What players say

Players describe it as a short, relaxing hidden-object game about collecting insects at night and caring for them in a terrarium, but they consistently warn that a horrifying creature unexpectedly appears. The game is very short, typically finished in under two hours, and some players wish it had more depth or replay value.
