Akarsha's so much like me it's scary....and sad...
Let me just say:
I just finished playing the game and I LOVE IT SO MUCH, now ill download the sequel
I wanted to play this loooong time ago like back in 2021, but wasnt sure if i should download the game on a pc shared with my sister but now i was finally able to do it and i dont regret it ToT the game was so sweet
If we just removed that one guy on our group, it would most-likely turn out like this. (Romance, basketball, asian girls who are mostly close to each other-) Not to mention but the story that our group made and played out had the guy rejected by the girl love interest because she had a boyfriend ToT (who was played by a girl because we lacked men)
I feel like a gay girl now
Great, but it would be nice if it could be longer. It's not enough to see ah ah ah (shouting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this game omg
the humor in this is so funny i actually laughed at every five sentences, it might be one of the best vns in the world to this day
theyre the peakest gays ive ever read in a visual novel
One of, if not the greatest videogames I have ever played.
This game covered several topics to a really really good degree, with realistic dialogue to boot.
I hope that a 3rd game gets made soon!!
Just the art style is enough to give me aids
ofc it's the game with the gay ppl you said gave you aids 😭
Your point? Because as far as I know they are the ones who get the biggest amounts of AIDS spreading ratings out there, aside of relationship violence and promiscuity.
my brother in christ you're lucky i didn't call you out for being the dude who said "if this isn't porn then it's worthless" on love is strange going on a game with freshmen in high school 🤨
(anyway ima stop responding, I am not admitting defeat, simply just don't wanna talk to an actual homophobe, especially not on a novel as good as this one lolol😊)
First off, "Peach", curb your tongue. "You're lucky I didn't do this to you", do what? The fuck you are? You're a nobody piece of shit, a filthy asshole with an overinflated ego. Secondly, you can choke yourself with your "christ", I'm no brother of some sexual deviant like you, dick-chugger. Go fuck yourself.
i think you need therapy my guy
i read until the group chat which is when i realized i hadnt laughed once
I’m not finding the game on apple store anymore :(
can you please post it again???
If yes, please add for iOS 12 ! Thanks<3
I was surprised Min seo might be NB, I majorly related to her as a non-conforming person. It's important to highlight not all nb ppl are androgynous and not all androgynous people (or non-fem--or masc--) are nb , some are girls or boys wether trans or not.
this is so adorable, i wish gay people were real
I adored this game, so sweet, and I never see games from this sort of perspective, everything was so nice! (minus the uhhh, yk shit parents part and uhh all the other shit stuff)
So adorable, thank you for filling my little gay heart
literally the best game i've EVER played, we need a bigger fandom!!
i first found this game from gloom, and its been one of my most loved and cherishes games of my childhood. It gave me a way to get out my internal thoughts and feeling by living vicariously (learned that word from noel when i was a kid) through Diya and her struggles to figure herself out. I have yet to play the sequel but i want to, maybe in that one Min Seo and Diya will have that doge dog they always wanted.
every time i had to stop reading i felt like a child having to put down his videogame. there's a sequel too! i feel blessed
ive loved this game since it came out and it got me through quarantine i hope to even get a tattoo based on this one day
SO CUTEEEE
I found this game out of nowhere while trying to find a different game, and I've seen a couple of comments saying this is a great game. but I'm still on the edge if I should play it.
You really should! I played this game when I was younger and browsing this site, it is such a beautiful game with diverse characters and backstories. I spent so many years after playing this game simply thinking about it. So if you're still on the fence about playing it, let this be the final push for you. Theres nothing to lose playing this game, if anything you'll gain from it.
alright, I'll check it out. after you said you found it out when you where younger I checked it's release date, it came out in 2017? I'm surprised I haven't found this game sooner to be honest.
Play it and don't look about it's an important game for every LGBTQ+ member
I know what to say. 👌 good soup.
bruh this game is so good istg
i like this game a normal amount👍
no like this is actually very normal it's just soooo good
exactly 1000 hours or does the counter round it up? anyway you must have left the game running while you were doing other things... for more than a month
Really cute and fun! Love it ^_^
This is undeniably in my top 3 favorite games ever, i got so invested in it, i absolutely love the dynamics and different styles of the characters, I've loved the way min was from the start and i am so insanely happy that i had the opportunity to play this. The dialogue being funny, relatable and sweet with other themes, the fact that it's lesbian (mostly, ik one is bi :3) makes everything so much more better too because i am one and i feel really connected to many aspects of the game. In conclusion, thank you so much for creating this. i won't stop playing it, I'll keep coming back to it, i love it so much. The references and jokes, the way the characters behave and talk, it feels so real and I'm honestly in love with it all, you did an amazing job, it caused me the best crying and laughter I've had in a long, long time <3 :3
I dont understand anything about baseball, but i still love this game anyways
This turned out to be the most emotionally invested i ever got in a video game. I'm infinitely grateful that this exists. Diya, Min, Noelle and Akarsha are the greatest characters, i truly fell in love with everything the two games have to offer. It stirred my heart in the best way possible and made emotions burst out of my chest in a way nothing else did up until now !!
I commented on the this game like a year ago and i'm back, this is like my 7th time replaying this game and it never gets dull!
i relate to akarsha so much its insane..
This game is awesome! I like the plot and the characters are cute too, I will love and remember this game forever<3
This is one of the greatest things on the internet, perhaps only superseded by Katawa Shoujo, and I'm really trying to say something there. The thing I value most about a piece of media is its ability to capture and distill life, and Butterfly Soup meets my one criteria with flying colors. When you can laugh and cry for something, I think that's reason to hold it in high esteem. Please fucking play this game. It's like—the best. Just do it, you won't regret it. Especially if you're a highschooler. And hella gay.
This game is soo fun and good!!!!! 10/10, I first started playing when it was 2020 and immediately fell in love. I love the characters artstyle, humor and just the entiiiiiire game. I'm in love with the sequel too because im a big pee pee ketchup man enthusiast. THANK YOU BRIANNA LEI FOR THIA MASTERPIECE !!11!1!!1!
This game was sooooo good :D
I love it!!! Definitely gonna be one of my comfort games. Thank you so much to everyone who worked hard for this masterpiece <3
THIS GAME IS SO SWEET OMG i'd love to be friends with them
I still can't figure out what the author did to make me laugh at every line until I couldn't catch my breath... (LOVE this game)
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
10/10 this game was amazing! I would most definitely stay up until 2:00 in the morning playing it again
