Butterfly Soup
I have never laughed so much during a game as I did when playing Butterfly Soup. I expected it to be heartwarming and a little painful, but I did not expect how well its jokes would land, and I would recommend it on comedy alone.
Butterfly Soup follows the lives of four Asian teenage girls living in Oakland, CA in 2008, exploring life (and each other!)
It’s hard to find a game that has as much personality as you’d find in Butterfly Soup. Each character is wonderful - just completely gawky teen girls who get into absurd shenanigans, with layered story arcs that intertwine with one another. As the game puts it: “It’s okay to be a flaming dumpster fire. If you want to be a butterfly, you have to be butterfly soup first.” All of the characters are finding themselves, and are figuring out ways to express themselves as they awkwardly grow into adults. Everyone should play Butterfly Soup. It’s pay-what-you-want on Itch.io, so there’s no excuse not to. And we've even included it in our round-up of our favourite free PC games.
