About this game
Get comfortable, put your headphones and dive into a butterfly's dream
A Butterfly's Dream is an experience to contemplate and relax. There are no enemies, there are no goals, no rush. Just fly around, take some pics and enjoy a beautiful stylized world.
The Zen Koan Series
A Butterfly's Dream is based on a Zen Koan about Master Chuang Tzu, a great Taoist philosopher. A Koan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement which is used in Zen practice to provoke the "great doubt" and to practice or test a student's progress in Zen.
