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

Author : Eric Jan 21,2025

Reviver: Butterfly, the charming indie narrative game, is finally fluttering onto iOS and Android! Initially slated for a winter 2024 release, it's arriving slightly later than expected, but the wait is almost over. The game launches on January 17th.

For those who missed our October coverage, Reviver casts you as a subtle force of nature, guiding two star-crossed lovers towards their destiny. You never directly interact with them, yet you shape their lives from youth to old age, witnessing their journey unfold. The game is released under two slightly different names: Reviver: Butterfly (iOS/Android) and Reviver: Premium (also iOS/Android), but both appear to be identical.

The game's unique title caused a minor delay in its announcement, a common hurdle for indie developers on mobile platforms. Fortunately, Reviver's arrival is now confirmed.

The iOS app store listing reveals a free prologue, allowing potential players to sample the gameplay before committing. Intriguingly, mobile users will get to experience Reviver before its official Steam release!
