This is a really emotional series for me. I played the first game in middle school, and now I'm in my senior year of high school. Both times these games have been linked to an aspect of my identity that I'm not as secure in, and made me feel okay with not knowing everything yet. I missed all the characters so much, and Min's talk about their gender reflected how I feel about my own identity in a way I never thought I'd see. Most of all, I adore the epilogues. I love seeing these characters truly happy.
The short version is that these games are deeply personal to me and I'm so happy you've made them. 10/10, will play again :P
Such an amazing game, well worth waiting for! I was so happy laughing and falling in love (again) with such relatable characters! Really touched on a lot of topics that happen in life and made the "learning" part of each so heartwarming, my soul feels warm and fuzzy after this game just like before <3
I can't find words to express how much I loved this game, it truly exceeded my expectations so hARD. I cried, laughed, screamed just like I did with the first game, I'm most likely going to replay it all week, I can't get enough of it. I loved all the interactions between the characters, and how every character has their own struggles and conflicts and is unique in the way they respond to problems. I love all these characters so much.
*SPOILERS*
Also, as a non-binary lesbian, I would like to add that I cried SO HARD at the part where Min talks about her experience, I just felt so represented and I was so happy to see people like me shown in media, which doesn't happen often, if ever.
*End of spoilers lol*
I only have one question to ask Brianna Lei, would it be okay for me to get the butterfly of the icon tattoed? I've been thinking about doing it for 2 years now but I'm not sure if you'd be okay with that, I doubt you'll see this but I would really like to carry a piece of this game in my body for my whole life, just like I'll carry it in my heart.
Lastly, thank you (all of the team) for making such a wonderful game, I truly loved it.
I can't believe that this game made me cry (I can believe it actually, noelle is just so relatable, plus yeah, the metro in Taipei is fantastic! love the sounds and music cues they use when the trains pull in!), but damn you knocked it out of the park again!
Really hope we get to see Butterfly Soup 3 in the future, where our gang of no-longer-kids gain more exp with life and come to bridge their differences with their parents... but that just might be the old fart in me talking. Being that kid before, and growing into a person that, somehow, fortunately is good friends with my parents is such a nice thing, and damn if I didn't want these characters and other people irl to have that, too, if possible.
Thanks for making this awesome game and experience!
This is game of the year to me. These characters are still so well-realized, maybe even better now than in the first game. What a fantastic story that I'm so glad to have experienced.
this is my favorite game of the year. butterfly soup 1 gave me such brilliant memories with my friends and i still hold min's gun that shoots a gun that shoots a knife as one of my favorite gaming moments ever. butterfly soup 2 has so much nuance. like. wow these characters grow and develop and have so much love for each other! they make each other better! they are all so good together! the ending is incredibly touching and lovely and gives me so much joy and hope for the world. gonna be thinking about this for a very long time. maybe somewhere down the road a few weeks later i might binge play both games in a day. it's a game worth replaying!
(spoiler: love the detail at the end where they use 'they' pronoun for min it's lovely. sorry ! spoilers haha. hope i didn't read that wrong it was a super fleeting detail but it's great.) in love with all the characters. thank you brianna lei!
Whoaza!!! I'm so glad this sequel tracked on more issues or topics on issues!! It made me so happy, especially getting to see the relationship between cultures, parents.. Or how things could've turned out in ways?? I don't know what to say!! I'm actually speechless, more than wordy!! o_o so cool!! SO GOOD!!
It’s actually under Briannas profile. So clicking on “View all by Brianna Lei” or searching for her, or actually just searching for Butterfly Soup 2 should do it.
I laughed, related, and cried all at the same time. Thank you Brianna for another game that I thoroughly enjoyed, and thank you for the additional art book with the 5 dollars!!! I love your art, please continue to do what you do best <3
I am speechless. I just finished the game and it exceeded my wildest expectations. The characters are as loveable as I remember them and we get more insight into the struggles all four of the main cast are dealing with. Each one was given great attention and care, with all four feeling equally important in their struggles and motives. I audibly reacted at all the hilarious shenanigans that ensued and was shocked into silence at the real complicated emotions each one dealt with. Much like the first game, the ending held an uplifting tone towards the future, and the ending was touching and a bit unexpected. Absolutely wonderful job Brianna Lei (and the rest of the team), I'm so glad I got to see this colorful cast of characters brought to life again :)

I cried like five times from the beginning of Noelle's segment to the end. What a wonderful way to end these characters' stories.

edit: added some personal exp as context.
as much as I'd love a butterfly soup 3 I feel like this ending was a nice note to end on. A little epilogue comic would be fantastic though
that would be fair, seeing how life goes on and stuff sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't.
that's the beauty of it, isn't it? : )
Every bit as amazing as the first game. I love these girls so much <3
This is game of the year to me. These characters are still so well-realized, maybe even better now than in the first game. What a fantastic story that I'm so glad to have experienced.

There's an available fan port now. Search for HackerNCoder here in itch.io
It’s actually under Briannas profile. So clicking on “View all by Brianna Lei” or searching for her, or actually just searching for Butterfly Soup 2 should do it.
No. But I am. If you want to help me test it, install it from itch: https://brianna-lei.itch.io/butterfly-soup-2-webandroid-ports
