Exciting news for fans of narrative-driven games: Reviver is finally set to make its debut on iOS and Android devices. Initially slated for a winter 2024 release, Reviver: Butterfly has narrowly missed that window and is now scheduled to launch on January 17th, 2025. This slight delay means you'll soon be able to immerse yourself in not one, but two captivating titles available on mobile platforms.
For those of you who have been following our coverage, you might recall our mention of Reviver back in late October. At the time, we anticipated its arrival in the winter of 2024, but the game will now be known as Reviver: Butterfly on iOS and Android, with a counterpart, Reviver: Premium, also on the horizon. Despite the different names, both versions are essentially the same game, where you play as a subtle force of nature, delicately influencing the lives of two star-crossed lovers to unite them.
While the notion of 'wholesome' can be subjective, Reviver offers a compelling narrative experience. You won't directly meet or see the protagonists, yet you'll guide them through life's journey from youth to old age, witnessing the evolution of their relationship and the impact of your interventions.
One of the challenges indie games face when transitioning to mobile platforms is the issue of unique naming. Often, quirky game titles are already taken by other apps, like ride-share services. This naming conflict may have contributed to Reviver slipping under the radar initially, but it's never too late to highlight a gem like this.
According to the iOS page, Reviver offers a free prologue for skeptics to try before committing. The page also teases intriguing details about the game, and best of all, you'll have the chance to play Reviver on your mobile device before its official release on Steam. Don't miss out on this unique narrative experience coming soon to iOS and Android!
