Instead of replying with staying up late say you usually go to bed around 10 and don't press the one that says that you cope by staying up late sry this is the most I can remember by memory. Oh and say you're looking to make friends when they ask you why you joined the server. I hope this helps tho!
Wow, even the characters who aren't date-able are interesting and feel real! Devs obviously put so much effort into this game, it's really nice to see the time and work spent on every character ^^
Each storyline/route was entertaining! I especially liked xyx's route, that dude was funny as hell.
This game is amazing, if you ever decide to publish it on steam, I would buy it just to support your work! I just don't have any supported services that I could use to donate directly in dollars, ahah
Anyway, I just wanted to say, incredible job! I haven't played dating sims that I could enjoy this much in a while, new kind of setting (server, chat, videocalls) instead of school or sth is very refreshing as well. I would also be lying if I said Quest didn't steal my heart with how cute, sweet and attractive (THE VOICEEEEE AND LOOKSSSSSS) he is <3 Literally irresistible
This was amazing and I wish I could experience something like this in real-life!!!!! Everything felt so real and now I'm feeling my singleness more then ever :). Nonetheless it was a beautiful experience, thank you for creating something as amazing as this!
so first, you need to play nightowl and Quest’s route for their route to be an option. Once you play those (or use the cheat code), you’ll have to balance out your affection to everyone so in the end, toasty will come up on top. Also, when his photo shows up you have to say it’s cute lol.
i completed all the good endings and omg it was a blast. i cried and smiled all the way through the entire game. i love the voice calls its honestly unique i wish more games had that! def a 10/10
i finished all 3 main routes and then did xyx's and man... i wasn't expecting him to win over my heart so swiftly ;_; <3 im so shamelessly weak for his accent wowowow
I completed 3 good ends(LOVE QUEST AND TOASTY) and really enjoyed all the video calls and voice acting. And the tital song is soooooo good. Now I'm going to play Xyx's route I'm expecting his route will be like chaos LOL
I played two routes and this game is amazing so far, I'm surprised how much voice acting there is. And the theme song? It blows my mind. It's such an endearing little game, and I love the voice calls so much.
im not sure if i commented before already when the old version was released but that won't stop me from obsessing over every detail at length (meaning SPOILERS) ; )
first of all XYX?!?!?! HELLO???? i thought nightowl was still gonna be my favorite but then i accidentally find out that he has an ACCENT?!!? and then i HEARD IT and WOW... never did i think his aussie(?) accent would make his pet names so much more dangerously...DANGEROUS! since when did i have a thing for accents?!?! all blatant simping aside, i REALLY REALLY loved his story, maybe bc i could relate more to his problems (cat :(, always wanting to be the funny friend and feeling guilty when sad) than with the other ROs (nightowl - unhealthy coping habits, quest - criminal record, etc.), i guess it really evoked more emotion out of me than during the other routes. (although they are all PERFECT as well!!) anddd although it wasn't AS romantic as the others (excluding the bonus epilogue cuz i mean...hello? dancing on a beach? romantic 101) it just felt more....realistic...in a way? like, although the other LOs professing their love the day after or even day of admitting feelings was flattering, it just felt more real w my boy xyx! not to say the other endings aren't amazing (which they are!! huge props to the writers) just personal preference is all!! there are other reasons i put him on a higher pedestal than the others, such as my love for his personality, his humour, his MOTORCYCLE and ofc his sprite (ALSO MEN W CATS JUST DO SMTH TO ME)
MOVING ON.......
i really loved the other small additions (being able to change music, the voice notes, etc), they really made it feel less like a game and more like just a server fangirling ab a romance webnovel!
i loved the slightly larger additions to the game as well!! it did feel like nightowl's story was lacking something, so im glad the team added the quiz and other fun conversations for more bonding. though it did not seem (to me) like toasty's story was lacking more, im still plenty grateful for teenage toasty's text adventure, and i think it was smooth how bloombot malfunctioning towards the end along w the random glitches, led to the huge conflict in the route
im not going to lie, when i first noticed the characters were redrawn i was a bit bummed, but in the end, i warmed up to them and love them! i realize now that the new art style makes them look more lively? and less like just...characters... so although i wasn't on board at the start, i have caught up and jumped on the train now!
overall, if u couldn't already tell, i LOVED it!! although the old version will always have a place in my heart, this full bloom edition has taken residence in it as well (after all, no full version means no XYX and THAT is something i would not like to think about D;)
but going back to being serious, i really enjoyed all the new additions, and i definitely think the team made the right choice with every last one of them! it was a really cool experience to play again w all of them in it! i look forward to any potential future projects the team may have!! BIG THANK YOU for all the work and effort that has gone into this game, it really shows how hard you all worked and i can say (by the brief read-throughs of some of the reviews ) with 100% certainty that many others feel the same!
THANK YOUUU <3
P.S. - i still have not and WILL NOT go through the bad endings
This is literally the best game ever. I loved all the different events that happened throughout the days, it was super fun to play! The voice acting is incredible too. Tell us the lore has become my ringtone haha.
This game is amazing! Each character is so good and has a genuinely interesting route, great art, great voice acting, fun plot, cool mechanics, the whole shebang! I honestly find it hard to pick a favorite route since each character was interesting and different. Nightowl was my first though so maybe a bit of bias there. lol, Thanks for making and sharing this!!
omg this is so good. i reeeeeally enjoy your game. Love xyx& toaster dynamic. also i just in love with xyx. wish i can reset my memory and play his route agaaaain~
your sense of humor is just my type. and plot twist in final route is sooo good, can't predict this.
thanks for this game and sorry for any mistakes T_T english is not my first language
the devs don't plan to make any more updates to blooming panic. however, there are some fanmade routes in the works for onionboy (cough cough) (me and some other people are) BUT robo is developing another game called "adonia ai" which is another dating sim, so look forward to that ^^
I am having a difficult time getting xyx good ending lol altho i did follow the walkthrough for him but i feel like im missing some part or i feel some part is missing in xyx walkthroug
Just finished playing through all of the routes yesterday and I already want to replay them. Everyone who worked on this project should feel super proud of themselves! The storylines were incredible. Emotionally impactful, super fun, the wit was top notch, and all of the guys brought something completely new to the table. I am a huge fan of this game. If you were ever to make a new route I would jump at the chance to read it but if not then I'll just look out for your next game! Really amazing work. Seriously!
let me tell you, this- this is one of the best and most fun game I've played on here. every route even if I didn't like the person at first just made me fall in love with the characters- and the voice acting ugh and the art too especially when they got all blushy. overall? love it I hope there will be more routes?
I've also miraculously managed to get every characters good end on the first try of each one (except for xyx ignore that he was the hardest one) very surprising, but it saves me from the heart break lol
Writing this as I finish my first playthrough (with a bad end!). I genuinely enjoyed getting to know the characters through the chat (which made the bad end hit all the harder) ++ delighted in the depiction of the parts of fandom that brought the characters joy. The story also didn't shy away from tough topics (tw is accurate!). I felt very unsettled at one point in particular and that's totally a credit to the writing + characterizations.
Edit: Ok - the choices are just tricky enough that it took me several tries to get the good endings for all of the routes and I did have to check the walkthrough for xyx. When I get bad endings I can't stop/won't stop trying again so I absolutely did marathon the game. :)

Games absolutely awesome, counter point. HOW DO I GET TOASTYS ROUTE. *SHAKES WITH FURY.*
so first, you need to play nightowl and Quest’s route for their route to be an option. Once you play those (or use the cheat code), you’ll have to balance out your affection to everyone so in the end, toasty will come up on top. Also, when his photo shows up you have to say it’s cute lol.

Bro this game is sick!!! It was so addicting with its interesting characters and fun mechanics that I played through it in a couple of hours :D
This game is amazing! Each character is so good and has a genuinely interesting route, great art, great voice acting, fun plot, cool mechanics, the whole shebang! I honestly find it hard to pick a favorite route since each character was interesting and different. Nightowl was my first though so maybe a bit of bias there. lol, Thanks for making and sharing this!!
i love the game
Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce "xyx?" I've just been saying each letter separately, like an acronym.
you can pronounce it like "zix" or the way ur pronouncing it rn
omg this is so good. i reeeeeally enjoy your game. Love xyx& toaster dynamic. also i just in love with xyx. wish i can reset my memory and play his route agaaaain~
your sense of humor is just my type. and plot twist in final route is sooo good, can't predict this.

Just finished playing through all of the routes yesterday and I already want to replay them. Everyone who worked on this project should feel super proud of themselves! The storylines were incredible.

thank u!
Good ending with Nightowl!!! OHMIGOSH I LOVED HIM SO MUCH! Also, the title song is just asadhsjhfghdyiifhr BEAUTIFUL!
Totally agree with you.

and I did have to check the walkthrough for xyx. When I get bad endings I can't stop/won't stop trying again so I absolutely did marathon the game. :)Having to get through the bad ending with nightowl made me fall apart. It was so hard to hurt him like that 😭
This is such a ridiculously well-made game I just wish it were longer
I haven’t played it yet but I hope one day there is going to be a Yandere route
naw.. 😧 ur gross if u like yanderes gn
