I was 17 when I first played the first Butterfly Soup game. It was on a stream date with a woman I had just begun dating - a woman who years later would become my fiancée.
I cracked open this new title and was instantly greeted with a wave of nostalgia. The same charm from the first game was still present, just with even more polish now. I feel like I am back in that silly date. We played that whole first game in one sitting - I remember so vividly sitting on the futon of my childhood home giggling at the characters’ antics with the love of my life on the phone.
I’m closing the game now, not even five minutes into it. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I want to wait to like it. I’m going to wait until I can enjoy this with my fiancée. I will update this review when that time comes. I just wanted to thank you, Brianna Lei, for the wonderful memories and cozy feelings you’ve brought me and my fiancée.
edit: Hey [: We finally played and finished the game. It was a very enjoyable experience that had us rolling in all sorts of emotions. A lot of the story beats really resonated with me as an Asian American lesbian. The writing is really wonderful - my fiancée and I were particularly amused by the callbacks to various parts of the script (both within the BS2 script and even some nods to the BS1 script!). So, in full earnest, thank you Brianna for another wonderful experience [:
LETS GOOOO!!!! Butterfly soup has to be in my top 5 favorite games off all time (and certainly the game I wont shut up about the most) If you can, you should give some money, it'll be worth it!
