A relaxing game with a very pleasant experience.
[h2]A Relaxing Dreamscape[/h2] The dilemma of a dream where you are a butterfly who does not know they are a person who does not know they are a butterfly who does not know they are a person... is a relaxing game about dreaming. The graphics are really pleasing and soft edges aid the immersion into dream land. The game is pretty relaxing until about 30 minutes in when you find that the jukebox is just the same music on repeat. You could mute just the game music and put on a spotify playlist. What I liked about the game, is that it forced me to go look up the philosopher and the poem on google and learn a bit more. The devs did their homework to come up with a really cool game concept. [h2]Accomplishments[/h2] [b]Were[/b] terribly hard to complete in the first few versions, due to sheer amount of searching needed. But got fixed recently. It's worth noting at this point, that the developer is a solo coder, and their first game, so rewrote the accomplishments pop code limits and fixed this pretty quickly. Which now makes it a totally relaxing game, because you really do have to just keep flying that butterfly until you find them all. [h2]Camera Motion[/h2] Although the music is relaxing, the camera swoops about (in a predictable way) but sometimes not in a useful way, and then sometimes goes nuts. If you find yourself fighting the camera for control just to see where you are heading check out my guide here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802421635

庄周梦蝶 操作有点奇怪啊感觉 玩着莫名有点晕,没玩太久
実績の主な目的は、人や動物、鳥や魚等の生き物の発見と撮影、それと自分が飛ぶ蝶の入手となってますが、これ以外にも蝶を操作しながら美しい情景と飛行が楽しめるゲームです。 着せ替えて飛ぶ事が出来る蝶は、現バージョンでは51種類あります。(飛び方に違いはありません) 東アジア圏を舞台にしているようで、竹藪、桜、鳥居など日本でも身近な風景を楽しむ事が可能です。 現バージョンでも偶に鳥が止まった状態で空中を移動したり、蝶のテクスチャがチラついたり、牛が何頭も重なったり...する事はありますが、全体的にリラックスした雰囲気で楽しめる心身にとても良いゲームです。 特定の場所に行くと、標準マップの範囲外の地域も飛ぶ事が出来るようです。 今後、有料でも良いので他のマップや蝶を楽しめるDLC等を期待してます。
Jogo bastante relaxante, ótima trilha sonora.
Relaxante. A jogabilidade é um pouco atrapalhada, mas é um jogo bonito e nos transmite a sensação de estar dentro de um quadro, um imaginário distante.
[h3] Horrendous navigation mechanics !!! [/h3] I just want to chill out looking for the different items by moving the butterfly over the pretty landscape. The controls are absolutely horrible !!! This could have been a lovely experience, very disappointed.
Am I a person dreaming that I'm a butterfly? Or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a person? A pause between breaths.
I really wanted to like this game. The idea of flying around as a butterfly in a beautiful environment, and taking photographs of animals intrigued me. However, A Butterfly's Dream has the worst game mechanics I've ever experienced. First of all, movement is agonizingly slow, unprecise, and not at all smooth. Trying to direct the butterfly to where you want it to go is an exercise that requires extreme patience and the results are usually poor. When you're trying to get close to something or land on or near something, the butterfly often gets pulled to the left or right, up or down, inside of a rock or wall, or underground. Clipping is a huge problem. This is not a finished game, and if the devs think it is, then they have very low standards for what a well-honed, enjoyable game should be. I know the game is cheap, however, it shouldn't even exist. It's a waste of time and money. I requested a refund. $1.49 is even too much for the frustration and time wasted on this lousy effort.
