    Red-headed lesbians are my thing, and yet I don't recommend this game unless you also love gigantic breasts and incest, and can tolerate mediocre renders and poor story and writing in a game that seems to sometimes forget that it's a visual novel.

    I'll start with the story and writing, because there's a lot of it, and it's not good. (If you're only interested in the sex, skip to the bottom.)

    The writing seemed to imply to me only a vague understanding of women, queer women, sister relationships, how gravity works, how baths work, how laundry gets dry, what classified information actually is, and the difference between vaginal lubrication and discharge.

    The dialog and writing are frequently stilted and unrealistic, with frequent typos, missing words, etc. Here are some examples from the very beginning:

    "It's good to see again, sis."
    She once was blind, but now can see! Oh, wait...

    "I'm gay, [younger sister]. And I guess our dear old father decided to keep the fact that he knew that hidden."
    Why would their father out her to her younger sister? Why wouldn't she just tell her sister herself? Why is she upset with their father for not outing her? He did the right thing, it's not his place to out her.

    The older sister has never had a girlfriend in 5 years of living by herself? And yet she's asking her younger sister why she's never been in a relationship?

    Right after the older sister tells her younger sister that she's "100% gay" (in a really cringy way), her younger sister asks why she's never had a relationship, adding,
    "Boys must declare their love for you all the time."
    and
    "There aren't any men where you work?"
    Why is she pressing her sister about not dating men? Did she completely miss her sister telling her that she's "100% gay"?

    After her younger sister finishes taking a long bath, saying that she fell asleep in the tub, the older sister chides her with,
    "It's okay. But try not to make a habit of taking hour-long baths, okay? That can get quite expensive."
    No! That's not how baths work!

    These examples are all from the very first day, and it doesn't improve from there. On the second day we have gems like, "It might be time to simply learn to wear bra's," said by the younger sister with breasts the size of watermelons. What?

    The story, actions, and dialog frequently don't make sense and made me facepalm throughout.

    Have body image issues? Just walk around naked!

    Out of clean clothes? Just start the washing machine and go to bed, because if you leave your clothes in the washing machine overnight they'll be dry by morning!

    A high school teacher having sex with a student, that's fine - the school can handle that. But a dorm monitor doing it? That's a serious problem, because a dorm monitor is "the person in charge"!

    This dildo that I was planning on using on you that I just dropped on the floor on purpose? It's still good, it's still good! It's not like it'll have every single bit of dirt off the floor stuck to it. And all worry about it being covered in dirt will be forgotten after we switch from using it anally to vaginally. Nothing like an infection to make you forget all about that dirt!

    The characters are very unrealistic, and the writing frequently seems fixated on minute details - like who should change, and in which room, and where the discarded clothes go - that it's distracting and a little annoying. There's no choice or images for the changing of clothing, so it all feels unnecessary.

    And when we get to the big reveals about the plot threads that have been teased all along - the mysterious letters, the break in, why both sisters ran away, the missing mother, etc. - it all felt dumb and unsatisfying.

    Further, an incest relationship is a difficult one to get right. To be realistic it needs to be slow and gradual, with enough time for feelings to grow and realization to set in. The sisters need to have time to acknowledge their growing, forbidden feelings. This game does not do that.

    Here, the older sister just randomly starts picturing her sister naked on the very first day. After randomly visualizing her younger sister naked with no provocation, the older sister then starts gawking at her sister like a horny teenage boy who's never seen a woman in underwear before. And that's followed immediately by,
    "What if I really am attracted to my own sister?"
    and
    "I have to stop trying to deny my attraction to her."
    all within the span of 5 minutes. We go from, "It's good to see again, sis," to "I have to stop trying to deny my attraction to her," within the span of a day. By day 4, you're given the opportunity to

    It's all way too fast, and not at all believable.

    Let's say you don't care about story and writing, well...

    This game seems to often forget about the visual part of Visual Novel. It frequently misses opportunities for presenting appropriate images. For example, the younger sister looking for her pants under the couch seems like the perfect opportunity to show her bending over in her underwear... but there's no image for that. When the older sister imagines her sister naked, we just see an empty room. We're told the younger sister takes a bath, rather than being shown it. So often the characters are described in really sexy positions with no image to go along with it.

    Characters are often shown free-floating on top of the background instead of incorporated into the scene. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but it feels a bit disorienting and disconnected to see a character floating upright when they're described as lying down on the couch. Things improve as the game goes on, with characters being placed in the scene, but the floating over the background never goes away.

    The renders are mostly okay, though there are some issues, like changes in facial expressions darkening large sections of the background, and awkward poses, and the variety of poses is rather limited, and Lisa's face looks like she's a robot about to murder you, and Lexi sometimes looks like she's doing the robot dance, and you have to put up with the breasts...

    Oh boy, the breasts... The breasts aren't just large, they're enormous. They're so ridiculously large and disproportionate to the tiny torsos that they make me laugh every time I see them, and it just pulls me out of the game. And everyone here has large breasts, though thankfully not all are as ridiculously huge as the two main characters'.

    As for the sex scenes, they're okay at best. The static scenes have relatively few images, lighting is sometimes hit or miss, some of the positioning looks awkward, and it requires using your imagination as actions are often described rather than shown.

    There's some teasing with underwear and brief nudity over the first two game days, a brief and disappointing masturbation scene on day 3, some more brief nudity on day 4 and 5, a slightly better masturbation scene and a kissing scene on day 6, a dark and obscured masturbation scene on day 7 with your choice of vaginal or anal (which sets your preference for a future scene instead of giving you a choice), and on day 9 there's the first sex scene. The game culminates with an awkward (optional) threesome on day 14, and the possibility of the least sexy foursome ever on day 16. Everything about them is unrealistic - the threesome and foursome are suggested out of nowhere, and are initiated with the equivalent of, "We're all in the same room. Let's strip naked and fuck!"

    The only choices for the sex scenes is vaginal or anal for a masturbation scene, which also effects a future scene, and whether to have a threesome or foursome towards the end of the game - provided that you meet the required conditions.

    I was specifically looking for a lesbian VN and find that Blooming Love has many ingredients that could make it a good game. But in the end, you can tell that the developer doesn't have much experience in writing a convincing plot. There is a clear desire to develop a mysterious backstory with some drama, but there is simply no suspense.

    The dialogue is very plain and not well supported by renders, there are barely any facial expressions and no animations whatsoever. The sisters' motivations hardly go beyond romantic or sexual ambitions. There is no perspective on life, no shared hobbies or life goals, hardly any shared values or adventures. A lesbian - or any romance for that matter - should absolutely have those.

    I expected more substance, more passion beyond the purely sexual, more holistic love story or - depending where your focus lies - more lesbian kinks and exploration.

    Pros:
    + Nice story
    + Characters have some developed personality

    Cons:
    - No animations
    - Most actions and events are strongly text based with single static picture added to them
    - Not many sex scenes and fap content
    - Too big breats and character's faces kind of strange and weird.

    Overall it's nice game but more romantic story than actual sex game. On the other hand there are not many good female protag games so this one is worth playing.

    Awesome lesbian centric game here, its almost a kinetic novel, but i dont really mind it here, renders are alright, tits are weird, but i honestly didnt care much, i did not played this game to fap, outside of porn I like reading and its not a bad story, lesbian incest is so rare to be honest, even if this game was bad i would still probably play it, but its good, unless u are here to fap, then its a matter of tastes i guess, as long as u like the art.
    So, what we have here is a sister/sister love story with a bit of a slow build up(for a porn), cute and fluffy, some sex, and a happy end with no cheating or corruption, i wish the author did not stop making games, she had a talent, but i guess she expected a bit too much from indie game development and did not get enought money to sustain it, i wish her good luck anyway.

    From the start there is a clear view that the game is not really trying to tell the story and get you inmersed in it. In the beginign of the game when the sister arrives, the other girl keeps describing the situation, but while that happens you only see the couch. Later she enters the house and after a while she describes a "sad Smile", but the render we have is the same and since there are no charactter faces in the Dialogue box the game becomes clearly of the "Tell without showing" type.
    That type is bad for storytelling. Dialogue is interesting but those enormous chunks of dialogue would be awesome with more images backing them. Reading for 4 mnutes with the same image is awufull even if the writing is good with one important and remarkable exception:
    The confession. I guess the girl was somehow incapable of holding her feelings, but there was not a sign of reciprocity. Whats the point of a confession when you know the other person hasn't even throwon you a hint?
    I would have the ocnfession delayed until later, and make the other girl at least have some thoughts about her sister. There is nothing there in the moment of the confession.
    And her saying "yes,i wil be your girlfriend" comes out of nowhere, its not justified. I think it was better to allow her to discover a bit of her feelings and make the other girl confess once she had felt some conection.
    ITs the same problem once again. Her response is like "I just realiez my feelings but wouldnt act on them" (Tell but not show) I would prefer if the story showed me.
    My opinion.

    The images are good enough but having a girl whose breasts are bigger than her entire chest is weird. I dont get the need for this. I would understand if they looked good and had physics, bu that looks awful.
    Also many recycled sprites on top of backgrounds, also not good.
    The fact that the girl has like 2 face expressions, the same.

    With all these in mind, what finally kills the game are the sex scenes. They dont have many renders, shots or poses are sexy, no cinematography or camera work, its pretty basic and not sexy at all.

    FIRST THINGS FIRST

    While i gave a 3 star rating, i still highly recommend this game for those of you who like incest and lesbian games and having a female protagonist.

    Now, onto the review.
    Spoilers ahead, you've been warned.

    This is a simple game with a simple story.
    The renders are average. A bit grainy maybe.

    Models are mostly fine but with a few notable issues (more about this bellow)

    The story as mentioned before is simple, no major drama, nothing noteworthy. Its a simple romance between 2 sisters.

    There are no animations but i personally dont care for them so it had no impact on the score.
    The sex scenes were ... ok.

    There are a few issues with the game tho.

    First thing are the models. More specifically body proportions.
    I get it that some people like giant boobs. Thats fine but i dont, especially not this fkn big. Like, maybe not giant, gianormous more likely.
    This affects the MC and the sister, your LI. It just doesnt look right, they are just TOO BIG.

    One other thing about the models is the facial expressions in some scene. They are "acceptable" most of the time but sometimes they look really bad ...
    Especially when it comes to your sister. When she smiles, sometimes its just creepy.


    The next big thing for me is the story and writting.

    Its way too simple. There is nothing interesting happening most of the game. There is little to no drama.
    Sure there are few moments that should cause some alarm, like being evicted of their home or the mistery behind their mother dissapearing but neither of these things were properly capitalized upon.

    Idk how to explain this, it felt really bland and flat.

    The writting is also bland and ... flat and also quite direct, there is no finesse ...

    For example when the MC declares her love to her sister. Its literally goes like this, "wakes up one morning, goes to her sister and bam, sis, i love you".
    There is no attempt to ... romance, show your sister that you are in love by dropping hints, doing romantic stuff. Nope, just SIS IM IN LOVE WITH YOU!
    Just like that, out of the blue. At least thats how it felt to me.

    This is one example of many.

    Its not all bad tho, there were a few moments and scens where i went "awww, thats nice/cute" so ... not all bad.


    I still had fun tho. I maybe a bit biased tho, i really enjoy incest and having a female protagonist. The 2 of them combined is just fkn awesome for me so yeah..

    I liked the setting of the Game. It is a rare one among the Games here.
    At first I want to talk about the Look of the Game. It is quite simple, no animations, and only minimal changes in Outfit. So this is not even average compare to Games made lately. But this Game is from 2018 so it is ok for this age.
    The writing is nice, sometimes choices appear that didn´t have any impact or sense so far, and later on the choices will be quite rare.
    PRO:
    -Rare setting and nice writing
    - a "realistic" Story with a development
    - Lovely Charakters

    - Music
    CONS:
    - The chars look unpropotial. These Breast doesn´t fix the Bodys
    - Even with choices it feels more like a Book and not a Game
    - Much to read


    So overall I would rate the Game a 3-4 Star. 2 Stars for its rarity (Sisterly Incest, FMC Lesbian) 1 for the Story, and a half for Visuals. So overall 3.5 and I round it up to a 4.

    Summary: A romantic, well-written story, marred by some divisive design choices. If you want some wholesomeness in your story about sisterly incest and aren't relying on visuals to carry you through then this is where it's at.

    Choices aren't particularly impactful. The wild/conservative choices only make minor differences in the playthrough, with even the climactic decision only changing the epilogue a little. So that's a negative if you want a greatly branching story or to feel more control over the mc, but on the other hand it's nice not to have to replay the game twenty times in order to see everything. And realistically, you wouldn't be able to change your sister's personality over two weeks.

    Also realistically (but somewhat detrimentally story-wise), plot elements and characters are introduced that don't go anywhere. That happens all the time in the real world of course but there's a reason Checkhov's Gun is a storywriting principle. Here it gives the game a somewhat unfinished feel, as if the writer had intended these aspects to play a more important part but scaled back later. Which is fine, the game certainly doesn't feel bloated, but those older elements could have been tidied.

    In my summary I said some design choices were divisive- I'm mainly talking about the sister's bust sizes and the sex scene graphics. Now for some reason I wasn't expecting much sex in this game at all so I was quite happy with the sex scenes being some basic, static visuals and well written, tight prose. Your mileage will vary. I was much less happy with the ridiculous breasts- not just because I personally find them unappealing but they're also hard to animate in a realistic fashion so it turns the girl you spend half the game looking at into a bit of a mess.


    Having said all that, the central conceit of the game- two sisters falling in love- is beautifully realized and there's no nasty surprises along the way with cheating/misunderstandings or whatnot. The scenes with other girls are entirely up to your discretion (and tbh are a bit underwhelming).

    This was great. The developing relationship was well plotted out. It's definitely not the same old genre of these games, but a niche that one would hope be explored by more artists. It certainly could have used a few more scenes or a replay-ability option, but I will definitely jump on board for the next one.

    Another VN I forgot to review... Its rare to come across a story That takes your mind out of reality for a few hours, And in these times ...I needed it..

    This story follows the Female MC and her younger sister. In a well told and cute, falling in love Story. It also adds some choices that adds corruption or innocence.

    Very well Done ...I Enjoyed it.

    I absolutely loved the story for this game. The graphics were okay and the UI felt a little awkward but if you play this game play it for the story. There really isn't to many sex scenes. There is quite a bit of nudity but nothing super great.

    oysterkeeper

    This is a decent, sweet story about two sisters who end up living together.

    There is only 1 LI and not many choices that really matter. This isn't much of an issue though. This game was relaxing and it was nice seeing a sweet story without any sad plot twists. I will concede that the game is relatively dull because of that. There aren't many characters and the art is pretty but it feels like a lot of the scenes are reused. They pretty much always wear the same things, they are in a lot of the same rooms. It just kind of gets boring in that regard.

    So in some ways this game falls short. But other than those issues I feel like it is an easygoing feel good story that is worth a shot.

    I'm very much a fan of the premise and type of content involved in this story. I think there is a lot of potential and I always appreciate an actual completed game. However, I had a hard time getting past the two main character's rather unrealistic proportions. I think that detracted a lot from the overall game. Writing could have used some polish as well.

    VixnSkye

    I hate to write bad about something that has so much work in it, but I have to. I was recommended this game as a well written story with lesbian content, and while the latter is there, I wouldn't call it well-written at all.
    My first problem with the game was the typical basketball-tit thrope. To me it's one of the sure signs the creator don't want to take the story seriously. And I seriously wonder how can anyone find such jugs appealing... Okay, it might be only a problem on my part, but still.
    My second problem was, that it's very-VERY soap-operaish. There isn't an interesting story behind it, and honestly, the characters aren't that interesting either. There isn't any humor either. So basically it's just a soap opera about the not-so-interesting everyday life of two sisters with the lesbian-incest twist. I can understand if someone likes it, but it's really not my cup of tea.

    This review will contain spoilers.

    Well even though the story is not super original its prety well done.


    Im not a big fan of using sprites but the combination of using sprites and full renderd images are actualy well don.
    The main girl has large breast but heavy breast hang more then go forward. Breast do not defy gravity. Other then that the models look nice.

    It does not have much sex scenes and some are horribly done. Its not a bad thing to not have much sex scenes but when the happen they should stand out. The scene with the threesome has 0 expression in the foursome they do have expressions but the one stand out sex act is not shown. It's merely told about in the end. Also the way the threesome and foursome is started is realy bad and the start of the scenes have zero introduction. Its literaly welcom, hello. Lets get but naked and fuck. This i see as verry poor writing. I't would have been ease to invite her boss for dinner create a rommantic mood and ease into it.

    The ending was somewhat abrubt and didn't make much sense.

    the overal pacing is ok and the twist was alright. But i can only give it 3 stars due to the bad ending and horrible sex scenes.

    This would easily deserve 5 stars, if there wasn't that ending. An amazing story with great characters and great sex scenes. So much potential for a lot more, but sadly (and I don't no why) they decide to put that to this rushed ending. That's a shame ..

    This was beautiful. The ending felt just a bit too rushed, and there were a couple of questionable spots in the plot, but overall that game was really nice.
    Good graphics (even if I don't like big boobs, those felt strangely fitting), great character design (I would love to see more content on side characters though. Maybe someday the author would have a small game about Lexi and Roxanne/Fellicia), well polished story (alot better than some other games out there).

    I'm a sucker for romance. I don't know if it's my wifes influence or getting soft as I age but every now and then and I like to see a bit of romance.

    That's where this game came in. I saw it when it was pretty new and started reading. I couldn't help but like it. Every character in it is likeable in their own way especially the 2 main characters.

    You watch a romance bloom and grow until you get to the end and it's a really nice ending. It ties up everything quite nicely and leads off into what could possibly be a future sequel.

    It's endearing, it's heartwarming and it had people confuse egg cups with butt plugs, what more could you ask for.

    5/5

    One of the rare cases in which a developer finished a game while listening to feedback, updating frequently while quality did not drop at all, instead even improved.

    Story: 5/5
    Really enjoyed the female point of view.
    Characters felt real overall.
    Seriously most devs treat any female as upcoming bimbo in their games.
    Story was very lighthearted overall except of smaller or well bigger conflicts to make the story interesting.
    I also appreciate the fact it's a simple vanilla love story with sex scenes instead of another blackmail/hypnosis/ntr shitfest.

    Art: 4/5
    I admit i like my tits and asses big. Even smaller characters were easily d cups and i know other people will not like it.
    You could find some common 3d assets like a certain hairstyle covering the right eye, but overall the game had it's own unique style and quality is overall very good.
    Faces and posture might need some work still. Felt a bit too close to each other.

    No grind or stupid rng to disguise if a game being bare bones, but instead you got well told lesbian love story which can easily entertain you the next 1-3 hours with it's content.


    Really looking forward to the other titles of the developer.
