Instructions: 

You are an insect breeder, tasked with purchasing, breeding, and selling insects of various rarities.

From your computer, you can buy and sell your insects, as well as access the menu options. 

To start, you can purchase some Unt eggs from the “Buy” section. Once purchased, the Unt egg will go to your Incubator automatically.

The Incubator will show how Many eggs you have queued up, and the time left for the current incubation. Once fully incubated, your hatched insect will automatically be deposited in the main tank.

In the main tank, You can watch your insects. If they have a question mark Over their head, they are hungry. You can dispense food by clicking On the food container. You can buy more food from the buy screen of the computer

To breed new insects, go over to the breeding journal. On each page, you can select an insect to breed. Once selected, you'll see the insects name, as well as any Mutations it possesses. Once an insect is selected for both pages, they will begin creating an egg. Egg goes directly to the incubator.

When you breed two creatures together, there is a chance the offspring will have one of several mutations.  Mutations make the insect more valuable and change a couple of it’s stats slightly.  Any mutations both parents share is automatically inherited by the offspring.
