Design Statement
To me the theme track felt like a calm breath after a storm, so I built Field of Wings around that feeling. A storm scatters the butterflies from a lakeside garden, and you set out with a net and a field guide to bring them home.

I wanted catching to feel like listening, not chasing. Each of the ten real butterfly species needs its own gentle approach: whistling its rhythm, holding your breath, sneaking up, flashing a mirror, or offering fennel or nectar. Every butterfly is released, never kept.

You start by planting the sanctuary, and it blooms a little more with each butterfly you return, so progress is something you see rather than a score. There are no fail states, so you can take it at your own pace.
