Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.

“The abyss called your name. You followed it here. Now you are its prisoner.” “深渊呼唤着你,你走入其中,受囚其中。” 挣扎、反抗,然而无力、颓唐。不论是肉体的死亡,还是精神的消逝。直到自己的骸骨也化为尘埃,直到死亡这个概念也失去意义,直到“意义”也没了意义。 也许一切还剩下这么点渣滓,是一片没有名字的沙海,是一只没有名字的蝴蝶——直到她飞向存在的终点,通向虚空的虚空。也许这就是命运本身。一路挣扎只为自己的存在,但又不得不屈服于那不可回避的沉寂。
A Butterfly offers a brief, strange, and somewhat sour poetic journey into pain and existentialism, with some appealing glitchy surreal visuals. I didn't like the total lack of configuration options, although I understand that you can't be picky about a 20-minute game with a $1 price tag. In short, if you value this kind of artistic exploration, A Butterfly will meet your expectations.

Mixing videogame and poetry is an amazing way to take a peek into another human soul. Just an amazing and haunting work of art.
Haunting, beautiful, terrifying, hopeful... The peak of interactive audiovisual poetry by a master of the craft.
This is a very creative way to tell a story. There's little in the way of playability but there's something special here in the presentation and intent. I recommend highly.
I've never experience poetry via a video game before but this makes me want to experience more!
[h2]A Butterfly : [/h2] Perfectly, imperfect.
STANNN IM A BUTTERFLYYY IM FLYING FREE WITH MY BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY WINGS, I WAS GONNA PLAY THE GAME BUT BUTTERFLYS HAVE NO CONCERN FOR SUCH THINGS. IM GONNA FIND SOME BUTTERFLY POON AHHAHAHAHAHHHOOOOOHEHE
Not entirely sure what it was trying to say, but I enjoyed it. Great mix of styles. The weird little setting is compelling and I think I should give it another go.
It's a short experimental acid-infused mourning poem you should experience yourself.
