Bug & Seek is the result of many hours spent in the woods, and many, many more hours spent developing the game for nearly two years.

Come relax with Bug & Seek. There are no wrong choices, no energy levels to worry about, and plenty of time to complete quests and jobs. Build the best bug collection Buggburg has ever seen, and see if you can solve the mystery of The Great Heist! 🔍

If you aren't purchasing, please wishlist and follow Bug & Seek. Thanks for supporting a tiny indie studio!

Catch bugs and clues in this cozy bug-catching simulator, styled like an 8-bit classic. You’ve bought the local bug museum, abandoned after a mysterious robbery. Fill orders, build your collection, and upgrade your skills and equipment while exploring Buggburg and uncovering its secrets. With over 175 true-to-life bugs to catch, each bug also has its own unique (and humorous) tagline. It just might change the way you look at bugs. :)

Steam description:
Being developed by a husband-wife dev team living in the woods, Bug & Seek is a relaxing, open-ended, bug catching simulator with a mystery twist. In Bug & Seek, you've just sunk your life savings into buying an abandoned Insectarium (bug museum)! Once the lifeblood of the town and its economy, someone stole all the bugs in the dead of night. Now it's up to you to catch and sell bugs to fulfill requests from collectors, neighboring towns, schools, and universities, all while building your personal collection. Become a master bug hunter as you level up your bug-catching skills, upgrade your equipment, and expand your Insectarium. Meet the locals and complete quests to earn special items and discover what really happened during the Great Bug Heist.

WIshlist here. See you at the livestream!

Hey all!

We're just now recovering from our four days of showing Bug & Seek at MoMo Con 2023. 😅 Though exhausting, it was a fantastic play-testing experience and we got tons of great feedback.

And that feedback definitely cemented our plan to release order fulfillment as part of the gameplay! 🎉

So grab a hot beverage (or cool beverage if you're experiencing high temps and drought conditions like us) and enjoy our (short) second devlog.
