Butterfly Fantasy 2


I thought some of you might like this online spot-the-difference game, Butterfly Fantasy. It's casual to the max - the gameplay pretty much an arbitrary layer over the artwork - but the images tell a modern fantasy story that rather grabbed me.

I've linked to episode 2, because I found the first episode to be a bit downbeat and dreary, and the third is just a drawn-out deus ex machina - but the second shows some great, imaginative storytelling in its wordless images. By turns uplifting, dramatic and sad.

(Although one thing that bugs me is that these are clearly moths, not butterflies.)

Ooh. My brother plays a lot of these.
As for me...lately I'm partial to Katamari Damacy.
