About This Game IntroductionOlive Village... that was the name of this town, as well as this world.This otherworldly town has a nostalgic, retro-like flavor.For ages, it has prospered, and continues to prosper without end.Every corner of the place is bustling with people, and warmth.It is both old-fashioned, yet refreshingly new.Neither magic nor spells exist here, but there is an aura of mystique.How long has it been since I, Yumesaki Haruki, have come to this world?It feels like it's been a few days. But it also feels like it's been over a year.There is the passing of the day into night, back into day.However, you don't feel the passage of time beyond that.The flowers that have once blossomed continue to stay in full bloom.Characters"A Butterfly in the District of Dreams" is the first visual novel release by Japanese developer, Life A Little.

An interesting story with interesting characters and interesting themes is hindered by a weak protagonist and seriously stunted by an incomplete ending.Presentation: Character art is good in my opinion. Backgrounds aren't particularly interesting. In "the real world," the backgrounds are simply fuzzy real-world pictures, while in Oriibugai they're proper drawn art. It's a nice contrast. I like the soundtrack; it's mostly piano which I'm a fan of. There are a few audio issues, though: I had to turn the BGM way down to hear the characters, and sometimes a character will have a couple lines that are far quieter than normal, or they're missing completely.Mechanics: The VN shakes things up ever-so-slightly here. There's a universal "common route," then there's a section where you can pick between one of the three heroines to see an "episode" or vignette surrounding them. After enough of these, you'll wind up on her route. In addition to this there are two distinct dialog choice moments, but neither matters very much in comparison. It's mostly picking a heroine to focus on, and then just reading the scene.Story: The store page isn't very clear here, so here's the premise: Haruki lives a bleary life, taking care of his ailing grandmother, visiting his hospital-bound sister, and doing all of the housekeeping while his parents are away at work. A series of events involving a childhood friend finds them both on a mysterious train that takes them to Oriibugai, an otherworldly town where the main street runs for kilometers. With no way back home, the two of them settle into life there, and Haruki finds himself spending more and more time with three heroines, with the chance to develop a deeper relationship with one of them.The main characters are Haru, his sister Anzu, the three heroines (Ai, Yurika, and Riko), another guy named Ren, and a Japanese god (who's also a young girl near Haru's age) named Sayuka who inhabits a shrine. All of them are pretty unique. Anzu is frail but always happy to see her younger brother. Ai is particularly interesting, in that she seems like she's on the spectrum: she's almost always expressionless, speaks largely emotionlessly and during an early scene when someone tells her to "smile more," Haru thinks something like "It's not like she won't, more like she can't." Yurika is the proprieter of Kochouran (a coffee shop Haru finds himself working for), upbeat yet business-conscious. Riko is a young girl, hyper and loud, and honestly a little obnoxious at times (as a child can be). Ren is mechanically inclined and fiercely devoted to Kochouran: he skirts the edge of "tsundere" occasionally, but is honestly a bit too harsh for that. And Sayuka is quirky and carefree, cooking up schemes to get people to pay for charms or prayers while also being a largely benevolent influence. They bounce off of each other well. Sayuka's pretty close to the star of the show in my eyes; her voice itself is a little goofy-sounding, she'll randomly drop into English for an idiom or two, and whenever she appears a characteristic (and characteristically quirky sounding) track begins to play.The origins of this "otherworldly town" are not immediately clear. There are a few other differences in terms of realities (like the idea that time doesn't flow here), and there's a little bit of discussion on the logistics of these differences, but it takes a backseat to the main experience of the VN. The heroine episodes tend to follow a gentle progression (stronger for the later ones), but a number of them are self-contained slice-of-life moments that deal as much with the coffee shop and associated hijinks as the individual heroine (one of them sees Riko building a bug collection, with the bugs escaping and terrorizing a certain other member of the group who hates bugs).Where there is a progression in the episodes, it's largely tailored to a heroine. Riko's scenes for example deal with her being overly childish, with the rest of the group trying to settle her down. Ai's tend to be related to her attraction for Haru and getting him to see that (you know, the childhood friend trope). Yurika's largely self-actualized already so her scenes don't necessarily involve growth on her part (and it's a strength of the VN that she's still interesting despite this).The individual heroine routes are where things get interesting. I'll avoid spoilers, but the "otherworldly nature" of the town becomes a main focus again as stakes start to increase. If I were to rank them I'd say Riko<Ai<Yurika. Setting aside the squick factor, Riko's route does okay leading up to the ending, but the ending feels like a bit of a cop-out, quite frankly. Ai's route reveals more details about the town, but otherwise is fairly standard. Yurika's is arguably the "true route" and unquestionably the most interesting: the stakes eclipse those in the other routes completely, and a character who previously seemed genuinely good or well-meaning reveals a more troublesome nature. It has a problem however, one that's made all the more egregious by it's status as the "true route": it's incomplete. It ends with a great twist, but then the story ends with "To be continued in [name of the sequel]." The story ends with that character halfway through their arc, and with the nature of the town not completely elucidated. It wouldn't be so bad if the sequel were available, but it's not on Steam, and I don't see anything online about it being translated. This VN came out in 2017, so there's been plenty of time for the sequel to be picked up.There's one big criticism I've left out. Haru is the densest idiot in the world. The childhood friend is the most obvious example: before the VN she deliberately failed a test for a prestigious university to enroll in the same one as him, but he has no clue why. During the VN there are plenty of scenes where she does something to get closer to him (like insist that she can't go down the stairs while wearing boots, so she needs to hold his hands) but he totally misses the meaning. At one point, Yurika says, "There's a limit to being dense. It has to be a crime for someone to be this dense. You deserve to be punished for this." The lampshading is humorous, but when it's played straight it gets old. One scene (direct quotes):Heroine: "I like you, Haruki! I love you!! I love you!"........Haruki (thinking): Like? Who? Who's she talking about?Yeah, it's bad.I've avoided talking about the themes of the VN, because they aren't immediately obvious and I don't want to spoil them. However, the story does a good job introducing them, mostly at the beginning during the common route then near the end with the heroine routes. Yurika's route in particular brings one most strongly into focus, though again it's hindered by being arguably incomplete.Was this a good read? Definitely yes. But I hesitate to recommend it with no strings attached. The fact that a sequel is really required to finish the story means you might be better off waiting. On the other hand, lackluster sales here might prevent a sequel from ever appearing...at the very least, know that two out of three routes may not be as good as the final one is (or could be were it finished) but are complete and enjoyable experiences.. This was a nice, but sad in parts, visual novel. The basic premise is that the MC (Yumesaki Haruki) and his friend Tsukibane Ai end up in another world that seems to be in a continuous loop (like Groundhog Day, but a lot nicer). They meet a propieter named Yurika and a bouncing bundle of energy named Riko, and they end up at the coffeehouse run by Yurika. Through a series of choices you can end up with one of these three girls.The paths are interesting, and the one that seems to be the true path is a bit... sad.Anyway, it is worth the read.. Great game, very comfy and satisfying. Definitely worth the purchase.The characters are well-written, the setting is pleasant. Just an all in all fulfilling experience. PS Riko best girl, screw the haters. :P. I absolutely love this game! Looking forward to playing the sequel! :) Yes, this is a well hidden game and I highly recommend this game!!!!.
