The Butterfly Dreams

[h1]When you discover that there's much more to the VR world...[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]The Butterfly Dreams[/i] is a kinetic, psychological mystery visual novel developed and published by Ave Q Production. You're Thomas, and you've been invited to an exclusive event in which its host, Brian, boasts that virtual reality will be taken to a whole new level, thanks to Fantasia, the newest VR gaming apparatus. Along with yourself, there are several other participants, such as Renata (a renowned children's book author) and Sean (a pro-gamer). All the participants are invited to create their own worlds with this technology, and most do so eagerly. Despite that Fantasia will probably be beneficial, one or more of the participants may have more nefarious schemes. What worlds will be created, and can you uncover the truth? As for the gameplay, the story is linear, despite that choices are presented throughout the story. Choices slightly change the story's flavor text, depending on who Thomas interacts with. While no CGs or voice acting is present, there is a great soundtrack. Also, a few Steam achievements are present, but they won't count towards a user's global total unti…

A short but delightful mystery visual novel. The gameplay is simple and not long but the game is well polished with perky characters that you would love. It has great art, suitable BGM choice, great pacing and a very well written world-building and characters. The base story is quite linear but there are several hidden motifs and hints of the plot that you could find and hypothesise which will be paid off on the big reveal giving a nice and satisfying finish. I would love to see the sequel and how they expand each characters further. Worth the price tag.
