I love bugs so I was immediately drawn to this game. You start off learning about insect preservation and collection data which is a nice way to get you informed on what you'd be doing. The graphics move smoothly, and the art is spot on. However, there's less interactive than I'd actually imagined. This whole thing is actually a glorified slideshow presentation than an actual game. For a few sections, like pinning a beetle, I assumed I needed to hold my mouse steady. Especially since the narrator urges you to be careful. You didn't though, just clicking next suffices towards completion. While this is definitely great groundwork for a game, I would add some pass or fail mechanics to better immerse the player.
