One year ago someone broke into the Insectarium in the middle of the night and stole all of the bugs in an incident known as The Great Bug Heist. See if you can piece together what really happened as you solve the mystery and unmask the guilty party!

What to Expect: 🪲 👍
* Simple Game Mechanics — Explore, shake objects to reveal hiding bugs, and swing your net. Bug & Seek was meant to be easy, peaceful, and stress-free. A leveling system increases the rarity of bugs you can catch, and some special items boost your chances too.
* A Bug-Based Economy — To earn money, you will have to sell bugs at the stores and for jobs and quests. But don't worry, you will be able to catch more!
* Cozy, Humorous Vibes — The cute little town of Buggburg to explore, lots of goofy and bug-obsessed NPC's, bugs with personalities and jokes, and a fun mystery about someone stealing a bunch of bugs.
* Light Customization — There are a handful of adorable new decoration sets, and even a few new clothing items you can acquire.
* Real Facts and Information — Every bug in the game is a real bug, and you'll learn things like why bugs are so important to biodiversity and environmental health.

What Bug & Seek DOES NOT have: 🚫 👎
* Challenging gameplay; the gameplay loop in Bug & Seek is very simple.
* Mini games; if you swing your net at a bug, you will catch it.
* Energy meters or sleep requirements; after all, you can only catch certain bugs at night.
* Multiplayer options;
* Combat; while bugs in real life do attack and eat other bugs, they don't in Bug & Seek, and you won't fight NPC's with your bugs. The bugs also do not carry swords or wear medieval armor, as fun as that might sound.
* Romance; while you can talk to NPC's, and do jobs for them involving catching bugs, you cannot romance them, nor can you romance the bugs, regardless of the superpowers that might give to your offspring.

Ratings and reviews

I love the game. i love bugs, I want more bugs. but it wont let me buy the full game. i keep pressing the button and nothing happens.

I quite adore this game, I just completed it on my old phone and have downloaded it onto my new one. it's super cute but I do wish Latin names were present on the bug profiles, and feel the story has a bit of room for some more twists and turns or a second part to the story post case solving. I quite love it I just wish there was more playability to it.

I have played HOURS of this game! It has such a fun story with the heist! The quests are great, and even though I completed the heist story, I'm still trying to fill out my index and find every little guy in the game. Finding every critter gives me joy, no matter how many of them I've caught. Naming all the bugs in my museum is so cute, but it gets overwhelming when you have so many tanks. I started keeping a notebook with all my bugs, their names, and which tank they're in! overall amazin game
