shilling this goofy ass game again because i just think the development story is kind of interesting
>Insecticide Part 1, 70 cents USD
>noir detective story set in a world of bugs, the game is divided up into terrible shooting/platform segments and classic point and click investigation segments with dialogue and light item combining.
>The game was meant to be released in two episodes but part 2 never materialized after the publisher got acquired by another company and the poor sales figures of Part 1 on PC couldnt justify even the shoestring budget of this game.
>Meanwhile, the DS port was finished and shipped before the cancellation of part 2, so despite the fact that this game ends abruptly halfway through, the rest of the story and more point and click gameplay is available on the Nintendo DS, albeit with heavily downgraded graphics and no voice acting outside of pre-rendered cinematics.
>The game is LucasArts alums all the way down, some artists coming fresh off Psychonauts.
>Veronica Taylor voices the main character, you would probably recognize her as Ash from the Pokemon anime.
>The IP holders have expressed vague interest in rebooting the whole concept as a purely point-and-click experience but nothing has materialized in years.
