Blooming Panic

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). 

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.  

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 =)

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!

STATUS: IN LOVE AT THE MOMENT!!

(first is nightowl's story,it especially made me feel things ccc; )

...it's 2 am so i guess i'm just gonna play all the routes now (had some inspiration there)

I LOVED this so much <3

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!!! <3

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

HELP HOW DO YOU QUICK SAVE

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

HONESTLY--- THIS GAME IS AMAZING

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!

Thank u for sharing that game with us <3

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!!!

I CREATED AN ITCH.IO ACCOUNT JUST TO TELL YOU GUYS: THIS IS THE BEST NOVEL I'VE EVER PLAYED IN A WHIIIIILE. The characters are so relatable and I love their history so bad. They are just... So real like it feels natural to talk with them. Tbh I fell in love SO HARD for Quest, he is litteraly the loml, sweet, caring, hot and everything. Jesus Christ. I played his route twice and im about to play it again. Anyways you NEED to give a try to this novel. Def worth it. Voice acting, illustrations and writing are ON POINT, trust me.

i just finished my first route with nightowl and i can't belive how good it was, this game is extremely addictive!!!

This is possibly the greatest dating sim I've ever played. And I have played quite a lot of them.

The characters are VERY inclined to play with your heartstrings, the dialogue isn't "hello fellow kids"ish, the love interests are very very appealing, and even in places where your options don't matter, you just feel inclined to be nice.

Which, I have got to say, is... ridiculously hard for someone to do to me. There just isn't any guilt-tripping, you're free to do whatever you want, and being kind is usually the one people pick.

All of the romantic interests have their own little quirks, and their routes are very different, that eases the re-playing process, I personally could play Toasty's route for days on end, so lovely.

I'm trying to get the bad endings now, besides the fact my heart will inevitably shatter inside my chest as I do, I'm very excited to see what the team has in store for me!

Could not recommend a game more.

this is a such a such a nice game and i just hope for more in the future. i do not know if there is going to be more but it would be lovely if there was going to be more in the future!! i hope that there might be more to look forward too if we can do that because i finished all the routes ahha.

Love the story so much! Completed all routes in two days cause of how good it was. I'm so sad there's no more :(

This game is so good!! The pacing is immersive without dragging on, the characters FEEL real, and it truly feels like you've been dropped as a stranger into the middle of a private friend group, just like a real discord server. My only complaint is how quickly and easily you end up on characters' routes; you can't just casually go in and see which characters you have chemistry with, because you'll end up locked in to someone's route unknowingly. My first playthrough was xyx's bad end, and I didn't even realize I was on his route until day 5. 

I came for NakedToaster, Fell in love with ALL of them! I met my husband online and this had me recalling  those feelings of falling for someone through a screen all over again. Super sweet and cute game with just such lovable characters

p.s.. I had read the "LOUD SUDDEN SOUNDS" warning but that soundboard gave me a heart attack. Thank you so much again

i was literally hooked on this game and pulled all nighters to finish it LMAO how r all of these men so irresistable props to yall
