It was really cool, and scary why she scream. The story is very gripping, the first game I've played from Kerineia, and I want to play something like that again. 11/10
This was really, really good. Absolutely nailed the sound and creepy atmosphere and unsettling imagery for a story equal parts disturbing and sad. Very well done. 10/10
The pacing of it felt very natural and not like we were rushing through the story just to reach a big jumpscare.
You also did a great job using the notes and the environment to tell your story. It was fun to read about something and then see it happen in real time. Your art style made it especially cool! :)
I made a video on if if you'd like to check it out. (sorry I was pretty sick when I made it lol)
And if you'd ever like a FREE voiceactor for a future project, please let me know! I would love to help
Checked out your game for my 10 days of Horror series I am doing on YouTube. That was a fun experience. Kinda expected the outcome, but still a fun time. Tho.. I'm not to sure about the dog, and the mannequin that much..
I just came across THE BUTTERFLY and love the concept, a narrative-driven psychological horror experience blending insects, love, and poignant storytelling is unique and compelling. The short playtime and atmospheric first-person perspective make it perfect for players looking for a chilling, story-rich experience.
I specialize in helping indie horror and narrative games grow their audience, boost engagement, and create promotional content. With THE BUTTERFLY, I could help:
Promote it across social media, psychological horror, and narrative game communities.
Create short, engaging trailers or clips highlighting the story, atmosphere, and horror moments.
Build community engagement to attract new players interested in short, impactful horror experiences.
If you’re open to it, I’d love to share ideas for amplifying visibility and helping more players discover your game.
You can reach me directly at m_bickley@yahoo.com I’d be happy to discuss a tailored promotion plan for THE BUTTERFLY.
Looking forward to helping your game reach a wider audience and make a strong impression on horror fans!
The story is super sad. It’s mysterious and horrifying, the fact you cannot help her, that you weren’t telling her the truth and the fact you took the dogs life in order to create a sentient mannequin to fill the void of losing her.
The gameplay takes a backseat, but that is fine because you keep playing for the story
I haven't played many itch.io horror games yet but from the ones I have played this is the best one by far! It had me scared the entire time and I loved the feeling! Thank you for this masterpiece.
Played your game and I have to say what fun it was, it was scary and spooky a great game for me to check out during spooky season anyways good job and keep up the good work!

AAAAAAAAA THAT'S SCARY😭😭😭
Very ominous, loved the style and the storytelling! Great job!
10/10. Well done, the sound design is incredible. Very short, but an absolute must play.
Play while listening to the The Caretaker album "Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 1)" for UNMATCHED atmosphere.

I loved this! Had me scared and yet curious as to what would happen next without jumpscaring (too much).
Very cool!
