I was able to play through the entire game in about an hour, the only choices are ones that lead to either an increase in a particular character's opinion of you or a decrease. There is only one event that happens in the whole game. You can spend your time working gardening, but there's no point, since there is literally nothing to buy except for more seeds. I bought it on sale, and I am still hugely dissapointed

About This Game
Play as Natalie this time, and meet some of the characters of the first game like Clara, Susana, Steve, Trent, Jacob plus a "new entry": Ryan, who runs the general store of the town.
Natalie has barely survived her first semester in college, and all she wants is a break. However, her parents insist that she start acting like a responsible adult and get a job during her school's winter break.
In no time at all, Natalie's roommate sets her up with a job, and she's shipped off to the town of Fairbrook for a mundane job in a flower shop. What's a poor, tired student to do?
You can plan your weeks and who you spend time with using the weekly scheduler. Customize each week, spend time with who you like, or ignore everyone and work all day. Don't forget to take a break once in a while, or your health will suffer.
Take control of Natalie as she spends winter in Fairbrook raising flowers, making friends, and maybe even finding love!

Much like Summer in Fairbrook, I bought this game on sale, and yet still find it difficult to recommend to anyone, other than those firmly commited to the genre. And much like it's predecessor, Winter in Fairbrook leaves much to be desired. To say the game is bad would be like saying a small piece of chocolate cake is bad (assuming that you enjoy chocolate cake). It's still cake, it's still good, but it is grossly unsatisfying. The writing leaves much to be desired. Very much like Steve in the previous game, Natalie is a vapid, ignorant, immature, petulant, and lazy girl, who is instructed by her parents to find a job over the holidays, in the hopes of teaching her some discipline (They had already cancelled her cellphone due to bad grades, and are now threatening to take her new car away). Luckily, her room-mate just happens to be Clara from the previous game, and she sets Natalie up with Susana to work in the flower shop. Natalie must leave first thing in the morning to arrive in ...
My feelings on this game are kind of mixed. I feel like it could have been so much better but I still love what it has. I've played many visual novels and dating sims mainly otomes of varing qualities and backgrounds, and I always enjoyed them for something. I'm gonna go right off in saying that the biggest isses with this game is it's length and difficulty. It felt way too easy. -The gardening simulation was okay but besides for getting the special endings it didn't give me any insentive to keep going once I got my goal. It's supposed to one of the big parts of the game but ends up being optional. I think this could easily be improved by adding more things to buy or atleast need money for, a higher goal for special ends and some sort of noticable punishment for not working. -Getting the guys is another thing that felt too easy. Instead of getting hints or what not for the guys, you litterally get straight up told what stats you need to make them fall for you. It's not even su...
Good Sim game.. i swear though, i wanted to punch my character after a while, SHE'S SO RUDE! >_<
Flower Shop: Winter in Fairbrook has you spending more time planting flowers and planning your schedule than interacting with the other characters, which are all rather bland and shallow. If you want a farming game or a VN there are better options. If you want both at once...there are still better options.
This has been in my wishlist for at least 4 years and I was only able to purchase it now. I've always wanted to buy this game since I was a huge fan of its predecessor when I was younger, even though the farming system was quite bad. Imagine how happy I was when I finally saw a sequel that catered to female players. I was finally able to purchase it today. I immediately downloaded it and played the game as soon as I was free, only to be greatly disappointed by the quality of the game. Dear god is the female lead insufferable. She's rude. annoying, lazy and the works. She also acts like a hyperactive munchkin. I really tried to like it, nostalgia pushed me to do so. But the character just ruins the whole story. I'm usually easy to please, even easy games with bland stories entertain me. But this just reminds me of a fanfiction story written by a 14 year old who thinks being quirky is cute. I'll be refunding the game after I write this review.
What an awful character! The main character is a lazy, entitled jerk. I kind of wonder why someone would decide that this was the kind of character people would want to play. Anyway, after watching the main character be spoiled, irresponsible, and rude for a while, I decided that I just couldn't take it. My advice is to not waste your money. If you would like a somewhat lazy, disorganized MC who is pleasant to play, I recommend Hustle Cat.
This visual novel is a sequel of sorts to Summer in Fairbrook. Like that game, you end up in Fairbrook to... learn responsibility. This time, though, you are pursuing the boys. Trent, Jacob, and Steve return from the previous game (which I guess assumes Steve didn't win any of the girl's hearts), and a new guy, Ryan shows up (more or less to be the voice of reason in the game). Some of the features of the prior game have also been streamlined. There are nine endings. One for ending up alone, and two for each hero. A normal ending and a special ending. The only difference between the two is that one you have $400 in your wallet at the end of the game for the specials. It is a nice game for those who like the type (Winter Wolves doesn't disappoint).
Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. It just sucks. It's way too short, the characters are not developed enough and the protagonist is insufferable. If you're interested in an otome by Winter Wolves, better buy Nicole or Roommates.
For a game rated PG, it's great. The game is very quick and simple. All the characters are decent and if you know what you're doing, you can finish a character route within an hour or so. It's a good visual novel with lovely music and no noticable grammatical errors in the text. My only complaint will be that the drama was kept tamed and that nothing really surprised me. So I would recommend this game to anyone whio is new to the otome general or anyone who wants a very casual otome game.
