I just finished it, and all I have to say is: THIS IS AWESOME
There are 6 endings, but I've only seen 3 of them (the good ends, I'm assuming) so I still have more playing to do, but even then, I still love this game so much.
I saw a lot of people declaring their love for Quest and Toasty, but come on, where the nightowl fans at? I literally loved him so much,, I almost couldn't breathe.
ALSO!! The fact the conversations felt so real it felt like I was talking to real people! Sometimes I would just forget I'm playing a game (only to be brought back to reality whenever a choice or a call comes by)
All in all, even though nightowl was my favorite character, Toasty has got to be my favorite route. I won't spoil anything, but I'll just say I really loved that ending.
PS I would like to braid Toasty's hair please and thank you
I can't emphasize enough how amazing this game is! I'm not one to post comments, a cliché thing to say I know, but just bear with me. This is one of the best games I played in a looong time, and when I say long, I'm referring to years.
Everything is incredible and beautifully done, all my praise to everyone involved. The writing is spectacular; and so realistic that it can make you forget some of the conversations were scripted, they feel so organic, you guys nailed it!
And the voice actors melt my heart, my cheeks hurt because I smiled too much! Amazing interpretation! And the song at the beginning? I'm listening to it while writing these, I loved it.
And now for the routes. I played Quest first, and I loved every aspect of it (even that creepy ex was used really well, and it makes me uncomfortable, but I believe that was the goal), and Quest calling the mc angel? Come on, I melted every time he said/texted that. And the way his backstory was presented and how the mc reacted, I loved it. He was my favorite, I couldn't think of how any of the other routes could be better.
The next one I did was Nightowl, and though he was my least favorite of the three, the writing in his route was as spot-on as the other two. And his personality was really interest to see, and his problems were way too relatable.
Now, Toasty route... I left it to the end, as it was said to be the true ending. And his character is just... He was an easy fall for me; cute, easy to tease, funny, and a gamer trying to convert the mc to play Final Fantasy. I was not expecting the twist on his route at all, though it seemed a 180 degrees change on the style of the game, yet, the more I thought about it, there was a little clue here and there (in his own route and the others). And I loved it. The scene where the mc tells him she wants to braid his hair during the call? Omg, that's my favorite scene in the entire game.
On the epilogues; I love them all, though Toasty was my favorite. Until I read the ???, and now I need answers and a new route. Xyx was SO funny (tho everyone was funny in their own way and I laughed more than I imagined).
What more can I say? This game is amazing, I loved it and I can't wait to play more games from you.
First i'm need to thanks the whole team <3 Really great writing. It's really realistic, love all the characters, except douchebag man ofc his writing is so realistic that it makes me uncomfortable every time I see him on the server lol
The VA is excellent, seriously this is illegal to have such beautiful voices haha
I like the song of the title screen <3 really, this game is good, REALLY good. The discord idea, yes 1000x yes
I don't read for now the epilogues of the guys (i'm will doing this soon ofc), but i see... ??? Xyx it's is you with your dick jokes ? I joint the people here, i want him <3
(Oh, and i'm sorry if my writing is weird, it's been a while since I wrote in english, sorry sorry <_<)
OMG I can't stop playing the game 🤣 I almost forget the discord isn't real. All of them is charming in their own way. Keep up the good job developer. Thanks for the game✨
i was so pleasantly surprised when i saw the discord layout and instantly knew i would like the game ! but i liked it even more when i played it :,) so heartwarming, and i honestly love every single character - even the background characters have good personality (very rare in otome...) and it really cheered me up playing this. thank you for making this game its so cute !! id love new content one day, the characters are just so enjoyable to interact with i msut say toasty's was my fave route though <3
I play ALOT of these games as I am trying to make one of my own. I THROUGHLY enjoyed all the playthroughs in this game. Until I found number 4. How the heck you unlock XYX route
Could not put this game down! Loved the idea of using a Discord-esque interface, and the whole cast of characters gave a lot of life to the server. The voice acting was a nice surprise and main theme song is super catchy. Enjoyed NakedToaster's route the most, with Quest as a close second. Thanks for making and sharing this!
I finished the game.. I'M A QUEST SIMP! GAHD I LOVE THE VOICE! I LOVE HIS CHARACTER! DAMN! anyway... I love all the characters except the nutjob ex.. its really really fun to play with.. I was gonna read the epilogue until i saw the other one.. I was like whaaaa??? and here i am thinking.. "IS THERE ANOTHER ENDING? ANOTHER ROUTE?! IS IT REAL?!" yes me being curious! i seriously would to play it all over again and i'm really in love in the game!
I wanna get the bad ending and i don't know how to... need help!
you can't see the good end option in the quest route unless you have enough points accrued! you'll want to go back through the route and try to gain more favor to see the good end option appear. Hope this helps!
This game, IS SO GOOD!! I want a sequel oh my god. the voice acting, the art, EVEN THE SCRIPT AND LINES. EVeryone was so cute and hot. oh dear, when i played this game, i felt so single. like man, i did not need that. but anyway, i love everyone, except the ex. son of dogshit.
anyways! Nightowl, is very much like me, i relate to him heavily a lot, emotional, smooth, and witty? im not sure how to explain honestly, HAHAHA. his voice fitted him so well, i just love everything about him, Im very emotional so i managed to get his route easily the first,,, and man, i wish everyone was real smh.
QUEST!! QUEST THOUGH. one description. gentlemen but inside is a beast. smooth, and that matureness, and oh my god, i was freaking out when he said some of his lines, like yall, you can get down on me Quest <333 his voice, chef's kiss.
TOast! THIS GUY, cute, flustered and shy. Very adorable, and so easy to tease cmon. hes that one lover who would absolutely give in to you and pamper you a lot, a soft lover, i might add. when he laugh, i felt my soul was cleansed. AND HE LOOKS SO PRETTY?? LIKE TOAST YOU HAVE NO RIGHT- to look that gorgeous??? OMG???? and hes so funny too, like i literally cannot empahise how much i enjoyed playing this game!!
it says it has 6 endings, are those 3 other endings like bad endings?? if so, im like scared to try it out, it would break my heart if they dont end up with the mc. AND ONE FINAL NOTE, XYX???
OH MY GOD, i love his pfp, his personality in his chatting, its just so funny, and the EPILOUGE OF HIM?? HELLOOO? ITS ILLEGAL TO PUT A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THAT. IM GONNA COMMIT ARSON NEAR THE LOCAL BANK IF YALL DONT HAVE HIS ROUTE <333
anywayyy, i love this game, as you can tell from my review, everything was gem, love it. gonna go cry now because i finished it.
An absolutely must-play game. I got to relive my first meeting with my boyfriend when playing the Quest route (same height, similar jobs + past, speech, etc). It was such a weird experience to go through because it felt so real, so exact, and the VA is amazing. I felt flustered and genuine panic, which caught me off guard cause I went into this not expecting a romance that I'd care about.
And with that, I have nothing else to say but: Great writing. Great characters. Great art. Overall great game.
okay, so, it took me a while to fully form a review because i wanted to make sure i didn’t miss anything! overall, this game is fantastic. it’s playful, witty and unbelievably funny in a very realistic way (especially if you’ve ever been in a fan server). i absolutely adored all the character interactions and the extra level of depth that the side characters had! i think, often, otome games run the risk of making everything seem very centred around the mc and their love interest which is totally understandable, given that it’s a love story, but it makes the entire universe seem… empty. blooming panic feels so full of life, all of the time, because of the little peeks into the lives of other characters and i love it. the music and the art are both phenomenal and i’m so glad i stumbled across this game!
nightowl: this route came first for me, purely because it was 1am and i thought it would be ironic. i did not expect to get so invested, though. his route hit very close to home, especially with his struggles (to keep it vague) and i’ll be honest! i cried! and it was very cathartic, because it felt like a reminder that there are always people who care and it was such an unexpectedly reassuring message. personality-wise, i adored him. his voice actor did such a great job with conveying his playful attitude and it made the call scenes feel super cosy, if that makes sense. both endings tugged on my heart strings to a ridiculous degree and i will give his route a totally unbiased 10/10. ahem.
quest: i did quest’s route second, since nakedtoaster was advised to be kept for last and i wanted my not-discord mod romance. sue me. one thing that stood out to me in quest’s route was the quiet support he offered the mc. his route seemed very comfortable, in a sense, with an air of maturity you would expect from someone who comes off as responsible (compared to the others, at least). the conflict in his route was another thing i understood on a personal level, so the overarching motif of the past not defining you was really lovely to hear. quest’s voice actor did an amazing job and their voice was so calming to listen to, i wanted to stay on the call forever! unsurprisingly, he’s another 10/10 because sometimes you just need someone to call you angel.
nakedtoaster: a rollercoaster if there ever was one! this route really hit me with all the emotional curveballs and, honestly, it got me crying again but i promise in a good way. toaster was so awkward but genuinely sweet and it endeared me to him when i wasn’t sure if i’d really click with his route. i loved the silly ffxiv references just as much as i loved how flustered he got around mc! a good boy if there ever was one. the voice actor did a spectacular job and i could listen to several voice lines on repeat. i think having his route last was perfect, since the webnovel focuses so much on what change means for people and it’s a recurring theme throughout the game. it gave me a lot to think about, and i’m thankful for that. shockingly, another 10/10.
I am in love with this! ah!!! I wish there was more! It brings me back to the old days of flirtation and makes me crave it once more. I love nightowl, idk if that makes me basic but whatever, totally reminds me of some people I used to talk to.
this game is by far the most amazing experience I've ever had. the chat template of it, the stories, voice acting, the plot, EVERYTHING! it was so good... i can't stop thinking about the bois and definitely can't wait to see what other stuff you have in store.. thank you so much for this amazing game!!
Came here from the otomegames subreddit and am really pleased with this short and sweet game. For a game that was worked on for 2 months it is really good. Great ost, dynamic characters, amazing voice acting, and each route had a solid arc that was told within the span of only a week! (within the story)
I think the biggest thing I enjoyed about the game was how similar the game emulated discord chats. You would definitely come across personalities like nightowl, xyx and NakedToaster anywhere online and it reminded me of some of my online friends too.
Would love to have a DLC or something in the future. I see you, "???" *wink*.
The idea of the whole story - amazing!! Art - wonderful!! Characters - I love them all, I have trouble to pick my fav! VAs made really good job, I adore their voices... 🥺😳💖
and I'm a BIG FAN OF THAT SONG IN MENU OMG. I found it on spotify and it's on loop! 💖🤣
also.... xyx route when?? 🤣🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for that game. 💖💖💖
edit: OMG,,,, i just went to epilogues (yes, i forgot earlier) and ???😳
Back again because I can’t stop thinking about the game even after it’s over and if I had to offer one TINY gripe that I really hope can be fixed for future releases, the chat text is extremely small and makes it difficult for visually impaired users! (Such as myself.) Ren’py has built in accessibility options, thankfully, but they’re unfortunately not the most elegant solution, not to mention hard to find for those unfamiliar, and I’d love if anything could be done to give folks options and make their experience even better!
absolutely obsessed. I love it so much! I can't wait to see more routes and such! (I kno everyone is asking for xyz but what about BigLady!) thank you for making it!
Man, I just finished this game and my only dislike is that it isn't longer. The writing is excellent and like a certain character said in the game, "why do you make me feel like a teenager" lmao. I'm nearing my 30s and this game really made me feel like a teen with the growing romance between the characters.
In different circumstances I would likely have an issue with the lack of choices along the game, but knowing that this game had to be done quickly make it understandable, and all things considered, I think it still offers a good variety.
All the three routes are wonderful imo, and all the side characters were amazing to interact with. The writers really captured the feel of being on a discord sever, it felt like actually interacting with real people instead of scripted characters, so kudos to that! Xyx had me dead laughing so often lmao, loved his character.
The slight mystery element of the game was also nicely incorporated, and all and all, even if it wasn't surprising, it was still very enjoyable.
Aaaaaand to do a tl;dr: this game is great and if you enjoy harmless drama and humour, you should totally play this.
im back and i played it all and i love you all and thank you so much for this amazing experience i didnt slept a bit (nightowl would be proud of me ngl) but it was worthy it <3 also we stan salo in this household
this..... this is my shit (love u quest <3) UPDATE i only finished the one route yesterday but i played through the rest after work today so get ready folks i have a lot to say and not enough words to say it in (this is gonna be super long i'm so sorry i had to make a list of everything i wanted to say)
okay so just the format is absolutely gorgeous, i have played a Lot of visual novels and like. otome games aasfgds but this is really a cut above and super creative, i love that it's like a tiny discord! the art is impeccable fr like even if we completely disregard the writing and characters (which would be criminal) this is beautiful already i am blessed
the characters are believable, flawed, multifaceted and interesting people INCLUDING the more "side" characters (except for salo he is my grandpa and has done no wrong and i love him). they all have their own opinions and way of interacting with you and each other that makes them seem real - they're not perfect people and will mess up or prioritize themselves over the player which I find doesn't happen in a lot of games like this? you let them be human and i love them for that. salo manages to tackle some of what i think are the most important things to know in life in a short amount of time, even death and grieving and moving on (how did you get that in there????) sometimes uncomfortable things happen in the game and they're not immediately resolved, you sit with that discomfort and the choice to forgive or not and it feels Real. i am feeling emotions!!
the voice acting was awesome, combined with the (i'm running out of synonyms for things that are good) writing made me Fully blush HARD , regularly. i can't even fathom the amount of the work and dedication this took i am so proud of everyone involved in this project! please make more things and let me give you my money <3
tl;dr once i ate this super tasty dessert and i was like damn this is good let me have another and then i did and it was horrible and i felt sick this is exactly like that Except i feel great forever and i've ascended to a new level of consciousness. thank you so much for this, i really needed it and i had no idea :)
i hecking LOVE the idea and execution of this game. So many of these characters endeared themselves to me so quick. I'm still in the middle of playing but i hope to god we get both an Onion and Xyx route...plzplzplzplzlpzpl
This is nothing short of adorable and now I really want to see a sequel! Would you be willing to release the emojis/stickers? I want to plaster Nathaniel all over my own servers <3 While Quest was my favorite route, I absolutely ADORED Toast’s VA and think Chartlatean did an especially impressive job! Really looking forward to any further projects y’all choose to release!
I'm having a blast with this game, this is really what i needed after a Mystic Messenger burnout lol. Also gotta say i absolutely love Toast... His line about the critically acclaimed FFXIV expac made me burst into laughter, I love that it's been memed so much it even got into VN's. Whoever included that line, THANK YOU!
Came here from the post from r/otomegames and didn't regret it.
Favorite route: Quest.
Loved the back and forth teasing and I actually curled into a ball blushing at multiple points in both the calls and chats. Please send help, he was my first route and ruined everyone else for me in the romance aspect. Stupid nicknames, stupidly huge tease. qwq) I love him.
Favorite Voice: NakedToaster
Charlatean really did a good job. Hard to describe without being too spoilery and it's also one of the things you have to experience yourself.
Favorite Character in Blooming Panic: Nathaniel
bro, I just read that bio and went 030). Toasty, I'm with you, although Xander is pretty cute.
I also really adored the music in this game, the BG music and the main menu with the boys. I actually listened to the whole thing. The banter in the middle was really cute.
This was so good >__< !! I loved each route with Toast's one being probably my favorite <3 (I'm not ashamed saying I got REALLY emotional at the end of each route, also the opening theme is such a bop >:) 11/10 would recommend
So so good! From the writing to the voice acting, just... wow! I hope you don't mind I shared a link to your game on otome games Reddit. I hope more people will find out about this amazing game! P.S: My favorite was definitely Nightowl. His personality, his voice... <3 He reminded me of 707 from Mystic Messenger and totally stole my heart.

I just finished it, and all I have to say is: THIS IS AWESOME
There are 6 endings, but I've only seen 3 of them (the good ends, I'm assuming) so I still have more playing to do, but even then, I still love this game so much.

(only to be brought back to reality whenever a choice or a call comes by)All in all, even though nightowl was my favorite character, Toasty has got to be my favorite route. I won't spoil anything, but I'll just say I really loved that ending.
PS I would like to braid Toasty's hair please and thank youPPS is xyx getting a route bc...is there an actual Discord server for this game? I'd love to rant about how much I love Toasty LMAO

i msut say toasty's was my fave route though <3
I found this through r/otomegames. Loved it! I really wish it had been longer. Looking forward to more otome work from this dev/team.
I play ALOT of these games as I am trying to make one of my own. I THROUGHLY enjoyed all the playthroughs in this game. Until I found number 4. How the heck you unlock XYX route
Could not put this game down! Loved the idea of using a Discord-esque interface, and the whole cast of characters gave a lot of life to the server.

IS IT REAL?!" yes me being curious! i seriously would to play it all over again and i'm really in love in the game!
I wanna get the bad ending and i don't know how to... need help!
If you mean the Quest bad ending, you can select the "Platonically" choice in the final call to get the bad ending!
but the only choice ( at least in my case ) is platonically
you can't see the good end option in the quest route unless you have enough points accrued! you'll want to go back through the route and try to gain more favor to see the good end option appear. Hope this helps!
oh thanks. that makes sens
oh thanks. that makes sens
This game, IS SO GOOD!! I want a sequel oh my god. the voice acting, the art, EVEN THE SCRIPT AND LINES. EVeryone was so cute and hot. oh dear, when i played this game, i felt so single. like man, i did not need that. but anyway, i love everyone, except the ex. son of dogshit.

anywayyy, i love this game, as you can tell from my review, everything was gem, love it. gonna go cry now because i finished it.
Awwwww I'm glad you loved the boys so much!!
An absolutely must-play game. I got to relive my first meeting with my boyfriend when playing the Quest route (same height, similar jobs + past, speech, etc). It was such a weird experience to go through because it felt so real, so exact, and the VA is amazing. I felt flustered and genuine panic, which caught me off guard cause I went into this not expecting a romance that I'd care about.
And with that, I have nothing else to say but: Great writing. Great characters. Great art. Overall great game.
okay, so, it took me a while to fully form a review because i wanted to make sure i didn’t miss anything! overall, this game is fantastic. it’s playful, witty and unbelievably funny in a very realistic way (especially if you’ve ever been in a fan server). i absolutely adored all the character interactions and the extra level of depth that the side characters had! i think, often, otome games run the risk of making everything seem very centred around the mc and their love interest which is totally understandable, given that it’s a love story, but it makes the entire universe seem… empty. blooming panic feels so full of life, all of the time, because of the little peeks into the lives of other characters and i love it. the music and the art are both phenomenal and i’m so glad i stumbled across this game!

(but, uh, xyx route when?)I really appreciate the thought you put into this!! Thank you so much for playing 💚
I am in love with this! ah!!! I wish there was more! It brings me back to the old days of flirtation and makes me crave it once more. I love nightowl, idk if that makes me basic but whatever, totally reminds me of some people I used to talk to.
this game is by far the most amazing experience I've ever had. the chat template of it, the stories, voice acting, the plot, EVERYTHING! it was so good... i can't stop thinking about the bois and definitely can't wait to see what other stuff you have in store.. thank you so much for this amazing game!!
Came here from the otomegames subreddit and am really pleased with this short and sweet game. For a game that was worked on for 2 months it is really good. Great ost, dynamic characters, amazing voice acting, and each route had a solid arc that was told within the span of only a week! (within the story)
I think the biggest thing I enjoyed about the game was how similar the game emulated discord chats. You would definitely come across personalities like nightowl, xyx and NakedToaster anywhere online and it reminded me of some of my online friends too.
Would love to have a DLC or something in the future. I see you, "???" *wink*.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!!! I NEVER KNEW THAT I WOULD BOB MY HEAD WITH THE SONGS AND THE CHARACTERS ARE IMMACULATE 💖💖💖💖
I LOVE ALL OF THEM AND AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS DO HAVE A VOICE ACTOR!

Omfg that was just... that was just too good....
The idea of the whole story - amazing!! Art - wonderful!! Characters - I love them all, I have trouble to pick my fav! VAs made really good job, I adore their voices... 🥺😳💖
and I'm a BIG FAN OF THAT SONG IN MENU OMG. I found it on spotify and it's on loop! 💖🤣
also.... xyx route when?? 🤣🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for that game. 💖💖💖
edit: OMG,,,, i just went to epilogues (yes, i forgot earlier) and ???😳
should i get my hopes up??
or not?Back again because I can’t stop thinking about the game even after it’s over and if I had to offer one TINY gripe that I really hope can be fixed for future releases, the chat text is extremely small and makes it difficult for visually impaired users! (Such as myself.) Ren’py has built in accessibility options, thankfully, but they’re unfortunately not the most elegant solution, not to mention hard to find for those unfamiliar, and I’d love if anything could be done to give folks options and make their experience even better!
Your suggestion is heard! We have added it to our list for future updates. 💚
absolutely obsessed. I love it so much! I can't wait to see more routes and such! (I kno everyone is asking for xyz but what about BigLady!) thank you for making it!
AMAZING GAME!! I saw it on reddit and im OBSESSED. Nightowl my beloved <3 (he may or may not be a new comfort character)
side note......... xyx route perhaps? ;)
Thank you so much! Love the game!
Man, I just finished this game and my only dislike is that it isn't longer. The writing is excellent and like a certain character said in the game, "why do you make me feel like a teenager" lmao. I'm nearing my 30s and this game really made me feel like a teen with the growing romance between the characters.
In different circumstances I would likely have an issue with the lack of choices along the game, but knowing that this game had to be done quickly make it understandable, and all things considered, I think it still offers a good variety.
All the three routes are wonderful imo, and all the side characters were amazing to interact with. The writers really captured the feel of being on a discord sever, it felt like actually interacting with real people instead of scripted characters, so kudos to that! Xyx had me dead laughing so often lmao, loved his character.
The slight mystery element of the game was also nicely incorporated, and all and all, even if it wasn't surprising, it was still very enjoyable.
Aaaaaand to do a tl;dr: this game is great and if you enjoy harmless drama and humour, you should totally play this.
Aww thanks for playin. Glad you had fun!
Is there a xyx route? I saw the epilogue but no idea how to get to the route? :(
there's no xyx route yet but...
i'm in the discord server and the developers had said that his route is coming for next year's otome jam!! so i'm super excited for that
HOLY GUACAMOLI, YEEEES.
im back and i played it all and i love you all and thank you so much for this amazing experience i didnt slept a bit (nightowl would be proud of me ngl) but it was worthy it <3 also we stan salo in this household
xyx route or we riot
THE PEOPLE HAS SPOKEN, xyx stans are arising
the amount of bullshittery this man is capable of
I CAN FEEL IT RESONATE IN MY SOUL
i wwant;;;
Glad you liked my meme. >U<
-BloomBot
AAAAAAAA dude im so curious pls i thought we would discover quest name oh god
Ikr~
as soon I heard the music, THIS IS IMMACULATE!!! I am getting the butterflies and chills
this..... this is my shit (love u quest <3) UPDATE i only finished the one route yesterday but i played through the rest after work today so get ready folks i have a lot to say and not enough words to say it in (this is gonna be super long i'm so sorry i had to make a list of everything i wanted to say)
okay so just the format is absolutely gorgeous, i have played a Lot of visual novels and like. otome games aasfgds but this is really a cut above and super creative, i love that it's like a tiny discord! the art is impeccable fr like even if we completely disregard the writing and characters (which would be criminal) this is beautiful already i am blessed
the characters are believable, flawed, multifaceted and interesting people INCLUDING the more "side" characters (except for salo he is my grandpa and has done no wrong and i love him). they all have their own opinions and way of interacting with you and each other that makes them seem real - they're not perfect people and will mess up or prioritize themselves over the player which I find doesn't happen in a lot of games like this? you let them be human and i love them for that. salo manages to tackle some of what i think are the most important things to know in life in a short amount of time, even death and grieving and moving on (how did you get that in there????) sometimes uncomfortable things happen in the game and they're not immediately resolved, you sit with that discomfort and the choice to forgive or not and it feels Real. i am feeling emotions!!
the voice acting was awesome, combined with the (i'm running out of synonyms for things that are good) writing made me Fully blush HARD , regularly. i can't even fathom the amount of the work and dedication this took i am so proud of everyone involved in this project! please make more things and let me give you my money <3
tl;dr once i ate this super tasty dessert and i was like damn this is good let me have another and then i did and it was horrible and i felt sick this is exactly like that Except i feel great forever and i've ascended to a new level of consciousness. thank you so much for this, i really needed it and i had no idea :)
Agreed :)
LOQLQLJEHWH thank u for that imagery 🤣🤣
i hecking LOVE the idea and execution of this game. So many of these characters endeared themselves to me so quick. I'm still in the middle of playing but i hope to god we get both an Onion and Xyx route...plzplzplzplzlpzpl
This is nothing short of adorable and now I really want to see a sequel! Would you be willing to release the emojis/stickers? I want to plaster Nathaniel all over my own servers <3 While Quest was my favorite route, I absolutely ADORED Toast’s VA and think Chartlatean did an especially impressive job! Really looking forward to any further projects y’all choose to release!
bro, I think I found my homie. In my comment below we literally have the same fave novel character, route, and VA lol.
So I 100% agree with ya
Ayyy, twinsies!!! Glad to see someone else here with Peak Taste!
fdjkljdslkf i am so in love all these LIs!!<3 this is so well-made (the VA, the art, the music, the writing???? wow) ty devs:,)
if ur curious abt the love it's getting over on r/otomegames!: https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/comments/ojxnog/you_all_have_to_check_bloomi...
btw ur work in this was so professional and clearly done w care- i'd be happy to pay if y'all ever choose to do a sequel or another project
All these comments really warm my heart and I wish I could reply to all of them. Thanks for sharing that link with us!!!
I'm having a blast with this game, this is really what i needed after a Mystic Messenger burnout lol. Also gotta say i absolutely love Toast... His line about the critically acclaimed FFXIV expac made me burst into laughter, I love that it's been memed so much it even got into VN's. Whoever included that line, THANK YOU!
Came here from the post from r/otomegames and didn't regret it.
Favorite route: Quest.
Loved the back and forth teasing and I actually curled into a ball blushing at multiple points in both the calls and chats. Please send help, he was my first route and ruined everyone else for me in the romance aspect. Stupid nicknames, stupidly huge tease. qwq) I love him.
Favorite Voice: NakedToaster
Charlatean really did a good job. Hard to describe without being too spoilery and it's also one of the things you have to experience yourself.
Favorite Character in Blooming Panic: Nathaniel
bro, I just read that bio and went 030). Toasty, I'm with you, although Xander is pretty cute.
I also really adored the music in this game, the BG music and the main menu with the boys. I actually listened to the whole thing. The banter in the middle was really cute.
Yes, you actually feel something bc of how real it feels.
This was so good >__< !!
I loved each route with Toast's one being probably my favorite <3 (I'm not ashamed saying I got REALLY emotional at the end of each route, also the opening theme is such a bop >:) 11/10 would recommend
Controversial but Quest is my fav boi. 5/5 would replay again.
100% agree
So so good! From the writing to the voice acting, just... wow! I hope you don't mind I shared a link to your game on otome games Reddit. I hope more people will find out about this amazing game!
P.S: My favorite was definitely Nightowl. His personality, his voice... <3 He reminded me of 707 from Mystic Messenger and totally stole my heart.
whaaa! thanks for sharing it!! <3
I really loved this game!!
