OH MY GODS!!!! I downloaded this along with a handful of other chatsim style dating sims and this one is BY FAR my favorite!! I fell in love with every single love interest, but I think Quest and Xyx are battling for my favorite. I'm glad I played Toasty's ending last, that was genuinely the best way to finish the game. Everyone on this project did OUTSTANDING work and I will 100000% be replaying this game in the future. <3
This was AWESOME!!! Quest is like the epitome of my type and BOY did I enjoy playing his route! Everything about this was sosososo good and I WILL be playing this again for the other routes! Cheers. :)
Hello ! I really like your game. I am a French translator so if you want some translation, don't hesitate to answer me.
I discovered this game in March of this year and I'm still so in love with it. I must have played it dozens of times. I made an account just so I can comment about how much I adore this. There's proper and well written lore, the different routes actually have completely different interactions and plot points, unlike a lot of other visual novels in this style, where its often that the scenarios are the same and the only difference is the specific LI that you picked. The characters actually have unique and well written personalities, the side characters too! They also play a big role in the game and have connections to each other, the LI and the MC as well.
I really love this Visual Novel, I absolutely recommend this to everyone, this game had a big impact on my life.
Oh my gosh! This game is amazing! I came back to complete all of the routes and I'm glad I did!!! I could have missed so much of the story (」><)」The horror!!!
i wish so bad I could download this on android :p
literally made an account just to say that im currently downloading and playing all of robobarbie's dating sims because hello?? this game was so good like. i love that each LI in the server represents an LI/char from Bloomic, it was really such a cute detail.
the writing was incredible and gave every single character such dynamic yet realistic personalities. from the start, it felt like i was truly in a server with all of them!! i LOVE that even the non-romancable chars felt like they were written with the same amount of love and care that was given to the romancable chars. i cant stand when the "bg chars" in vns are just,, underdeveloped and have the personality of wet bread like. it just kills the immersion. but this game did the bg characters justice and i love them all.
i could genuinely yap on and on about this vn but. go play it if you havent. give those 4 goobers some love. xyx my beloved stole my heart and i cant bring myself to do his bad ending route bc i WILL cry
MC goes to fan server of beloved novel and then somehow became obligated to be a someone's girlfriend? Very strange plot concept.
Literally no words to describe how much I love this visual novel 🥹🥹🥹 amazingff
Peak, absolutely peak. I love the characters and how alive they feel with their individual struggles to overcoming their hurdles. I love how this game is a love letter to creation and transformation in all of its forms. Truly wonderful and romantic.
Great game! I loved the storylines and love interest. The voice acting, pics, and memes were also incredible. Great job to everyone who contributed to this masterpiece and now I will go play seekL for the first time <3
ahhhh i love this game sooo much! I got all the good endings, but I can't bear to get the bad endings <3
heyyy love the game :) just a minor thing, the link to salociN's quote doesnt show anything :(
Absolute Cinema
SUCH a wonderful game. did all the routes and loved everything in it so much. the writing, the art, the story, the characters, the voice acting! GGs thank you <3
I love love love this game!!
I really recommend playing this! The story, art, music characters/character development is so good!!
I've recommended this game to a multitude of my friends who play romance games, and they all absolutely adore it!
Although I was hesitant to play this game at first, it's come to be my absolute favorite romance game. It's even made me cry a few times. All happy tears, ofc! (unless you're playing for the bad endings :( )
It's been a huge comfort game for me for months now, and I have way over 99 hours playing it at this point ^^;
Tysm Robobarbie and everyone who helped you create it!! :3
I played the Nightowl route and he's soooo cute when he's drunk (🥰), and every time too, btw... Am I in love with him? Probably lmfao. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! <3 (i'm french, sorry if my english suck)
absolutely peak! at first i sort of cringed at some parts, but when i got to nakedtoasters route, i was in love lmao exactly my type, and his voice actor did really well too. anyone recommend more dating sims with a character like this pleasee..
i also heavily enjoyed Xyx's route! I was not expecting to like it so much, and I definitely wasn't expecting the path it took, but it was very cute and a good portrayal of such problems and emotions shown. I also loved the voice acting for him as well!
i loved this so much!! beloved xyx, i am defenseless against the resident troll
also toasty please show MC how to equip their job stone T_T
sorry to ask but.. how did you get xyx´s route? i´ve been trying and i can´t :´´´´
does anyone know how to play on Mac?? I thought if I updated mine, it would allow me to, but sadly, it doesn't give me the option to play even when it's downloaded ;-;
you can try by using the Whisky program, and you download it through windows.
just finished quest's route,,, i wish he was real AGH HES SO CUTE

IM OBSESSEEED i loved the game sm. quest and nighthowl were my favorites, i need more of them (◞‸ ◟)💧
OMG I LOVEDDD THIS GAME SM!! But I have ONE complaint. I NEED MORE AFTER THE MEETUP WITH NIGHTOWL!!! That was so cute and I literally started tearing up because there was no more:(( Pls consider making more not of just nightowl but for the whole game!
Only did the bad endings as well because I wanted to appreciate all the hard work that was put into this game fully...and it sucked. In a good way. You're all so very talented, thank you for this.
Not me just realizing after playing this 50 times how Xyx's jewelry changes in his good ending! I'm obsessed I love him so much
this story was so much fun. I did all the good ending, but haven't tried for any of the bad lol. Guess, I'm like the MC in that way
