In Full Bloom

Rumor has it that a small village in the mountains holds a mysterious panacea, the cure to all ailments. Eager to be the first to find it, you make your way to the Petalridge at the height of spring. 

The one condition? Help us revitalize the town, and the panacea is yours.

Explore the nooks and crannies of Petalridge, fall in love with the villagers, and maybe even settle down once and for all. But whatever you do, just remember; only you can breathe life back into Petalridge.

This game was created in 10 days for the Velox Fabula 3 game jam:

• Walk through the paths within Petalridge! In Full Bloom is a fully completed 2D side-scrolling visual novel with a twisting narrative spanning over 37,000 words.
• Experience life in a small town as one of three professions that affects the narration and dialogue. Will you be a doctor, an adventurer, or a merchant?
• Interact with four romance candidates, each with their own animated sprite and route. Pursue the withdrawn archivist, befriend the excitable blacksmith, charm the sly tavern owner, or dazzle the curious farmer.
• Play through five custom mini-games as you befriend villagers and settle into town. Those presents won't buy themselves!
• Uncover the truth behind Petalridge's mysterious panacea. What is it? Where is it? And who exactly is the one trying to keep you from it?

NOTE: Emrys and Ashe are the intended full-length routes. Rowena and Harper have completed routes, though on the shorter side.
