Bug & Seek

Bug & Seek is a relaxing bug-catching game with a mystery to solve. You buy an abandoned insectarium, catch real-life bugs, build your collection and improve your skills. Its simple gameplay has no stress or wrong choices: explore, shake objects to reveal hiding bugs and swing your net to catch them. There are no minigames, combat, energy meters or sleep requirements, and the game has no multiplayer or romance.

Catch and learn about bugs

The game features more than 200 real insects, each with a humorous tagline and a codex entry of facts presented by the bug itself. Bugs appear in seasons, locations and at times that reflect real life, including at night. As you level up, you can catch rarer bugs, and some special items improve your chances.

Expand your insectarium

Build new wings and fill the insectarium with bugs to create a display for the town. You can also acquire a handful of decoration sets and clothing items. To earn money, you sell bugs in stores or through jobs and quests, then catch more to add to your collection.

Explore Buggburg

Search for bugs in meadows, deserts, forests, wetlands, beaches, urban environments and caves. In the town of Buggburg, you can meet more than 19 locals, including the mayor and an herb farmer. Do jobs for them to earn special gear and items, uncover secrets and gossip, and perhaps find haikus.

Solve the Great Bug Heist

A year ago, someone broke into the insectarium at night and stole all its bugs in an incident known as The Great Bug Heist. Piece together what happened and uncover the guilty party as you explore the town. The game also shares facts about bugs and their importance to biodiversity and environmental health.
