Bug Bites: Chapter 1 - Lost Mosquito
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Mei is a mosquito down on his luck. He's just trying to get through another day, when he finds himself being hassled by a trio of dragonflies... and to make matters worse, as soon as he tries to escape, he runs into yet another dragonfly! However, this bug seems to want to help him... can he trust his natural predator? Or has he fallen out of the frying pan and straight into the fire...?
A short RPG Maker game about making it by in a world where everything seems designed to keep you down, and making friends in spite of it. Takes about half an hour to play, only one ending. Part one of a planned five chapters.

Wow, a new story about characters with predatory relationship! This is a tantalizing beginning to the story and HOORAY there are so many different kinds of bugs! It's interesting to see how they settle in the city.
And may spoilers
I had a great time manipulating Mei to work at the restaurant hehehe, although it's a short scene.
I am curious about how bugs in this world get meat in a relatively civilized way, looking forward to the next part of story!
Aah, this was cute!
SPOILERS
First and foremost, I love the characters. Mei and Gabu are very charming in two different ways. Gabu is charismatic and sweet, and Mei is timid and maybe a little grumpy. I love them both so much (and their designs are gorgeous!)
I'm really hoping we'll get to uncover more of Mei's story in the later chapters. I'm quite curious about their family, their previous job, and of... well, of who killed Marron. I can completely understand why Mei doesn't trust easily because of that.
I'm really looking forward to the next chapters. There's so many things I want to ask about the characters and their world, but I'm going to have to wait and see if the subsequent chapters answer those questions first.
You did an excellent job with chapter 1! Keep up the good work ^-^
