Patch NotesOfficial
Partial Voice Acting Update
This update brings partial voice acting to Bloom! The voice actors all did such a wonderful job bringing life into these characters, and I had a lot of fun listening to their takes on everyone ❤️Voice acted scenes are marked with a banner in the top right corner of the screen so keep an eye out for those if you want to hear Astra and the gang speak! Additionally, two new after stories have also been added to the game. Both of them will take place after their respective good endings, just like before. For those of you who are Qwynn or Cal fans don't worry, I'm working on some new stories for them as well!Read full article on Community Announcements (LightRift)Patch NotesOfficial
Update notes for 5/12/16
Hello! I was notified about a bug when trying to run the game through Steam on Mac. I'm working on troubleshooting the issue now and will hopefully have a fix for it soon. Other than that, I fixed a small typo in the beginning that would have made Astra and Sylphia's handshake impossible. Now they share a proper handshake! Thank you all for the support so far~Read full article on Community Announcements (LightRift)Patch NotesOfficial
Bloom Version 1.3
The final background for the game was added! Remaining CGs are coming soon.Read full article on Community Announcements (LightRift)AnnouncementsOfficial
