Description official description

MoonFall: Butterfly Lovers is a Chinese adult romance visual novel set in a post-apocalyptic future where civilization has been destroyed as a result of a worldwide war and the moon is rapidly approaching the Earth, threatening to destroy everything that's left. The player controls a survivor named Haruki who travels with a silver-haired woman named Kaori whose bond deepens as they learn more about each other. Haruki eventually gets a chance to escape destruction, but surviving means confronting a painful reality.

The story is inspired by the Butterfly chapter of the classical Chinese work of literature Zhuangzi (莊子), in which the author posits that if he dreams he is a butterfly, he cannot know whether he is a man dreaming that he is a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming that it is a man. This philosophical statement is central to the game's plot, with transformation and reincarnation also being prominent themes in the game.

The game features Japanese voice acting and contains explicit sexual content.
