About
The world is decaying. MOLD consumes everything
Explore this rotten world from the perspective of an insignificant worker bug doing what it can to keep its queen alive. Climb through sewer pipes and over the soft mold-covered husks of others like you.

You can crawl on any surface-- along walls, and ceilings to collect the corpses of your kin to bring to your infected queen, as it is your only purpose as you dodge deadly fungal spores that will result in your grotesque end!

Гарна тут лише картинка. Оптимізація жахлива, ігролад кострубатий, сюжет нелогічний, а пройти гру можна всього за 8 хвилин.
A VERY QUICK game ! It is quite obviously a college project, hence the very short game time, but overall a pretty cool experience. The level design is honestly awesome, the ability to cling to any surface made my head spin a bit but it was quite fun. I did experience some lag when checking ultra level graphics, despite having a powerful computer. Perhaps some optimisation issues ? Still, the game's free and cute, I recommend to check it out.

A short but sweet game. It was only a handful of minutes long but I loved the world so much. I am a big fan of fungi, moss, and bugs. Also, LOVE the voice of the Elder Bug.
There was nothing to this game. I understand it's a college project, but this was so void of story, or anything at all, really, I don't understand why it has positive reviews. Sure, the first impression is quite neat, and the environment looks interesting, but the controls are so janky exploring even this small space got me frustrated, and, again, there's nothing there. There's literally nothing to get you invested, make you think or care about what's happening, or have this game stick with you in any way. Sure, the visuals can be described as haunting, just like anything that has something to do with death and decay, but this was so short, frustrating and empty, I'm not getting haunted any time soon, and will probably have forgotten about it by the time I'm eating dinner. Really, don't bother.
Well it's free but very poorly optimised and the game is literally just collect 3 bugs and that's it lmao so not really worth it. 🤣
i LOVE the graphics and the whole idea and the game itself is pleasant to play just very short :~)
Literally nothing in this I beat the entire thing and there was nothing, along with the game having awful controls and mechanics. All I can say is the assets looked alright but it's not even a real bug so it doesn't really matter.
Hmm interesting concept, not ugly at all. It's just a little bit boring ahah.
feels less like a game and more like just a graphics/art showcase, which I guess that's what it is, so for that its good, it would've been nice to see more than one level or something but if you wanna take 15 minutes to look at the nicely designed fungi and the cute bugs its good, it achieves what its supposed to be. Honestly ignore the bad reviews, they expected something big, its a school project, not silksong.
El concepto y la ambientación de decadencia molan, los modelos están bien hechos, pero los controles son una cosa horrible y el movimiento en si también. El insecto entiendo que es una ninfa de cigarra, pero estas no presentan comportamiento colonial. Aún así, por el modelo y el movimiento está chulo, le dedicaría los 10 minutillos. Me gustarían más juegos en los que eres un insecto.
