Aaaah both my roommate and I were playing this and stopping every few seconds to tell eachother what was going on. This was so much fun and so cute, I wish I had access to something like this earlier on in life when I was coming to term withs my own sexuality!! Some of the scenes hit a little hard, especially the ones with parents, but all in all it was amazing and you had great messages sprinkled in. The art is wonderful and the dialogue was really fun, I'll definitely play through this again!

I LOVE this game. The writing is amazing and so realistic. Thank you so much for crafting this master piece!!

(+2)

OH MY GOD!  THIS GAME IS TOO ADORABLE! I'm only a little in it, but I absolutely love it!  I can't wait to play more! I made a video, hope you enjoy it, and more to come.

holy shit this game is my life. please tell me you're planning on making more gay ass games like these because if you do, I will grant you three wishes

love the game . great artwork and love how each character  in the story has thy own style. <3

Wow. This game is simply remarkable. I laughed so damn much until I could laugh no more! Saw a semblance of my own parents in there, and my own struggles growing up with these feelings. A very heartwarming game, absolutely worth a purchase. Thank you for making this game <33

F me this is good. 

Smart, heartfelt, made me feel lots of things, and of course the art is great. Character designs are expressive & unique, and the paint-over backgrounds are gorgeous and ingenious. Perfectly paced and full of wit. 

Definitely better than Pom. So much better.

When the subtitles for what Diya's been saying this whole time popped up. The feels train.

Very impressive VN, was a really nice surprise, thank you!

This game is amazing. I love it so much. Cried when it finished, it was super sweet and touching. Thank you so much for making this game.

LOVE THIS GAME IT’S THE BEST SERIOUSLY

Very fun game but I can't save it for some reason. There's always an error popping up.

That's really odd, what does the error say? Could you check if it's a permission problem? If the user is using a guest account or something that doesn't have write permission to wherever the save directory is located something like this might happen. 

It says:

An exception has occured

While running game code:

(game code information)

Full traceback:

Basically it's saying that no save location is found and I don't believe that's your game's fault because it's happened on other renpy games as well. I'm just unsure of how to fix the error.

Yikes! Yeah, I've seen people have this issue on other renpy games before. Could you try this? 
1) Delete the game folder
2) Delete your saves (they are usually in your /user/ folder)
3) Re-Extract the game into a new folder

(+1)

Done. Thank you so much for your help! The game is incredible so far btw!

I don't know if your still on here or making video games, (30 days can change a lot) but is there anyway I could get in contact with you like email or social media? I have visions for what you could create

(+3)

So, I made this account, without finishing this game, just to inform you that the (first?) locker room scene had me laughing so brazenly loud and hard.  And then  that audio kicked in...and it broke me (I'm still laughing and in tears).  

You're bloody hilarious and brilliant, and I hope you get as good a response with Butterfly Soup as you really deserve.

this is probably the best visual novel i have played so far. since both art and story are good, it makes it perfect.

Sorry to hear you're running into this, this is caused by older/outdated graphics card drivers! Could you check if your graphics card drivers are up to date? Also, certain older graphics cards like the Intel HD Graphics Family card won't be able to display those parts of the game. If you're using that, you'll have to play on another computer :( 

(+2)

Sorry if I don't say too much but man, I loved this game, I have not finished it yet but already love all of it. I will give it promo in my Tumblr so more people can play this beautiful game.

i love baseball, i'm gay, this was perfect for me. it was so good and i love the characters and their dynamic so much, sometimes with a group of friends there's at least one dynamic between two of them that isn't fleshed out at all but the whole group is so great... i cried a little too... thank you for this sweet lovely game...

i also laughed guiltily about going into baseball for oofuri because that's... literally my favourite anime and made me appreciate baseball even more. also really liked the rules explanations for the game proper! it was cool trivia.

oh! and! i keep editing this post sjhghfg i really loved that diya had visible hair on her arms, as a fuzzy person myself i looooved the detail. she's so cute...

I saw the hairs on Diya too!!! Typically I don't see them on characters, but I was happy to. It made me feel better about myself (:

(+1)

Oh my god, I loved this game so much! I can relate to most of it in some way, and the characters just made it much more interesting! The story was unique and all in all I just loved the gameplay. I laughed at all the little memes too lmao, THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT GAME TO PLAY! I'll be looking forward to any other games that you'll be making! And I really also hope you'll consider maybe a series or something like that? Also, I was very much close to crying at the end :')

(+2)

literally created this account exclusively to tell you how much I adored this game, i thought the humour was perfect (i have 20+ screenshots saved on my laptop now) and all of the characters were so loveable right from the start - I would LOVE to see more of these characters in the future!! :^)

(+2)

this game was really excellent!!! 

i love ALL of the main characters dearly and the humour got a lot of chuckles out of me... this was such a sweet and well put together experience...

also as a fellow ren'py user i was rly impressed with how you implemented so many pretty transitions and GUI stuff... i've really gotta learn how to do that better myself LMAO

(+1)

I finished this game in one sitting and I absolutely love it. It's funny and the art is amazing. And yes, I cried at the ending.

I literally made an account just so I could tell you how much I love this game. It has the perfect balance of comedy and angst, so  that it becomes realistic and relatable. I mean, I've probably done more than half of the stupid shit Akarsha does and Min's childhood is one I'm very familiar with. Each of the characters had stength and weaknesses, none of them being completely good and righteous (except maybe Diya, that cinnamon roll) which gave an interesting dynamic to their friendship. Also, Noelle and Akarsha are OTP material, no matter what anyone says.

Hi! I recently finished reading through this visual novel, and boy was it an amazing experience. It didn't take me that long to get attached to the characters and found myself dying from laughter every 5 minutes or so. Thank you for making such a wholesome and pure game about girls loving girls. It's really nice to see more stuff like this. 

Please consider making more Butterfly Soup! I would love to see more of these girls.

(+1)

Wow, just finished the whole thing in one sitting. Maybe the most I've ever gotten invested in the characters of a Visual Novel, and some really gorgeous artwork. Also probably the most I've related to a game in a while, which is a rare thing. Thank you for making this, it's really amazing.

(+1)

Thank you for this wonderful game! I'm an Asian lesbian & this really spoke to my own experiences. Love these girls so much!

(+1)

This game is beautiful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Keep up the great work

Literally created an account on this site so I could come on here and tell you how  much I LOVE Butterfly Soup

Right from the beginning, it felt polished and professional. I felt like I could trust the direction you were taking it and I could trust that it was worth my time. It is beautiful and technically works well.  That gave it a really solid foundation.

As I played, it didn't take me long to get fully invested in all the characters. The dialogue had me laughing so hard I had to send screencaps to my friends because I NEEDED someone else to understand how brilliant it was. I really appreciated the memes (aND THE OOFURI REFERENCE THANK YOU THAT'S MY FAV MANGA/ANIME EVER). The integration of the Matt Mulholland recorder version of 'My Heart Will Go On" was ABSOLUTE perfection and I need everyone to experience those scenes klajhfdlkshfdls

As the plot progressed, I started realizing how real the characters felt in both their strengths and their hurts. They were damaged and flawed. All of the main group were facing some pretty dark stuff in their personal lives with different reactions: denial, anger, resignation, fear. I swear I've heard some of my own friends almost exactly echo some of the characters' lines - especially Akarsha's. (I won't go into detail to save from spoilers in case anyone who hasn't played is reading this!) 

I completed this a couple days ago and haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I've gone back to read through certain parts again and I've recommended it to my friends. It was just the mix of endearing and emotionally resonant that I needed right now.

Oh. And it was super gay. And that was great.

Definitely recommend this to anyone considering it. Also, if you can, pay the $5 and get the extra sketches!! Totally worth it. I found it super interesting and there were some very cute sketches mY HEART  (and of course the bonus of supporting the artist is a huge plus eyyyyy)

Anyway -- I love this, your work is important and kind and good and has brought me a lot of joy. I can see that you put a lot of heart and hard work into it and I'm so grateful. Thank you for what you do.

It was wonderful. Thanks so much for making something like this. I love your art style and I thought for the most part the pacing was fantastic. It felt a little rushed at the end in my opinion because I am a sucker for angst (though it totally ticked all the boxes for that), but I totally understand how much effort and time story building takes, not to mention adding art and keeping it interactive. 

The characters were well rounded and I've could see both Diya and Noelle facing struggles that I have seen my partner dealing with in terms of their home life on top of sexuality/gender ID/general friendships/parental expectations. With my background I don't really think twice about it because I bailed as soon as I could, for them there's a whole other layer of pressure I struggle to comprehend and stories like this help a lot. 

I LOVED the friendship developments and dynamic a LOT. Also Diya being hard of hearing was cool to see, being a anxious mess because or in part due to not hearing well/just being that way as a person is something I've struggled with since I was younger. 

 Will be keen to sink more money into any of your future projects! Especially if they're this gay and sweet. If there is a next time, I should be in a better financial position to pay more than the fiver. #studentdebt

Its 3:30 am at the moment, finished the game at 3 am and took 30 minutes to soak it all in. This hit me hard with how relatable it is(especially the parental issues, and of course, the gay). Thanks for making this game, it did wonders for me emotionally.

Just finished this, and it was so great. From the description, I was expecting some short silly lighthearted yuri baseball game with memes (which would have been perfectly fine!) but was so delighted and impressed by how fleshed out the characters and story were. You really nailed that perfect mix of cuteness, awkwardness, angst, and humour that makes for a really memorable coming-of-age story. I'm Indian and queer, and was also a teen around this same time, so this was basically a huge throwback that gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings. I hope you continue to make art and meaningful stories, because your voice is so important and needed!

i just finished this game and i felt so compelled by it i had to make an account to express how beautifully expressed this project is, from the flow of conversation to the interactive art scenes. i'm a non-asian poc but a lot of the themes (like gender nonconformity, dealing with restrictive parents and lying all the time, and hiding fears behind bad humor) just made me connect to each character when going through their storylines; everything felt so linear and real and by the end of it i felt like tearing up haha.

thank you so much for giving life to this project and sharing it with us; i swear as soon as i have 5$ to spare i'm buying the pdf because 1) the art is really really fantastic and 2) i really really love all these girls. i enjoyed it a lot and don't regret spending my afternoon playing it instead of studying!!!!

Thanks so much for going out of your way to post this, reading comments like these mean a lot to me!! I'm so glad you connected with the themes and enjoyed it!!

Hello!

I am really interested in this game, but I'm having trouble with the download file T_T

When I opened the zip file and tryed to extract, there's a message saying:  "Unable to find the local header" for the ButterflySoup.exe. Can you help me? I really want to plaaaaaaaaaaaaaay T_T

Hey, I'm sorry to hear you're running into this! Could you try re-downloading the zip file from the website? If it still doesn't work, if you're using WinZip to extract the file, you may want to try using 7-Zip instead. Also, which version of the game are you trying to extract (PC, Linux, Mac)?

Hello! 

I tried re-downloading twice but it still gives me the same message. :( 

I'm using Winzip, I'll try 7-Zip maybe it will work. I downloaded the PC version, my pc is from the brand Dell. I really hope I can play it. My friend played the game and he said it was awesome!

Thank you for replying.

oh man i was in a really Bad Place but one of my friends rec'd this game and playing it was the Best Decision i've made in a long time. thank you so so much for this ; w ;  i'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put into this. i laughed a lot and shrieked at several lines and scenes. it was so Good and Very Relatable!! i absolutely adore the characters especially noelle and akarsha??? together and separately!! i Love them!! So Much! i told other friends about the game and i hope they give it a go and love it just as much

i don't think i've been this inspired in a long time but gosh,,i just. //thank you// 
butterfly soup made me really happy and i'm inspired and motivated to work on my original stuff again ; w ; 

I'm glad I was able to make a difference and inspire you!! You're very welcome, thank you for commenting and playing my game!!! 

Fuck. This is,,,so good,,,???? wtf??? I finished it in one sitting? Its five am and I dont even regret it????

I love this. so.  much.

Goddamn.
I thought that it would be more focused on the romance, but... all the friendship? Heck yeah.
(The skate part fucking killed me. I loved every single CG, the art is so good. The soundtrack was out of this world. I had to try to muffle myself while playing because I was laughing and didnt want to wake anyone up.)
Good stuff. 10/10.

OH GOD 5 am..I'm so glad you don't regret it!! Thanks for playing!!

this is so good i love this, i love every single girl soooo much. i might have actually cried at the min chapter. it's so good!!!!!!!! thank you for this!!!!!

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it!!!!!

10/10 diya can pet my dog

also @ everyone that worked on this game i love you

Thanks for the kind words! ^^

Thank you so much for making this game!! I'm an Gaysian American who grew up in and still lives in a largely Asian American community, and it's kind of alarming how much of this resonated with me. Diya and the rest of the girls remind me of my own friend group, and it's so wonderful to see us represented like this--it feels like going back home in the best way: sweet and silly and familiar. I had an absolute blast playing the game and laughed myself to tears more times than I can count. All of the characters were so colorful and memorable, and I loved that they were all allowed to be silly and dumb and angry. Thank you for sharing this game!! It definitely made my month ^^/

You're welcome, I'm glad I improved your month!! 

My best friend recommended this to me, and I could. not. put. it. down. It was so fun and sweet, and was so realistic! I was texting BFF throughout saying things like OMG US and LOL YOU. It was really cute, and I really enjoyed it! I have already passed it on to other friends, hope they have as much fun as I did!

Yesss I'm glad you liked it so much!!! Thanks for passing it on to other friends TT_TT

this is one of the best VNs i've ever played oh my god. It's so relatable it hurts, especially that painfully accurate weeb chatspeak and the "a healthy relationship with your parents? what's that?"

i'm canadian, but the experience is still so real lmao. especially the "holy shit white people!!" feel because i totally grew up in an asian elementary school and had the same reaction to seeing a bunch of white people for the first time haha

thank you so much for bringing this game to life. it's everything i've ever wanted in a VN and more. i probably won't be able to stop talking about this for the next two months

I'm glad it was so relatable!! You're welcome, thank you for the kind comment!

Just want to say thanks for this game, that was one of the best experiences for me this year, like, wow. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're really, really good at it!

You're welcome, I'm glad it improved your year, even by a bit!! I'll do my best!!
