I Attempt to Beat a Game I Failed To (and you guys can comment!)

Had an interest check for it that you can find here, if you'd like to see that.

So! A while back (like, months, a year maybe) I ended up playing a game called Bug Fables! Unfortunately I might've... uhh... not been able to finish it? Only managed to finish Chapter 2 before hitting a roadblock that got me to quit.

SO I'M FINISHING IT NOW.

And you guys can watch me do it, as I'll be logging it here, and comment on it- maybe even help me out if I hit a roadblock?

It's basically reality TV for you guys... except not TV, as it'll be in text.

Mika help me.

And, of course, beware spoilers.

What, you'd think I'd not share the plot as I progress? Just don't think it would be quite as good without knowing half of what's going on.

Anyways, have fun!

Chapter 1: A Dysfunctional Trio

Post 1: Welcome to Bugaria

Here! We! Go!

To summarize the beginning lore segment, an ant Queen visited the lands of Bugaria and established the first settlement there in hopes of finding the Everlasting Sapling- a plant said to make oneself immortal if you ate even one of its leaves.

She never did, and when her daughter took over the throne she created the Explorers' Association to find it.

Leading us to today, where we learn this story is being told by Kabbu, a beetle who hails from the north- and our first protagonist. While he is denied an Explorer's Permit, and therefore being an explorer, at first, he ends up teaming up with Vi, a bee who is our second protagonist of the day! While, with some context, it is clear that bees are artisans and artists in general, Vi here wants to be the first bee explorer.

Anyways, tutorial fight time, with and versus Maki- a praying mantis who just-so-happens to be the Queen's Blade. While we do lose horribly, he still grants us a Permit! And so we go off to Snakemouth Den- wait I haven't explained that yet.

So, Snakemouth Den is a place where, supposedly, an ancient artifact that can help find the Sapling is located. No bug who has ever set foot there returned alive... Or, at least, most of them don't.

Anyways, off we go to Snakemouth Den to find an artifact, defeating some low-level mooks (a term for enemies or mobs, if you haven't encountered it yet) along the way, where I learned I need to up my reaction time if I want to continue dodging enemy attacks and that the music for this game is awesome, battle theme's a bop.

Saved right at the entrance to it, and spent a slightly embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out where the exit to main menu button was located...

Don't worry, I figured it out eventually.

We continue tomorrow! Or maybe later tonight...

(fun fact: the game is split into chapters, which I'm using here. And, yes, Chapter 1 is called that ingame.)

Fun! I looked up the game to get a sense of the art style and it's very cute.

Post 2: The Most Obvious Trap To Have Ever Trapped

Well, that was longer than a day!

I've decided that every time I come across a save spot, I'll save and quit to update you guys.

So here's the update! This is gonna be a short one.

We enter Snakemouth Den, solve a few puzzles and have a few funny moments, I learn to dodge better, and then we come to a 'dead end'. With a massive locked door.

Pretty clear what we should do, right?

I solve a rock-pushing puzzle, and the ground itself shakes...

As an item lands on a very clear trapdoor.

Now, clearly this is a trap! The Most Obvious Trap to Have Ever Trapped, if you will. But unfortunately, in games, sometimes you have to fall for a trap for the plot to progress.

So I go and collect the bait, and the trapdoor proceeds to open and we fall in.

Now, Vi is a bee. Bees can fly. And we are reminded about that as a couple seconds after we fall, Vi flies back up and debates ditching Kabbu.

She doesn't, but she Was thinking about it.

Just before we cut to our group, though, the massive doors from before do open. They will be important in a couple more chapters. But not now.

I've left off with our group down in Lower Snakemouth, and will probably pick the game back up in a couple moments to get to the next save point.

Post 3: A SPIDER?! WHERE?!?! (also Leif is here now hi Leif)

And I'm back already!

So, we progress, and encounter a 'fallen' (read: sleeping, because apparently the best place to nap is in a spider's web where you are 0.2 seconds away from being eaten) adventurer.

And then a spider shows up. Fun fact, his battle theme is called 'His Friends Call Him Spuder (Don't Call Him Spuder)', which has very silly implications!

Anyways, Vi actually ditches, right after Kabbu saves her, and I am forced to fight the spider with only Kabbu! I actually got some good blocks in (possibly because I have FINALLY gotten re-used to doing so?) and only managed to lose 1 HP. Although the fight does end after three turns, and Kabbu outright says the spider's 'too strong', like you only lost 1 HP what.

And then Vi returns, saving Kabbu just in time! And from there, we re-fight the spider, except now we mainly try to take down the web, and once we take it down and our "fallen" adventurer is freed, we run (not leaving anyone behind this time, *cough cough* Vi).

After a skipped chase scene, we skedaddle, and find a place where the spider can't follow.

It's there where we finally actually meet ~~our third party member~~ the adventurer face-to-face! And he is Leif, a moth who was on a scouting mission in Snakemouth Den before getting caught by the spider. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to fight so we're gonna have to just carry him around I guess.

Anyways, two weird things about this guy: for a moment there, nobody was sure if he actually could speak in a tongue the others could understand, since at first he was just spouting random gibberish, and also he uses the Royal We (so we/our instead of I/my) to refer to himself! Sure that isn't foreshadowing anything!

Post 4: In Which We Officially Obtain A Third Party Member

So! I might've... accidentally continued past a save point? I mean, I knew it was there I literally saved my progress, I just didn't stop to write this.

Which means I have to cover two posts' worth of content!

So we continue in Snakemouth Den, where we last left of. After completing a few puzzles and snagging a Medal (a useful trinket that basically act as boosts, with many different types, some of which are unique to specific characters), all while fighting off zombie ants (or cordyceps that have chosen ant hosts, rather, thank you Journal notes).

After almost getting to the end of the first room, we do get ambushed though... and Leif's a (ice) mage! Which is apparently very rare.

So we fight a bit, get to a save crystal, and this is where I continue.

A couple puzzles later, and there really isn't a lot to say.

I mean, Leif can apparently read ancient script, so that's something, just not much else.

But there will be a boss fight soon...

Oh, Leif is cute! I like his expression. Certainly the face of an annoyed scholar.
