Cute game, with pleasing graphics and relaxing music. The flying mechanic takes some getting used to, as I'm used to playing with inverted controls -- so cue lots of me crashing to the ground when I intended to soar high and free. The world is a little smaller than it appears (you'll hit an invisible wall every now and then), but for the price it's good value and recommended.
Медитативная, расслабляющая игра. Немного управление полетом напрягает, но в целом, нам не на орбиту, NASA могут спать спокойно. Сложновато было найти некоторых отдельных NPC (пауки и 5й человек, конкретно), но намотав стопицот кругов по округе, они были найдены, и злостно отфотканы. Для получения ачивок по фотографированию юзайте кликер, пока сядете ужинать) а так - игра приятная, действительно философская, красочная, и заслуживает как лайка, так и местонахождения в коллекции
Um jogo lindo e muito relaxante…
Fly around as a butterfly and take photos of creatures in the area, and also pick up shiny, star like objects to get new wings. The game's mostly chill and relaxing. Very inspired by Chinese art and philosophy(more specifically "The Butterfly Dream" by Chuang Tzu). The game is visually pleasing enough, though there are definitely improvements to be had. Audio wise, there's some nice, fitting music playing the entire time, and some sound effects here and there - though it often felt as if the only sound in the game was the music. Gameplay wise is where the game falls short though, as the controls are a bit clunky and unintuitive. I really wish this would be improved upon. There's also no external forces(for example wind) affecting your movement. Another small critique is that a couple of the more interesting looking areas to explore are actually outside of the map, so you can't actually go there. (Ie. the large bridge and the waterfall.) I get that it's supposed to look like the world continues outside the playable area, but having places outside the playable area that looks more interesting than those that are inside makes it just frustrating. There's also a bug that makes it so that all picture files for the photos you take just become the same one over and over again. Also, 1000 photos for that last achievement felt a bit ridiculous. Highest one ought to have been 500, if even that. Start click spamming! Anyway, generally enjoyed myself, but there's absolutely improvements to be had here. 100% in 1 hour 15 minutes. (Very easy.)
I think this is a great concept. I don't think it's well-made, or even really ready for a price tag. My butterfly went jittery multiple times. I saw birds land on the ground... in mid air. The mouse sensitivity is way too low, even at max, and a lack of any proper controller support doesn't help, Atrocious optimization like every other free license Unity game, and no graphics settings; watching a 3070ti and Ryzen 9 choke on something so basic makes me cry inside. A nauseating low FoV, which when combined with the poor framerates, triggered a migraine, which is the exact opposite of relaxing for me. Stock new age music that isn't even culturally accurate half the time. Knowing there's already so many flight-based zen games out there on Steam already, it's hard for me to find any real merit for [i]A Butterfly's Dream[/i] over virtually any other option.
O jogo é muito bonito, resta apenas polimento nos controles (movimentação do mouse é estranha, falta ajuste de sensibilidade). Vocês ainda criarão obras gigantes! Estou ansioso para ver o que vocês tem em mente. Por esse preço eu não tenho nem o direito de reclamar. Compre o jogo e apoie a indústria de jogos brasileiros!

[h2]A Relaxing Dreamscape[/h2] The dilemma of a dream where you are a butterfly who does not know they are a person who does not know they are a butterfly who does not know they are a person... is a relaxing game about dreaming. The graphics are really pleasing and soft edges aid the immersion into dream land. The game is pretty relaxing until about 30 minutes in when you find that the jukebox is just the same music on repeat. You could mute just the game music and put on a spotify playlist. What I liked about the game, is that it forced me to go look up the philosopher and the poem on google and learn a bit more. The devs did their homework to come up with a really cool game concept. [h2]Accomplishments[/h2] [b]Were[/b] terribly hard to complete in the first few versions, due to sheer amount of searching needed. But got fixed recently. It's worth noting at this point, that the developer is a solo coder, and their first game, so rewrote the accomplishments pop code limits and fixed this pretty quickly. Which now makes it a totally relaxing game, because you really do have to just keep flying that butterfly until you find them all. [h2]Camera Motion[/h2] Although the music is relaxing, the camera swoops about (in a predictable way) but sometimes not in a useful way, and then sometimes goes nuts. If you find yourself fighting the camera for control just to see where you are heading check out my guide here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802421635
Kleines, ruhiges Spiel zum Entspannen. Der Schmetterling ist extrem langsam unterwegs, also erwartet wirklich ausschließlich ein entspannendes, beruhigendes Spiel, was ähnlich einem Laufsimulator ist, nur, dass man als Schmetterling fliegt. Es war ein nettes Spiel und ein toller Zeitvertreib. Klare Empfehlung!
A relaxing game with a very pleasant experience.
