Blooming Nightshade, the lighthearted romance visual novel, is now available to download! This game began as a Yuri Game Jam 2017 entry, and is now on version 9. This Steam edition also adds new Steam achievements to the game.
The story follows Himeka Uchida, a student at Solana Academy. By spending time with her friends and classmates, she gets to know them better, and may also find love in the process.
Despite the open development process on itch.io, some bugs may have slipped into the final version. If you find any, be sure to let me know on the forum here or on the itch.io page so I can look into fixing them.
At any rate, I hope people enjoy the game!
