These ruins of a lighthouse have brittle bones.

Ocean once surrounded it. You know the stories...
Of a great beautiful oasis where titans came to die.

Grief brought you here.
Now you are trapped in an endless cycle, on a world that is lost to you.

Part horror part interactive poem about overcoming, and bittersweet surrender.

L’arte entra nei videogiochi. Net art, musei e molto altro nelle novità di febbraio 2025
"A Butterfly è una breve poesia interattiva costruita alternando sezioni ambientate in un surreale mondo 3D, un deserto cosparso di scheletri giganti esplorabile volando, a vignette interattive realizzate nel tipico stile di Lawhead."

2025 Is Already A Great Year For Indies
"It’s a beautiful if haunting poem about mourning told through the visual, interactive medium of games, where you — a butterfly — fly through a graveyard of enormous giants stretching their hands out into the sky, interspersed with retro Windows XP-style pop-ups."

“A Butterfly” Game Recommendation — bittersweet poem
“When I played the game A Butterfly, by alienmelon, I found myself ruminating a lot on that limbo between the problem and the result. The time in which you feel stuck, paralyzed, even frozen in time, unable to do anything more than suffer whatever irks you right now.“
