I really love this game!! Nightowl is my new fictional crush now *crying* lmao I'm really happy I played this game! Looking forward to play the routes with the other characters too! :D <3
Man where do I even start..I played this during school and actually squealed. Like I would die for this game- If only my old computer didn't break, I never got to finish it..Sadly I never got Xy's good end and Toasty's bad end. I can deal with Toasty but man...
I also may or may not have made OCs based off of this game. But that isn't the point.
SPOILERS FOR XYX'S BAD ENDING
I did not want to end Xy's route on him sitting on a cliff with a fucked up leg three times *Insert very loud sobbing*
People find nightowl route hard? Lmao he was the first one I played unknowingly and didn't even need a walkthrough - the characters are so realistic I literally fell in love with him lmfao 😭
Just click on the download that is available for your selected computer such as MAC or Windows (PC), it is a zip file which you can download either 7-zip to open it or with Winzip, extract the file to the computer, click 'BloomingPanicFBE' and look on the side for the type 'application' and done!! :)
The image is basically how the file will look on your PC and you can clearly see the 'BloomingPanicFBE' with a little icon of a pink character.
I usually get bored playing these type of games but i really really enjoyed this one <3 I took nightowl, quest and nakedtoaster's routes in order (i didn't take xyx's route yet) and well i didn't expect bloombot having a part in the story :p pretty neat game love the bonuses <3 update i just finished xyx and it was so cute wtf <333
is there any way to download this on iPhone? (I’ve tried to do the android way on my android instead but I can’t seem to find the right file to place on executable file in joiplayy
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! Everyone is just so cute and all the routes are unique and so fun to play!!! I love them all AHHH! Thank you for creating this master piece :D
I love this game so much! Such a good story line and I'm in love with all the characters, how can you not be? Just a great game I'll play over and over, even after I got all the endings.
My new favorite game! Gosh this was so fun, nightowl is to die for. I love xyx aswell. Amazing job! Speaking of which, I'm going to go do nightowls route again haha.
ROBOBARBIEEEEE HELPPPP!! So, I have played through all of the routes, collected almost everything, and done Quest's route about a million times. But I can't find the one picture in Quest's gallery between his mugshot and the one where biglady is joking about two2 not tipping. I swear I have literally done everything possible and tried every weird combo of dialogue. I can't rest easy knowing I haven't completed Quest's route (only because I am a try-hard and I love him so much)
Ps. Do you think you will ever consider making an onion route? I read his wiki and I think it would be a really interesting DLC or add-on.
xyx and quest were my FAV i love this game so much, the chats are so funny lmaoo. good lord every character here is so fine im running lol. i love it i love it so much thank you for making this game :3
sdkljadsdskjl so I binged this entire game on my day off, and wow. I'd heard good things so I expected to enjoy it, but I didn't expect I'd enjoy it as much as I did! There's so much love and effort that clearly went into the telling of this story--in all aspects--and I wanted to thank everybody involved in bringing it to life.
First, just... the method of telling the story, mostly through Discord-like channels and video chats? It's a cool idea, and it was done so well!
The art was lovely, too! I love all the characters' designs, with an art style I really enjoyed. And on top of that, so much cute fanart from so many artists? So. Cool. It's fun to see the same set of characters in so many different styles. Like, I know Bloomic is a story-within-a-story, but I'm a fan!
I know less about music than about writing or art, so I don't have as much to say about it, but it was good! I don't always play games with my headphones on, but this one, I did and I'm glad I did.
Speaking of sound--the voice acting!!!! Asklfjslk. Another thing I'm very hit-or-miss about in games, but it was so good here!! Kudos to the voice actors for making the characters feel even more real!
And the writing! Asdlkjfdsfklj. Again, so much care went into it and it shows. The characters felt very real. Quite human... even [spoilers], in a way. Even the more minor characters had a lot of personality and I never got mixed up about who was who (after the first 2 minutes, lol). I love how they had their own distinct ways of writing, too--from more casual to more formal/grammar-conscious (onion) to salo's adorable old man way of typing. I would absolutely play a route for each and every one of them--aside from SocietyBoy, obv--platonic friendship routes for some of them, ofc.
Speaking of routes... I legitimately can't pick a favorite. I'm having trouble trying to rank them at all. Every one of them made me grin like an idiot, and every single one of them had moments that gave me bigtime dokis. Every LI is a delightful, nuanced character with flaws and strengths and so much charm. 10/10, would marry all of them. I love these characters SO much and I don't even know any of their names, lol
...I guess if I *HAD* to pick a favorite character out of everybody.......... Cat. Obviously. I mean, for starters, they're a cat, and therefore start with a +1000 affection points bonus with me.
But anyway, I really enjoyed the themes of this story, too. From making meaningful friendships on line, to the fear of life changes. The latter one actually hit home pretty hard rn--I think I played this game at the perfect time. I've been thinking a lot about my job situation--wanting to make a change that will make me happier in the long run, but paralyzed by fear of change. So your game was like a comforting hug. Thanks for that. I hope that wasn't TMI, but just wanted to let you know you had a good impact on somebody.
Sooo, um, tl;dr: game good, everybody should play it. Gonna go start shilling for it to my friends like Toasty shills for FFXIV, lmao
Oh my god, this game is amazing!! The "discord" interface feels so real! I have to keep reminding myself it is fictional because the chat room feels so realistic, I forget these aren't actual people texting in real-time. I swear it feels no different than my other discord servers, it's almost uncanny how easily I find myself lost, chuckling away at chit-chat everyone is having. That aspect alone makes this game deserve 5 stars, outstanding work.
AAAAAAA My h eart cannot handle this. I've only done two endings, but aaaa oh my god that was adorable. I have no words, this is too cute. I cannot Wait to go find all of the other endings <3 aaaaa
I got a bad ending by accident. I thought I was doing so well and it all just fell apart. I got good endings for the other three, but I cannot put myself through that again to find that good path, ;-; just can't it hurts too much. I hate how much of myself I see in him, I got way too attached to all of them and now I'm stuck here unable to stop crying. Hah. Guess that means the writing of this game was just that good, huh? Didn't know this game was going to send my heart through a paper shredder. Should've expected it would, but I was too confident in getting good endings. Fuck, I can't begin to imagine how any of you 100%ers manage to do all the bad endings. I would never recover, I can't even bring myself to look at any of their bad-ending walk-throughs. Enough of me rambling, I am going to cry myself to sleep cuddling my cat now. ;-;
after a good hearty cry, I did manage to make everything right again. And now I am crying again, but this time they are happy relief tears. Again, amazing game and a brief heartbreak aside I'm incredibly happy to have found it. :')
I got Xyx's bad route the first time I did it and it WRECKED me. BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO BED UNTIL I 100 PERCENTED THE GAME AND I ABSOLUTLEY STARTED SOBBING WHEN I GOT QUEST'S BAD ENDING
just finished the game-- i finally got all the bad endings and it was so hard to do so cause i just felt so bad for everyone..
Also if you're having trouble with trying to get bad endings, try getting onto their route, and maybe like midway through start choosing choices they wouldnt like.
for example (spoilers)
when youre in the call with nightowl the night after he told u off, reject him completely
for quest, tell toaster and nightowl that you're afraid of quest, and afterwards reject quest
for xyx... idk be bad at tongue-twisters and take every option to push xyx to do something he doesnt want to-- like the zine
for toaster you should just fail at his game he made when he was 17 and forget the things he told you, like the buyout and his work!! and make sure to choose all the wrong choices for bloombot too!
