A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Depressed day-in and day-out from a draining corporate job, you become invested in a fantasy webnovel and find a mysterious link to a fan server. Everyone is warm and welcoming, but four members take a special interest in you! 

WELCOME TO BLOOMING PANIC: FULL BLOOM EDITION! 


WALKTHROUGH NOTES FOR PLAYERS

  1. NakedToaster is the intended true and final route of the game. If you would like to play NakedToaster without having to go through nightowl and Quest (not recommended), you can access his route through using the username "LovelyLola".  (Xyx's route is not required to access NakedToaster's route.)
  2. In order to arrive at his route, you'll need to select "..." when the server greets you and call his selfie "cute".

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

(+1)

Really great game - thank you so much for all of your hard work. My favourite will always be Quest though! >o<
Great writing and the routes are super interesting. The Artwork is pretty and the calls are.. crazy cool. <3

Thanks again, I am looking forward to your next project!

(1 edit)

Hi, your games seem so cool! I would love to give this one a try and also your recent one seekL. Would you be able to release a version for Linux? Because I am using Linux these days and it would mean a lot if I could play your games.
Please?

[edit]

My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to try to download the PC version of both games. It turns out both of them already have an executable file for Linux inside. And I can confirm that Blooming Panic works in Linux. However, seekL doesn't work very well. It seems the graphics are glitching or something.

Hello, I was just wondering if this game will ever be available on Android?

(+1)

as much as i love toasty, i always felt happy when salo chats since he is so positive. i love how absolutely warm he is as a person to his wife and kids (plus his first wife). i felt really warm inside since he felt like a grandpa figure to me


gonna try out other routes but damn i love toasty sm as a love interest that it felt so short! i loooovvvveeeeee pretty men with a tsundere personality. loved how his voice actor portrays him too!

(1 edit)

I played this game a while ago , and I can say that nightowl is an example of the nice guy concept.Like he is sweet and everthying ,but that time when he snapped at us , I dunno after hearing his apology I  felt a little bit weird

(+3)

gahhh i just found this game and i binge played Quest's route. my heart, that was sooo good! i'm not usually a fan of pet names but every time he called me "Angel" i was over here blushing and kicking my legs 

(+4)

(+3)

I played this game a while back, and I'm gonna play it again, I've missed Quest and xyx </3

(+3)

ahhh, this game is so so good!! I just finished the last of the four routes and I got good endings on all of them first try because I'm a winner >:) not sure I can bring myself to go for the bad endings now lol. Xyx and NakedToaster are my favorites (esp Xyx). I love them so much!! (also FFXIV referenced? yes!!)

anyway, thank you for making this game. I'm definitely gonna replay it multiple times just to enjoy it all over again!

(+6)

wth this is so good..? the voice acting?? the interactions?? i love all of them!! i got all the good endings first (thank god) so i haven't seen any of the bad endings n im kinda scared?? (should i play them?) but oh MAN all of them are so loveable in their own way! I thought nightowl is gonna be my favorite as he's the most relatable character ever (he's literally jsut like me frfr..) but xyx!! oh gosh his voice and he has a *** ? AAAAAAAAAAA also i didnt actually know Toasty was supposed to be the last route I didn't read the notes cuz I just went and downloaded it sdkfjhsdkjfh but it's fine I got to see xyx's route last, no regrets!! tysm for existing crew n creating this lovely game <3

(+2)

This game was so good... I'm crying right now :,

(+7)

i'm not usually one to comment. however, i truly, deeply enjoyed this game. while i enjoyed xyx's route the most, all of the routes brought me an enormous amount of joy. i also became attached to the other members. they're always wonderful to interact with. thus, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making this game.

(+1)

I GOT THE BAD END WITH XYX FIRST- IT MADE ME CRY BRO

(2 edits) (+3)

FIRST TIME PLAYING THE GAME AND GOT XYX'S BAD END OH MY GOD.  

no but i llove this game this made me FEEL bro ToT

edit: got all the endings for xyx, quest, and nightowl, but it wont let me get toast's route! i even tried the LovelyLola thing to force it but that didnt work either :(

(+1)(-1)

when the server greets you, click "...", and click "cute" when xyx sends the selfie of toast :D

oh my GODDDDDDD XYX is such a precious cinnamon roll I CANT ASDFGHJKL

it is very very very engaging and I've never thought I'd stumble on a gem like that!!!

(1 edit) (+1)

Made an account just to leave a comment here, But this game IS SO GOOD! Im obsessed 


Edit (Maybe spoilers??Idk) Just finished BOTH XYX endings, I am crying, this isnt even a joke, I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH UGHHH

(3 edits)

I have to admit, i really love this game. I had so much fun getting all the (GOOD) endings. I didn't think I'd care much for Quest, but I was proven very very wrong! He's lovely <3 I couldn't even bring myself to try to get any of the bad endings though, uekafh my heart couldn't take it.

Of course, I don't think I have a favorite. I love all the characters so much, maybe too much.

I'd definitely pay for dlc's of the rest of the characters too (excluding our communal grandfather Salo ofc). Particularly Onion, if only because the little we did find out about him got my curiosity piqued lol.

All in all, A+ game. The art, the music, the wonderful and endearing characters, all of it made this game an enjoyable experience.

(+1)

JUST END ALL OF IT

this game got me giggling so bad(+1 for xyx), feel like  having a first love again LOL

HI!! I JUST FINISHED PLAYING (still havent got Toasty bad end but I kind of wanna put if off-) CUZ I HAVE ALL OTHER ENDING AND ITS BEEN SUCH A SWEEEET RIDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!

(I'll put my long message in the replies '3' )

SO! OMG I can't even begiiiin with how much this game changed me. I've been much comfier and more confident with communicating with others now, not to mention how much I've learned how to communicate (which has been my struggle for the longest time).

And! I love the story of the character themselves huhu. I could relate to almost all characters and their challenges- and how they succeed- made me more confident with facing life. IF I MAY- It's such a great comfort to me to know that bad end and good end may happen like whatever I choose today- bad or god- may allow me to have the very very best end I can have (like IRL) and that is just sooooo comforting!

Anyway this is pretty long already but- like the best for the last- I REALLY LOVE THE MECHANICS like chatting but especially the calls likee- I can't begin to tell how much comfort I had during all calls. ALSO- I promise this is the last thing- I GOT SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED LIKE WHAT??? IT'S JUST THAT GOOD I SWEAR HAHAHHAHAH

THIS is an amazing game made me giggle 🤗😉

Was that... a pengu toot cover of the theme song?

这个游戏手机不可以玩吗?如果不能那真是太可惜了

(+1)(-1)

how do i download it? i press game, then theres like, 50 more files

(3 edits) (+1)

okay, so the unzipped file? you're gonna double click that unzipped file, and then you'll see a folder called "game". that's not the actual game. don't click that. those are the files for running the game and crap. for itch.io games, the file you wanna tap on is gonna end in .exe. from what i've seen while being on here? always always ALWAYS!! ends in .exe. that's how u know what to click on. for my windows, it says BloomingPanicFBE.exe. it'll be something like that. double click it. boom, you're in. it also has a icon of a girl w pink hair and a hat. if u have any other questions lmk

tysm!!!

yuppp np

so i tried to find the .exe thing but its not there, im not sure what to do

whaaat? that's weird... can u lead me thru how ur opening the file etc?

(+2)

I love this game so much especially NakedToasters route I literally finished it first tho the first one I started was NightOwls which I finised halfway

(+2)

Absolutely amazing game! I loved every route and had so much fun going through each story. I'll 100% be checking out more of your work and the VAs, they did an fantastic job! :D Thank you so much!

(+2)

prob one of the best dating sims i've ever played, it will have a place in my heart forever, they are y'all fantastic and i enjoyed playing sm, thank you robobarbie etc.. for this piece of art<3
