Reviver: Butterfly, the charming narrative game previously slated for a Winter 2024 release, is finally fluttering onto iOS and Android devices on January 17th. While initially announced as simply "Reviver," the mobile versions will launch as "Reviver: Butterfly" and "Reviver: Premium," seemingly identical releases.
For those unfamiliar, Reviver casts you as a subtle force of nature, subtly influencing the lives of two destined lovers to help them find each other. The unique premise keeps the protagonists largely unseen, focusing instead on the evolving relationship as you witness their journey from youth to old age. Its wholesome and intriguing narrative makes it a compelling title.
The slightly delayed release, attributed to a naming conflict, is now available for pre-order. The iOS listing reveals a free prologue, allowing potential players to sample the gameplay before committing. Interestingly, the mobile release precedes the game's official Steam launch. This is a welcome surprise for mobile gamers and a testament to the game's appeal. The unique title, while potentially problematic for discoverability, adds to its charm.
