Flower Shop: Winter In Fairbrook

Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. It just sucks. It's way too short, the characters are not developed enough and the protagonist is insufferable. If you're interested in an otome by Winter Wolves, better buy Nicole or Roommates.

I have conflicting feelings about this game. On the one side, I totally read worse and there were cute moments in all of the routes. Graphics are cute, story is ok, most routes are cute (except Ryne - his was just meh) and it's really easy. But I hated the MC in the beginning (which I guess was the point) - she was an entitled, selfish, lazy, irresponsible brat. Story had some really cringe moments - I kept thinking that I would probably enjoy this game a lot more if I was 12 or something. Achievements are bugged and won't unlock unless you jump through some hoops. And for such a short (4 hours to 100%) and simple game the price is ridiculous. I only decided to buy it when it was on like 75% sale. So, maybe this game is good for some short brainless fun, but I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

[h1]Datingsim ohne Romanze ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆[/h1] Diesen seichten Visual Novel, mit rudimentärer Wirtschaft, möchte ich gar nicht Dating Simulator nennen. Bis auf die letzte Woche, sofern man genügend Punkte gesammelt hat, ist das [b]eher ein Freundschaftssimulator[/b]. Mit Blümchenpflege und -verkauf. Sich verabredet wird hier nicht. No dates. Allerdings hab ich auch nur ein Kerl - Ryan aus dem Saatgutladen - durchgespielt (da aber beide Enden), zusammen mit dem Ende ohne einen abzukriegen. Ich spiele fast nie Visual Novels aber ich erwarte schon gewisse Navigationsstandards wie das automatische Skippen von bekannten Dialogen. Das kann man hier sogar in den Einstellungen setzen aber passieren tut gar nichts. 👎🏻 Ich startete meinen Autoclicker, der eigentlich für Clicker-Games gedacht ist. Aber das schnelle Spammklicken von dem skippte wenigstens alles bis zur nächsten Entscheidung. Entscheidungen sind hier spärlich gesäht. Das macht das ganze noch zäher. Der Rest ist also die [b]Textgeschichte [/b]selbst und diese fand ich zu oberflächlich, gestreckt und langweilig. Die tieferen Gefühle kamen quasi am letzten Tag und das auf einmal überraschend schnell. Wirkte sehr holprig. Und der [b]Wirtschaftspart[/b], der eigentlich irrelevant ist außer für die Spezialenden bei denen man 400 $ Cash haben sollte, war pipi-einfach. Für die [b]Errungenschaften [/b]empfehl ich den entsprechenden Guide von der Community hier. Mit den Speicherpunkten ist es recht schnell getan. Grafisch, waren mir die Bilder zu statisch und nicht abwechslungsreich genug. Außer am Ende. Da ging's auf einmal. Top fand ich den Speicherscreen; simpel, funktionell und gut übersichtlich (Esc oder rechte Maustaste im Spiel). 👍🏻 Von der [b]Spielzeit [/b]war ich in 2h mit 3 Enden durch. --- [b]Alternativen[/b] Für nen Blümchenshopspiel empfehl ich eher: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/292200/Crazy_Plant_Shop/]Crazy Plant Shop[/url] und für ne schwülstige VN-Datingsim: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/359390/Amnesia_Memories/]Amnesia: Memories[/url]. Hat sogar ne tiefere Story. Oder: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/568770/Cinderella_Phenomenon__OtomeVisual_Novel/]Cinderella Phenomenon[/url], ist kostenlos und auch wenn ich es nicht durch habe war es viel emotionaler und interessanter (und nicht so schwülstig wie Amnesia).

The fact that all boys' stories are relatively interconnected and you need to interract with at least some of them to get the required stats for the one you are going for means that you will have seen all of their dialogues multiple times by the time you are through with all branches of the story. That is, unlike well-thought out otome, where you do not get to know other characters when you are going for one - or where their dialogue changes depending on which branch of the story you are on, here the entire dialogues remain the same save for the endings. This makes for a pretty boring experience, which is unfortunate, because this is a cute little game. I only recommend you get this if you find it at a great sales price, otherwise I do not see it as value for what you get. Once you have seen it once, it becomes not only repetitive, but it is also short (ignore my playtime, I idled a lot with this game).

I found all the characters really boring, including the main character is extremely shallow and lazy, not someone I wish to play as the protagonist. She is also rude and very selfish. I don't understand why she is so strange looking compared to some of the other females in the game which are pretty and feminine. And also the males look like 12 year old boys, act also like little boys and not men and don't feel comfortable trying to romance any of them due to this really young look and personality. Felt like this game was made for little kids and not young adults, also the mini games didn't get you anywhere, money made didn't provide anything either to do so felt like I was grinding for nothing and couldn't really get anywhere in the game.

Tags: Adventure - VN - Visual Novel Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: This is a genderswap reskin of Summer in fairbook meant for an Otome audience. Same repetitive gameplay loop and mechanics. Somewhat less likeable protagonist.

Felt boring and no lesbian relationships! I pretty much just went for the forever alone ending as I did not feel like courting any of the guys.

The first one was better imho

ノベルにほんの少しシミュレーションが入った乙女ゲー。 週の初めには１週間の予定を立てて主人公のステータスを伸ばしていくパート、１日の初めには花を育ててお金を稼ぐパートが挿入されるけれど、どちらもとてもシンプルで理解しやすい。ただしキャラクターの攻略条件はわかりづらいので、自力でキャラクターEDを見ようとするとそうとう難しいはず。私はサッパリわからずにガイドを見たけど、それでも納得できませんでした……。制作者はあの条件にプレイヤーが自力で気づけると思ったんだろうか？ 既読スキップ、イベント回想（EDのみ）あり。 CGやBGMの鑑賞モードはなし。 [b]◆GOOD[/b] ・乙女ゲーではあんまり見かけないタイプの絵柄だけど、立ち絵やイベントCGは丁寧に描かれていて可愛い。 ・マウスホイールにはバックログの代わりに一つ前のメッセージに戻る機能が割り当てられていて、これがなかなか便利。メッセージどころか選択肢もシミュレーションパートも巻き戻すことができるので、ミスをしてしまったときのリトライが楽だった。 [b]◆BAD[/b] ・シナリオの分量は少なめで内容もあまり面白いとは思えなかった。攻略対象とのイベントは説教や人生相談みたいなのが多め。こういうイベントも必要だというのはわかるけど、ほとんどのイベントがこんな調子だと流石にきつい……。 ・主人公の性格があまり好きになれなかった。やたら攻略対象に上から目線で説教をしたがるけど、主人公自身もあまり立派な人間には見えないのですごくモヤモヤした。 ・特殊な攻略条件のために２周目以降がおかしなことになる。[spoiler] 股掛けが必須。なので、目的のキャラクターのEDを見るために共通ルートでは別のキャラクターのシナリオを読まなくてはいけないというチグハグな状況になってしまう。（目的のキャラクターの共通ルートでのシナリオは既読スキップでほぼ飛ぶ） [/spoiler]

Chibi! Sooooo cute! While their are oddities in the actual gameplay, some kinda money thing or whatever, it didn't distract from the story and the adorable moments found within. I'm usually pretty picky about MC, but she wasn't so bad either. Well, you at least get used to her eventually. The only con I could see, and could be a pretty big one if the cuteness doesn't suck you in, was not a lot of real interaction with the romanceable characters. You work for their stats, which is fine, but you get limited amounts of time to "get to know" so to speak the person you are pursuing. It goes so quick that you don't even know why you are really liking them. That being said, each character is so very adorable! and even without in depth character arcs, each so very likable... So I'd recomend this game for a quick, easy to play, super cute game with pretty artwork. Looking for depth and perspective with a touch of social confines or personal uncertainly that leads to a heart-rending moment of epiphany and love...then watch when Harry met sally.
