As someone who's done 3/4 of the bad endings (I couldn't do Toast's bad ending help), they're truly so sad like omg... written very good but at what cost T-T
This game has no business being free, it's too good for us lowly commoners 😔😔. Side note, Quest is now husband #35 (Yes the number is accurate) I literally love this man so much, if this game had a bigger budget he would totally have been voiced by J. Micheal Tatum /pos (I'm literally married to every character voiced by J. Micheal Tatum)
Just finished going through all routes and can say I personally adore this game! I connected most with xyx but teasing and joking around are my true love language so no shocker there. BUT TOAST'S ROUTE WAS GREAT! As it should be since it's the main route... lol. BUT nah I actually teared up with his route but due to our talk with salo. Made me think of my fiance and how much I love him. It was super cute!
Also I personally loved this because every route was actually different. Not only was there a different conflict in each one but a different type of conflict. The author truly put a lot of effort into each route and that is something I respect and will cherish when I ultimately replay this game. Thank you so much!
Finished three boys' routes (Quest, Toast and Xyx). I was skeptical of Xyx at first but did I fall in love with him? YES!
The voices of every character are so good and I'm still listening to the Blooming Panic's song (of all the casts) to this day (have been playing this game like, from 3 months ago) I'll get around to NO's route soon but I believe all of them are very loveable. (But please, how could you come up with these characters?? I still think of them from time to time, maybe it's because their age's range fit with me personally too 😭)
OMG?! THIS IS SO GOOD LIKE WHAT? I ONLY PLAYED TWO ROUTES SO FAR BUT DAMN. IM OBSESSED AND THE ORIGINAL SONG THE CHARACTERS SING AT THE TITLE SCREEN IS JUST WOW. I can't believe I'm now just finding this game in 2023 I was missing out fr ! 😭
I really, really love this game. One day a few weeks ago i was really bored and in search of a game to play, so my friend reccomended me Blooming Panic. Ended up finishing all of the routes on the same day. Gorgeous art, amazing voice acting, charming love interests too!!! My favourites are defo Toasty and Nightowl. Seriously though, this is a masterpiece, 10/10
I really enjoyed this game. Glad I got the chance to play it. :D Its a gem. xyx and NakedToaster were some of my favorite characters. Prob NakedToaster more so because I TOO am an avid XIV player. Looking forward to any other projects you may work on.
xyx...................... UGH. he's so annoyingly charming i hate him and i love him. UGH. UGH. Anyway, this game was fuckin awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us here on itch. I look forward to all of your future projects. <3
this game made me feel so delusional but i'm honestly okay with that bc nightowl is the love of my life. HOW IS HE SO CUTE?!?!?! I WAS LITERALLY PACING AROUND MY HOUSE LOOKING LIKE A TOMATO BC OF HIM
taking deep breaths and walks aound the house trying not to romance nightowl again bc i wanna play the other routs but i love him sm. Absolotly love the game <3
I just finished one route and I must say - I AM IN LOVE WITH NIGHTOWL HES SOOO CUTEEE AND SO SWEET AND GENUINE TOO. I can't, he's genuinely so YES. His flirting was so cute and I was just blushing the whole time jknfukgbksbgiuk. I got curious about his bad end and it broke my heart. I can't wait to play all the other routes :)
I downloaded this on a whim tonight because I've been meaning to check it out and I AM SO GLAD I DID. Oh my gosh, I randomly got the Quest route and I was kicking and giggling the entire time. Plus the plot twists! The suspense! I'm so happy that this game exists, and I'm even happier that I got a chance to play it! Thank you!!
this question is honestly stupid but i'm stupid too so, i already downloaded it but i'm dumb to not know how to get it to show up on my screen :'D if anyone can explain to me how to do that i would appreciate that a lot ^^;
Go to your file explorer and look in downloads. You can start it from there, and if you right click on it you can set a shortcut. I believe this will work but I don't know for sure since it's been a few months since I've downloaded a game, so I'm sorry if it doesn't.
Love the game. But i honestly need more epilogue for these dude. Quest and Xyx stole my heart and ran away with it. I really would like to have a date themed episode even tho it wouldnt make sense. I just NEED MORE.
i can die peacefully if they made more content because I CANT IGNORE THE FACT THAT XYX AND THE PLAYER MIGHT BE ENGAGED?? (he has a ring on during the good end epilogue but im not sure if its just a design thing or so)
Omg, I literally just went through the entire game, which I probably should've done awhile back, but this game was so good. LIKE DAMN literally recommend playing this already, if you haven't then you just gotta. The stories are so interesting, and Bloomic is super good.
I will say that it's the least-demanding MMO I've ever played, probably the one with the chillest community. Could always grab the free trial and find out :V
Okay honestly I landed on xyx route on my first try and I was like, oh no he's for sure he's exactly my type! I've already played what will be the best route on my first D=
But then!!!! All the outher boys' routes hit. Like xyx is still my fave boy but I can't pick a fave route cuz they were all so goooood
Thankyou so much it was so fun i finished all the routes and I'll be replaying like 5 of them again (cuz the voice acters popped off like omfg)
Never have I ever felt so in love the moment my first call was Quest. I believe it's because of my kind interaction but- I did got the bad ending first (Don't worry, I use the guide this time for the good ending and for the rest of the characters.). Now that I finish the whole game + all and each good and bad endings, I'll be in my corner to sob.
But in all seriousness about the story, the arts (All three of it. The "fanarts", fanzine and characters arts.), the voice acting both extras and main characters, seriously everything, I LOVE IT! EVEN the discord feeling of the game, what else can I possible ask more?! I would definitely be playing other games made by you and your team!
Ah, sure! No spoilers so don't worry about my reply.
Quest's bad ending can be achieved when you press the second option, which is platonically option. I was kinda confused on why he seems to be disappointed after that because at my first gameplay, there was no other options (must have messed up my choices throughout in chats and calls) other than that. You'll see what happen next once you got to day 7, which is where the endings are.
So I've been playing otome games for many years, and NEVER have I been as obsessed with one as I am with Blooming Panic. I have replayed it more times than I can count- it's probably unhealthy at this point BUT I DON'T CARE. I've never been one to listen to video game soundtracks either, but I keep listening to the Blooming Panic theme on Spotify because it's so good and makes me happy. I also wrote my first fanfic of my entire life for this time. I've been devouring as much fanfic as I can find because I need more and even though there's a decent amount out there, it's not enough. What the fuck have you done to me Robobarbie?!?
P.S. THE VA'S ARE ALL SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.
P.P.S I would pay good money for an official onionthief route, or DLC, or a sequel, or other extra content. I'm begging.
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!! i got through all the endings (excluding the good ending for nightowl because he was so icky to me but no hate to nightowl lovers!) and I LOVED THEM ALL. xyx had to be my fav with toasty in second and the true ending was amazing and was exactly what i wanted out of this game. PLEASE ADD MORE ROUTES! Onion would be such a fun one and either Lady or June for all my wlw girlies! AMAZING GAME LITERALLY THE BEST IVE PLAYED
THIS GAME IS SOOO CUTE i was pleasantly surprised!!
I unintentionally got xyx's route first and FYBJKHBKJ its SOOOO GOOD his voice is so VJGUHILGJKHIL
I just finished nightowls route and man i love him so much. I love how the correct pronouns are included in the calls!!
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!
I cant stand onion tho xD I feel like he should of gave nightowl a way better apology and how just rude he is to xyx, bleh. I bet its just part of his character but man I can't stand him xDD
This game has ruined me. Never in my life did I ever think I would even be the slightest bit ok being called kitten by a discord mod this game, I wake up in a cold sweat and find myself logged into XIV when I dont even play MMO's, images of teslas with fedoras and nonbinary catboys haunt me. But most of all I will never be able to recover from the loss I felt when I finished this game and realized there wasn't more. I felt the grief of mourning a lost lover, will my heart ever beat again...?
On a serious note, I loved the game! Great writing and art, but the favorite thing about it was probably the soundtrack. I set the opening to be my alarm, so now I can wake up to their voices everyday until I get sick of it (which I wont). I look forward to playing the devs other releases <3
I played a lot of visual novel games and I can say that this is one of my all time faves! I love Quest so much, he's just so adorable 😭 Thank you for creating this lovely and fun vng, devs! 🥺
NOT EVEN KIDDING WHEN I SAY THIS HAS GOT TO BE MY FAV GAMES IVE PLAYED THIS YEAR.... i came onto itch.io just trying to look for something to spend the time and I END UP COMPLETELY HOOKED WITH THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO GOOD I HAVE NO WORDS AT ALL ? ITS SO EPRFECTJREKGHERG.H.R/R/J.... I AM SO OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTIONS...
saving toasty for last WAS DEFINITELY THE BEST WAY TO GO ABT THIS!!!!!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABT THIS GAME IDEK WHERE TO START.. THE VOICE ACTING? THE SERVER ITSELF AND HOW REAL THE MEMBERS FELT?? THE CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! OFC!!! THE STORY1/1?!!?! EVERYTHING LEAVES ME SO BREATHLESS OMG AND I LOVE SALO.
IM REALLY SO!!!!!!!!11 SPEECHLESS!!!!!!1 I WILL 100% REPLAY ALL THIS AGAIN IN THE MORNING WITH EARPHONES TO HEAR THEIR VOICES MORE PROPERLY . ANYWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO EVERYONE WHOS WORKED ON THIS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have left such a dear space in my heart!!!!!!!!!!
lord i want this on IOS badly- so i can take the boys everywhere! But obviously that takes a buncha work. Just know that this game got my heart and soul immediately, love it dearly!
New obsession unlocked. I love this game so much! The characters feel like real people and all four LI's are such fun to play through. I REFUSE to play the sad endings, I cannot do it, my heart would break.
Also, I was surprised that mr. Troll, aka xyx, turned out to be my favourite. 10/10 must protect the precious boy. Massive kudos to the VA as well cause damn...

I can't bring myself to play the bad endings, I don't have it in me to break their precious hearts. I love them too much to ever do such a thing.
As someone who's done 3/4 of the bad endings (I couldn't do Toast's bad ending help), they're truly so sad like omg... written very good but at what cost T-T
This is literally such a good game. Definitely in my top three for all time favorite games. Mobile version coming when cause ts is too damn good🙏
This game has no business being free, it's too good for us lowly commoners 😔😔. Side note, Quest is now husband #35 (Yes the number is accurate) I literally love this man so much, if this game had a bigger budget he would totally have been voiced by J.

i love this game so much and XYX UGHHH LIKE HES THE ONLY CHARACTER I HAD AN ATTACHMENT WITH FOR SOME REASON 🥰🥰🥰
xyx...................... UGH. he's so annoyingly charming i hate him and i love him. UGH. UGH. Anyway, this game was fuckin awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us here on itch. I look forward to all of your future projects. <3
i had so much fun playing this game!! i did the nightowl route and he's so cute!!
this game made me feel so delusional but i'm honestly okay with that bc nightowl is the love of my life. HOW IS HE SO CUTE?!?!?! I WAS LITERALLY PACING AROUND MY HOUSE LOOKING LIKE A TOMATO BC OF HIM
i want my memories to be erased so i can feel the joy of blooming panic for the first time
taking deep breaths and walks aound the house trying not to romance nightowl again bc i wanna play the other routs but i love him sm. Absolotly love the game <3
hey, I downloaded the game on a windows pc but for some reason it wont open for some reason. It says it seems to be missing an exe file.
You need to extract the contents of the .zip file into a new folder. Windows has a built-in unzip utility but I generally recommend 7zip.
thank you so much!!
I just finished one route and I must say - I AM IN LOVE WITH NIGHTOWL HES SOOO CUTEEE AND SO SWEET AND GENUINE TOO. I can't, he's genuinely so YES. His flirting was so cute and I was just blushing the whole time jknfukgbksbgiuk. I got curious about his bad end and it broke my heart. I can't wait to play all the other routes :)
I downloaded this on a whim tonight because I've been meaning to check it out and I AM SO GLAD I DID. Oh my gosh, I randomly got the Quest route and I was kicking and giggling the entire time. Plus the plot twists! The suspense! I'm so happy that this game exists, and I'm even happier that I got a chance to play it! Thank you!!
This game was amazing, and it is free. Insanity. I've paid for many more mainstream VNs that were clearly subpar.
this question is honestly stupid but i'm stupid too so, i already downloaded it but i'm dumb to not know how to get it to show up on my screen :'D if anyone can explain to me how to do that i would appreciate that a lot ^^;

i've tried that before and it doesn't work but thank you for your help ^^
Love the game. But i honestly need more epilogue for these dude. Quest and Xyx stole my heart and ran away with it. I really would like to have a date themed episode even tho it wouldnt make sense. I just NEED MORE.
i can die peacefully if they made more content because I CANT IGNORE THE FACT THAT XYX AND THE PLAYER MIGHT BE ENGAGED?? (he has a ring on during the good end epilogue but im not sure if its just a design thing or so)
YeS DUDE. UGHGHHGHG. I just need moreeee -heavy breathing intensifies-
can someone tell whether onion is datable?
Yes he is
Not like, *in the game*, though. Just in general.
Omg, I literally just went through the entire game, which I probably should've done awhile back, but this game was so good. LIKE DAMN literally recommend playing this already, if you haven't then you just gotta. The stories are so interesting, and Bloomic is super good.
Anyone got the link to post fanart so the creator could see? Thanks :)
i would find it but i cant sob, i tried
I love nakedtoaster and xyx routes the most. I enjoyed a lot.
this isn't related to bloompanini but is final fantasy any good for a person who's never played MMOs before??
I will say that it's the least-demanding MMO I've ever played, probably the one with the chillest community. Could always grab the free trial and find out :V
with free expansion up till level 60??? nakedtoaster vibes fr
Okay honestly I landed on xyx route on my first try and I was like, oh no he's for sure he's exactly my type! I've already played what will be the best route on my first D=
But then!!!! All the outher boys' routes hit. Like xyx is still my fave boy but I can't pick a fave route cuz they were all so goooood
Thankyou so much it was so fun i finished all the routes and I'll be replaying like 5 of them again (cuz the voice acters popped off like omfg)
