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.

What a beautiful, unique interactive poem.
Made me cry :3
A poem told in the medium of a game. A thought-provoking piece. Recommended.
Again very abrasive and noisy and aggressive soundscapes and effects for what is almost a bittersweet if mournful poem. It's quite exhausting but short enough to power through and I can honestly say that I've never played something quite like this, with its mixture of different styles, textures and tonalities. Intriguing! 6/10

Dark and dread-inspiring, traversing an area of stone corpses that feels stifling and sickly. Great as a bit of abstract horror art. Imagery sticks with you for a while. Good for a non-traditional horror game experience.

Experimental in the best sense of the word. I could get more into poems if more of them were as sensory as this one. Maybe we can all move on, somehow... Damn
A beautiful surreal experience that leaves a lasting impression. Excellent and evocative writing. Fantastic overall.
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
