Floret Bond Demo

Since there are countless types of magic used in fantasy stories, it’s difficult to keep track of what makes sense and what doesn’t in a particular lore or universe. Hence, while some wizards need scrolls or runes in order to cast their spells, others just channel various forces and even control the elements through sheer will. Regardless of how they cast their spells, every wizard must also know how to remove or neutralize harmful magic when they stumble across it.

Floret Bond is a colorful adventure game with RPG and visual novel elements, as well as a bit of sim dating in there for good measure. The whole game revolves around the idea of magic and how to dispel it when things go wrong, although relationships are also very important. In short, there’s a lot to love about Floret Bond, especially if you don’t have anything against human-animal hybrids.

The story puts you in the role of a girl by the name of Peony, although you are free to change her name to whatever you want at the beginning. She is one of the best magic neutralizers in the land, which is why everyone comes to her when they mess with the wrong spells and end up impaired in some way. In the case of this demo, you have to deal with a centaur and his weird bird-looking friend.

As mentioned before, there’s more to Floret Bond than what you may be accustomed to from all the other visual novels out there, including a crafting component. Thus, sometimes you are free to go out in the wild and gather special ingredients required for your concoctions. Romance is also a possibility if you play your cards right, and the full game promises multiple male partners to choose from.

The graphics are pretty impressive as well, especially since they are a tad different than what you can find in other visual novels. The backgrounds seem to be done using watercolor, so they definitely look dreamy, while the characters are much sharper and smoother. The interface is split in two as well, so you do not have text over the artwork, which is a neat touch.

All things considered, it’s nice to see something different in the genre for a change, and Floret Bond does exactly that. Thus, we can only hope that the full version is going to bring more content and multiple routes for the main character.
