Thank you so much! It’s so amazing to me that such simple things (like video games) can have such an important impact. I love being able to being some of my experiences to life in this way as well as to hear that it resonates with other people ❤️

Maybe in a few years I’ll have the words to properly express those more taboo things. I may have to revive my old otome blog page…

I consider Astra and Qwynn's relationship to be yuri!  Even though Qwynn  uses they/them pronouns they are afab and still identify as a lesbian. For those reasons I still read their relationship (Astra x Qwynn) as falling under the yuri tag. 

The hearts appear when you pick a choice that raises your affection points with a love interest! Once you enter a route the status button will appear in the quick menu so you can see how many affection points you have. If you have enough affection with a love interest then you can reach their good ending ❤️

Albion - pink hearts

Felix - green hearts

Qwynn - red hearts

Cal - blue hearts

Thank you! There's always a chance that I'll make more after stories that explore the side characters (Sylphia, Velvet and Nimue) in the future~

A full-route is unlikely, but more content about them in general is a possibility!

Hi! I know I responded to this for the Trans/Queer jam but I wanted to respond again here for people to reference in case they're curious! 

Astra (FMC) x Albion (Trans man)
Astra (FMC) x Felix (Cis man)

Astra (FMC) x Qwynn (AFAB non-binary)

Awesome, thank you! 

Hello! I also wasn’t sure so I’m happy to clarify, let me know if it doesnt qualify❤️

FMC x Trans Male MC

FMC x Male MC

FMC x Nonbinary MC (one amab and one afab)

Hi! Thank you so much for playing, and also for the detailed review! I truly love getting feedback and notes about the things that work and the things that don't, especially because this is the first game I've ever made. I marked the game as complete because the story is done and there will be no more major updates but I understand why that's a bit confusing considering the missing CGs (The missing ones are coming soon!). Art style wise Bloom has different artists handling each aspect for the game to keep workload down and also because I felt each artist is able to bring out a different parts of the game/characters ❤️

Cal's route is coming out this Friday! April 24th~

Thank you for taking a chance on Bloom! I’m also very excited to see the spin-off develop ✨

Thank you for playing!!! I hope you enjoy the latest update ❤️

Ahhh! Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. So glad to see you've been enjoying the game. I happen to be a big Felix fan too :3 

Happy to hear the glossary is helpful ❤️About the secret route… no comment 👀

Thank you for playing! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it :3

Hello, I am the creator of Bloom! I have been working on this demo for the last 6 months and it's finally complete :)

Step into the fantastic world of Feldoria and follow our protagonist, Astra, as she works on a development plan for her place of work, Cafe Bloom, (and maybe falls in love along the way)!
