this game was such a serotonin boost. the first game actually helped me realize i was non-binary back in high school, and seeing these characters again warms my heart so much. thank you for the game <3
I took yesterday at 3 (the second it came out) to right now at this very second to finish it cause I didn't wanna finish it to fast... I ABSOLUTY LOOOOVED IT AAAAAAAAAAAA THE ENDING IS SO FING STUPID I LOOOVE ITTTTTTT EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS AMAZING.. thank you for making such wonderful games :)
the game is amazing, the wait was honestly so worth it!! i finished playing it yesterday and i'm still not over it. i'm probably gonna play it again later, maybe even a third time when i'm done. the first game is such a precious memory to me, and it helped me figure out so many things at a young age. i'll be eighteen in just two weeks and i feel so euphoric seeing these characters again. i didn't realize i missed them so much!! i immediately had to create an account so i could leave a comment. the pee pee ketchup man nation won today. i'm so curious about how the confession went though DSJFHGJF
i hope we'll get the art assets like we did for the first game!! i love making edits so that'd be great. i can't donate right now but i'll be sure to as soon as i can, because this game sure deserves it. thank you for sharing it with us <3
God, what can I even say except that I've been waiting for this for a long time and it did not disappoint- I loved all the details in the art book as well and seeing Akarsha's and Noelle's relationship evolve, I loved the first chapter and always came back to reread it for comfort. it dives into a lot of topics that are hard to discuss and I find that really neat that Ester brought up that it's hard to capture everything perfectly- you just gotta do your best, and that people make mistakes. just!! wow!!!!!!!!!!! just a lot of relatable feelings from the first to the second chapter. my heart soars for this game. thank you for a masterpiece! the ending was so sweet too!
The first game I played when I was still in high school, and I think it left such a huge impact because it not only was the first game where I was like... "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE WTF" but it was also around the time where I was just transitioning from this like... "I'm not good enough, I have to get all this academic success and go to this perfect college" mentality to a "I'm not perfect but I'm still gonna be okay as I go at my own pace" kind of mentality. And now, 5 years later, I'm in college and things still aren't totally okay. Esp stuff like, communication, when it comes to my mom especially. But it used to be like, MUCH worse. So GOD playing through this sequel hit me like a truck FR FR
Just wanna say thank you again. Idk what kind of magic sauce you have going on but GOD the writing is just so on point I feel like I just got swept in some emotional rollercoaster
I loved this game so so much, its better than I hoped. The music was incredible as well. What is the name of the song that plays at the very end, at the assembly?
This is a really emotional series for me. I played the first game in middle school, and now I'm in my senior year of high school. Both times these games have been linked to an aspect of my identity that I'm not as secure in, and made me feel okay with not knowing everything yet. I missed all the characters so much, and Min's talk about their gender reflected how I feel about my own identity in a way I never thought I'd see. Most of all, I adore the epilogues. I love seeing these characters truly happy.
The short version is that these games are deeply personal to me and I'm so happy you've made them. 10/10, will play again :P
Such an amazing game, well worth waiting for! I was so happy laughing and falling in love (again) with such relatable characters! Really touched on a lot of topics that happen in life and made the "learning" part of each so heartwarming, my soul feels warm and fuzzy after this game just like before <3
I can't find words to express how much I loved this game, it truly exceeded my expectations so hARD. I cried, laughed, screamed just like I did with the first game, I'm most likely going to replay it all week, I can't get enough of it. I loved all the interactions between the characters, and how every character has their own struggles and conflicts and is unique in the way they respond to problems. I love all these characters so much.
*SPOILERS*
Also, as a non-binary lesbian, I would like to add that I cried SO HARD at the part where Min talks about her experience, I just felt so represented and I was so happy to see people like me shown in media, which doesn't happen often, if ever.
*End of spoilers lol*
I only have one question to ask Brianna Lei, would it be okay for me to get the butterfly of the icon tattoed? I've been thinking about doing it for 2 years now but I'm not sure if you'd be okay with that, I doubt you'll see this but I would really like to carry a piece of this game in my body for my whole life, just like I'll carry it in my heart.
Lastly, thank you (all of the team) for making such a wonderful game, I truly loved it.
I can't believe that this game made me cry (I can believe it actually, noelle is just so relatable, plus yeah, the metro in Taipei is fantastic! love the sounds and music cues they use when the trains pull in!), but damn you knocked it out of the park again!
Really hope we get to see Butterfly Soup 3 in the future, where our gang of no-longer-kids gain more exp with life and come to bridge their differences with their parents... but that just might be the old fart in me talking. Being that kid before, and growing into a person that, somehow, fortunately is good friends with my parents is such a nice thing, and damn if I didn't want these characters and other people irl to have that, too, if possible.
Thanks for making this awesome game and experience!
This is game of the year to me. These characters are still so well-realized, maybe even better now than in the first game. What a fantastic story that I'm so glad to have experienced.
this is my favorite game of the year. butterfly soup 1 gave me such brilliant memories with my friends and i still hold min's gun that shoots a gun that shoots a knife as one of my favorite gaming moments ever. butterfly soup 2 has so much nuance. like. wow these characters grow and develop and have so much love for each other! they make each other better! they are all so good together! the ending is incredibly touching and lovely and gives me so much joy and hope for the world. gonna be thinking about this for a very long time. maybe somewhere down the road a few weeks later i might binge play both games in a day. it's a game worth replaying!
(spoiler: love the detail at the end where they use 'they' pronoun for min it's lovely. sorry ! spoilers haha. hope i didn't read that wrong it was a super fleeting detail but it's great.) in love with all the characters. thank you brianna lei!
Whoaza!!! I'm so glad this sequel tracked on more issues or topics on issues!! It made me so happy, especially getting to see the relationship between cultures, parents.. Or how things could've turned out in ways?? I don't know what to say!! I'm actually speechless, more than wordy!! o_o so cool!! SO GOOD!!
It’s actually under Briannas profile. So clicking on “View all by Brianna Lei” or searching for her, or actually just searching for Butterfly Soup 2 should do it.
I laughed, related, and cried all at the same time. Thank you Brianna for another game that I thoroughly enjoyed, and thank you for the additional art book with the 5 dollars!!! I love your art, please continue to do what you do best <3

I got so excited when I saw the notification for this!! Been waiting so long ahhhh! Excited to play this tomorrow, thank you!
I loved this game so so much, its better than I hoped. The music was incredible as well. What is the name of the song that plays at the very end, at the assembly?
this is everything ive been waiting for, an amazing experience, i wish i could experience it anew a thousand times over
I cried like five times from the beginning of Noelle's segment to the end. What a wonderful way to end these characters' stories.

edit: added some personal exp as context.
as much as I'd love a butterfly soup 3 I feel like this ending was a nice note to end on. A little epilogue comic would be fantastic though
that would be fair, seeing how life goes on and stuff sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't.
that's the beauty of it, isn't it? : )
Every bit as amazing as the first game. I love these girls so much <3
This is game of the year to me. These characters are still so well-realized, maybe even better now than in the first game. What a fantastic story that I'm so glad to have experienced.
I've been looking forward to this sequel for so long and it does not disappoint. My face hurts from smiling.
