Natural Disaster (Early Access)

“Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?” –Edward Lorenz, “The Butterfly Effect”

Natural Disaster: A Butterfly’s Guide to Mass Destruction is a slapstick puzzle game with inspiration from point-and-click classics of how one very evil butterfly can bring down an empire. Explore a world through a stereoscope, test your limits as a teeny butterfly in a human’s world, and start chains of cause-and-effect that ripple across the seven scenes to disastrous results.

A SMALL WORLD OF SMALL PUZZLES

Investigate the environment to discover items you can carry, objects you can activate, and places you can land to find how to lead these people to their worst nightmares.

PLAY THROUGH A STEREOSCOPE VIEWER

Explore seven rich 3D locations through the lens of a stereoscope. Follow the characters through paths with multiple endings as your actions in one scene continue in another.

TIME LOOP TRIALS

Upon your death, you find yourself back at the beginning, and all of the humans’ peaceful lives restored. It’s a time loop trap…or an opportunity for new methods.

A BUTTERFLY NEVER FORGETS

Your shenanigans are logged the Scrapbook. It journals everything you’ve learned about your targets across multiple trials and is a guide for what the butterfly might be curious to try next.

HOLD ON…A WIZARD?

In all your exploits, no one seems to notice that it is a butterfly causing their misfortune. But what happens when somebody does?
