About the Game

"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.
