Investigate, solve mysteries, and maybe even fall in love in Blooming Suspicion — a witchy visual novel set in modern Seoul with a magical twist . Use your abilities as a techno-witch along with the help of your familiar, Sagwa , to look for clues, question suspects, and piece together the truth of what is really going on in an unassuming plant shop on the side streets of Seoul. But beware — in your quest for truth, you may uncover more than you bargained for. Can love bloom alongside suspicion? Customize Your Character Name your character and choose your character’s pronouns. Choose from a list of pronouns or add your own custom pronouns! Investigate Scenes Gather clues and examine the beautiful surroundings with point-and-click investigation scenes. Fall in Love and Make Friends Forge friendships or pursue something a bit more romantic with three unique characters. Romance in this game is optional, and players who do not desire a romantic connection may choose to follow equally satisfying friendship routes. Love Interests Suspects Yoonsu (he/him) Known for his magnetic aura, this water-witch captivates audiences and classmates alike. When Yoonsu is not performing his magic show at Han River Park, he uses his craft to care for the plant shop’s magical plants. With his easy smile and charming nature, it’s no wonder so many are drawn to him. Hayun (she/her) A plant-witch with an uncanny ability to bend plants to her will, Hayun is uniquely gifted in creating the terrariums that the plant shop has become known for. Often described by others as aloof or even cold, it may seem odd that the plants reach out to her as though they are reaching toward the warmth of sunlight. Haneul (they/them) A fellow techno-witch, Haneul’s knack for problem-solving and resolving disputes keeps the tech in the plant shop running smoothly. In spite of their standoffish demeanor and penchant for silence, the care they show in handling tech may hint at something softer beneath the surface. Side Characters Sagwa (it/its) — the main character's smart-phone and familiar Minji (she/her) — a family friend that's like an older sister the main character has known since childhood; though not a plant-witch herself, she operates a plant shop that employs several witches Plant (it/its) — a strange plant that may know more than it’s letting on Languages The game is in English. Turkish and Korean translations are in the works. Content Warnings This is a cozy mystery game and is not meant to be disturbing. There are no murders or graphic descriptions of violence.
