Where the Two Flowers Meet

This game actually made me cry so much I wanna play it for the first time again so bad and it hasnt even been 24 hours since I finished it. Spent all day playing it and I still want to play it more. Been thinking about it nonstop since i finished it. This game deserves a bigger fandom sm. Thinking of buying the game book soon tysm for releasing this.

Ever since I played Sweetest Valentine I started to follow u and became one of my fav devs!! I finally had time to finish this game (hehe definitely did not stayed up late ;p) ONE OF THE GAMES THAT MADE ME CRY ARGHHH that final ending 4 broo ToT, definitely my fav ending. There soo many endings and route too I REALLY ENJOYED THIS GAME SO TYSM FOR MAKING IT AAA.  I love the story and the characters?!? Like omgg I'll say it again your art is beautiful and I really really love your artstyle. AND IM SO GLAD THERES A GALLERY NOW YAYYY. ueueue I'm gonna have a brainrot of this game for weeks looking forward to moree~! hihiii

This game changed my biological structure. my whole being. I absolutely love it, the angst, the story, the characters, and the endings (ESP the bad endings). so so good. Great game >v<

I'd like to play the game, but when I try to launch it it says that 'save data' was detected and to only load the game from a trusted source, after which it says it has aborted the start up. 

Anything I can do? It says to delete the supposed save data, but I've never played the game before so no clue how it can have save data. 

I've not seen a file with anything resembling that name either. I tried ununstalling an reinstalling a few times, but that didn't seem to do anything either? Any ideas or tips?

not usually a fan of stories centering men but this is 100% smth special and worth checking, finding out what happened between the past scenes and the present scenes is a joy, especially when you use the bad endings' conclusions to piece together the goals of certain characters, as they feel purposefully written to take you closer to the truth, even if it's done in a cryptic way.

spoilers below this line. the game is best played with minimal knowledge!!

the true endings were all pretty great, at some point the game splits into two 'paths', the C endings were all generally quite macabre in different ways, out of them all (including bad endings) the aran ending is my favorite, since it portrays the utter hopelessness of the project for everyone involved (save for frida. she's always winning lol), after the events of the game caleb is incredibly traumatized and seemingly doesnt seem happy even with a successfully recreated aran, 07 had absolutely no means of escape and even if he did, he'd never be able to stop the project successfully and iirc julia's fate is completely unknown. 06 also isnt particularly happy considering he's stuck with an insanely abusive caleb. it's an inherently unsatisfying ending despite it having the least amount of fatalities (afaik only 07 and 05 die) because the project was never meant to improve people's lives, and with caleb never coming to grips with that fact, he would never find true happiness.

out of the S endings, of course ending 1 is the happiest of them all, with seven and caleb both coming out of the project with minimal damage, and their relationship being born sturdy and unshakeable after coming out of the hell that was the hospital. but i honestly really really love ending 2. seven is still happy as he has roy's and caleb's posthumous funds and a nice community in idaho to live out the rest of his life in with a relative amount of peace. but even with seven settling into a calm and peaceful place, the ending isn't quite satisfactory. caleb was never able to let go of the past, the project will ultimately succeed as we see in ending 4, and seven will have to live with the guilt of abandoning it all for his own sake. all this to say that i think ending 2 does a great job at portraying one of the main themes of wttfm: letting go of the past, in nearly every single ending caleb ends up killing himself, and with the sole exception of ending 1 in the other endings he lives in a hell of his own design all because of his maniacal obsession with keeping the past alive. only through understanding he has a future beyond resurrecting the past does caleb find true happiness, which to me is a perfect summation of everything the game has to offer. now i only hope caleb can properly acknowledge his fate as a beautiful butch woman.

as for things to criticize, i would've loved to see more from julia in the C endings. or more julia in general, seeing her in the flashbacks would've helped expand her relationship with caleb. the action scene in both of the S path was a little jarring but i feel it was still written well and adds a much-needed bonding moment between 07 and caleb, even if it's on top of the bodies of several innocent guards. lastly, it would've been nice if frida's nature as a clone would've gotten a little bit more clarification, but that's ultimately not necessary considering it doesn't have much to do with any of the games themes and serves more of a worldbuilding purpose than anything.

ultimately i really liked wttfm, it's a great blend of horror and character-focused drama that does a great job at making you wonder what exactly happened in between those 11 years of memory loss while dangling almost every single answer directly in your face without telling you. the small details that are easily missed solidify the games events as real mysteries that could be solved by an astute reader, such as 07's scars not matching the kind of scars you'd get from jumping off a building, his hair being black despite aran's being blue and the first bad ending showing caleb's unreasonable and emotion-driven behaviour. an absolute joy to read from start to end <3

ps. hi ev

I'm still playing and I want to know how to choose the best ending. I have chosen to use a blank card in chapter 4. Mainly because I didn't want to see them end badly, but I also wanted to know what the truth was.So, can someone tell me, please！

i love this game. past me didn't know what i was getting myself into. after i finished the story, i felt empty for a day or so. i'm not sure if this is because i want more or because the story messed me up lol

spoilers 

my favourite part in the game is when the blonde guy cuts open the protagonist's head. not because of the action but because the doctor looked insane. also what is the name for the music when the music box was playing?

THIS IS MENTAL ABUSE

I loved the game sm tho LIKE OMG THE ARTSTYLE AND THE STORY?? definition of perfection. THE MUSIC TOO ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC BOX SOUND GAVE ME SM COMFORT I STAYED A WHOLE HOUR LISTENING TO IT 🙏🙏😭😭BUT OMG I CANT WITH THIS EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😭😭😭😭

FINAL ENDING 1 AND 4 MADE ME SOB SM LIKE NO THE CREATOR OF THIS GAME WHEN I CATCH YOUUUU HKFKHFKGDDKH

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS TO MEE😭😭😭😭😭

Finished Where the Two Flowers Meet, just as the clock strikes midnight!

Congratulations on such a lovely VN release. It has just the right amount of calmness with a touch of unease to it. The mystery was fairly obvious, but interesting to read nonetheless. I can tell that a lot of care went into the creation of the VN despite having to work a full-time job on top of it. All in all, would recommend this to anyone who doesn't shy away from a bit of darkness and is looking for a short story to entertain themselves with (I finished it in < 2 hours).

This game had me in a vice grip all weekend! I sat down intending to play it for an hour and next thing I knew it was Sunday and I was making a go for the finale! 

WTTFM is such an emotionally resonate and poignant story, I wasn't ready for all the feels! 

I wrote full game review on my site: Where the Two Flowers Meet Game Review

Thank you so much for creating such an amazing game!! 

This game felt so wholesome then it ripped your heart out :( in a good way? I guess haha? Since I really enjoyed your other games and this one I decided to at least support you a bit and got the artbook! 

That was lovely and I just really like how you write characters overall. In case you read this (or not it's fine) I would be curious if you have a "favorite / right ending" in your opionion? Aran is so pretty I can't and I feel Caleb's suffering (to be honest most of my characters suffer too so I can't complain there).

/ spoilers ahead!

started my new year off RIGHT with this game. the clock hit 12 just as i got to the epilogue and something about that feels so poetic, hehe

your writing is just. otherworldly. your previous vns, especially for amerta have a very special place in my heart -- and once again, you've outdone yourself aaaaaaaaa i cannot even put into words how much i loved this. 

all of the characters are absolutely gorgeous btw and i will think about aran's beautiful hair forever he is literally SO pretty :")

i also really, really love caleb's range in all the different routes, from someone really guilty to someone who doesn't hesitate to literally cut 07's brain out while he's still alive. he's so sufficiently unhinged while also being someone i can't help but sympathise with -- i'm repeating myself but i'm in love with your writing!!

thank you for making this genuinely it will literally stay with me forever

edit: also wanted to add, i love the name of this vn so so so much

I made this account just to say how this game made me cry.I swear to god this should be illegal😭 I never really cried to a game before so much.

Especially final ending 4 had me dying for hours

I also absolutely love Aran<3

(i adore this game)

OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR STORIES!! Ever since I played one of your VNs, I fell in love! And I downloaded the others! And just as I expected! All of them were amazing! Each of them gives me such a mix of emotions!! You NEED to keep going because WE.NEED.MORE!!
And Also I hope you a have a great day! :3

This story touched me emotionally, oh my god i teared up during the story and cried at the endings too. It's well written and told in a compelling way and i appreciate that the story wraps up really well too. The art and music also adds a lot to the narrative and it really helped to make you feel what the characters are feeling during emotional scenes.

If you're interested in a good story for a few hours I'd definitely recommend this!

The story is so tragic I cried.

The flashbacks help to distance the sterile hospital from the happy memories of Caleb and Aran together in the house, making the present day feel really desolate. "At the very least they're both alive and they can be happy again" was a really prominent thought in my head until the one tenous thread to those happy days is severed permanently with the reveal that the original Aran is already dead, and those good memories are in the past forever.

It really helps you to empathize with the loss that Caleb feels as you realize Aran didn't make it that far into their "10 year relationship" and is just left behind in the past forever with the rest of their "relationship" being Caleb torturing himself and others in his grief. I genuinely cannot replay the happy memories again without tearing up knowing that Aran dies so early and the scene where Caleb uses a sledgehammer on  Aran's corpse and turns all their love and hope and happiness into raw meat and a long-dead brain in a jar actually fucked me up. I genuinely felt grief for Aran and every time I see art of him smiling or being happy in the past that actually hits me.

To top it all off, the endings for Aran being "resurrected" are also really quite tragic. Forgive me if I misunderstood but the resurrection is basically just cloning and the real original person is still dead right? I feel like Caleb would know this as the person who made it happen, and the endings have an empty feeling in them to reflect that, like Caleb is just plastering over his pain by pretending that HIS Aran is back and never took his own life while some poor test subject has basically been killed and a new Aran is just confused and lost.

The ending where he takes his own life next to 7 and wakes up with Ro and Aran back in the house and the first thing he does is hug Aran and cry hit me so hard. I really am so impressed with how this game made me feel because I usually find it hard to be moved by fiction but this story really did affect me.

I had to take a break after that but I went back in and did the 07 endings where he bcomes his own person and im so glad I did that because it gave me some hope. The good ending where Caleb doesn't forget his grief but "moves on" and 7 doesn't forget his trauma but becomes his own person with Caleb really feels like closure. Like they're finally free from the events that happened so long ago and they can move on and stop torturing themselves, its really quite hopeful while still being somber which I adored. In a way, it kinda gave me back the "At the very least they're both alive and they can be happy again" hope I had at the start, just in a different way.

Also the music box at the end is so not fair for my heart.

This game is amazing, that is all.

even with the complications, with the save, i found this to overall to be a great story! i happen to be someone who tends to talk alot when I feel like I can, so please dont mind me, so all the endings were unique in there own way, and i enjoyed every part of that, i especially like the final ending 1: rhododendron just because everything seem to end up well, i like happy endings and well this could kind count as a happy ending in my books, definitely one of the best vn i played so far, thanks for making it. and the cg were all drawn wonderfully, i really like caleb and aran's design, caleb looks really cool in the final ending 1, and it seems like he still doesnt know how to tie a tie. i love all the games you made so far, hope to see something new in the future as well but of course theres no need to rush. but if you do happen to have something planned i wish you luck on that. (i have a bad habit of talking to much i swear dont mind me, dont even read it all.)

im crying. i swearrr i had something to do so i saved and closed the game and by the time i came back home i went on my computer only find out that all the save slots were empty, i knew for a fact that i have saved since it was only a few hours ago, last time this happened i thought it was only a mistake and i had to reread from the start all over again not that i mind to much but, the skip button doesnt work either, perhaps it might have been my storage problems but it wasn't that. the one i downloaded the windows 64bit and also the 32bits one, im not sure if this is just a problem with me though! even though i've only gotten to chapter 5 i can tell this was going to be great! i've loved playing your other games too, i honestly had my eye on this one for a while too

I am so upset I recorded this whole game which by the way was a masterpiece. So epic. But there were a few parts of my recording that just had stuttering audio and it would freeze, god I hate my laptop. I will find a way of getting it resolved lol.

But again, thanks for this game. It was such a wild ride.

deadass rushed it but fr excited for upcoming games from you

dude this game i love it so much, too much that i wanna draw something with the two characters so sorry to bother but is there any socials you have where you posted the initial sketches/ og designs i know theyre at the end of the game in the gallery when you finish but i forgot to save when i played it a few days ago and only realized now that i have the time to draw.

I am back with drawings of Aran XD

I wanted to do a simple design for Aran, but when I did it, I realized I had a lot of different ideas, so I drew him in different ways. He is not as beautiful as the original and my proportions are not that good, but I really enjoyed drawing him. Also, these are just paper drawings, nothing amazing XD

I also found an interesting coincidence. I was looking at my drawings waiting for coloring and then I saw that a few days before the game was released, I drew a guy that looked so much like Aran. So for fun I colored him like Aran.

I really hope you like my drawings <3

(I forgot to modify the access to the drawings but now it's done. Sorry for that)

I will write about how I felt in detail later, but I really need to say this...It was an amazing and beautiful story. I CRIED SOO MUCH. THIS STORY TOUCHED MY SENSITIVE SOUL AND THE FINAL ED 1 MADE ME CRY WATERFALL (Oh, i am not screaming, btw) One of the best vns I have ever played on here istg. I really want a sequel, but I don't think that will happen. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful story. I LOVED IT SO MUCH.

Hi!

Snowy and I finished playing. It was a ton of fun! 

We got through all the endings and had a lot of discussions throughout our route choices. I also predicted the plot twist around Caleb almost as soon as it was revealed what he specialized in.

This was the order in which we reached each ending.

Final Ending 4
Final Ending 3
Ending 3
Ending S1
Final Ending 1
Final Ending 2
Ending S3
Ending S2
Normal Ending 2
Normal Ending 1

I do have questions about one of the routes though.

I don't want to put spoilers here, so I'll put it into a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/raw/UvFq21S1

Thanks for making this wonderful game!

would it be possible to add fullscreen? I am finally able to play now lol

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH PLEASE MAKE A MORE GAY!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️ THANK YOU YOU'RE THE BEST :D

omg I just finished it and I can't find words on how amazing,wonder,magnificient...this game is I got all the endings and each time you surprised me with the plot twists I've also played your other to VNs,and all of them were well done you never disappoint fr I also love the design of your characters<333 rest well!

Can't wait to play, ahhhh!! I'll update or make my review once i can play it but the premise is niceee

I have played both of your games so far (For Amerta and WTTFM) both of them are really great! it's unlike other VN I have played so far. Your VN are the best ones I have played, definitely in my top 1. I am also planning to play Sweet Valentines. I bet it will be great! Keep up the good work and take your time :D

This is really good! It's quite long, so I only experienced Route S ending 1 and 2. However, the entire process is excellent, and I really like the art style.

I want understand more about Aran's death, so I might explore the other routes in the future. I was expecting more tension&angst between Aran and Caleb, but I love their dynamic.

Overall, great job! This work's story & writing style is very different compared to "Sweetest Valentine," but I love them both equally. 😊

I love this game SO SOOO Much. I played it for almost 6 hours straight. The story, the characters, everything was amazing. It was moving and every ending was so interseting. I really really LOVED it. 

I particulary loved to learn each characters stories, since I tend to put myself in the place of people I want to understand. It was so emotionnal and I really enjoyed learning about the original Aran's story and about Caleb. So my favourite ending was when they ended up together again, it was so cute and heart warming. (I won't lie, but it's also because I really enjoy BLs XD).

The character I prefered the most was the original Aran. His story was so depressig that I felt i a bit as my own in some ways. I won't say that what happened to him happened to me, but I understood some of the things he felt because I felt them too. I really wanted to take him in my arms and to hug him to tell him that everything would be ok, but he still died. 

To sum it up, I loved the game even more than the others by Syllphana (not to say I don't like them, I love them too). I always love these games that are exactly the kinds that could keep me awake all night to play them restlessly. I thank you Syllphana and all the persons who helped to develop this master piece. Wish you all my best wishes for the future and I hope to see you again for another great game ( not to pressure you XD). Take care of yourselves and thank you again for this amazing game. 

Also, I decided to try drawing Aran my way, I loved him so much that I wanted to do it to pay him tribute. I can always share the result later.

I will definitely play this game :0 

I played your other ones and i adored them ^^

This purple hair dude still gives me yandere vibes but oh well XD

Omg it's out, time to play now. 😁 

Finally!!! Can't wait to try this 😭😭

Excited to try it out!

Omg Im so excited to play this
