The Brain Bug is not only the name of the game, but also the name of the creature around which the whole story revolves. The storyline begins with the murder of a man. On the night before the crime, a mysterious creature visited the main character’s head. As a result, the protagonist became obsessed with this insect. In his quest to see this mysterious creation, the anti-hero took the life of the owner of the apartment where it is located. After committing the crime, he, without feeling any regrets and considering his action justified, began to look for the beetle hidden in the room. The man himself often comments on his actions and reacts to interactions with objects.
