Rectifier: In Bloom

Rectifier: In Bloom is a complete side game set in Aelyria, a world where you are known as an Angel and serve as a Rectifier tasked with saving humanity from itself. You travel with a party of seven men, each with a sinful quirk. The game explores the world, your role and the relationships among the group through side stories, presented in media res.

Routes and choices

Choose one of seven routes, each with two CGs. The routes contain over 105,000 words in total and take about 10.5 hours to play, or roughly 1–2 hours per route. Along the way, you receive a flower from the man you choose. There are no bad endings or bad choices, though the stories still include drama and conflict.

Choices shape the MC’s romantic dynamic with each character. Red choices make the MC more forward, flirty or harsh; Green choices encourage clearer communication and help the MC notice more; Blue choices bring out the best in those around them. Each route can be played at least three times for these different dynamics, giving 21 distinct experiences, with Grey choices offering further customization.

The MC uses they/them pronouns and can have a visible or invisible sprite, with masculine- or feminine-presenting options. The MC can also be played as explicitly asexual without negatively affecting the romance; Stiles is on the ace spectrum.

The party

The seven men who travel with you are:

• D. Greer: A former pirate captain and member of the criminal syndicate Espectros, Greer is the embodiment of Greed. He has never revealed his real name or face to you. He can pass through solid objects while holding his breath.
• Lior: The embodiment of Lust, Lior is a mischievous bard who loves music, monsters and mankind. He can create up to three copies of himself and others, though he dislikes copying other people.
• Stiles: The embodiment of Sloth, Stiles is a prominent doctor, a former noble of Jaqulier White and the oldest member of the party. His collected, eloquent manner and sharp wit conceal a kind, fragile nature. He can use telekinesis on anything he can physically carry.
• Glyph: The embodiment of Gluttony, Glyph is a friendly wolf hybrid and ambassador for the Aniterrans, a half-animal, half-human race. He has an iron stomach and can eat even poisonous things; as an Aniterran, he also has exceptional hearing, smell, speed and strength.
• Wren: The embodiment of Wrath, Wren is a battle-hardened, half-demon soldier who wants to keep his people safe. Though he claims the journey is only a mission, he is gentle and doting toward you. His skin is as hard as stone, and he has no scars from his years as a soldier.
• Percy: The embodiment of Pride, Percy is a devoted servant of Aelyria’s Western faith and a faithful supporter of Angels, especially you and your cause. His ability, Mantra, lets him compel someone to do as he says for one minute.
• Emile: The embodiment of Envy, Emile is a Nephelim like you and a former Rectifier who has fallen from grace. He seems tentative and intent on doing the right thing. He can make himself invisible for as long as he pleases, but losing concentration weakens the effect.
