Nyah is a young city girl who is suddenly cast into an uncanny world where dangerous pink spirits linger restlessly in bottomless canyons, icy caves and moonlit deserts. Play as both Nyah and her spirit companion in tandem, using their telekinetic beam to create a powerful connection that can swing Nyah to new heights, destroy barriers, thwart spirits and light the way to secret locations. Collect treasures in Nyah’s lunchbox that reveal fragments of Nyah’s life and use special items to unlock secret challenge levels. Join Nyah and discover the power she holds within.
Diversity in Gaming
The base concept for Little Bug came from the lack of diverse female protagonists within gaming that Buddy System felt was being underrepresented. “Women of color have had to identify with characters that don’t represent them.” said Hana Harada, co-creator of the Little Bug, “We offer Nyah’s story as just one of the many that we have yet to hear.”
