Unable to deal with the aftermath of what happened in her home town of Rzekiva, Amelia Morrison leaves for the city to try and pick up the pieces of what’s left. 

The routine of every day life is comfortably numbing in its monotony, but no matter how much she tries to suppress them, the memories of that town always resurface. Despite the pain they cause, their persistence reveal that the events that transpired in Rzekiva may not have been what they seem.

As Amelia peels back the layers, the world around her starts to spiral and she alone stands in the middle of it all. Trust and truth become scarce commodities.

Butterfly//Circuit is set in the New European Federated Economic Territory (NEFET) in the grey city of Centropol. Surveillance, resource extraction and the policing of bodies are nothing if not the norm within the concrete grid, but Amelia has bigger things to worry about. Networks of conspiracy, hidden passages, and lost technoccultures permeate the the fabric of Centropol, and Morrison has to cut through the threads.

Crossing paths with faces both new and old, Amelia has to choose wisely who to trust, and who to keep at arms length. 


From up and coming solo developer WireWARE with guidance from the MVU, Butterfly//Circuit is a cybergothic kinetic visual novel featuring a twisting drama laced with psychological horror inspired by the likes of Serial Experiments Lain, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, and the works of David Lynch.

Butterfly//Circuit creates a dark and tense reading experience supported by original art and an originally composed soundtrack featuring a variety of music ranging from pumping techno and chill trip-hop, to moody post-rock and atmospheric drones.

I now understand the point of visual novels. As good as the writing is the music and art are essential for this experience. As much as I want to kill you for the sudden ending, I need you alive to finish this

The atmosphere feels like a memory,the drawn visuals really sell the feeling of like a shithole small town, the melancholic trip hop soundtrack is straight up stellar and as good as what i presume is it's influences and the characters are intruiging and likable. The ending is really dread inducing in like a david lynch kind of way and really makes me look forward the whole story. Though for me this game is just cool as hell i am certain for some people this game is gonna be one of those life shattering media's . Straight up inspiring
