Flower Shop: Summer In Fairbrook

I met four cute girls and got friendzoned by all of them. More realistic than I would've thought. 10/10

Grade: D The story is generic and forgettable even if it has its moments. The art is decent but uninspiring. The farming feels tacked on and is largely pointless (as you can only spend money on, gasp, more seeds). For genre of "dating sim" it does nothing new and features an un-relatable protagonist. I'm not sure how any girl or guy would find this story or its male lead compelling. I can't say I hate this game but it is a solid, "Meh."

I personally wouldn't recommend paying $15.00 dollars for this game. It's not that bad it's just short, not to mention the gardening gameplay isn't all that fun/ or even nessasary. Unless you can get it on sale for less than 5 dollars I wouldn't even bother.

IF only there was a thumb recommendation that shows the thumb aiming sideways in the only means to justify that me saying this game is fairly decent. It's not groundbreaking, it's not revolutionary, it's not bringing anything new to the 'visual novel'/'dating sim' genre (aside from the 'Harvest Moon' mechanics) but the game overall, is not BAD, per se. Far from it, it is a decent experience. You take control of a character (or need to say pervert) named Steve, as he recently broke up with his ex 'Jill' and you get sent to farm slavery by your dad throughout the course of the summer, while trying to score with new chicks around the block. And that's pretty much it. Fairly simple, not hard to follow and you will get to learn more about the new characters you interact with, depending on how much time you spend with a particular female to increase your many stats. Incresing your stats helps you to unlock this game's 9 endings...which I have spent 7 hours unlocking (if there are MORE en...

I really wanted to give this a good review but I couldn’t. The iPhone version is better but it stopped working after the iOS 4 update. I was very glad to see this show up on steam however I must say that the new mechanics almost ruined the entire game. The farming mechanic is useless and the rearranging of the way you spend your time broke the story in to parts where it just doesn’t feel as well made as the one made for the iPhone. The one advantage this one has over other dating Sims is that it doesn’t feel like it takes place in some kind of modified version of Japan and feels like an American story. It’s really sad how this came out on steam as the IOS version is in my opinion one of the best dating Sims I have played. My advice to the dev is if he still can restore the game to make it identical to the iOS version. This is also the 1st and only review I have ever done and plan on doing I felt this all had to be said.

I can't play this game because the protagonist, basically YOU, are such a terrible guy that it's not even enjoyable. A lot of girls play these games and quite frankly, a man like the main character is so unappealing that you can never get over his behaviors. The opening scene has him tell his aspiring doctor/politician GF that he is hoping to 'just bum around', meanwhile, he keeps kissing her and holding her hand, not reading her emotions, it feels like... Then she seems to miraculously not care, until he starts eyeballing girls in short shorts and tight pants. Ok, fine, a normal male looks at those things even while he is hugging his GF --I suppose (?), but then he can't turn away from them even when his GF is trying to have a conversation with him. It's like he's Abu the monkey in Aladdin, taking the gem. Really, he is that basic? Gosh, it's intolerable. The game goes on like this, with you in his Loser conciousness. He is too lazy to work, just wants to look at girls, doesn't want t...

Another meh VN. [spoiler]What’s the point on having a farm simulator together with a dating simulator if when you earn over $1,000 you’re basically stuck in Fairbrook and cannot date the girls? It simply RUINED the concept of the game![/spoiler] The art style was okay, nothing fantastic and nothing terrible. BGs were ok too, BGM was a bit annoying sometimes. The story was meh and its characters were also meh. This game is really short and all about status raising, and you barely have time to talk to the girls. And when you do talk to them, it all happens way too fast. I only recommend this game if you’re already used to Winter Wolves VNs and/or it’s on a good sale. 3/10.

I really enjoy the games Winter Wolves come out with. The music really adds to the atmosphere. Farming part wasn't really worth doing but it was a good distraction from the story from time to time to keep playing. Have seen 3 of the endings so far and like each one of them. Hope to see more games from them in the future

Story is quite shallow. The farming component not well integrated. You get all these money and don't really have anything to spend it on except for more seeds. Not very imaginative if you ask me. NIce drawings/art but I didn't find the characters that likeable, especially the main character you control. On the dating piece, you could be pursuing one girl in mind, but was generally nice to someone else then suddently they've hooked up with you. I didn't like it. Not enough depth to the story.

I really just don't like this game. Characters and Arcs are just really generic and forgetable. I hate the main character. There was just no emotional investment compared to other visual novels. Most choices for relationships are two options and woe betide you if you guess the wrong one. There aren't many clues as to what's what. I understand VNs are meant for multiple playthroughs, but I see no point or drive to continue. Not to mention, there's little feedback in game on the stats available, it took me half a playthrough to realise what was going on with those. The art is nice and I haven't played much of the game so I'm probably missing alot - but what I have played is enough for me. It's so bland. I like the concept of the farming, but the dating/farming aspects don't meld well together, and it's just left a bad taste in my mouth. There are better VN's out there for your money's worth, honestly.
