About
"These ruins of a lighthouse have brittle bones.
Ocean once surrounded it. You know the stories...
Of a great beautiful oasis where titans came to die.
Grief brought you here.
Now you are trapped in an endless cycle, on a world that is lost to you."
Part horror, part interactive poem about overcoming and bittersweet surrender, A Butterfly is an arthouse game open world flight-sim meets walking-sim with interactive fiction elements.
You must explore a world that is alien to you. Transcendence comes at a heavy price. Surrounded by a never ending desert where you learn an ancient story. The abyss called your name. You followed it here. Now you are its prisoner.

Reviews
It's a short experimental acid-infused mourning poem you should experience yourself.
If you are looking at playing this game: Do not play this game as a completionist. Do not try to find the secrets or hidden endings. Do not try to consume this game. There are no hidden references to other games. There is no secret meta story. There are no achievements. This is a game that simply asks you to play, to touch, to experience and to consider. Play the game. Read it. Listen to it. It is not very long; you can finish it in one sitting. Complete it, and sit with it. Let it percolate through your mind, let the feelings set in. How do you feel? How would you feel? How will you feel? We will all be trapped there, someday.

what
Not great
LSD trip about existentialism
I never would have thought a game where I play as a sweet little butterfly could make me feel existential dread, but here we are. 10/10, no notes.
yeah this is really great, check it out if being confused and sitting with it sounds appealing to you ,, probably also play this if that doesnt sound great, it may be a valuable experience anyways,, made me wonder what it might be like to play a similar game based on deleuzean philosophy
