So, I just bought a new PC and thought of playing something for my holiday break two days ago and saw that XYX ROUTE WAS OUT?? And NEW ART? With even more words than before?
...goodbye sleep.
But for real tho, I loved this game so much I'm upset I finished it again, all endings and stuff, and now no other game catches my interest because this one stole my heart.
I already wrote a review almost a year back, but I'll say it again: you guys made an amazing game, with really realistic dialogue, and I can't really imagine how much work you must have put inside this game, I can only say thank you for everyone that played a part in it.
Now is time for my babbling, if you wish to read me fangirl about those boys, please go ahead.
Last time I played, I loved Quest's route, and it was, by far, my favorite. But now all four routes have kind of... even out? Though I am inclined to like Xyx's a little bit more (maybe because I didn't really cared for Xyx before, his route really surprised me), and I may have played it twice already? His personality by the middle of the route forward sold him for me a lot, I really enjoyed the depth you gave him, beside the "funny and chaotic guy" we knew him from previous routes.
Nightowl's route... well, I only started it because I wanted to finish all the routes, but I really appreciate the additional scenes added. He is a good character, but his personality wasn't really one I match with, so if I had to rank all the routes, his would be on the bottom, but it was still pretty good. I loved the added content, the quiz especially was super fun!
Toasty's adventure game was amazing!! I read there was a lot more you created about it but didn't put it in BP, but maaan that was so much fun, I loved it (and wasn't expecting for the add stuff to be a game, but it was great), and the foreshadow in here got a lot better because of it. And well... it's Toasty, we love him, he's a cinnamon roll and I just laugh every time he mentioned Final Fantasy, he almost convinced me to play it (if I had the time lol).
Quest's route was the same, so I don't have a lot to say. I enjoyed it the same as before, and he's still the same sweetheart that stole my heart with that "angel" line (but he has competition with "doll" now). So I had not a lot of surprises with his route, but he still warmed my heart nonetheless. He is the nicest of guys there and he is so calm, but not in that cliché calm and cold approach often done.
Honestly, this game just raised the bar for good character in games too high. Out of everything I love about Blooming Panic (which is already A LOT), the character work is just phenomenal. They are just too realistic. You absolutely nailed them.
I can't express enough (in a coherent way, because the word doesn't even exist in my vocab), how much I enjoyed this game as a whole, and I will be playing it again and again, and other games you put out.
And if you read until now, I hope you all have a great holiday <3
Ps. that version of the opening song is HILARIOUS omg lol
