Good little game for insect lovers, Try to find them all !
Played through twice hoping that what you fed your critters impacted things... alas, it does not. Would have definitely added to the game if it did. As it stands, this is a very, very short, mildly amusing game if you have $2 to waste.
jeu agréable, graphismes très réussis !
Really enjoyable little hidden object game with a creepy twist (and I'm not just talking about creepy crawlies lol). Honestly a 10/10 game if just for the fact that I booted it up, pet the cat for some purrs, and then immediately found solitaire and played that for a good 10mins before even getting into the actual bug part of the game lmao. Progression feels good and not terribly difficult, and by the time I completed the game, there were only a few more achievements to clean up and I gladly went through a second time [spoiler] though I stopped before buying the special creature food again so I didn't have to be confronted by my CAT BEING GONE TT___TT [/spoiler] Definitely worth the two bucks! I look forward to seeing more stuff from this dev in the future!
Starts out as an insect collector that uses an interesting mechanical twist on the classic hidden object game, throws in some light terrarium upkeep & resource management, & finally hits you with a mystery animal that you slowly puzzle out throughout most of your playthrough. I was not expecting how it ended but it made sense. The cozy aesthetics & small interactable details make the study feel alive. I felt satisfied with my purchase & I will probably replay it (which for me is the best recommendation I can give it).
Lovely charming little game, a pleasure to play through
Un juego encantador, con un estilo visual cuidado y una atmósfera relajante. No olvides acariciar al gato ;-)
Une Petite pépite ! La qualité Graphique , les dessins sont magnifiques ! ce jeu est reposant ! on passe un bon petit moment ! pour le Prix c'est vraiment top ! Sachant que l'idée du jeu vient du Game Jam ! je dis Bravo !
The Night Crawler est un petit jeu cozy vraiment sympa qui vous fera passer une belle soirée ! Mention spéciale aux graphismes adorables et à la musique douce et relaxante qui vous restera en tête pendant un petit bout de temps.
