About Dances with Butterflies VR
Every year millions of monarch butterflies overwinter in the mountains of Mexico. Dances with Butterflies lets you stand in a clearing in the forest and conduct clouds of monarch butterflies to music. Use your VR controllers as wands to conduct them and the trackpad to draw them closer or push them further away. Conduct to The Monarch Waltz by Cliff Eastabrook - or use the music in your head.
Take a break from the carnage of other games. Clear your head by standing in a mountain glade and gently conduct wafting clouds of beautiful monarch butterflies. Or start your day with five meditative minutes of peace and tranquility.

Players are divided on whether this qualifies as a game, with critics dismissing it as shallow shovelware without meaningful gameplay loops, while supporters praise it as a serene and relaxing VR experience perfect for unwinding in a beautiful forest setting with butterflies. The common ground is that it's visually pleasant and calming, though opinions differ sharply on whether that's enough to justify its existence as a Steam release.

Dances with Butterflies VR is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience". Instead of being a game, Dances with Butterflies VR is a software application that presents a poorly made art exhibition. This is a lame art experiment where you're in a forest asset and you wave your arms around to disturb a bunch of butterfly assets. We get this non-game shovelware on Steam whenever your usual Starbucks barista/McDonalds frycook art school dropout finally gets a restraining order from the local art galleries so turns to Steam Direct to try get their art published somewhere so they can finally dream of moving out of their parents basement. It's true that games can be art... art is where the pinnacles of craftsmanship and quality meet vision and narrative to create an experience far greater than the sum of the parts. This isn't a game at all, and the craftsmanship and narrative are terrible. This isn't making art better, it's just making gaming worse. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for …1 found this helpful

I mean... its cool. You get thrown into a serene setting with millions of butterflies. Good for a couple minutes of relaxation. But no matter how hard I tried I could not rip their cute little wings off!
Игра "Dances with Butterflies VR" – это невероятно расслабляющее и красивое VR-приключение. Погружение в мир, наполненный яркими лугами, тихими ручьями и десятками порхающих бабочек, выше всяких похвал. Графика, хоть и не фотореалистичная, отличается приятной стилизацией и очарованием, создавая умиротворяющую атмосферу. Геймплей прост, но эффективен: вы взаимодействуете с бабочками, кормите их, любуетесь их танцем и узнаёте о разных видах. Управление интуитивно понятно, а VR позволяет ощутить себя частью этого хрупкого мира. Звуковое сопровождение, состоящее из нежной музыки и шелеста крыльев, идеально дополняет визуальную составляющую. Мне особенно понравилось ощущение умиротворения, которое дарит игра. Это отличный способ отдохнуть от суеты и стресса, просто погрузившись в красоту природы. Хотелось бы, конечно, больше интерактивности и возможностей, но даже в текущем виде "Dances with Butterflies VR" – это прекрасное VR-путешествие для всех, кто ищет релаксацию и красоту. Рекомендую!
10/10 Relaxing and nice
