Re:Bloom 花精霊のぽかぽか温泉郷 Restart Guide

Why Restart in Re:Bloom?

Restarting your save in Re:Bloom 花精霊のぽかぽか温泉郷 may become necessary for several reasons. Perhaps you want to experience the early game with a different strategic approach, or you feel that your initial resource allocation was suboptimal. Since the game is a single-player casual clicker with no official cloud save or multiple save slots, the only way to truly start over is by manually deleting your existing save data. This guide will walk you through the exact steps to perform a clean restart.

Before proceeding, ensure you have read the beginner guide for foundational knowledge. Restarting will erase all progress, including unlocked bathhouses, collected Poka energy, and any upgrades you have purchased.

How to Delete Your Save File

The save file for Re:Bloom 花精霊のぽかぽか温泉郷 is stored locally on your PC. To perform a restart, you need to locate and delete this file. Follow the steps below carefully.

Step 1: Locate the Save Folder

Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard, type %appdata%, and hit Enter. Navigate to the folder named TATAMI WORKS and then into the ReBloom subfolder. You should see a file named save.dat or similar.

Step 2: Back Up Your Save (Optional)

If you want to keep your current progress for later, copy the save.dat file to another location like your desktop. This allows you to restore it later if you change your mind.

Step 3: Delete the Save File

Select the save.dat file and press Delete on your keyboard, or right-click and choose "Delete". Confirm any prompts that appear.

Step 4: Launch the Game

Start Re:Bloom 花精霊のぽかぽか温泉郷. The game will detect that no save file exists and will automatically generate a new one, starting you from the very beginning.

Starting a Fresh Playthrough

Once your save file is deleted and you launch the game, you will be greeted by the opening tutorial. This is your chance to make different choices. Pay close attention to the initial resource management tips, as they can significantly impact your early progression speed.

For a more efficient start, consider reading our beginner tips guide which covers optimal first upgrades. Focus on building the basic bathhouse first, then prioritize collecting Poka energy to unlock the second bath slot early. This will double your passive income generation.

What Changes After a Restart

When you restart, you lose all progress, but you gain the advantage of knowledge. Your second playthrough will be much faster because you understand the game's mechanics. The core loop remains the same: build baths, attract flower spirits, collect energy, and expand your hot spring resort.

However, your strategy can be refined. For example, you might choose to focus on a specific spirit type earlier, or save resources for a particular upgrade path. Check our upgrades guide for detailed information on which upgrades offer the best return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my Steam achievements if I restart? No. Steam achievements are tied to your Steam account, not your local save file. You will keep any achievements you have already earned, but you will have to unlock them again on a fresh save.

Can I have multiple save files? Currently, Re:Bloom 花精霊のぽかぽか温泉郷 only supports a single save file per user profile. To maintain multiple saves, you must manually back up and restore the save.dat file as described above.

Does restarting affect my in-game purchases? Since the game is a paid title with no microtransactions, there are no purchases to worry about. Your purchase of the game itself remains on your Steam library permanently.
