Bloom (2026)

What an amazing game! Incredible deal I can't believe this game is FREE you get such a good amount of content per route, I love all of the characters I think they're gorgeous and so well written. All of the artists did such an amazing job, I'm still thinking about all of the characters and couldn't recommend the game more!!

This is a wonderful otome! The characters are all extremely charming and well written. The music is lovely and the art is absolutely stunning. I can't believe this is free, honestly - all the routes are fantastic. I would totally recommend to anyone even slightly interested. The world will suck you in before you know it!

It's good in itself (I liked the characters, the choices, the story, the art, the romance, the endings and after stories... almost everything really!), but there's too many annoying details around it. I only managed to truly enjoy it by the third route I played. Just in the UI alone: The prologue has like 3 chapters (each with an announcement slide, of course). The custom cursor isn't intuitive so each click takes longer than usual. The main menu has "Load" in a totally random place instead of being right under "start". The glossary is unnecessary and makes the game even more crowded. All details, but it adds up. And then there's in-game stuff, like Astra's "talk" sprite which shows so much teeth it's distracting, or explaining that the town has 7 blocks and she lives in block 3 but Felix in block 4 and - who cares? It doesn't even add to the worldbuilding, just adds boring lines. Felix's and Albion's pov segments are pointless (it's like ten lines of nothing) and it's weird to have them in 3rd person when Astra's always in 1st. Story-wise, a few things that are perfectly forgivable but they annoyed me a bit: Felix's big issue is [spoiler]that he's scared of passion a…

i do absolutely love it and wish there were more games like this!
