Cook, craft, forage... all the mechanics you love with a fresh perspective and new ingredients. Our main character is a doctor, so we have a new patient management mechanic: prepare medicine, fix ailments, get paid. From broken wings to nectar poisoning and parasites, all the village critters come to Scarlet with their problems. Socialize, make friends, find love... but don’t forget to spend quality time with Twinkle. A dashing bumblebee surgeon, a cool waterslider surfer, two warring ant cowboys, and a wasp prince are all vying for your affections. Work, friends, love and a morose teenage nephew... can you have it all? Sometimes we just need a break to bust a move or take a pollen bath. The sudden illness of your best friend, Bianca the yellow loosestrife bee, is beyond suspicious. Who sent that mysterious note? What could they want? The honeybee queen seems reluctant to share information. Is this about the Council of Pollinators? Follow the story’s many twists and turns, meet fun characters, discover new locations and puzzle facts together to unravel the mystery! The plants and insect characters were chosen specifically for their weird and amazing characteristics, making them uniquely entertaining. Finally, you’ll be able to show off in front of your judgy friends who think gaming is a waste of time. Do they know what oil bees are? What about nyctinasty? They don’t, but you will now! All that cooking, crafting, socializing game time will also make your REAL life better. What Scarlet promises, she delivers! FEATURES Over 30 original characters—insects, mollusks, arachnids, and more—each with their own charm and secrets to share. Storylines with meaning—quests woven from the real wonders of nature, like insect–plant bonds, pollination, symbiosis. No empty grinding, only tasks that matter.
