What players say

Players describe a short point-and-click adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by giant insects. The game is praised for its distinctive art style and atmospheric sound design, though some find the pre-set camera paths frustrating and wish for free movement. The story unfolds without text, relying on visuals and exploration, and the experience takes about 3 to 4 hours.
