First released in 2019, Bug Fables is an indie RPG inspired by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems’ Paper Mario series, specifically the first N64 game and its sequel, The Thousand-Year Door. Controlling a party of three bugs, Vi, Kabbu, and Leif, the player explores the land of Bugaria in order to obtain the titular Everlasting Sapling, meeting other bugs along the way. Bug Fables earned a lot of praise from gamers and critics for its characters, combat system, and content, especially in the post-game. While it was first released on the Nintendo Switch in 2019, it came onto other platforms like the PC and PlayStation a year later. Five years after the game’s initial release, fans can now revisit the indie RPG with a lot more post-game content than ever before.
