Bloomtown: A Different Story has officially launched its 1.0 version on mobile devices. This social narrative JRPG combines turn-based combat with monster taming mechanics, set against a nostalgic 1960s Americana backdrop with JRPG-style pixel art.
Slice-of-Life Exploration Meets Mystery
Bloomtown masterfully blends wholesome small-town aesthetics with unsettling psychological horror. Set in the early 1960s, players follow siblings Emily and Chester as they arrive in Bloomtown for an apparently idyllic summer at their grandfather's home.
Initially charming, Bloomtown soon reveals its darker secrets as local children mysteriously disappear and nightmare visions blur the line between dreams and reality.
Behind its picturesque facade of cinemas, parks, and mom-and-pop stores lies the Underside - a twisted mirror world where human fears manifest as grotesque demons. The atmospheric setting recalls Stranger Things' nostalgic horror.
As Emily, players investigate the disappearances while forming bonds with local allies to confront the supernatural threats lurking beneath Bloomtown's wholesome surface.
Tactical Turn-Based Combat System
The game features strategic turn-based battles emphasizing team dynamics, pitting players against colossal dungeon bosses and monstrous manifestations from the Underside.
A unique demon-summoning system allows capturing weakened enemies to expand your roster, complemented by fusion mechanics that enable creative team customization.
Between combat and investigation sequences, players can enjoy slice-of-life activities including: training at the gym, working part-time jobs, cultivating friendships, or relaxing in gardens.
