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.

A Butterfly 🦋
(already completed on itch) A short but deeply visceral experience- it almost *feels* like you're turning into soup and being reborn from a cocoon
No he entendido nada. En plan se inglés y he ententido los textos, pero la enorme pretenciosa POLLA del creador del juego no me dejaba jugar sin recordarme cada segundo lo pretencioso que es el juego. Lo recomiendo

A poem in the way of a video game and a video game in the way of a poem. Absolutely amazing.
总有一天我们会破茧成蝶 拥有更强大的精神 学会如何飞翔
Beautiful and sad piece of horror poetry. As good an example of the use of videogame mechanics and play to write [create? improvise? explain?] poetry that I've ever seen.
很小品的一部游戏,流程大概15-25分钟之间。 判定偶尔会很奇怪,我因为判定卡了半天关,还以为自己弄错了,不过重打的时候也没影响,可能是随机的问题。 特别喜欢空格键松开、停止飞行时,蝴蝶会撕裂开随风飘走的这个设计,好漂亮好喜欢。
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.
This is not a happy place, but it might be hopeful in the end. A weird, beautiful, weird, haunting meditation on escaping what, where, or how you are.
