I DON'T REGRET DOWNLOADING THIS JHSGXSEKNHJKH I NEED MORE 😭🙏 (QUEST MY BELOVED 💙💙💙)
(+1)

Xyx my absolute beloved qwp . was so happy i managed to get his good end first shot without a walkthrough 

(+1)

oh my god i love this game so much i wish all the characters were real 

(+3)

such a good game istg the characters are all so relatable I cant do it anymore ISTG. My first love interest was nightowl and I relate to him SO MUCH, all of the stories/backstories for every character was so well thought out and I very much enjoyed it (I played it all during one sitting and it took me 7 hours) Anyway, the only thing I'm a bit sad about is that there werent any endings for June, Lady or Onion ( I was really looking forward to Onion tbh :C) Bit that's just nitpicking at this point, I also really really like the variety of characters and THE VOICE THINGIES, Everything was so cool, 10/10 game man.


Btw fangirled so hard at this (and a lot more tbh) ehehhe

(+1)

this is genuinely such an incredible game, i love it. xyx FOR LIFEEEE; he's so amazing and kind and smart and fun and HADJFSKGHSDFJK :') his bad ending broke my heart, so naturally i printed out the walkthrough and got the good one. i played all the other (good) routes afterward on my own, but of course, xyx is still first in my heart. he was designed in a lab to be everything i want in a fictional bf. i really felt for him & related in some ways, and it was just such a rewarding route overall. oh and he's beautiful, and so is the art in this game. :) thank you for making this, i can't explain exactly how much i love it BUT YEAH it's epic, and robobarbie & dev team, YOU ROCK!!! <3 

QUEST MARRY M EMARRY ME RFN PLS PLS PLS I LOVE YOU SOS SO SOS SO MUCH UGFKJDHAFPiiiiisgvj[sjv

Lei un comentario que decía que todas las rutas la hicieron sonrojar, ME PASO LO MISMO JAJAJA. No me suelen gustar todas las rutas de este tipo de juegos, pero con este juego me enamore de todos. No puedo elegir a ninguno como favorito, todos son geniales <:)

Por favor juéguenlo, no se van a arrepentir!!

I have a problem, I've been trying to start Toasty's route, but no matter how much I tried it wont work. I even watched a youtube video to copy all the choices, yet it still wont work

(+1)

You need to finish the nightowl and Quest's route first. Or using the username "LovelyLola"

Thanks!!

(1 edit) (+1)

I have literally come back and have replayed each route so many times. This is a genre of game I've never experienced before ESP not in this format, but I'm OBSESSED. The interactivity of it all. Really feeling like you have control of the outcomes and everything. I would play a million more games just like this. If you ever make any more like this, I'm waiting to pay TOP DOLLAR for it! The idea is so original and I love that you brought us in the middle/end of this groups' story. Idk if I could be any more obsessed with it. When i say I BLUSHED in every route OKAY??? I need more. I've said it. I won't take it back.

(+2)

OWL IS MY BELOVED WOULD COMMIT CRIMES FOR HIM!!! <3

hey im having this bug where i cant access naked toaters route even if i use the username lovelylola it just doesnt work and i already done the other routes and still cant get into his route

(+9)(-3)

i don't think he likes you sorry!

(+2)

i was surprised when the name i chose was voiced ANYWAY I LVOE THIS GAME SSOOOO MUCH!!

I need more of this, I re played this so many times

(+1)

I made sure to get every single one of their endings, and as much as I loved everyone and Nightowl in particular... xyx has my heart!! When I got his bad ending, I was BAWLING MY EYES OUT, like I felt like someone just ripped a part of me out :'( But once I got the good ending, I was ecstatic!!. The voice actor Mike Young is just amazing I love his voice!!. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful masterpiece. I loved every second I spent playing the game!!, It holds a special place in my heart <3

(-1)

i wish i could play this : c

(+1)

nightowl my beloved hes so relatable eugh eugh

(-2)

onionthief route when/hj
(this game is absolutely one of the GREATEST games I have seen on itch.io, I already played this game such a long time ago but I decided to replay it a BUNCH of times for xyx, literally infinity/10) (salociN world domination btw, he's such a sweet old man)

(+2)

I LOVE THIS GAME IT'S MY NEW OBSESSION!!!!

I love ALL the characters, and I can't even begin to tell you the amount of times I folded while playing. I love how different all the routes are for each character and how we get to have small moments with side characters (like salo, I adore that old man). I think the discord atmosphere was captured really well too- the set up is so cute and cozy. I go back on discord after playing and I'm like... jeez this place is so cold. ALSO THE MUSIC, I love the title screen music (and all the other songs too ofc). It WILL be #1 on my spotify wrapped idc if there are only 5 months left in the year. Anyway, I just adore everything about this game: the VAs, the art, the story, and I had a ball getting to know everyone. <3

One of my favorite dating sims ever! Ugh, I loved this game so much. 

I think this game was recommended to me after playing another game and I did not regret playing this. This game has a unique use of a server. For example, you can play music to whatever song you want to, you can read Acts from the webnovel: Blooming Panic, and lastly, - and my favorite mechanic that I haven't tried yet - you can add things to get your warnings from the bot. 

I loved every single love interest in this game. Each boy is charming and caring in their own ways. I ended up falling for all four of them. And lastly, I love how the conflict and problems rise differently for each route that matches the interest's personal problems and/or past.

Thank you for making this amazing dating sim and I hope to play more of your games! Keep up the good work!

AAUUAGHJH I LOVE ONION  I HOPE WE CAN ROMANCE HIM ONE DAYY..

(+3)(-1)

toast is such a freaking dork and i love him

(+3)(-1)

they will never make me hate you toasty, my fellow XIV enjoyer.

(+1)

I love it!

(+2)

i usually only go for good endings with characters i like but i accidentally got xyx's bad ending first and i was absolutely devastated T____T for some reason his good ending was so hard to get, for me atleast. i had to watch a yt video to get it  but now i'm satisfied but also sad that i finished such a great game 

(+3)

Me casually kicking my legs and squawking after finishing Quests and Nights endings :D 

(+2)

I love this game so much, the characters, voice acting and lore are all absolutely fantastic. I fear I will never get over Blooming Panic. toasty and xyx honorable mentions :)))

(+2)(-3)

It's really good and the whole interface felt completely natural for Discord users like me. I ended up with Quest during my first run and I LOVED my interactions with him - it felt like he was a real person. xyx was my second-favorite love interest, I loved his personality! Both voice actors sounded amazing btw. The other love interest weren't my type and I didn't really like Toasty which is odd since I am an active FFXIV player and I really liked every single time the game was mentioned, haha. I think it's the visuals. I don't like the drawing style, it reminds me too much on western comics which don't appeal to me at all... and those huuuuuge eyebrows are really hard to ignore, lol. 

But since EVERYTHING ELSE was so so so good, I had to give this game a full 5-star rating!

(+1)

Omg this game has made me cry twice in one day ;-; 

very good game but zxz is so saddddd i jus wanna love himm but i keep getting bad endings! T-T

(+1)

This game made me cry, but other then that it's the best dating sim i've ever played! Love the lore of the server and Nightowl and Toasty are awesome!

(1 edit) (+1)

istg ik im SO SO SOOO late to this game, BUT OMGGGG!!! im literally so obsessed with the characters, li's, and the way + style of the game was made!!! i think this is awesome, i cant stop listening to the theme song! T-T i think the VAs did so good for their first time voice acting, and it feels real! the writer and illustration artist did so good:) overall, i can play this game over and over and over again without getting bored! tysm for blessing us with this amazing game, and tysm for being such a good community overall!

also, nightowl = MWAH -,-

(+1)

Okay, first off, LOVE THE GAME.

only im super sad cuz i got all the bad ends in a row but still-

I love nightowl so much, he's amazing! But does anyone know how to get the good end for xyx?! My boy needs to be happy!

(1 edit)

We’ve got a walkthrough for him linked under the download buttons!

(+1)

Omg whoops! Sorry, didn't see it lol

(+2)

I absolutely loved this game. It made me cry multiple times. All I ask for is to know the actual names of the characters because I love them.

(+1)

I played this game a while back, and I'm gonna play it again, I've missed Quest and xyx and toasty

(1 edit) (+3)

I got all the good endings, decided to replay! And then I got Xyx's bad ending. Kill me rn, SAY SIKE XYX 

(+2)

IM SCREAMING This game is literally everything and more I LOVE IT SO MUCH
