About the Story
Your twin sister walked into a place called Bethel Institute and never came back. No one reported her missing. No one seems to care. So you go in yourself, under her name, and find 50 people competing for a single Wish powerful enough to change anything. The price of entry is a piece of yourself, signed away in a contract you can't take back. Survive four seasons of psychological trials, untangle the truth behind your sister's disappearance, and try not to lose yourself to the people you meet along the way.
Meet the Main Cast
Esther - Cold, precise, and perfectly compliant with all rules set in Bethel.
Delilah - Perhaps the only person to find the deadly trials entertaining. She also finds you interesting. The distinction matters, probably.
Anaelle - A former pop idol whose career ended in scandal.
Naomi - Gentle, unassuming, and observant. She's the easiest person here to trust.
The Game
Dance of the Butterflies is a WLW psychological visual novel with four romanceable characters, and choices that cost more than they appear to.
Content warning: psychological manipulation, loss, and a contract you really should have read more carefully.
