Hello everyone, this is Baobaoding STUDIO!
Our independently developed Chinese supernatural suspense puzzle game Cat Carried Butterfly will officially launch on April 28 at 11:00 AM.
The game will be priced at $5.23, with a 10% launch discount for the first two weeks, bringing the discounted price to approximately $4.60. As the weather gets warmer, we hope the game can bring a little “coolness” to your May Day holiday~
Everyone has a fated yao destined for them. A lucky few get to meet theirs and live alongside it. A yao is both a person’s “illness” and their “cure.”
At the same time, we have also updated the online demo. In response to the feedback many of you shared, especially regarding “complicated puzzles” and “cumbersome interactions,” we have made a number of improvements. You’re welcome to update the demo and give it another try. These changes will also be included in the full release.
- Puzzle adjustments: We have added more hints and simplified some puzzles.
- Interaction improvements: We have streamlined some interactions that previously felt too cumbersome.
- Dialogue bubble adjustment: The default interaction has been changed from “auto-skip after 3 seconds” to manual skip, to prevent accidental taps or missing important dialogue.
- Clue Notes optimization: To better match players’ reading habits, we have adjusted the reading order of the Clue Notes from left to right, making the story easier to follow.
However, because some save point placements have been changed, progress from the demo cannot be carried over to the full release. Thank you for your understanding.
The demo will remain available until the game officially launches on April 28, when it will be taken offline. If you still want to try it, please make sure to download and play it before then. We are also continuing to collect feedback, so if you have thoughts to share, you are very welcome to join our player group (Group No. 830807333) and talk to us directly.
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported *Xian Die* all along—the release date has finally been set!
From that initial idea to today’s release, we’ve faced many unexpected setbacks and challenges throughout the production process.
This may not be a perfect work, but it is the most authentic expression we could possibly offer. *Butterfly’s Embrace* carries all our sincerity—the history of this apartment building, the forgotten and twisted emotions—and we can finally present it to you in its entirety. These stories of obsession, love, and the refusal to let go even after loss can finally be seen.
The two of us, together with our big cat and little cats at home, would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has followed and supported the game, especially all the players who joined the tests, tried the demo, and gave us such valuable feedback.
Thank you for staying with us.
We also hope that this time, you’ll stay with us through the end of this story and uncover the truth behind the mist.
