Psychological time loop life simulation game Fractured Blooms announced for PC
Tend your garden, cook your meals, and build your home.
Serenity Forge has announced Fractured Blooms, a psychological time loop life simulation game featuring art by Doki Doki Literature Club artist Satchely, and a fully voiced story led by Nichole Goodnight. It will be available for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“Fractured Blooms is the most personal game I’ve ever worked on,” said Serenity Forge founder and CEO, and Fractured Blooms game director Zhenghua Yang in a press release. “It’s inspired by real stories from my own family and the quiet suffering that often goes unseen in our world. We built this game to invite empathy, grace, and reflection. Our hope is that Fractured Blooms sparks real conversations that bring people closer together across different backgrounds, and across the walls we sometimes build around our hearts.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Inspired by a true story.
Restore your neglected house to its former glory by growing crops, cooking delicious meals, learning new recipes, and taking care of its inhabitants in this psychological life sim!
Play as Angie, a girl who finds herself stuck in a time loop and a world that is soft and still. Every loop is a strategic game of resource management and discovery. Plan each day carefully to manage your food and stamina. Only by mastering your routine and finding ways around challenging tasks can you dig deeper into the blessed reality around you.
Something will shift with each new day. You’ll begin to notice. You’ll begin to remember. You’ll begin to see. You’ll begin to feel. Your actions matter, your actions always matter, and the cycle always remembers.
Plant them, raise them, pick them, cleanse them…
Plant them, break them, stain them, save them…
Blood as thin as glass.
