Rating Summary
This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a puppet-like character following explorers that interact with creatures called Bugsnax. Players complete missions, scan, trap, and fend off Bugsnax by using whimsical tools (e.g., slingshots, umbrella-like traps); players can also shoot projectiles and exploding barrels at Bugsnax, resulting in their bursting into colorful splashes when defeated. The dialogue contains some suggestive material (e.g., “'[S]top squirming around or I'll have to restrain you… Not while the camera's on!”); one sequence depicts two characters briefly kissing after discussing their relationship (e.g., "Dude, remember that time we made out on that Ferris wheel..."; I thought we were...roommates with benefits."). The game contains bathroom humor: gathering fertilizer from an outhouse after another character uses it; dialogue such as "extracting feces from the latrine" and "That stink could raise the dead!"
