Bloodstained Flowers English Patch

This is a fan translation of the horror mystery VN Bloodstained Flowers, also known as Chizome no Hana. The VN was made by Kanna. This translation works for the free version of the 2022 remake.

This is a translated description of the VN from NovelGame:

In the middle of summer vacation...

Sakura and her friends, members of the Mystery Investigation Club, go to the Utsugi Mansion, deep in a forest.

Ten years ago, there was a forced family suicide. Sakura and her friends discover that the owner of the Utsugi Mansion, Masaki Utsugi, researched a special flower before perishing in the family suicide.

The petals of the flowers are toxic, and those who are poisoned by them will develop red bruises all over their bodies, eventually leading to death. This toxin is also transmitted by blood.

~~~The curtain rises once more on the Utsugi Mansion~~~

Some other information about the VN:

• The main story takes around 8-10 hours to finish. Side Story 1 takes about 20-30 minutes to complete, while Side Story 2 takes about 1-2 hours.
• There is a lot of mystery in this VN, which you are encouraged to try solving yourself. Avoid spoilers. I've made sure that my screenshots are sufficiently out-of-context to not provide any spoilers. If you also want to avoid any spoilers given by the creator, even minor ones, get your free copy of the VN from NovelGame. You should also avoid looking at other works made by the creator until you've finished either the Another End or True End.
• Full voice, including the protagonist.
• This VN features a female protagonist, though it switches perspective to other characters for brief periods.
• There are light elements of Boys' Love. Specifically, there is:
  • A low-res on-screen kiss scene between two male characters.
    
  • An off-screen kiss scene.
  • A sizable focus on the romantic attraction of one of the male characters towards another.
• I don't know the exact count, but there are definitely over 100 high quality CGs in this VN. I'm counting all of a CG's variations as 1 CG.
• Every choice either results in the story progressing or a very swift End. Most of the Ends provide small hints about the mystery suitable for that point in the story, so I recommend checking them out as you read.
• When you clear the True End, make a hard save if you want easy access to the Side Stories. You can't access them from the startup menu.

Some notes regarding my particular translation:

• I've made the window size bigger because the text is way too small to read otherwise. I've made an alternative patch if you'd prefer to use the original resolution.
• I've included the Japanese honorifics and Japanese name order for spoken dialogue only. Introspection uses Western honorifics and Western name order.
• I have included the meaning of a character's name above their actual name in spoken dialogue for most of the cast, leaving out a few very minor characters near the end. The characters discuss these meanings at a few points in the VN, so I have included these meanings so that you can have context for those conversations.
• I have restored an ending that was cut in the free version. This cut ending has all of its assets present in the free version, except a CG it uses is very low resolution. I scripted the VN to use this CG as a character sprite for that ending to make sense.
• The ending slides keep the original text, and the translated text is below it.
• Opening and ending videos are untouched.
