Key points
- Also titled "Insecticide Part 1"
- The game was intended to be a 2 part series, but Insecticide Part 2 was cancelled when the developers were bought out. This ultimately results in a game with an incomplete story. That being said, the cutscenes for both games were completed beforehand and are available on an official YouTube playlist (Spoiler warning)
