No, see, this is special to me.
After playing butterfly soup, I immediately sent it to all three of my younger siblings. Later that month when I came home from college, all three of them casually came out to me in the same night. Did this game turn us gay? Yes, and we're still looking for the cure.
I was in college, unhealthily offline, and had zero language around gender sexuality identity or whatever when I played this. Looking back, this was THE catalyzing piece of art to give me the license, but more importantly, the joy to come out. Same deal for my partner - this shit was spreading gay like peanut butter on toast.
It's a love story so effortlessly funny that it quietly earns its earnestness moment after moment. I still recommend it to any friend of mine needing a pick me up. It's a feel-good story! Pretty freakin rare quality in visual novels, and even games in general that are considered "impactful."
Idk man, it was also like the first visual novel I played and its music kinda sounds like the interlude music from Blonde? Brianna didn't have to go so hard but damn. Can't wait to play 2.
