honestly kudos to you for adding the outfit combinations and character customization. i have never seen a game do that before. i love the writing, i love the characters, and i love everything about this game. thank you for making such a heavenly game <3
I LOVE this game!!! I can't even express how fortunate I feel that something like it exists, from the dress up component (please, YES, my favorite and I LOVE the combinations and choices!!!) to having a grandpa who looks like the avatar, to the very real struggles and nuanced challenges that the plot handles.
never have i played a game that gave avatar items based off choices, and i LOVE IT???
holy melanin hunks, batman, IS THIS HEAVEN??????
playing feels like getting a hug, and also like i accomplished something since i'm *reading* so oprah i'm doing you proud girl. it is a comfortable pace with the text, i don't feel overwhelmed but want to keep reading.
YOU GET TO SASS BACK WHEN THINGS GO DOWN. LORD THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT, no otome is safe from dumb moments from our beloved suitors but the fact that we can say something? this spine of mine feels soooooo good
for myself, my avatar has dark skin and seeing someone who looks like me in a plant setting? it's a really big deal. historically our people were forced to work fields, so to see that flipped with them sustaining themselves through flowers? y'all this is big for my soul's healing, don't underestimate the power of gaming.
amazing job, truly. i send you endless gratitude and adoration, this is just...everything. i can't wait to keep playing!!
This game was soo cute, fun and I loved the love triangle(s) and DOMINIQUE. There is usually one LI that I find unlikeable in otome games but not this time! I also love the fact that this game actually had a cast (and love interests!!) made up of POC. It's so rare (when it really shouldn't be)
Great job :) (Loved the character customization too!)
After downloading the game, i couldn't get off my computer before completing it. It's captivating and fun and just so refreshing.
I loved the fact that clothes are unlockable by choices. I don't think i've ever seen that in another game. It takes character customization to a whole new level.
All of the characters are stunning including the main character but I'm definitly in love with Gabriel x) Thank you for bringing this beautiful game to the world!
Once I downloaded this game, OMG. So amazing, i wish there were more chapters. The characters were great and the function of dressing up the MC as the story progresses was so much fun. 5 Stars my dears!
This seems really cute! Unfortunately I didn't get to play long because I have a long work week so I'm excited to play it during my day off when that eventually happens. But I do have a question if the sweet/spicy affects the relationships with the RO's? Or just in obtaining certain scenes? Either way this is adorable so far and I absolutely love the art and that the MC is customizable- Can never get enough of that, especially with such great options! :)
No problem, I hope you enjoy it when you can! The sweet and spicy dynamic is what unlocks the styles of clothing that you can wear. It is a mechanic completely independent of what the LIs like because I didn't want players to feel pressured to dress a certain way to get the LIs attention. :^) There are also a few scenes which are unlocked based off of it, but not too many. Most locked scenes are based on whose points you have the most of.
Thank you! I'll relay your comments to the artist!
The game pretty fun with decent art, overall it's nice for a short casual game. But I don't like it when my choice inclined toward Gabriel, and I avoid Armando as much as I can, and yet he told me that I've to "take responsibility (about Armando)"???
I see your cmt about join the otome jam and releasing more relatively so I look forward for that.
I'm sorry about that! That is lack of foresight for me as a writer and all I can promise is to improve for the future. Thank you for your honesty and for still looking forward to my games!
I tried opening the Mac version of the game from the itch.io app and for some odd reason, it keeps on glitching out???? I opened other games from the itch.io app directly after this happened so I don't think it's an issue with my device, but I am very confused lollll.
Do you have any idea what this might be or any suggestions? I would love to play your game, it looks absolutely lovely!!!
Thanks again and congratulations on the game release! :)
This is so super cute!! The story is sweet and the characters are lovely! The customisation is always such a wonderful addition too! - though I have absolutely no idea how to access the wardrobe/change clothes unless its purely a 'only at certain times' option haha.
If you go in the extras page, you can dress up the MC just for fun. Otherwise, you can only change outfits at certain points. I didn't think to add that as an option.... sorry about that.
It's alright! It certainly doesn't detract from the enjoyment found at all so don't worry! In fact the only thing I could even say on that front is the whole forced Armando with no way around it thing - and even that is nowhere near enough to take away from the lovely work you've created.
I definitely could've added more branching but I was in a rush to release it before otome jam started today so that's my own fault. Nothing you can do but do better next time! Thank you for enjoying it! :D
Ahh this is so super cute! I love that the MC is customizable and that a lot (at least it appears that way) of characters are BIPOC as that's usually not the case. Regardless, overall very cute thank you!
This is super cute! Picking outfits was fun and I liked that the sweet options didn't seem too wimpy. I did feel a little like I was strong-armed into leading Armando on - I told him at the beginning he wasn't my type but everyone kept indicating that I was leading him on, and I wasn't sure how to get out of that? But the overall story was fun and I loved saving the flower shop!
I'm glad you had fun! I am sorry about that! I thought I gave enough choices to not reciprocate Armando's growing crush, but it's hard to strike the balance. I'm glad you liked the overall story though and I'll be sure to improve in writing for the next time!
Ok, I had to stay past 1AM just to finish this!It's not often that I find otome that I find all their romantic interests compelling but this...it's one of those. Although it didn't feel that long, the pacing was not rushed,and the sprites for the characters and backgrounds were simply gorgeous to look at.Plus the characters didn't come across like stereotypes,and most importantly the protagonist was not presented as a crybaby, even when I chose the "sweet" answers.Overall, incredible game, I'm definitely looking forward to your future projects! ^-^
Aww, thank you for sacrificing sleep to spend time with us folks at Merry Marigolds. I'm glad you enjoyed the art and the game overall. I really had a lot of fun making this game! Thank you for saying it was incredible. I'll be participating in otome jam and hopefully releasing more relatively soon so keep an eye out!

Yes! All of the cast are BIPOC. :^) The MC is, even, if you consider that her grandfather is black. ^^ Thank you for enjoying the game!
