A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Description:

Among green fields and blue skies, Donna and Samantha meet up together on one sunny morning to get away from the world and to get out in the fresh, open air. Yet, not everything is easy-breezy when lighthearted conversation turns into petty bickering between the two girls.

Wanting to distract herself from the tense quarrel at hand, Samantha decides to pick up a net to catch some butterflies along the way on their hike through fields of nature. By the end of their journey, however, she comes to question her friendship with Donna when her so-called friend continues to cut her down every chance she gets.

Will Donna and Samantha eventually see eye-to-eye and set their differences aside, or will their friendship finally deteriorate and collapse once and for all? Between lashing out and breaking down, Donna and Samantha will need more than mere butterfly catching games to bridge the gap between them and find true understanding between one another at the end of the day.

The question remains—will they? Only they can answer that for themselves.
