Butterfly Soup 2
The original Butterfly Soup was a landmark game of the late 2010s. A tender, insightful, and often hilarious story of queer Asian high-school girls playing baseball and falling in love, its keen observation of its characters and its centering of their humanity made it as quietly radical as it was entertaining. The new sequel (available for pay-what-you-want on itchio) picks up right after the first game, reuniting us with the core cast as they continue navigating the trials and tribulations of their lives, only occasionally making time for Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on the GameCube. As the characters struggle in real ways with aspects of their identity and the limiting, sometimes crushing expectations the world imposes upon them, Butterfly Soup 2 reminds us of what real humanity in games can look like, and of what such human art can do
