Hard to say at the moment. In the original game I think only the Wharf Roach had it, however after reaching the end point of the remake I might add more Game Over scenes, or not, depending on which direction the remake takes.
You can't use it as is, according to 0.60 changelog, if you want to watch the scene you need to have 3 or more lewdness and 40% or more lust, then just explore the forest until you find a bugshroom then you'll have the scene.
Correct. The scene needs those specific conditions to trigger while finding Bugshrooms in the forest. Other than that, the item can be sold to Rumia for SP, but nothing more at the moment.
Unfortunately it would be hard to reduce the size, since it would impact the quality of the animations on desktop. Something like 85%-90% of the game’s size comes from the CGs, which have been upscaled.
The decompressed game in Android should weight only about 1.1 Gb, so my recommendation would be to download and decompress on PC, and then transfer the game to your device by USB, that way you can avoid the duplicate size due to having both the archive and decompressed in disk.
Hi, Eroism , I really like the game and your work on it. I wondered if we could have a track list for the game, especially the menu theme, wich is a banger. Searched in the credits but I could only find artists names and shazam can't help me on this one.
When I get the time I’ll add them to the readme.txt, there is a problem however, many of the tracks don’t have metadata, so I don’t know their source as well.
I’m using about 85% of the original game’s tracks, some had to be replaced for licensing reasons, but only the ones I replaced on the remake I know the sources by certain.
Are the Parasite Worms and the Mushroom Bugs supposed to be the same thing? They have different names and colors, but they dont really seem to act or look differently during any sleeping scenes, nor do they give any different effects or dialog. They are also basically the same thing according to the status menu.
Anyways, it was just something i was curious about since they are clearly somewhat different from each other according to the text, but dont really do anything else that sets them apart.
They should be different, but functionally, they are the same. The original game does not have CGs for the Mushroom Worms, but I do think Atella had intended to make specific scenes for them.
I’ve just confirmed and it seems to be unfortunately :(.
The only workaround currently is to delete settings.dat in the game’s data folder. On Android it might be difficult to access due to its permissions however.
The game engine supports from Android 7 up to Android 14, so in theory it should work fine.
That being said, I can only physically test on Android 11, so I can’t say for sure it will work in any other version. Does it give you any expressive error or log during installation? With such information I might be able to check what is going on.
Upon investigation, I've noticed a peculiar trend with other similar applications, such as [e.g. W2C] downloaded from itch io. These apps, which have a minimum SDK requirement significantly lower than the currently required SDK level of 23, are not using Android 14 as their target version. This suggests that there may be flexibility in the minimum SDK requirement for certain apps, depending on the targeted Android version and platform specifications.
I believe it depends on the engine, as normally they would need to support a vast number of devices, so they tend to cover the versions with more usage.
Your previous information was very valuable, as it led me to explore the code of the exporting Android target and I found out that indeed, the minimal SDK in the code is 21, so the default setting on the build is not matching with the actual code on the export.
But I can rebuild a custom export with the tweaked minimal SDK set to 24, so I’ll try that. Thank you for the test offer, I may take you up on that.
Hi, I'm kinda stuck on the cliff where I can mine stuff and I don't know how to continue further... Could you help me? Yes, I've got the pickaxe, I can mine stuff.
If you already have a pickaxe, then just go to the cliff, climb Ladder, and click on any ore vein. You will obtain iron ore, which you need to craft weapons and armor, and another pickaxe if this one breaks.
You have to click the audio settings again to raise the value. each click raises the volume of said setting by 10%, when it gets to 100% it resets to 0%.
If settings are bugging out (which shouldn’t happen as far as I know), you can try deleting the app data and opening the app again, that way a new settings file will be created and the volumes will be restored to 100%.
Thanks about the black screen info. That said, I have been searching at the Cliff Top for 3 full in-game days ans haven't found it. Is there some requisit to get it or it's completely random?
Also, incredible game, if I had money I'd support you
It is completely random. If I remember correctly the tweaks I made to the odds, you may need up to 7 days to have a complete pickaxe, on average. If it takes you longer than that, then the RNG is being a plain bastard.
Absolutely banging, playing on Android seem bit pain for myself cause.. the bug where the character got defeated or lost in the sauce kept crashing or I can't press any button at all and there is a bug where the battle menu (the character appear during battle on the left screen) still there even tho already finished the lewd scene.. which for me no choice for me to restart the game which take time to do it
(Anyway I was hoping to see more scene and fixes about these bugs, also GOOD LUCK and hopping new update soon)
Hello, Eroism. You are doing a great job. I`m thrilled. And i`m particularly pleased with the pace of updates.
I have a question: I haven't played the original game, but yesterday I came across screenshots with all (or almost all) the monsters. I can't judge just from the screenshots, so could you please tell me how big the original game is? In relation to the content you've already remade in v0.60
You can have an idea via the roadmap on the page’s description. Basically the roadmap has the “highlights” of each update that I’m doing until reaching the original game’s point, which matches with the biggest or more prominent aspects of the original game that are still missing.
But in a broad sense, from the point of v0.60, the following is still to be implemented:
Libido Equipment set
Some craftable weapons
Some special items are still missing from Rumia’s shop (Libido Set included)
Swamp area (with Leech encounters and Mosquito event)
Leech and Mosquito scenes
Sewer area (with Fly and Slug encounters)
Fly and Slug scenes
Deeper Forest area (with same encounters as Forest plus Banana Tree)
Banana Tree scene
Waterfall area (no encounters)
Cicada scene
This list does not include enhancements made on the content, since some features are entirely new or redesign, when compared to the original.
Thx for your response. It looks like there's still a lot of interesting things ahead.
Thanks to you, now i know about the existence of such a cool game. You are doing everything so that we can enjoy this masterpiece! Thx once again and keep up the great work!
Hey I'm playing on Android, sometime game will bug after a scene when fighting, and game crashes and closes itself. Mostly when fighting jellyfish, sometimes the roaches.
There are a few bugs identified with H scenes during battles and the auto battle feature in v0.60. The next version, v0.65, will have these fixed, considering the crashes you had are the same or a result of the issues that I’ve mentioned.
Insect Mucus is dropped by the Jellyfishes only currently.
The Bugshroom has no uses as an item yet, other than to sell for some SP. The event is activated by having at least lewdness at level 3 and lust at 40%.
(I am writing from a translator) Here are the locations opened: forest, to shoreline, to hideout (Remia's shop), to rear beach, doghouse, to cliffside and climb ladder. The question is, if there are more locations that I haven't opened? Or are these all locations and how to open them that are not available?
Hello again, I have a question, in which update are you planning to add more gear. And the functionality of the dog.For example, helping in battle or collecting items?
Its difficult to say, since craftable items are decided ad-hoc depending on the other features I’m working on. I can say that update v0.65 will include some (if not all) of the Libido Equipment, which are special items sold in Rumia’s shop (includes armor and weapons).
Update v0.60 may or may not include the remaining armor items, but I haven’t decided yet since I’m working on the highlighted features and the Android version.
Regarding the dog, I don’t remember the dog having such features on the original game, but it is a good feature suggestion to be implemented on a later phase.
There is a wikia for the original game where you can see the drop chances and enemy loot :). The remake follows the original’s drop chances with high accuracy. The biggest difference would be the Broken Pickaxe and Iron Ore ratios on the Cliff’s exploration.
Search for “mushi no kangoku wikia” and you’ll find it.
hey i'm enjoying the game so far would like to check out the original one also but can't find it. would love to compare it to yours and hope you complete the game
If you search for “183 mushi no kangoku” I’m sure you’ll be able to find it, but beware that you need CardWirth to play it. If whatever site you find the game in does not provide CardWirth, search for “CardWirthPy”.
Remember that this is Japanese software, so you’ll probably find it on japanese sites.
Is there any plans to finish the story or just only remake what was available in the original? I know there was a ton of extra cg with other characters/ monsters that the original creator made that was posted to R34 so it would be neat to see those incorporated.
The current focus is restoring the original content, there are some ideas and plans, however, to continue with more content, including animations that are already available on the game, but not used and potentially finishing the story of the investigation.
Still, I’ll only decide on the If and How to proceed, when I reach the original game’s point.
The availability of CGs is one of the main points for decision.

Will other monsters in the game besides the roach have a game over?
Hard to say at the moment. In the original game I think only the Wharf Roach had it, however after reaching the end point of the remake I might add more Game Over scenes, or not, depending on which direction the remake takes.
this is actually a decent game
Thank you for complimenting the game :).
I have only been able to find the cliff, side beach, swamp, and hideaway so far. Are those the only explorable locations available so far?
Correct, as of version 0.70 the only unlockable locations with “free” actions are:
Guys, how instal this game on android?
Hello Jinyhome,
You first need to unzip the ZIP file, inside there will be an APK and a readme.txt, you just need to extract the APK and install it as normal.
Thanks ◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗
Hello eroism, i was wondering how to use the bugshroom?
You can't use it as is, according to 0.60 changelog, if you want to watch the scene you need to have 3 or more lewdness and 40% or more lust, then just explore the forest until you find a bugshroom then you'll have the scene.
Correct. The scene needs those specific conditions to trigger while finding Bugshrooms in the forest. Other than that, the item can be sold to Rumia for SP, but nothing more at the moment.
If I understood correctly, you mean that the x8 speed up moves on to the next scene, even without the screen being pressed?
I see, in which scenes have you seen this happen?
Thank you for the feedback!
So you’re seeing the messages that trigger the scenes again after the scene starts, is that it? I think I’ve also noticed this on my latest testing.
Hey there,
Unfortunately it would be hard to reduce the size, since it would impact the quality of the animations on desktop. Something like 85%-90% of the game’s size comes from the CGs, which have been upscaled.
The decompressed game in Android should weight only about 1.1 Gb, so my recommendation would be to download and decompress on PC, and then transfer the game to your device by USB, that way you can avoid the duplicate size due to having both the archive and decompressed in disk.
Will there be more content with the jellyfishes?
The scenes that you see with Jellyfishes are all that exist in the original game, so most likely there won’t be any new ones.
Ah, that's a shame
Hi Eroism, where can i find the save files of this game? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Cool remake btw!
Hey there Tharlin, thank you!
Depends on the platform you’re on, but you can find that information in the
readme.txt.%appdata%\insect-prison$HOME/.local/share/insect-prison<somewhere>/Android/data/com.eroism.insectprisonoh cmon encrypted ?
The save files are not encrypted, their are just encoded :).
Where on earth can I find the store, which has not been found for 51 days
To unlock Rumia’s Shop you need to first meet Rumia.
Hope this helps :).
EDIT: it’s just 1 Wharf Roach event and not 3, my mistake
Hi, Eroism , I really like the game and your work on it. I wondered if we could have a track list for the game, especially the menu theme, wich is a banger. Searched in the credits but I could only find artists names and shazam can't help me on this one.
Hello Maximillien, thank you for the support :).
When I get the time I’ll add them to the readme.txt, there is a problem however, many of the tracks don’t have metadata, so I don’t know their source as well.
I’m using about 85% of the original game’s tracks, some had to be replaced for licensing reasons, but only the ones I replaced on the remake I know the sources by certain.
Thanks a lot for the answer, I'm looking forward for next updates, take care
how long untill 70.0
Hey there,
I’ve only started working on it this weekend, since I’ve been sick this week. So it may take as long as 2 weeks for the release.
ok thy for awnsering
Are the Parasite Worms and the Mushroom Bugs supposed to be the same thing? They have different names and colors, but they dont really seem to act or look differently during any sleeping scenes, nor do they give any different effects or dialog. They are also basically the same thing according to the status menu.
Anyways, it was just something i was curious about since they are clearly somewhat different from each other according to the text, but dont really do anything else that sets them apart.
Hey there Rtysdfgh,
They should be different, but functionally, they are the same. The original game does not have CGs for the Mushroom Worms, but I do think Atella had intended to make specific scenes for them.
I like this game, hope for more update
It's a pretty good game
Thank you for the feedback!
Hello, I'm on android and I was able to decrease the BGM and SE volume to 0% but I can't increase them back. Is a that a known bug ?
I’ve just confirmed and it seems to be unfortunately :(. The only workaround currently is to delete
settings.datin the game’s data folder. On Android it might be difficult to access due to its permissions however.make an discord pls
is 70.0 out ?
Not yet. If you check the downloads and devlogs you can see the latest version is still 0.65 :).
I'm using an A55 5G, and i cannot instal the apk, what i do to fix it? it's a compatibility's problem with the Android 14?
The game engine supports from Android 7 up to Android 14, so in theory it should work fine.
That being said, I can only physically test on Android 11, so I can’t say for sure it will work in any other version. Does it give you any expressive error or log during installation? With such information I might be able to check what is going on.
From Android 14 it is no longer possible to install any application that targets an API level below 23 - Android 6.0.
That is indeed an important piece of information, and I’ve verified that the engine does indeed support Android 6.
But this is odd, as the Min SDK version on the build settings is 24, and not 21. I’ll have to investigate this further.
Upon investigation, I've noticed a peculiar trend with other similar applications, such as [e.g. W2C] downloaded from itch io. These apps, which have a minimum SDK requirement significantly lower than the currently required SDK level of 23, are not using Android 14 as their target version.

But I can rebuild a custom export with the tweaked minimal SDK set to 24, so I’ll try that. Thank you for the test offer, I may take you up on that.
The screenshot is in Portuguese, but it says exactly what i say above.
As stated in another comment, it seems the minimal Android version of the game is below what is allowed per the current Android 14 requirements.
I’ll attempt an hotfix to solve this.
Thank you, I've been interested in playing this game for a while, I appreciate you being so thoughtful.
Hi, I'm kinda stuck on the cliff where I can mine stuff and I don't know how to continue further... Could you help me? Yes, I've got the pickaxe, I can mine stuff.
If you already have a pickaxe, then just go to the cliff, climb Ladder, and click on any ore vein. You will obtain iron ore, which you need to craft weapons and armor, and another pickaxe if this one breaks.
Most areas, currently, are unlocked by exploring the Forest/Shoreline a few times.
If you’ve found the Rear Beach, Cliff, Swamp and Rumia’s Shop, then you reached all available areas as of v0.65.
I went into the settings and tried to turn down my volume for everything and now i don't have audio at all and can't change it back. Help pls
You have to click the audio settings again to raise the value. each click raises the volume of said setting by 10%, when it gets to 100% it resets to 0%.
If settings are bugging out (which shouldn’t happen as far as I know), you can try deleting the app data and opening the app again, that way a new settings file will be created and the volumes will be restored to 100%.
It's doing the same for me. Where's the settings file found at? Can't find it in my user/app data
Ah sorry I assumed Android for some reason XD, which platform are you running the game on?
I'm on Windows
In that case you will find it at:
<disk>:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming/insect-prison.Just delete the
settings.datfile.Hello again, are you planning to add leveling of the hero and his equipment?
Hello Krawl,
I don’t have plans for adding leveling systems to the remake.
Hello Snousant, thank you for the support!
Currently only here on itch, by donating when downloading the game. If in the future I open other platform I’ll add it as a devlog to this page.
Where can I find the broken pickaxe? I can't find it and have the materials to make a new one
Also is there supposed to be a scene when I go to sleep? because it just shows a black screen
Hello Wario,
The black screen is an issue with the “Preload Anims” in version 0.60, to fix it currently, disable the option.
The Broken Pickaxe you can find by exploring the Cliff Top, which you access by the Cliff Bottom, after exploring the Forest for a while :).
Thanks about the black screen info. That said, I have been searching at the Cliff Top for 3 full in-game days ans haven't found it. Is there some requisit to get it or it's completely random?
Also, incredible game, if I had money I'd support you
On the contrary, I have only a broken carcass, and there are no materials for its restoration
Try searching in the forest and the Cliff Top to get them
Thank you for the support!
It is completely random. If I remember correctly the tweaks I made to the odds, you may need up to 7 days to have a complete pickaxe, on average. If it takes you longer than that, then the RNG is being a plain bastard.

(Anyway I was hoping to see more scene and fixes about these bugs, also GOOD LUCK and hopping new update soon)
Thank you for the support!
I know the bugs on battles are specially annoying and hinder the game, but the next version will come out in the middle of this week most likely ;).
RAAAHH QUICK UPDATE MY FAVOURITE. Anyway is there a chance there I will be a new character in the roadmap any possibility?
Maybe after version 1.0, but I wouldn’t put much hope in new characters, as the original CG is all for Leah :(.
Hello, Eroism. You are doing a great job. I`m thrilled. And i`m particularly pleased with the pace of updates.

You're a champ mate, I left a tener for the effort. (unfortunately it's AUS) taha.
Thank you for the support, I truly appreciate it :). The project is completely free, so any form of support is highly valuable.
I´m playing on 0.60 ver and when a erotic scene occurs the game screen stays black
That seems to be an issue with the “Preload Anims” setting, disable it and check if the issue persists.
This issue will be fixed in v0.65.
as you said i disabled preload and it worked
Glad it worked for you. On the next version you’ll be able to use the Preload Anims freely :)

How do you use the bugshroom and where do you get insect mucos
Insect Mucus is dropped by the Jellyfishes only currently.
The Bugshroom has no uses as an item yet, other than to sell for some SP. The event is activated by having at least lewdness at level 3 and lust at 40%.
I cant seam to get any beast pelts from killing any enemies, is this a bug or am i not doing something right?
Beast Pelt only drops from Parasite Beasts. Once you defeat the enemies there is a 40% chance to get it.
(I am writing from a translator) Here are the locations opened: forest, to shoreline, to hideout (Remia's shop), to rear beach, doghouse, to cliffside and climb ladder. The question is, if there are more locations that I haven't opened? Or are these all locations and how to open them that are not available?
Those are all the currently implemented discoverable locations.
The locations that are yet to be added to the remake are:

Regarding the dog, I don’t remember the dog having such features on the original game, but it is a good feature suggestion to be implemented on a later phase.
Just now I noticed that version 0.55 has been released. Eh, to suffer again
Sorry about that, you’ll have more time between v0.55 and v0.60.
Hello again, could you add a table of loot from mobs and locations?
There is a wikia for the original game where you can see the drop chances and enemy loot :). The remake follows the original’s drop chances with high accuracy. The biggest difference would be the Broken Pickaxe and Iron Ore ratios on the Cliff’s exploration.
Search for “mushi no kangoku wikia” and you’ll find it.
Greeting. Do you have an email for personal communication with you? It's just that itch is no private messaging function on it
Sure thing, use “emsiore2 {at} gmail” for communicating directly with me.
I wrote to you by email. Did you receive my message? Checking to see if I made the wrong recipient
You got the contact right :)
hey i'm enjoying the game so far would like to check out the original one also but can't find it. would love to compare it to yours and hope you complete the game

Hello again, are you thinking about creating a discord server
Hey there!
It is not currently in my scope to create a server in discord, but maybe in the future.
