Thank you so much, it was so, so wonderful. I loved the original and the expanded story, their triumphs and their struggles, and, yeah, there was giggling, crying, and being so happy for these characters. I love them all. Thank you bringing them back to keep telling their stories.
I loved this, i remember playing the game years ago and finally came on itch.io for the first time in months to find that a part 2 was made. I laughed and cried at the end, all of the characters feel so real
I have so much love for this series. The first installment was already a wonderful story on its own but I am so glad you've continued on with a second one! The first Butterfly Soup meant so much to me as a 14 year old and i now, nearing 20, am overjoyed after playing Butterfly Soup 2. I feel like I've grown up with these girls.
All aspects of the game are well made, from the atmospheric backgrounds and sound effects, to the lovely soundtrack that's very fitting to the game. The meme references and dialogue exchanges between characters are funny as hell. It is so exciting to see D.A.M.N and all the others again and play through their new arcs.
Thank you Brianna for all the time and work you've put into these wonderful games. This series will always have my support <3
if you told my 15 year old self two years ago about a sequel to the butterfly soup game, she would've gone ballistic. thank you for giving us 2 butterfly 2 soup
The original Butterfly Soup is one of my favourite VNs of all time, and I was so glad to see these characters again. Thank you for blessing us with more of it.
I sent you a lot of personal feedback on many details but what I will say in a public space here is that your characters continue to be utterly charming and hilarious. I just never laugh so much and with such frequency at games like I have these two title. Your ability to use the visual novel medium to capitalize on humanistic 'cringe' humor is delightful.
Beautiful game, loved the first one and loved this one too. I really liked that it digs a lot of important themes (I'd say do read the warnings before hand) and it was overall very interesting and fun as always. The writing is really clever.
The characters are deeply explored and we can see a lot of their vulnerable sides which I really appreciated and seeing them talk about their difficulties and how they relate to that really made me happy as someone who also lives some of them.
I'm really happy that this game was able to be made and will buy the bonus pack and I also can't wait to see more of the creator's content ^^.
Great to get more perspectives and developments with these characters :). Not much makes me laugh aloud, but a mention of king dedede and Glados being hot in their respective circumstances got me snorting. The first game and its sequel are so expertly refined and up to bat with humor (I'm sorry). The story flows just as smooth as the first time around, with properly placed flashbacks and callbacks to the past (and future). Butterfly 1&2 are such comforts in a weathering storm. These games are sweet and savory, like if soup tasted good with cream puffs. (That makes no sense??) The controversial topics of conversation and identity bring home some of the core themes of being comfortable in one's skin and kind to yourself, as the world changes, yet stays the same. I'm still holding out to wear Min's jacket one day so I can be half as cool n' confident. I'll be sure to follow any future projects if any arise, Soup related or not.
Seeing the characters again after a long time was such a delight! Akarsha has been my favorite character since the first game, and I love her story in this one! Not to mention very relatable too <3
One thing i very much adore is how the writing is just as fun as the first game is, the humor got me actually laughing out loud and the character interactions are natural as always! I love these gay girls a lot, thank you so much for making this game!!
wow! what a lovely surprise to have a sequel after so many years. the original story connected with me a lot and I love how this one has matured and deepened. amazing stuff!! and I can't believe I almost missed the after-credits scene!!
I fell off my chair in surprise when I saw this, playing the first game in year 9 I have only fond memories of it. This one's taken a risky step I actually think payed off.
Feel like 2 takes a lot more "controversial" topics (Min's entire arc *no spoilers*) but they all assist in building characters and tying in side characters that didn't mean all that much before. Really related to Noelle's bit specifically. Nice job once again.
Another great visual novel! You are talented. I love the lgbt theme. This and the first Butterfly Soup warmed my heart, and made me laugh at times. I hope you continue writing.
Absolutely wonderful sequel. Just as funny, relatable, heartbreaking, and excellently written as the original Butterfly Soup. Absolutely delighted to see an Akarsha and Noelle-focused story, their characters shone so well and the epilogue was SO funny and cute. In addition to being well-written and having really great dialogue and characters, both of these games are very well designed in a visual sense and are a pure delight to experience from start to finish. I also don't think I realized before that it takes place in 2009, which is the same year I was in 9th grade, so the nostalgia factor is very, very real. I also have memories of going to the park to film a dumb video for a project and bonding over Ryan Higa videos.
Both of these games are among the very top tier of visual novels I've ever played, and I play a lot of them. It's good shit. I kind of want to replay it right away. :)
this isn't rly an issue that the game dev can fix, it's a challenge with the downloading rather than the game files, but you might find more help at https://itch.io/board/10023/questions-support. If you have a vpn, turn it off. the server for your region might be processing a lot of requests, so try to download during weird hours or it might be reliability issue that you'll have to wait a couple days to get fixed.
you can also try clicking this button, check the box that says 'enable alternate download mode'. if none of this helps, i had a lot of google hits for 'itchio failed network error'. also there's a web port now so you dont need to download! https://brianna-lei.itch.io/butterfly-soup-2-webandroid-ports
The web port still needs to download the game. It’s just that it doesn’t download it persistently. And well, it can postpone downloading some things, primarily music such that the initial download is only half the the games size (yes, half the game sizes is just music)
holy cow girl, you're an amazing writer. Thank you so much for helping me pry my own stunted emotions from the onion of my heart (It's got layers, Donkey).
I wish I knew people like these, or if your games are any indication maybe even you, growing up.
You captured the pain SO....perfectly. I hope you captured the real happiness too, because I want to feel how I feel right now for the rest of my life.

Hey! I was able to access some settings where I could change the font. How do I get back to it?
when i try to download, it takes like a really long time just for this to show up. ive tried multiple times and i don't know how to fix it
this isn't rly an issue that the game dev can fix, it's a challenge with the downloading rather than the game files, but you might find more help at https://itch.io/board/10023/questions-support.
