Summary

  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun writer Ryan Rigney finds himself regularly infested by fruit flies and mosquitoes every year and has devised methods using non-violent means to try and remove them from his kitchen.
  • He has designed this experience into an asymmetrical multiplayer game called The Mosquito Gang, which sees one regular-sized player attempt to do household chores while four miniature mosquito players attempt to get their blood.
  • TheBlood bank mechanic allows extracted blood to be used to unlock new abilities and modifiers, which the mosquitoes can use to increase their chances of succeeding.
  • The objectives of the mosquito players and the household chores the larger player must do can be customised, with new abilities and upgrades able to be purchased with in-game credits earned by completing tasks.
  • The Mosquito Gang is slated for release later in 2023, and can be Wishlisted on Steam now.
