About the game
What you do in a play session
Whoa, what a wild night! You wake up in a dark room, head pounding, only remembering a wild night at a club with a mysterious stranger. Turning on the lamp reveals the stark reality: you're trapped in a tiny room with a bed, a nightstand, a wall clock, and a backpack on the floor. The door is padlocked, and your only way out is to find the key!
"The Butterfly Collector" is a solo game that throws you headfirst into a horror and suspense adventure, in a 'choose your own adventure' style. Its beauty lies in how the rules are explained as you play, making it easy to pick up and dive straight into the action. The goal is to escape this confinement before dawn, and time is tracked by rolling a die and advancing on a track. Every decision you make can either bring you closer to freedom or drag you deeper into danger, with good or bad outcomes that can end the game in a flash. It's a print-and-play game, perfect for those who enjoy a quick, immersive experience with a dash of luck and plenty of tension!
