Catch the bugs or lose your life

The main protagonist agrees to a dirty job from a closed museum. To impress its few remaining patrons, the museum needs a collection of rare and extraordinary insects. The task sounds simple — until he learns where to find them: in the basement of a reclusive collector. Down there, the air crawls with strange beetles… but something far more terrifying lurks among them — the collector himself, a deranged man who allows no living soul near his precious collection. Time is running out. The hero must sort and jar the right insects before it’s too late — and get out alive. The catch? There are far more bugs in the basement than the museum ever asked for. He’ll have to study each description carefully and pick only the ones the client truly wants.

Catch the flies and stay alive

Could you please add a gameplay guide? It's hard to understand what to do

I also don't understand what to do. I assume you have to right-click to collect a bug, but this does nothing in both the version hosted here and the one hosted on itch

Super cool game! The audio and countdown really build up the tension, and the camera movement looks awesome. Had a great time playing it!

Sorry, but the gameplay is not completed now, we did not have time to technically implement it.

The idea is clear, but unfortunately the bugs don’t get picked up :( and the light doesn’t turn off — though I think it was supposed to.

Cool idea, except i didn't really figure out what to do beyond unscrewing the vent open. The mood is really well set and the music helps a lot, it would be cool to see it completed!

if there were bugs in this bug game it might just be the best of them all

I liked the visuals, but I couldn't do much beyond trying to find the bugs and got nothing. Also, I don't think I understood the game very well. I don't often read the guides because I like to figure out jam games by myself, but I have to admit this one could really use a guide.
