About This Game The Flower Shop is a dating and farming simulation game.Steve's life has just taken a downward turn. His grades from his first semester in college are dismal, his relationship with his girlfriend is rocky at best, and now his dad is shipping him off to some farm for the summer so that he can "build character."What's a poor, lazy, college kid to do?Take control of Steve as he spends a summer in Fairbook, working on the farm, making new friends, and maintaining old relationships.You can raise and sell your own crops, but you'll have to work hard to keep your land well watered and free of weeds and insects, or your crops will fail. Stop by the flower shop to buy more seeds, but choose wisely. Some plants take longer to mature, and some crops will get you a better return at the market.There are four girls who you can spend time with. Maintain a good relationship with them by spending time with them and learning about their hopes and dreams. You can impress them by improving your skills, but if you only focus on one thing, they won't be interested. Build a strong enough friendship, and it might even bloom into romance.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.The game features nine different endings that change based on your decisions throughout the game. Will Steve finally learn to be responsible? A good farmer, even? Will he make up with his girlfriend, find a new romance, or end up alone?It's all in your hands.FEATURESMix between dating sim with farming sim gameplayRaise your crops and sell them at the marketPlan how you spend your time with the weekly schedulerRelationship system: each character has a relationship value that affects gameplayHigh replayability: normal and special ending for a total of 9 different endings! 7aa9394dea Title: Flower Shop: Summer In FairbrookGenre: Casual, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:Winter WolvesPublisher:Winter WolvesRelease Date: 28 Jan, 2010 Flower Shop: Summer In Fairbrook Activation Code [torrent Full] Another meh VN. What\u2019s the point on having a farm simulator together with a dating simulator if when you earn over $1,000 you\u2019re basically stuck in Fairbrook and cannot date the girls? It simply RUINED the concept of the game!The art style was okay, nothing fantastic and nothing terrible. BGs were ok too, BGM was a bit annoying sometimes. The story was meh and its characters were also meh. This game is really short and all about status raising, and you barely have time to talk to the girls. And when you do talk to them, it all happens way too fast. I only recommend this game if you\u2019re already used to Winter Wolves VNs and\/or it\u2019s on a good sale.3\/10.. I really just don't like this game.Characters and Arcs are just really generic and forgetable. I hate the main character. There was just no emotional investment compared to other visual novels. Most choices for relationships are two options and woe betide you if you guess the wrong one. There aren't many clues as to what's what. I understand VNs are meant for multiple playthroughs, but I see no point or drive to continue. Not to mention, there's little feedback in game on the stats available, it took me half a playthrough to realise what was going on with those.The art is nice and I haven't played much of the game so I'm probably missing alot - but what I have played is enough for me. It's so bland. I like the concept of the farming, but the dating\/farming aspects don't meld well together, and it's just left a bad taste in my mouth.There are better VN's out there for your money's worth, honestly.. IF only there was a thumb recommendation that shows the thumb aiming sideways in the only means to justify that me saying this game is fairly decent.It's not groundbreaking, it's not revolutionary, it's not bringing anything new to the 'visual novel'\/'dating sim' genre (aside from the 'Harvest Moon' mechanics) but the game overall, is not BAD, per se. Far from it, it is a decent experience.You take control of a character (or need to say pervert) named Steve, as he recently broke up with his ex 'Jill' and you get sent to farm slavery by your dad throughout the course of the summer, while trying to score with new chicks around the block. And that's pretty much it. Fairly simple, not hard to follow and you will get to learn more about the new characters you interact with, depending on how much time you spend with a particular female to increase your many stats. Incresing your stats helps you to unlock this game's 9 endings...which I have spent 7 hours unlocking (if there are MORE endings then 9, please let me know). These endings are not anything special besides the fact of helping yourself to unlock an achievement and to see how that ending alters the original ending of the game. Phew, I managed not to give away spoilers.The art is decent, the soundtrack is decent, the story, in itself, is decent, the whole game is decent. While it may not be a worthwhile game to spend your money on, it's one of those dating sims that is only enjoyable first time through and a chore the other 9 playthroughs after that.Funny enough, there is a voice volume slider, and yet, there's no voice acting in this game.. With art that looks like it belongs in a 'worst of deviantart' tumblr, and such stunning romance candidates as rabid anti-traditional medicine hippie princess, ex-girlfriend who sounds like a nagging mother, cranky girl who is only interested in you because you're from out of town, and hot older librarian, Summer in Fairbrook is totally worth it if Steam discounts it to under a dollar. Then you can date the one good candidate, if you can stomach the atrocious weekly scheduling and annoying protagonist, that is. On the bright side, the music is good.But, seriously. There's already a romance farming sim series: it's called Harvest Moon, and the love options and time control are far, far superior.. I can't play this game because the protagonist, basically YOU, are such a terrible guy that it's not even enjoyable. A lot of girls play these games and quite frankly, a man like the main character is so unappealing that you can never get over his behaviors. The opening scene has him tell his aspiring doctor\/politician GF that he is hoping to 'just bum around', meanwhile, he keeps kissing her and holding her hand, not reading her emotions, it feels like... Then she seems to miraculously not care, until he starts eyeballing girls in short shorts and tight pants. Ok, fine, a normal male looks at those things even while he is hugging his GF --I suppose (?), but then he can't turn away from them even when his GF is trying to have a conversation with him. It's like he's Abu the monkey in Aladdin, taking the gem. Really, he is that basic? Gosh, it's intolerable. The game goes on like this, with you in his Loser conciousness. He is too lazy to work, just wants to look at girls, doesn't want to get out of bed, has a bad attitude. Has an annoying goofy attitude that gets on my nerves. None of the girls in the game seem to really notice this. They seem to just react like it's a just a miscommunication. No, girls, the protagonist is just not interesting. So why would you want to play a game with a protagnist that is just not fun or interesting?I might play it just because I paid for it and I know it's short, just to see how the farming goes. But I won't really enjoy the story or the romances. In fact, I'll probably resent the game even more than I already do.. Flower Shop: Summer in Fairbrook is a Visual Novel with an more or less properly integrated farming minigame (that actually does no\/barely impact to the game... sadly) To begin: IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE! You should buy it on sale or in bundle or on other sites, 15\u20ac is simply too much, the game itself is a solid novel.Story: You play Steve, college Boy who looks after cute girls - thats how his girlfriend Jill gets\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665off from him and brakes up. To all unfairness his Father sends him to his uncle to work as a Farmer for him as Steve lacks character and needs to be taught the hard way. There he meets the 2 girls Clara and Susana as well as the women Marian. He can get a love relationship with them, or phone his ex Jill and try to reunite with her.Each run takes about 45-60 minutes to complete if you rush (and with skip function after 1st run) the first one took ~80 minutes.Every day you start with the farming game, then you can choose what you want to do, either farm more (as said it does no impact to the game ... : ( ), go walking with Clara, visit the Flowershop to buy seeds and visit Susana, visit the Library to read books and visit Marian, phoning Jill or sleeping to cure fatigue.Pro:- Story, although not the best, you actually can enjoy and get to like the story once you played a bit of it.- Farm minigame (although kinda tirering after a while)- Many choices- Characters have a nice personality- Music- Background- Trading cards- AchievementsCon: (somehow steam doesnt accept the formation in the end... -.-)- Price... 15\u20ac is definetly over the top, this might be worth 5\u20ac, maximum of 7\u20ac, so buy only on sale or on bundle sites- More or less unpolished characterdesign, still not as bad as in the Heileen series. (Susana actually looks buitiful)- Repeatable dialogues when you visit the girls without having an event triggered- Farming minigame has no impact to the plot, not even an achievement, you more or less can skip it all day [only impact it has: you get special ending if you have ~500$.. that is earned in the 1st 2 weeks alone, after u can skip it all day) - Often scenes without sound at all- Not 100% appropiate for small children (might be okay for 14+? All how the parents may see it themselves) as the Marian route has a wet shirt szene where you can see her bra. Overprotective adults should therefore not let their smaller kids play that route ^^. This is stated as con only for parents buying this for their smaller children. It is not that of an "extreme" scene.Hard for me to rate and not to misrate it...either 6\/10 or 7\/10 so ill stick with 6.5\/10 for nowI enjoyed it, but i would never pay 15 \u20ac for it, bought it in a bundle or on sale, i dont remember anymore its been a while hanging untouched in my steamlogg.. I like this game. Steve is a typical air-head teenager, and i feel bad for Jill when i was getting her achievement, by end up back dating a guy like him. But the farm system... I loved it! loved became rich with the farm, I loved the Steve relationship with his grandfather, the way his personality evolves throughout the game... So, yeah, for me it worth playing.. Story Spoilers:Let me start this review by just saying that I guess I had different expectations for it. With that said, I think this game could use a lot of work if it were concerned with my thoughts\/complaints on it. So to summarize what this game is about; You are a stereotypical slacker with low ambitions and a bit disrespectful. Your dad doesn't exactly get along with you, but figures your attitude needs changing so he drives you up to your older uncle's farm where you're expected to raise vegetables on a small plot of land. You get to drive into town within your first week of being there, where you'll meet 3\/4 of the young women whom you can get to know better. Your uncle decides to go back to his normal schedule and lets you do with your week as you will. This leads you to several options for each day of the week; work more, visit the flower shop (Susana is here), visit the Library (Marian the Librarian is here), go for a jog (with Clara), stay at home (and talk to your ex-girlfriend Jillian), and relax. Choosing any of the options with the women will boost the tied "stat" that goes with it. These stats will reflect what you may or may not see when visiting the women. Your days start with working in the plot of land you're given. You have to clear out squares filled with weeds to actually start planting anything. Plants take a few or several days to grow, depending on if you use fertilizer or not. Once they are grown you can sell it. The choices you have at the plot are; clear out weeds, plant something, using fertilizer, water plants, and clean up a plant. Any of these choices will take up 1 hour of your time, I think you have until noon to get things done in the morning before you go to whatever you chose to do that day. If you go to the flower shop you can choose to buy more seedlings to plant in your garden with the money you've gained from selling your full-grown plants (or not full-grown if you want to sell those early for some reason, I think that is an option, but I never chose to do that). Okay, so I think I explained the garden part fairly thoroughly, let me just explain what I think was done wrong with it and why it's one of the complaints I have about the game. You grow stuff, you sell stuff, and you buy more seeds to grow and sell more stuff. You get money by doing this, and as far as I know that money had no impact on any other part of the game whatsoever. This gardening plot mechanic seemed like such wasted potential, and was a big disappointment to see. Plus the money you made from selling those vegetables would be less than you'd get working a part time job at minimum wage for the same amount of hours. Fertilizer cost $2, and sped up the growing process by 1 day, but takes away from your end profit and takes time to use.
