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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

A Butterfly 🦋
Experimental in the best sense of the word. I could get more into poems if more of them were as sensory as this one. Maybe we can all move on, somehow... Damn
This is not a happy place, but it might be hopeful in the end. A weird, beautiful, weird, haunting meditation on escaping what, where, or how you are.

Again very abrasive and noisy and aggressive soundscapes and effects for what is almost a bittersweet if mournful poem. It's quite exhausting but short enough to power through and I can honestly say that I've never played something quite like this, with its mixture of different styles, textures and tonalities. Intriguing! 6/10
Beautiful and sad piece of horror poetry. As good an example of the use of videogame mechanics and play to write [create? improvise? explain?] poetry that I've ever seen.
I never would have thought a game where I play as a sweet little butterfly could make me feel existential dread, but here we are. 10/10, no notes.
也许有一天,我们都会拥有蝴蝶的翅膀
A poem told in the medium of a game. A thought-provoking piece. Recommended.
(already completed on itch) A short but deeply visceral experience- it almost *feels* like you're turning into soup and being reborn from a cocoon
