. NakedToaster was cute af. My fantasy route would be both of them at once lol
The side characters were so charming, too! I really felt that acceptance and belonging. Honestly, this game really set a new standard for visual novel immersion for me. Had to force a few friends to play, similar to the FFXIV speech. :)
So I actually downloaded this on a whim one night and then started to play and then just...didn't stop. I remember opening up the game and the interface literally blew my mind. It was so fleshed out and well done. It had become one of my top.
All the routes were so sweet. I especially loved nightowl and xyx's routes/VA's. I'm actually going to replay soon. There's just something about staring at my screen of a character who is just so animated and well written, as if really in a call and its just so immersive. I really love this and I am THIS close to writing fanfic for this game.
Please do I can't find many fanfics on this and I need something to read on it I am dying from suffering! Anyways, if you do write a fanfic feel free to let me know the name of it I would love to read it :)
the concept is unique and so well-written!! it's also accurate to my discord experience ++ the characters feels really real.. how is that possible?? :( it's just amazing :D
This game is the reason I created an account here because I needed to say how much I loved it. It's been a few weeks since I played and I'm still thinking about the unique story, the characters, the beautiful art, the lovely voice overs. I was really amazed by how quickly I was taken by the story and so impressed by all the work that was put into the love interests. I will replay this game without doubt :) Until then I will listen to the Blooming panic song on repeat (because it is so good !!).
Awww, this was such a sweet game!! My heart is literally dying - I can't take itttt. Amazing game! I hope there's more coming... or something like that... haha
Oh myy goosshh!! I love everything about this game!! I managed to finish all of their good endings and boyyyy I can't choose favorites!! IT WAS SOOO GOOOD!! I also loved the voice acting in this, it brings out the story more!! Gosh, their routes are just soo WONDERFUL and INTERESTING!! My best was Toastyyy, I just can't even with him>~<!! Thank you for making this and on top of that its free too!! I really really loved it!!^^ Oh, and I also loved the music in this game, the opening song and the kazoo HAHAHA loved it!
What a wonderful game, I was surprised it's free!! All the characters are soooo interesting, I was just playing nightowls route because I had seen the old ver of quest's but I actually lowkey fell in love with him too, even if I didn't really mean too.
Another thing I loved was that there was a addition with pronouns because it really upset me seeing the old version didn't have that because I wanted to play this game, and not have that issue yk?
For my first route I got nightowls good end without guide, and last one was xyx with guide. Also I found it interesting that there was a bit more than the dating aspect to this game and bloomnini I wouldn't mind to make some actual fanart of because that story element was so captivating.
10/10 Would replay this again like my first time playing
I literally created an account just to talk about how good this game is<333.I can absolutely say that this is my top favorite otome games ever.I got this game by a friend’s suggestion because I just finished my school year and had a lot of free time on my hands.This was a really fun game to play goodness I love everything about it.Especially since I got Quest route from the start without putting up too much effort to go satisfy him.As if the game knew Quest was the first one that caught my eye on the website BAHAHAHAHSHS but really I cannot tell you in words how I had absolute joy playing this game the entire time.
I’m literally so glad that I didn’t have to play the next day(IRL I mean)and cry over my excitement to play it more unlike the other games I played.Not only,that I was literally screaming,crying,and almost banged my head on my desk just to calm my abnormal rate of my heart as I go play Quest’s route like wth.He felt so real,wait no,ALL the character’s somehow felt so real and I love the fact that they all have a really interesting and fun personalities.It somehow even felt like they were real<33.Anyways I can’t wait to continue playing for Xyx route tomorrow and hear his voice<33THANK YOU TO THE CREATORS FOR MAKING THIS GAME I can literally die happy rn I hope both sides of your pillow is cold tonight<33333.
Ok so xyx started being my favourite while I was playing the other routes cause I thought he was hilarious...I thought his route would be interesting. But omg I didn't expect him to look like THAT. JESUS. I was picturing him as his little avatar. I almost had a heart attack.
I got Xyx's bad ending the first playthrough, and I'm not gonna lie, I cried for 2 hours. This is a super amazing game. All the routes were roller coasters of emotion and each ending either made me insanely happy or very depressed. I haven't encountered a game that can invoke that much emotion from me in a long time. I'm really sad this is over but I'm super excited to see what else you come up with in the future. Keep up the fantastic work!
The game is wonderful, everything is so immersive, as if you were really inside that reality. I was so sad when it ended, I will miss the conversations </3 haha
Now that I've had this game for two months with endless plays and deep-diving into character's backstories I feel as though I can finally put some of my thoughts into words. I saw this game by chance on Tumblr by seeing a mutual live-blog their play through of it and I was instantly hooked (this is just like discord for real). At first, I didn't know (HELP IT POSTED WHEN I HADN'T FINISHED TYPING I'M SO SORRY) how much these characters were going to mean to me and I'm grateful for going into this game somewhat blind. The way the stories of all the characters are so unique and are so realistic makes me look at the world in a new way. I have been going through some things recently and I'm incredibly lucky to have such a well-rounded game to help escape for a little while every now and then. Not only this game, but the community itself has been so welcoming to anyone and everyone which is reflective of what you all have achieved.
To every single one of you who had input on this game, you are so talented and I am so grateful for all your hard work and long hours. You all deserve the recognition you receive and I cannot wait to see how far you will all go. Much love and appreciation to you all~
It's hard to explain, but when I downloaded the game and clicked on the application it takes me to WinRAR and I open the game from there. Just look up WinRAR and download it and try again.
omgomgomg- THIS GAME IS SO SO SO GOOD DUDEEEEE!! omg you put so much love and care into this game and its so wonderful to see!! ive been playing this game for a little over a week now and finally got all the endings and omg... i cannot believe how good this game is like frfr!! i love all the li's... i literally cant choose a fave theyre all written so well 😭 i literally cannot believe this game is free i will be replaying and replaying this game for a while no joke tysm for making this game <33333
I loved that game so much that, after completing xyx route, I just couldn't even try to romance the others.. It is just so well done ! Thanks for rhis amazing games !
this doesn't feel like a free game; it's so well done and all the characters are fleshed out - the devs are insane to make this game. they didn't even have to add voice lines BUT THEY DID ! And it even made the game better than it is ! All of the characters, even the NPCs, are so relatable and real that it feels like you're just talking to your online friends on discord. And fandom culture in chatrooms and forums is evident,, the discourse, sharing of fanarts and fangirling - so realistic !
thank you so much for making this game ! it really got me through some rough times, and i applaud you for making the save system have 9 tabs instead of just 3 save slots. that was a necessity i didn't know i needed ^^;
BEST OTOME EVER I LOVED THE VOICE ACTING AND HOW THEY ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE PPL AND NOT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, i was wondering if you ever plan on making a part 2 or you know, sometihing extra

Biglady/June/Two/onion routes when
Also i love this tf the discord idea was so good
seconding for the onion route, seems like an interesting person!
He honestly seems like a pretty well written and realistic character, it’s a shame he’s so under used
This game is genuinely so important to me. I fell in love, head first, with all of the characters and never wanted their routes or the game as a whole to end

your pronouns should changeable from the start of the game, you might be playing the old version if you can't seem to change your pronouns

Ok so xyx started being my favourite while I was playing the other routes cause I thought he was hilarious...I thought his route would be interesting. But omg I didn't expect him to look like THAT. JESUS. I was picturing him as his little avatar. I almost had a heart attack.

Okay so... I can not find another game that compares...
no game will ever compare to this masterpiece.
I'm actually genuinely distraught... Like, I've lost hope of finding any game with this level of immersion!
i feel you T

I got Xyx's bad ending the first playthrough, and I'm not gonna lie, I cried for 2 hours. This is a super amazing game. All the routes were roller coasters of emotion and each ending either made me insanely happy or very depressed. I haven't encountered a game that can invoke that much emotion from me in a long time.
