Nah, the order is Petal - Bliss - Moon, but I think there was something about making her look a bit older so Patreon won't kill it or something.

More likely, Petal was made to look older because of the Steam release. As incredible as it seems, Steam is even more sticky about underage females in adult games than Patreon. I have seen several developers complaining about having to age up their girls to meet Steam requirements.

Yeah, that's also possible, for the most part it's a pretty safe bet to assume that Patreon is the problem whenever something happens
I feel drawing the line at underage content is pretty reasonable though, even though I have the stance myself that it's only a game and not reality, but still.
That being said, where I live they seem to have drawn the line at literally every smut game as I tried to look up a few over the past weeks and never found any.

Just in case Lockheart watches this message board: Congratulations on the Stean release! It was an instant buy for me even though I've already played it through production thanks to the reasonable price and the steam achievements.
I'm looking forward to see the other two games of the Rose Garden trilogy on Steam as well!

Was just about to post that the game is released on Steam.
Thank you for your support!
The Over the Moon
You must be registered to see the links
is live already, but we will take a bit of time to polish everything, add achievements etc.Unfortunately, we are unable to release Petal on Steam because it was banned the first time during pre-release review. Once banned you won't get another chance to fix the issue that led to the ban.
We will have to see and maybe consult with Steam to know if we can get it as the all-in-one The Rose Garden to the store or not. We will have to be really sure, because repeated bans of a game can get your whole account banned and maybe even the associated developer accounts.

Good luck with that! Shame that they're very unpredictable when it comes to deciding if a girl looks 18 or younger than that. To me Petal in the first game already looked like she was 18 or 19, but what can you do.Was just about to post that the game is released on Steam.

At least I already had Over the Moon already on my wish list, so also looking forward towards the conclusion of that story.
When I've put some time in this game on Steam, I'll definitely leave a positive review.

Are the Steam mods really that gullible? Also, I've seen no other devs do it yet on Steam (and I check weekly on planned AVNs for the upcoming year).

Summer with Mia 2 got rejected and they changed the name to "Returning to Mia" and now it is on Steam, and there are some others I can't remember off the top of my head.
There is always GOG as well
If the first game got blocked because Petal as a character crossed some kind of line, this would mean all of them should be blocked too.
After all Petal is present and an active participant in all of them.

I expect it's a very arbitrary job outsourced somewhere in china or india, the same game with a different title won't land at the "desk" of the same person, and they won't bother to look into it either. One may be stricter than the other and ban a title that another one lets through. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Ah okay. I knew it got a namechange (same with another of their titles Lust Theory), but that was pretty early in production. I thought it was their own choice to rename it, didn't know it was because of Steam because they also accepted the first name. Hopefully a renaming for this Petal Among Thorns will do the trick.Summer with Mia 2 got rejected and they changed the name to "Returning to Mia" and now it is on Steam, and there are some others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Yeah and it's not like she looks really older. Then again, it wouldn't be the first time that Steam retracts games that were previously accepted by them.

This is indeed a trilogy. As far as I know there is no 4th part planned.
You don't necessarily need to play the first part, but (if I'm not mistaken) there are callbacks and characters returning from the first part. You can still play part 2 and 3 without having played part 1 however.
Don't know why only 2 is tagged as harem, since 3 also is a harem game. Only 1 doesn't count imo as harem.
Edit: Since abouta week Moon has been completed

Thanks a bunch, I'll skip the first one and give this a try then
I saw that Over the Moon was marked as complete, but no harem tag there (yet) and got confused and concerned.
There are also lots of people there saying the ending was not very satisfying... so I couldn't decide if I should even start this lol.

Oh, then it could be that I'm mistaken about Moon. I see why, I didn't notice there being an update released a couple of days ago. I need to play that one then to see if it is indeed the final part (which I'm pretty sure it is if the thread notifies it as such).Thanks a bunch, I'll skip the first one and give this a try then

It is a trilogy, the games feature the same MC and play out in chronological order.
The first game isn't a Harem because in it the MC is taking an extended weekend trip with his youngest daughter (Petal) and fucking her, Petal is the only other character besides the MC.
The second one "A moment of Bliss" starts when they come home from their trip, so you have Petal, her sister Bliss, Rose their mom... almost everyone other than Moon(and a few of Moon's friends), the 3rd sister, titular character of this final game.
Over the Moon is now tagged as complete, finishing the trilogy, and while it's an okay ending for Moon...
It kinda falters as a trilogy closer, the other girls from the earlier chapters don't play a big role or get a goodbye.
We don't see the whole family together except for one render in a epilogue.
