Insect Prison Remake Tutorial -
Insect Prison REMAKE is a standalone, point-and-click adventure game developed by Eroism on Itch.io, recreating Atella's original title Mushi no Kangoku. This guide provides a comprehensive tutorial on mastering the remake's mechanics, exploration, and unique gameplay systems. Getting Started: Installation & Basics
Unlike the original which required CardWirth, the remake is standalone and natively supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android.
Resolution: The remake features a resolution jump to 1264x840 with AI-upscaled graphics.
Controls: Primary interaction is via the mouse. Use F5 to Quick Save and F9 to Quick Load frequently, as certain encounters lead to game overs. Core Gameplay Systems
Success in Insect Prison REMAKE depends on managing your character's states and navigating combat. Combat Mechanics
Combat has been rebalanced to emphasize strategy over simple button-mashing.
Intercepts: There is now an intercept relationship between actions. For example, parrying a Heavy Attack will stun the enemy for one round. insect prison remake tutorial
Targeting: Attacks now target single enemies rather than the entire party, making positioning and item use more critical.
Items: New items like the Suppressant (crafted from materials in new regions) can prevent enemies from using "Grab" attacks until the end of a battle. The Incubation System
A central mechanic involves the collection of eggs from various "critters" on the island.
Parasite Worms: If you are infected with Parasite Worms, they will consume any other eggs you carry, preventing other birth scenes but eventually triggering a Big Worm event.
General Incubation: To incubate specific species (like the Wharf Roach or Egg Bee), you must first remove all Parasite Worms. Once eggs are obtained, walking and sleeping will progress the incubation until a birth scene occurs in an open map region. Exploration & Map Progression
The island is divided into regions that unlock as you explore. Title: How to Build an “Insect Prison” Remake:
The Forest & Deep Forest: These are your starting grounds where you can find basic materials like Wood and encounter Wharf Roaches.
The Field: Unlocked after exploring the Deep Forest 30 times. Here you can find the Libido Flower and the Dandelion, which enhances the effectiveness of tea at your cabin.
The Waterfall: Reachable after exploring the Deep Forest 20 times; drinking here provides a temporary damage boost. Key Character Interactions
Interacting with NPCs like Rumia is essential for unlocking certain scenes and items. Insect Prison REMAKE by Eroism - Games - itch.io

A Note on Ethics
This prop is for fake or ethically sourced specimens only. Never trap live insects, spiders, or any animal without ventilation, food, and water. An “Insect Prison” is a piece of art, not a cruelty device.
Part 4: The Inmates – Which Bugs Go Here?
Not every insect deserves a penthouse suite. Here is the compatibility list for your remake.
| Insect | Remake Requirements | Danger Level |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Praying Mantis | Vertical climbing space, mesh top for molting. | High (they eat everything) |
| Blue Death Feigning Beetle | Dry sand substrate, zero misting, hides. | Low (very polite) |
| Madagascar Hissing Cockroach | Cork bark flats, high heat (85°F), vertical crevices. | Medium (loud hissing) |
| Jumping Spider | Top-opening lid, lots of "clutter" at the top. | Low (curious, cute) |
| Tarantula (Arboreal) | Tall background, no sharp edges (can rupture abdomen). | High (venomous) |
Part 6: Audio Design – The Uncomfortable Resonance
You cannot remake Insect Prison without a sound library of insects. Do not use bee buzzes. Use slowed-down houseflies. Use sped-up crickets.
- The Chrysalis Crackle: When the player "saves" the game at a save point (a pulsating ovipositor), play the sound of a hard shell being slowly crushed.
- Proximity Drones: Attach an
AudioStreamPlayer3D to the player. As Metamorphosis increases, raise the volume of a low-frequency hum (60hz). By level 80, the hum should be maddening.
Pro Tip: In the settings menu, add a warning: "This game contains infrasound simulation. Headphones recommended." (This is a psychological trick; it primes the player to be anxious.)
