one of my favorite games of all time. I smile like an idiot the whole time because I love everything about it and Peri and Pastille are so so great. I am writing this at 1am bc I had a sudden urge to play it again and I'm pretty sure I never reviewed it so I am saying now to everyone: play starry flowers. it's fucking amazing and you will not regret it
also I'm suuuuper hyped for the upcoming astragalus game and syrup 2!!
This was such a sweet, sappy (in a good way, i promise!), adorable story! I loved Pastille so much, he was just so earnest even though he was super shy and anxious. And Peri using lewdness to avoid being emotionally available was so relatable, it really is a struggle to voice your feelings and be that open, even with people who youve been open with in other ways. Their relationship was so cute to watch blossom.
This was so bad my mlm friend forced us to play this and we both thought this cringe mess of game was not a love story. Periwinkle is very annoying and highkey a sexual harasser.
my point is not the game is bad cause I like the art and stuff but I'm assuming the creator was women and its fetishy and it made me and my male gay friend uncomfortable
nomnomnami makes mostly wlw games. I really doubt she's a fetishizer. I'm pretty sure she just wanted to make a cute game and something that branched outside of her exclusively gl content. It's not that deep.
"I like being overwhelmed to an extent" This is literally the line that pastille himself said. It's not objectifying, it's consensual.
By the end of the game when their love is realized, periwinkle comments that "This was all supposed to be foreplay" and that "This should've been casual, not romantic." Because at the point, they realize they rather have that romantic interest over the casual hookup thing.
It's very clear that Pastille and Periwinkle both were consensual, and they both agreed. There was no objectifying involved. I just wish the people who are about to comment something on a visual novel, actually read it before making any statements.
I'd love to hear specifics on why you thought that. I got nothing but good vibes from the game and thought it was a really cool portrayal of a relationship stemming from a lifestyle that's about the exact opposite of my own.
Played it for around 2 and a half hours yesterday and got to chapter 7, just wow I love this game, it's so cute and great I'm absolutely enjoying the story too, once I get the time I'm most definitely continuing the playthrough, this is genuinely one of my favourite indie games so far
I love how cutesy yet mature you're games are they are the perfect balance of calming and thought-provoking in a subtle way. Not to mention the absolute cutest! You really inspire me and I love your work <3 Keep it up!
starting playing at around 11-12, its about 4am now. super long but was sooo worth it, i love the game this has got to be one of my favorites, i loved the little dress-up feature too it was super fun<33 if you're looking for a longer visual novel i highly recommend this one, i really like how it includes all the stress you go through figuring out if they really are the one you love or not instead of just meeting skipping right into being married or something. i love how it portrays some real-life events that may happen, the confusion, sorting things out, isolating yourself from everyone else honestly this made me tear up a bit i just love how it was made, i really like the bonus chapters i love everything about this so much, thank you so much for making this you did an amazing job
I know I already commented here but I just finished the game and I'm CRYING this was so cute and sweet I can't praise it enough! I don't think I ever liked a game so much, I'm so so thankful for everyone who made this, seriously wow
Oh dear I expected this to be innocent but I'm definitely not complaining~ I haven't finished the game yet but I can already say I LOVE it so far- The art is literally so cute, my heart can't take this <333 T_T
Nami I love your games and this is the saga that I like the most. The first one I played was a contract demon and then I played them from the beginning, I loved them, the colors you wear, the dialogues, the stories, and now I see two of my favorite characters together, one day I also want to be like you ^^!!!
peri was so easy to relate to... i felt a little bit of myself in his behavior and storyline, from refraining from romance to trying to come to terms with his affections. it just made the story so much more compelling and personal
i cannot sing the praises of this game enough!! it's your absolute best game so far by a milestone!!<3 i went into it expecting to feel warm and fuzzy but ended up teary eyed and squealing on the end song TvT amazing backgrounds, dialogue, storyline, pacing, everything took me by surprise... so happy to be a nami fan ^^
dsjhafoegfou No surprise here, Nami always makes the best games~ A bit take aback from the "sexual content" warning, but really hyped to play the game!
I died. It absolutely killed me. The art is beautiful, the music is so pleasant and soothing, the accessorising game is cute, but the boys and the story? Oh god, my heart was not ready. I could play it ten times over and my heart would never be ready. I love them so much. This was just a delight from start to finish, so sweet and earnest and almost unfairly heartfelt and intense - never over-dramatic, just simple and clean and wholesome, but damn if it didn't bury itself deep in my heart and set up its own little nook in there
a friend showed me this one, i just finished it and i now know that its adorable!!! i've always seen your works from afar, but the boys plot this time absolutely got my attention this time, and im glad it did! pastille's so so adorable, and thats not just because the game says so either... i wasn't much of a fan of the suggestive text, but i definitely see how it serves to work for the narrative, so its ok!
to sum, i really liked this one!! i really wanna look for more works like this now :D

"Used to hide the fact that he's a powerful witch" gave me roleplayer vibes lol

Nice game
Even though i’m Asexual this just looks to cute and cool to ignore, it just looks so darn cute
Also do you mind if I Chart Ost #8 - Pretty In Pink in Clone hero?
since it isn't my song, i don't feel comfortable giving permission--you can ask @dreamsoundsvid on twitter!
I don't have Twitter but I found their YouTube (from your video of the OST) when I can, I'll ask them there.
I’ve asked them and they gave me permission, expect a Download soon-ish (hopefully) I do have to chart it so it may take a lil’ bit
