Fighting for my life. I went into this thinking it was happy-go-lucky and then BOOM bad end 😭
Great writing though! Before the end of my first run, I felt connected with every character and that made it so much more poignant. I'm nowhere near done with this game yet but it's already in my favorite VN folder. Wonderful game!
IM CRYING. THE FIRST ROUTE I DID I GOT THE BAD ENDING FOR XYX. AND IT WAS JUST WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY DO INA SITUATION. OMG IM CRYING AM I REALLY THAT BAD :,)
Onion when tho I wanna see whats behind that moody bih
Jokes aside, the urge to make fan characters of this game is MORE THAN PALPABLE "We might as well be married and i dont even know your real name, smh"
That aside, i did this in the order of; Xyx (by just doing what i would normally do in a situation like this), Quest, NightOwl, then NakedToaster. I should have done this sooner istg
SUCH A GOOD GAME. it's short but god there's just something about it that makes it easy to come back to and play over and over! i'm a big quest simp but all the other routes were really good as well! only con was how long it took me to figure out how to get xyx's good ending *sob*
OH MY GOD. I just finished Toasty's route and it had me crying by the end of it!! It was a rollercoaster of emotions. This game is truly a masterpiece among otomes, and I've played Many. When I first played through Bloomic, I got NightOwl's route and I instantly fell in love with his character. The writing in this has been amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat. Quest's route was also really cute but at the same time the drama! Wow. I just need to complete xyx's route. I'm really sad that I'll never be able to play this game "For the First Time" ever again. That was an experience, and I loved every part of it. The voiced lines really added to the atmosphere of it too! Sorry this review has been all over the place lol, I'm just feeling a lot of things right now. Thank you for making this game! I really loved it.
Bro when I tell you this game is amazing so far! I love the routes! Haven't gotten to Toasty yet, but I am so stumped with XYX's good ending! I am determined to find his ending!
I played the original when it came out, and just played the complete version. I liked the additions, made it more amazing than it already was! Don't think I would want to change a thing.
this was aMAZING. Just absolutely incredible. I got Quest first and fell in love, but then I did xyx and not me over her sobbing! All of the routes were amazing, but something about xyx is just so sad... but also so happy and I just love it and him!!!!!!<3
Ahh, so I've just completed all 8 endings and let me tell you, I adore this game so fucking much and highly recommend playing it.
All the characters are so incredibly charming in their own way that it's so hard for me to settle on a favourite (usually I have a clear fav in these type of games). All the characters are so relatable in different ways varying in personality and experiences - I especially found xyx intriguing which surprised me cos I guess I didn't know what to expect for his type of character and Quest is more of the type of guy I would go for, haha. And since I got attached to all characters quite quickly, their bad endings hurt me so badly - especially Nightowl's </3 (WHICH AGAIN, SURPRISED ME).
The voice acting for all characters was so endearing, I legitimately can't decide with I like more. The interactions between the main love interests and side characters are so authentic and loveable too. I even wish the MC could call and speak with them too - like SalociN was so bloody cute. OH AND the features! Oh my god- I loved being able to change the music.
Ahh, just overall this game is so brilliant and charming. Really happy I came across it. Really, incredible work to everyone who played a part in producing such a high-quality and well-developed game.
I'll come back and write a more detailed review at some point probably, I played this game before xyx route and loved it and still love it and play the routes through like all the time, when I want a game to play but don't know what to play, this is my go to game.
However, the reason I made the review in the start was to tell you that I hope you see this and know that I started playing ffxiv because of NakedToaster.
(I also made him in character customisation in ffxiv, but shh, lol)
Now that I've finished this game, I feel so empty inside lmao. The love interests are cute and witty and funny and hot. The calls were lovely and the chats were hilariously authentic. I laughed a lot, squealed out of excitement a few times and also cried a bit (only a bit though hehe).
99/10 would recommend this game and now I'm definitely craving for my own discord boyfriend.
I just finished them all, and now I'm eternally sad. I just want more of them. It was so well-done. I've fallen in love with each of the characters (which I never thought would happen/was possible). I loved everything about this - the development, the plots, the characters, the voices, the music and music integration, even the story within the story (I wanted to read it, haha). I wish there were more games like this, but also selfishly that there will be more of these guys.
YES, JUST YES. Love all the characters couldn't choose only one of them to SAVE MY LIFE.
On a more serious note: congrats and thanks to everyone involved in this game!!! It's so so good, every aspect of it is just amazing and I had a blast playing this on my own and with friends. The conflict for each route is just so well thought out and it hits really hard, the fluff is also incredible. 10/10 would let Quest call me angel again.
This was super adorable, fun, and well made! I both hated and loved that you had to play certain routes to get the other- i would have played it the way it was intended anyway but i also like knowing all my options right at the start- but i dont begrudge it at all, i think its underused in otome as a storytelling device. The art was really nice and the interface, sound effects, everything felt very genuine like i was on a chat server hanging out with friends. I wish there were more photos that were sent in the chat and it went on a tiny bit longer, and more of the ending would have been nice, but it was overall a wonderful game with a very satisfying playfeel and overarching story. I also did tear up a bit at the end (the true end). My favorite is probably Quest. I was sort of hoping for onion boi to have a route but xyx and toasty were great too.
And just as a personal aside, as someone who lost my partner 5ish years ago, and have never moved on since- playing games like this is one of my coping mechanisms- it was very touching hearing what salo said and seeing him living his best life. It means a lot to see stories like that being told in media, as widows/widowers and those who mourn are oft overlooked. The hero of the story dies, and the curtains close.. but what of those who mourn him? Anyway... I just really appreciate it. Thank you devs. A beautiful and touching game, that was genuinely fun and unique. You all did a wonderful job together. I hope to see more.
okay so, retyping my comment after actually finishing all the routes:
I love all the characters (save for societyboy) and especially the love interests. I finished xyx and quests routes first and initially thought that they'd be the best and I should've saved them for last, buut after finishing all of them I seriously can't pick a favorite.
still wishing onionthief was an li though, I really like him
This is the first game I've binged in ages! I really enjoyed it and I had a lot of fun. This game is quite unique! I found all the love interests to be charming as well. I can't believe this game is free, it's clear a lot of effort went into it!
I instantly fell in love with Nightowl, since he was so relatable and I kinda do have the same personality as him irl. I don't know why but I would always feel, welcomed??. It's like the game isn't JUST a game, it felt like it was a real discord server where people talked to me. Overall, amazing game. Fun fact I'm 5 inches shorter than Nightowl
I love love LOVE this game so freaking much!! <3<3<3 I'm still on NightOwl route and I just asdfghhjk I wanna keep him and can i just say I wanna get the bad ending since i've already got the good ending and choosing the 'wrong' choice is... oof. i hate it. i don't want to hurt my babehh ughh but dammm i just love it.
thank you robobarbie for making this beautiful, amazing game <3<3<3
PLEASE HELPPPL?>?@>?#>??? for some reason i cant start up the game????? :(( i really wanted to play this but whenever i download all the files and extract it, the .exe file just won't start up and then it disappears?? it wouldn't start up from the original folder (without extracting it) either idk if there's a problem with my computer but i've tried like at least 5 times and it just wont let me play :(((((((( i still would love to play this game very much tho!! TT
like,,, idk, characters are so interesting, and the way we learn their backstory and that even they acknowledge that they fall in love in us rather quickly, but it doesn't matter, and that bonuses!!! oh and the plot twist with Bloom's author!
My favs are Nihgtowl and... drums! XyX! Yup, completly didn't expect that, cuz he isn't really my type, but Cat!! and his backstory and asdnafaf idk they are so sweet!
I had SO MUCH fun playing <3 and those side characters! Damn, love them. Especially June (can I have route with u? plslslslsl) and um Sal! Grandpa is so cute with his stories and doing tea for his wife, and for loving her so much!
This game is a masterpiece. The voice-acting, personalities, everything! Each side character added something to the game and I ended up genuinely wishing to learn more about them (esp. onionthief. oh but screw societyboy). Honestly I was surprised when I looked through my game list and came to this page...cause why had I not played this game sooner?!? The concept and first look of the LIs was enough to have me super stoked. I did not regret playing this game up til 4AM when I had school the next day...it was just too good! 100% recommend this game! Also I'm an xyx therapist, genuinely did not expect to love him as much as I did, but well...
HELLLOOO?? THIS IS SO FIRE!? Okay okay, I just finished everything. (Apart from the bad endings since I can't take them) Best game on the planet right here. I love the VA!! They fit so well. I especially love nightowl's va/story.
I honestly suggest this game to everyone, i'm not kidding. XYX story choices was a bit confusing though bc when I tried to stop him from leaving the server he kept being stubborn.. But I finally did it! His story definitely almost made me tear up.
This game was the most fun I've ever had with a dating sim!! I ended up getting every single ending in 1 day because I was just that engrossed in the characters and their server world. And I have to say, the writers did a great job simulating discord conversations. I was blown away by the writing despite most of it being internet lingo. There were so many pleasant surprises like the instant bombarding after someone made a typo or the ffxiv ad that really added to the realism. Sometimes I forgot I was playing a game and not just spectating an actual server lol.
I originally only played for Quest but all of the boys stole my heart! The VAs did an amazing job. Especially Toasty and xyx, their calls were just so <333 (I'm a sucker for long eyelashes). I liked how they all had their unique typing styles and you could sorta match their wavelength in your replies. It felt so nice to be rewarded for picking up on things like that :^) And it was great to see older LIs. For once I wasn't reminded of how old I'm getting lmao.
It's not often that I'm so invested in every character, even the side ones (I'll miss you server grandpa...) which just goes to show how good the writing for the characters is. Part of me wishes we got to call the other members even if they didn't get their own route. Also I really appreciated how no one made you feel bad for not knowing much about bloomic. I was so worried I'd be exposed as a fake fan LOL but June and the others were so nice about it!
On a more personal note, the genuine comradery among the characters really stuck with me. As someone who's always struggled with the feeling of belonging, it felt good to be a part of the server even if I knew it wasn't real. Seeing all of them be there for each other was so touching! I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up when I realized it was going to end ;-; I haven't felt this attached to a fictional group of friends since I played Night in the Woods. This game was a wonderful little love letter for anyone who's ever been part of an online community and I commend the devs for all the work that went into it. Bloonini server best server!!!

"We might as well be married and i dont even know your real name, smh"

"Im pretty sure im allergic to kiwi"

I played the original when it came out, and just played the complete version. I liked the additions, made it more amazing than it already was! Don't think I would want to change a thing.

OH MY GOD toasty's story has me literally bawling i love him..... this was amazing <3
So fun! I need a man like Quest now wwww
I LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH! Where can I find myself a real Quest?? LOL
I would sell my soul to xyx.
Now that I've finished this game, I feel so empty inside lmao. The love interests are cute and witty and funny and hot. The calls were lovely and the chats were hilariously authentic. I laughed a lot, squealed out of excitement a few times and also cried a bit (only a bit though hehe).

Such a lovely game! I got so emotional during the Quest route, because the concept of second chance really hits me hard T.T
This is soooo good ;-;
This was really sweet, I enjoyed it a lot !
Thanks for your hard work =)

Agreed!
