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!!!
