What is it? A singleplayer adventure on a mysterious island populated with snack-based bugs.

The bugsnax that affected me most is the weenyworm. A weenyworm is a hot dog (with bun) that squiggles around in a circle saying “weenyworm” in a sing-songy voice that I’d describe as “nasal” if it didn’t imply a nose, which weenyworms don’t have. When I capture one, I can feed it to a grumpus—a furry person, more or less, whose body parts turn into the bugsnax they eat.
