Butterfly Dream Shadow

Butterfly Dream Shadow is a story-driven game about Mu Mu, who dies in a car accident on her way to get married. A system gives her the chance to return to life if she completes its assigned task. Her final mission takes place in Campus Little Sweetheart, an S-level world where failure means her existence will be erased.

Change the story

Playing as Mu Mu, you take the role of a vicious villain and interfere with Bai Weiya’s romances, preventing the original story’s NP ending. The game has six male characters to pursue, as well as Bai Weiya. When you complete a male character’s affection route with Bai Weiya, he regains his original intelligence and emotional maturity. To clear the mission, guide Bai Weiya to an ending with one partner or no male partner.

Routes and timeline

The story uses a section-based progression, with the routes divided into four groups. You must complete one group before starting another; each group has a different but interconnected plot. All routes share a timeline, though characters act differently within it, revealing different information about events as you progress.

The planned story length is between 800,000 and 1 million words. An achievement system tracks characters, with an achievement map for each one showing the dream they most want but cannot achieve.

Characters

The story features Yuanhao Xu, the school heartthrob; Jun Yuan, Mu Mu’s former boyfriend; Yuan Su, a computer expert; Bai Weiya, the campus sweetheart; Ye Chengxu, the official campus heartthrob; and Bai Ziqi, Bai Weiya’s brother and the final boss. Their stories include Yuanhao Xu’s childhood attachment to his butler Zhang, Jun Yuan’s longing for a warm home, Yuan Su’s uncertain friendship with Mu Mu, and Ye Chengxu’s wish to protect his family. Bai Weiya’s route includes Mu Mu challenging her to find reasons to keep living, while Bai Ziqi’s scenes show his cold response to a fledgling bird’s death.
