Reviver: First Butterfly sees the time-based narrative game finally arrive on iOS

Reviver: Butterfly, the charming indie title, finally flutters onto iOS and Android! Initially slated for a Winter 2024 release, it's arriving slightly later than anticipated, with a launch date set for January 17th.

For those familiar with our October coverage, you'll recall the initial announcement. It seems a naming convention shift has led to the game's release under two titles: Reviver: Butterfly (iOS and Android) and Reviver: Premium (presumably a platform-specific designation). Both versions offer the same core experience: guiding the destinies of two lovers through subtle manipulations of their lives, witnessing their journey from youth to old age.

The game's wholesome premise is undeniably appealing. You'll influence the protagonists without ever directly interacting with them, observing the ripple effects of your actions on their lives and relationships.

The Butterfly Effect and Mobile Game Names

A common hurdle for indie developers is securing unique names in the crowded mobile app market. Reviver's delayed release is, unfortunately, a consequence of this naming conflict. However, the game's arrival is welcome news nonetheless!

The iOS app store listing reveals a free prologue, allowing potential players to sample the game's captivating narrative. Intriguingly, the mobile release precedes the official Steam launch, offering a unique opportunity to experience Reviver early.
