Flowerglade
by Lavastone
Flowerglade is a cosy, wholesome VN/Sandbox set in a lush fantasy forest, where the player is tasked with unlocking the dormant desires of four forest spirits that inhabit it. It is ongoing, made by a small team of experienced artists, writers, and developers that lean more into sandbox elements than typical visual novels, providing you with the means to explore desires at your pace. Experience the start of a beautiful journey with the Blossoms: Sunflower, Rose, Juniper and Snapdragon, and watch their dormant sexuality bloom!

v0.3.01
Of course we have a new story chapter as you might expect.
We also introduced a cooking minigame and mechanics around that. Rose and Sunflower have new outfits too!
Around 1400 new lines of dialogue have been added to a new system, whereby your actions are recognised by the Blossoms. They will comment on things such as the requests you make the most, the time of day, where you are, how they feel about you or another Blossom, and many many more topics.
v0.2
69 new CGs
in version 0.2 and over
2800 new lines of dialogue
- it's a big update.
The new chapter will be available in a free version on
itch.io
, and the full version via Patreon for the Visitor tier and upwards.
I'll also be introducing a new high-end tier from May 17th:
"
Elder Guardian
" for those who want to contribute even more.
A number of new gameplay systems are implemented in v0.2, such as the bouquet crafting.
Create beautiful bouquets to give from flowers picked in the Glade and beyond - these flowers can be sacrificed at the shrine for different effects or simply given to the girls as tokens of appreciation, and help Rose fill up her horticulture book.
The request system has been overhauled with a new success bar mechanic, displaying how the character tags affect the request you're making, along with other factors.
Discover Rose's secret library and gain permanent upgrades from reading a number of available books.
Patrons will now have their names in the Ledger - a mysterious book in the library that provides daily bonuses and rewards to everyone else playing the full version - along with the ability to acquire "Affinity Pearls."
Affinity Pearls are a rare gem currency to spend on powerful, permanent changes and boosts to your favourite tags - given to you by the community and the patrons themselves!
There are plans to add more uses for these rare pearls as we progress; more powerful upgrades to come!
Along with this, we have the Voyeur and Exhibitionism side quest. This was voted on by patrons and won by a mile.
It's a host of new scenes, leading to a new mechanic that acts as a gallery for all the non-request artwork in the game.
Want to see Juniper's introduction image a second time? Or maybe the CGs from the one-off scenes of Sunflower bathing? This is how you do it.
We have Flick's shop too. Currently he sells flowers for bouquet crafting, but his stock will expand as new updates drop. Plenty planned here!
All this along with a whole new chapter that sees you exploring the swamps of Flowerglade and deep mines and discovering Rose's secret garden.
v.0.1.3375
Play around with the new bouquet crafting system. Collect flowers out in the world and either give them, sacrifice them, or craft a bouquet from them. Also includes the new tag system, Rose's Book of Horticulture and new polish and bug fixes. Let us know what you think and make use of the bug reports channel in the discord if you find anything that doesn't look right.
I'll be fixing anything major immediately, so keep an eye out for future builds in the coming days and weeks.
v0.1.02
Initial Release
Really fun game, easy to play and lots of story! I enjoy how it takes a bit of time to really earn all options rather than just speeding through and be doing done in an hour. Wish I could find more games like this!
I don't usually do reviews so bare with my potentially subpar ability in making them. Current content is pretty bare, although that is to be expected since its a brand new game and demo. Expect an hour or less content wise currently. Art looks pretty nice and unique. Girls look good as they should be in these types of games. The background in some of the areas is pleasing to the eye, such as the initial loading screen, and the mountains. The location pin icon is sometimes hard to immediately spot since it sometimes blends in with the background. This might just be an issue with me and my feeble mind though. Chibis are cute Music is pretty mellow, and didn't make me want to mute it as I usually do in games. The popping noises when you talk to, or make a girl happy is satisfying to my ears. Grammar/Readability is good, no complaints from me. Some of the interactions with the girls during the intro got a cackle out of me. (Sunflower best girl) Misc: I really like being able to change the girls poses (front view, back view) The currency system which is the passion and blossom is nicely named. I feel that the rate of blossoms is a bit high, but that's with current knowledge of the game and unlockables with said currency. The girls greeting/talking to you in the main menu is a nice touch aswell. Overall I see potential in the game, Thus ill give it a 4/5 for now. My rating might change depending on how well the future updates are. Anyways... Keep up the good work Devs. Im looking forward to what you will add.
