What is Nature & Life - Drunk On Nectar?
A third-person nature simulation where you play as insects and spiders in a 3D world at their scale. In Lifecycles mode, you hatch, feed, hunt or hide, grow to adulthood, and reproduce. Survival Sim skips the full lifecycle, while Face Off pits species against each other one-on-one.
For you if...
- +you enjoy learning about insects through their lifecycles
- +you like choosing between lifecycle and shorter survival modes
Not for you if...
- −you dislike hunting prey or hiding from predators
- −you want survival play without mating and reproduction
What players say
87% of 291 reviews are positive
Players praise the variety of species and the educational portrayal of insect lifecycles. The most common complaint is awkward movement and a disorienting camera; some players also report glitches that halt progress or crash the game.
