Flowers -Le volume sur Printemps- Demo

Anime is a pretty big thing nowadays, especially since it got out to the western world and found millions of new fans. However, the genre is quite big and full of weird stuff as well, and there are plenty of niches dedicated to those who enjoy them. Hence, even if you watched one anime and found it great, you need to be prepared for something completely different in the next one.

Flowers -Le volume sur Printemps- is a colorful visual novel that presents the story of a shy girl trying to make friends at her new school, while also navigating all sorts of social obstacles. In terms of gameplay, the game features a bit of interaction as well, in the sense that you can choose to say or do one thing instead of the other. However, such events are quite rare, unfortunately.

The story is mighty interesting, on the other hand, at least from certain aspects. Suoh Shirahane is the main character, and she decides to go to a new school. Saint Angraecum Academy is the name of the said school, and it just happens to be in the middle of a forest. Not only that, but the students that go here are pretty weird as well, and there are plenty of occult stuff happening too.

Since everyone is rather secretive at school, the game features a bit of an investigative component as well, although you should expect too much either. In essence, there are a few mysteries you can figure out if you pay enough attention along the way. On top of that, some characters can become your friends if you say the right things and get close to them over the course of the story.

As always, the artwork is more than decent, especially when it comes to the backgrounds and the characters. Granted, you need to be a fan of anime in order to appreciate the style, but even if you are not, you can certainly enjoy the scenery and the warm colors. On top of that, there’s a soothing soundtrack playing in the background, which keeps you company throughout the story.

In the end, Flowers -Le volume sur Printemps- is not perfect, unfortunately, because it suffers from quite a few grammar mistakes and typos. Hence, you need to be prepared to deal with that as well, especially if you are familiar with the original game in Japanese.
