"A Butterfly's Dream: Be a Butterfly in this beautiful and relaxing game with no goals or enemies. Based on a Zen tale."
I'm sorry, I'll never buy this game, so there is no other place for me to rant, but
Apparently, this is the description on the Steam page, which means it was put up there by the devs. And like, are they willfully ignorant? A butterfly's dream is a parable from the book of Zhuangzi, an ancient Chinese philosopher of the Daoist tradition that lived in the Warring States period. Zen Buddhism wouldn't originate for another several hundreds of years after. Yet another example of Western commodification of Eastern philosophies and terminology. "Just call it Zen because it's Eastern and sounds relaxing." Disgusting.
