Butterfly Tea

This is all so imaginative and surreal- and I definitely didn't predict from the opening that I'd die in a painting- or that the animals would be mean! It's also challenging my tiny intellect to the limits, and I'm currently stuck trying to scare the rabbit (I've got a just cup of black stuff which might help but it's not letting me leave the cave- I can only seem to die, or postpone my death with 'wait').

I'm enjoying the atmosphere and it's a very compelling game. One thing I'd say is that the furniture could use a bit more graphics editing. The chairs are less sharp than the background paintings, there are patches of discolouration and jagged white bits. This wouldn't be an issue except I was stuck trying to find lemons and cranberries for an embarrassingly long time- and these minor flaws really grow when you have to cross-examine everything. The Unsharp Mask and Anti-Aliasing tool are your friends here.

Also, I wonder if this game should carry an epilepsy warning? This is probably Renpy's fault but it's very easy to get a flickering red screen when you move the mouse to start the game. Anyway, look forward to playing more- hopefully figuring out what to do too!

My friends and I are playing through the game and are really enjoying it! We’ve gotten all the endings except for the 4th one 😅 We are stumped lol. We look forward to when the full version comes out.

Edit: We used our slightly smooth brains and figured it out.

Hey again!! I made a follow up video and this time I guess the issue with the recording has been fixed this time! I will give you the rest of the feedback that I already started before! I am liking your game and I keep following the dev logs of your game.

• Sometimes I click so the dialogue keeps going but there is no response! It did happen if you want to know around minute 10:31
• When I give those 20 pearls to Brigitte so she can give me the perfume, the game takes me directly after that to talk with Sally, even though I didn’t press to talk to Sally (See minute 11:44 for a closer look).
• In minute 13:37 you will notice that I could take that big pearl in the top left corner... was that intended to happen in the game?

The game is for sure has great potential and I would love to see the first version, just take all of your time to make it, I am sure it will be great... All the best.

PS: My little annoying brother liked the game and he actually came to my recording setting and spoke little bit, I left it in the video and did not delete his part lol it was funny because he was making fun of me.

I already love this game and I can't wait for the full version! 

thats so cute! also how do you make a game? :>

Hello, lovely people!

I would like to thank everyone who has decided to try out this game. This is the first game I've ever made, so it means a lot to me. 

I would especially like to give a shout-out to all those who took some time to write comments. Your feedback is invaluable for the development of this game.

Now, there is something I would love if you could help out with. Whether you've played the demo, you're about to play, or you're simply considering it, I would greatly appreciate if you could share your thoughts on which of the following style for the full version you prefer:

STYLE 1

STYLE 2

The full version is much darker and heavier than the demo as characters' backstories are revealed. The demo can be seen as a 'prologue' to the full version with a story of its own that's tied to the main plot.

I hope to create the right atmosphere, so your feedback would be a great help.

Thank you for making Butterfly Tea better!

Super fun and a good idea the art is really nice as well and maybe im just not good at this sort of thing but i'm so stuck! I've gotten to the room at the end of the cave and gotten the void(??) in the teacup but im so lost!

I love the style! the music and the art very cute

but I think I have a bug
after getting 5 pearls i cant give them to the rabbit i think idk the one with the hat... 

Awesome game! Love the art and the characters.

Some puzzles can be challenging to solve. You really have to think "outside-the-box"sometimes.

Love the idea that it's nonlinear.

Definitely didn't take 1 hour to play this lol.

Looking forward to the full version.

Here you will find my gameplay video for your demo, I will also write my review about your game below… I do need support for me to keep doing these kind of reviews, so do subscribe to my YouTube channel.

• First of all, the game style is really nice, I loved the art that you have in the game. Especially the butterflies and the fact when you scroll the mouse over them in the menu, the entire screen change. Love it.
• The soundtrack is chilling and it has some horror vibes from time to time, so well done on that.
• However, there is one major issue I faced in this demo, sometimes when I click to continue reading the conversations of the characters, there is a small delay after I click and it does not change directly (This does not happen all the time but it was enough to corrupt the rest of the video... starting from minute 10:36 in the video) The rest is out of synchronization between my commentary and the gameplay. I also had another 20 min corrupted because of that, but this time I just deleted the file and only kept this first one so you see the problem up close. (I deleted the rest of the video since it was corrupted)
• Other than that problem above I did not have any issues, except the fact that I could enter the cave the first time and went too deep until I found myself in another room, this did not happen again no matter how much I replayed the game and went into the cave… I always died after my very first time (thought to mention this to you here).
• I truly love puzzles but these that you had are more complicated and it is hard to know how to solve them without any kind of hints (I think you might have that in the full game since this is a demo but in case you don’t have it in the full game, you might consider adding that).

This one looks so cute.

awesome game :3

I played. So far I'm stuck with ending 3. I enter the cave...  and i go forward and die. I can't dive because the lake is frozen. Having trouble figuring anything else out. Caught the butterfly and made butterfly blood. Talked to everyone. Any hints? loll
