PQube have recently announced that they will publish the otome visual novel Him, The Smile & Bloom, onto the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC (via Steam) in 2025.
About: Step into a world of romance and flowers in this refreshingly mature Otome that charts the lives of four couples, centered around a local flower shop.
‘Him, the Smile & bloom’ is a unique exploration of the flourishing relationship between two adults and the highs and lows of their budding romance in a modern world.
From the initial spark of attraction to the struggles of maintaining a relationship and navigating life’s choppy waters – Him, the Smile & bloom, deftly weaves heart-warming – and heart-breaking – narrative threads for an genuinely distinct and memorable Otome experience!
Features:
Say it with flowers!: Him, the Smile & bloom charts four whirlwind romances – from the tender love of youth, to thorny, tumultuous and steamy. There are four distinct love matches to explore.
Couple up!: Rather than one protagonist with a selection of bachelors, Him, the Smile & bloom instead focuses on the relationship with four love interests – Wataru, Ginnosuke, Hokuto and Tenya.
Twelve distinct endings: Each couple has three endings to explore. However! Rather than traditional ‘good’ or ‘bad’ endings, each of the couple’s potential futures are poignant and offer something worthwhile to enjoy, regardless of the romantic (or not!) outcome.
Him, The Smile & Bloom will launch onto Nintendo Switch and Windows PC (via Steam) in 2025 with further release details to be announced at a later date. Further gameplay details can also be found on the official microsite.
