About This Game

Deathwish Bloom is a hand-drawn romance adventure set in a beautiful and nostalgic post-apocalyptic world.

You lied, and now they trust you. Play as Sky, a female scientist, forced to manipulate, romance, or destroy people closest to you in your obsession to recreate a lost medicine. 

  • A first-person female protagonist POV: this is a woman's world.

  • Heart matters: Enjoy the euphoria and the heartbreak of a hushed slow burn enemies-to-lovers (Cody) or friends-to-lovers (Alice) romance, or grow the warmth of platonic relationships. Be careful who you flirt with, not everyone has your survival at heart.

  • A branching story with multiple endings: will your story be that of tenderness and redemption, or will you give in to the darkness born in your heart on the day the Earth split in half? With 5 children of the apocalypse involved, each with their own obsessive pursuit, who will survive your choices?

  • A complex hidden relationship system: every conversation affects your experience far beyond "they like/dislike you". Choose who you want to be at every interaction. Shock or delight your friends, enemies, lovers - and even your pet! - when veering off your usual behaviour. 

  • Experimental foods: Science City needs guinea pigs for their experimental foods. Start your work day right by getting their "special" that affects your faculties. Daily grind hits different when you can't tell a lie, see the world in pink or confuse everyone for your crush as a side effect. 

  • Investigate the new order of the soft post-apocalyptic setting: 20 years ago the Earth got rearranged by earthquakes. The planet separated into a handful of safe zones and the barely inhabited quake-ridden land of questionable ecological state. It's not wise to leave the safety of the Science City but you will.

  • Painstaking 100% human art only: fine colour pencil look, hand-drawn by an acclaimed artist Irina Kuksova (stats: 50 000–100 000 strokes per background/sprite). 

  • Original Soundtrack: 25+ tracks commissioned exclusively for Deathwish Bloom.
