WOOHOO GETTING ATTACHED TO FICTIONAL BOYS LETS GO

all of the server interactions were so fun! the voice acting in the calls kinda shook me LMAO their voices really fit the characters :D the routes are freaking emotional rollercoasters, and I enjoyed playing through all of them - I think I related to nightowl's the most but NakedToaster's was my favorite :) anyway, it's a really excellent game! super immersive and all the characters, even just the basic server members, were incredibly realistic and funny <3 (except you. you know who you are)

(+3)

huge, HUGE ABSOLUTELY MONSTER ENORMOUS love for all of them

except you-know-who




Spoilery stuffs⚠️

Loving that pretty zen MysMes reference tho.

Also not me being jelly of salo's wife and disappointed when I don't get to know their real names 😁

Looking forward to another hot mystery! ;) 🤤 Damn, i wanna date xyx so bad now wtf

Ahhh

This was such a fun and creative game, I loved all the characters. I couldn't stop smiling, their interactions were entertaining but heartwarming as well, i've had trouble with joining servers because i'm very shy so this made me feel happy. Thank you for this lovely game:)

AND when quest said good girl?! don't play with my heart like that omg

WHEN DID HE SAY THAT

(2 edits)

Hi ;)  

In the second video call with Quest! after you tell him " More like why was my day, ha!" and then " I'll try my best " 

(+5)

This game is amazing and the best part is that it's free. The voice acting is really superb. The title song is catchy, I listen to it daily. Each character is unique which interesting backstories. Though my personal favorite is toasty. I recommend checking out the game.

Toaster boi <3

I open itch I profess my love for nightowl I close itch.
u can't just give me a character with a somewhat volatile personality caused by a lack of emotional support and low self-esteem and expect me not to fall in love w him hello!?

The way I loved literally every character in this game tho omg I hope we get to see xyx's route one day because I'm 101% sure it'll be as amazing as the other three

Hey! Sorry to bother but I'm not getting the "..." option with Toast? When his selfie comes up, I get "LOL cute" and "uhhh". Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!

(+1)

Hello! The "..." option is at the very beginning when you enter general chat. You'll need to select that and then, later at the selfie, also select "LOL cute". Hope this helps!! 

(+1)

omg ty!! I see now I misread lol,, again tysm!!

(+5)

I sat down last night after getting a recommendation to play this game and unhinged my jaw and inhaled it all like a fucked up snake. It was delicious tyvm

NO BUT REALLY!!! The feeling of a discord server was so well captured and I loved all the unique faces in it. Each route was short and sweet and sooooo so cute.... It's ironic that Toasty compliments your laugh when his is literally the cutest sound I've ever heard. I'm going to be rotating this game in my head like it's stuck in a washing machine for months, thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing this story with us. 

(+5)

My cheeks hurt from smiling and blushing so much. All the routes were the absolute best and each character's story felt so real, even the non love interests felt interesting, life-like, and made me want more even when each route had come to a close. 

The voice acting was so good, especially the opening song. Nightowl, hands down, best boi though I also adored xyx and can't wait for his upcoming route. That epilogue was HAWT <3 <3 <3

(+4)

OMG I LOVE THIS GAME, QUEST IS AMEZING I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM LIKE PLEASE I AM MELTING RN

All the characters were so lovable (except a certain boi who I WILL throw hands with) but Quest has my heart, I want nothing but good things for that man ahhh he deserves it! they all do! and so does everyone who worked on the game, y'all did an amazing job!

Hi! Hi! I love the story of Blooming Panic, soooooo, much! The routes, the characters! Bby salo and June uwu. Gosh it was just perfection!!!

Though, I do have a question if you don't mind me asking qwq, how do I get to read the epilogues or are they not readable? Or maybe, I have to complete the good endings and the bad endings as well??? Idk, maybe I'm just dumb or smth. Cuz when I press the names in the epilogue, they're blank... is my laptop just dumb? XD (wait... are the epilogues the endings?? sjskhhsdjgdg) im really dumb, haha........

And thank you so so much for sharing this game with us lonely and single peps! <3 Love you!!! <3

Oh no! I haven't seen that happen before. Please email us a screenshot at bloomingpanic@gmail.com and we can try to help you out!

there's not nearly enough love for nightowl in this world and i am writing mainly to make justice for him

no but i love this game so much!! i have been playing it for the past couple of days and i have just finished going through all the routes but i will most likely keep on screaming for another week. love the art, love the writing, LOVE the voiceacting!! i never thought it'd be a big deal but was i wrong!! all the characters are so lovable (they make me cry.) and the music is just so cool.

thank you for creating this game, really. and good luck with any future projects!! we all are looking forward to them!!!

Like everyone else here, I just want to tell you that I really loved this gem of a game. I was hesitant at first because I've never been a fan of messenger-style VNs, but everyone was gushing about it and I knew I had to give it a shot. I'm so glad that I did. It was so incredibly special. Setting it up as a Discord-like server was such a great approach and was executed wonderfully, and you handled the delicate balance of identity vs autonomy with amazing skill.

I dearly loved all three romances and thought the VAs did a wonderful job, though Toasty was my favorite (and that's not just because I am also a huge FFXIV nerd). Each route walked a new path, so it was always fresh while still being the same server with the same group of loveable friends and fans. The story progression of the routes was so well-paced, and the climax was very satisfying and on-point.

While I loved the story and the romances, the part of this game that shined the most for me was the rest of the cast. All of their personalities were so varied, distinct, and realistic that I constantly found myself thinking, "I know him. I know her. Yep, I know that one, too." They made me laugh, they made me love them, they made me believe they were real people and wish dearly for our friendship to continue long after the credits rolled.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful game with us, and I am so looking forward to seeing it expanded with xyx and any other content you might have planned!

Aw. Appreciate this. Thank you for playing!

Okay, so wow. This game was such a gem and I HIGHLY recommend it if you like realistic romances. It has some twists to it that definitely don't make it your run of the mill dating simulator, and the three routes felt extremely fresh. It is kind of assumed you will go through all three routes and so the repetition between all three is pretty minimal. All the characters were extremely likeable when they were intended to be, and it felt like a real server in so many ways. You could tell there was a lot of care and attention put into crafting these online personalities, as I felt like I had met similar people in real discord servers. By the third run you I ended up caring a lot about these characters and felt very invested in the server. Overall this was a fantastic experience and throughout my ~6 hours of gameplay (I was so hooked I basically played this until 4AM..) there was never a lull, the game kept me engaged throughout. The humour and writing was incredibly on point!

Gameplay-----------

This was one of THE most engaging UI's for a visual novel I had ever had the pleasure of playing. Exploring the server features, entering video chat, being added to hidden channels was a really exciting experience. I spend almost all my time on discord and I was surprised how giddy I was at something as small as using bot commands lol. The pacing of this game is excellent and none of the parts overstayed their welcome. The intensity of the gameplay is pretty much entirely dictated by who is in the chat and how active the server is, and I love that there are times where everyone is online and actively typing and others where it's a little slow and you get to know some of the server members better. There are also some nice twists and turns by the time you romance NakedToaster and those were really refreshing. The gameplay and UI never got old to me, and the OST had no right being this good.

Story-----------

If you play this game the way the devs intended (recommended) you get an initial two options: a young, immature romance and a heavy mature one. I ended up being unintentionally locked into the immature romance first and knew right away as I was going through his route that this was a bad one for me. I felt all the red flags come up for codependency and some toxic behaviours and and ended up failing his route the first time because of it. I was blown away by how realistic this character was and how this game really didn't shy away from going there. In my second run I was successful in getting the more mature romance, and right as I thought things were calm and chugging along, BAM! I was hit with a huge plot point and that this route would not necessarily be 'easy' either. I was totally taken off guard and never had expected this game to go to this *totally different but almost equally as realistic* place either. I love that it made me question my own code and morals and I either had to jump ship or double down. I was so glad I did double down and it was an extremely rewarding romance, with a lot of depth because of it.

People don't come to you in life as perfect little dolls waiting to be romanced by you. They have their own lives, histories, ambitions and this game was really successful at reflecting that. I went back to complete the first failed run and then went for the third (now unlocked) romance and it was a really endearing experience. I'm really glad I went through the romances in the order I went through because it built upon itself really nicely, and there are so many juxtapositions between the first two that make for compelling character writing. I would say out of them all the mature romance was my favourite, which seems to be the common view here.

Thank you so much for this review! This really meant a lot to our team. 💚

(+2)

This was so fun so sad Im already done it ;( TYSM FOR THIS GAME

(+5)

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

PPS is xyx getting a route bc...

(+11)

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. 

This is so sweet!! Thank you so much for your kind words! 💚

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 <_<)

(+5)

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✨

(+3)

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

(+5)

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.
