Maggie and Peter are bounty hunters - at least they were, until Maggie's ex-girlfriend Eleanor hires them to solve a mystery. Her rare insect collection was stolen, and she would like it back. Also, Peter is a sentient explosion, and I personally think that is really cool!

Will Maggie and Peter find the missing bugs? Will Maggie win Eleanor back or will she finally listen to Peter and move on? Does a game count as a visual novel if you control a moving character?
