00:00Hey everyone, I'm Zee, founder and CEO of Serenity Forge, and director of Fractured Blooms.
00:09And I'm Maddie, creative lead on Fractured Blooms.
00:15On the surface, Fractured Blooms is a cozy farming and life sim.
00:19It's a game about smart planning, time loops, and managing your home.
00:24But beneath that surface, something is wrong.
00:27And the more you try to fix it, the more the truth seeps through.
00:31In this game, every choice matters.
00:34You play as Angie, a teenage girl who wakes up one day finding herself stuck in a time loop of farming, cooking, and doing household chores.
00:43Each loop, you start with limited stamina that you use for managing your garden.
00:49Every seed you plant, every time you water or harvest, it all drains stamina.
00:55Some are quick and easy. Others are more demanding, but give bigger payoffs.
01:01You'll need to plan what to plant, when, and how it fits into your next loop.
01:06So, every choice you make in the garden will cascade into the rest of the game.
01:12The food you harvest from your garden feeds directly into your cooking.
01:16And cooking in Fractured Blooms is all about creativity and efficiency.
01:22You have to think on your feet about how to use the ingredients available to you and, over time, unlock new recipes as you keep progressing in the game.
01:32Cook well, and you'll prepare meals that will give you more time and energy to tackle your chores.
01:38Cook poorly, and you'll be scrambling with fewer actions left.
01:42It's a test of timing, precision, and creativity, where crafting the right dish under pressure can make or break your next move.
01:53Before bed, you'll have to make sure to finish your chores by cleaning up the house.
01:58The faster you clean, the sooner you'll get to bed.
02:01And the earlier you sleep, the more stamina you'll recover for the next loop.
02:06So, between farming, cooking, and cleaning the house, it's an interconnected loop of resource management, time management, choosing priorities, and mastering your daily routine.
02:19Each cycle is a fresh chance to improve, whether that's optimizing your run, experimenting with new crops and recipes, or pushing deeper into the mystery around you.
02:31Because the more you loop, the more cracks start to show. Angie's story isn't what it seems. Memories bloom while reality fractures.
02:41This house isn't what you think it is, and the truth may just be hiding in plain sight.
02:48It's cozy, it's creepy, and it's deeply meaningful.
02:52Fractured Blooms rewards players who love to plan, optimize, and uncover emotional narratives through gameplay and experimentation.
03:02So if you're into farming sims, psychological horror, time loops, and games that slowly reveal their true colors, Fractured Blooms is for you.
