A short mystery and psychological visual novel. Hook in to a state-of-the-art gaming machine capable of creating whole virtual experiences based on your imagination.

You have received an invitation to the exclusive Fantasia playtesting session.
A whole-consciousness immersion technology that doesn't just bring you the game, but brings you INTO the game.
A group of seven distinguished luminaries from various fields have been invited by the CEO of Asynthesis to try this highly confidential technology for themselves.
But they're not there simply to play. They're there to create.
Create whole worlds, whole universes indistinguishable from the real world, limited only by their imagination.
When the world's geniuses are given free rein to make their own realities, what could possibly go wrong?
🦋~11k words (about 45 minutes of reading time) 🦋A cast of 7 colorful characters 🦋One ending and one unlockable post-epilogue

You are not alone in The Butterfly Dreams,
Meet the other six people, each a peerless luminary in their field:
📚 Renata Mazzini, beloved children's author and peace-bringer
🧠 Juan Salcedo, neurosurgeon of a generation 🍳 Helena Wu, chef of divine culinary creations 🪙 Aaron Montgomery, renowned world banker
💻 Layna Hindoyan Faddoul, programming prodigy
🎮 Sean Fornicue, unbeatable gamer
What kind of universe will they create?

Of course, beneath all the excitement there lurks something darker: plot and intrigue. At least one of your fellow testers might not see Fantasia as a mere gaming apparatus.
If you pay close attention to their words, their actions... then you might just stay one step ahead.
Time to open your eyes and discover what awaits you in the The Butterfly Dreams.
