Little Bug

Little Bug follows Nyah, a curious 8-year-old who loves exploring nature and studying life science. Walking home from school, she is cast into an uncanny world of bottomless canyons and moonlit deserts, where dangerous spirits linger. You guide Nyah and her spirit light together, using their shared swinging mechanic to move through the wilderness and uncover what happened in Nyah’s past.

Nyah and her world

Nyah shares treasures from her explorations with her teacher, Ms. Bisbee. She lives with her single mom and baby sister, Isa, but her mom seems tired and different from how she used to be. Nyah sometimes stays with her grandma, whose quirky wisdom fuels Nyah’s imagination; some of her stories may hold more truth than Nyah realizes.

Swing and explore

Nyah walks on the ground and collects treasures, while her spirit light can fly in any direction. You control both at once, forming a telekinetic beam between them. The connection lets Nyah swing to new heights, destroy barriers and thwart spirits, while the light helps reveal secret locations. Disembodied spirits can appear without warning and hurt Nyah or her light, so coordinating the two is key as new challenges arise.

Treasures and challenges

Collect dozens of unique items in Nyah’s lunchbox to uncover memories from her past, and rearrange them as you like. Choose which treasures to keep for the journey and which to offer to Roadkill, a mysterious spirit cat who unlocks bonus challenge levels with special items. These levels feature unique gameplay challenges, and generous checkpoints let you play at your own pace.
