Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is a 2019 role-playing video game developed by Moonsprout Games and published by Dangen Entertainment. Taking inspiration in art and gameplay from the first two Paper Mario games, the game's plot centers around three bugs as they search the mythical land of Bugaria in pursuit of the Everlasting Sapling, an item capable of eternal life. Along the way, they meet rival teams, past traumas, and other roadblocks hunting for the titular sapling.

Runs well on modern hardware.

A true true love letter to the original two Paper Mario games. Dare I speak for my own preference, I may even prefer bug fables over those games. Bug Fables takes the Paper Mario formula and improves upon it with more dynamic gameplay and more challenging battles. The game is packed with charm, and the amount of side content is staggering. The game gives you an optional hard mode that you can toggle on or off from the start, which I left on for the whole playthrough. I found this to be the perfect difficulty level for me, but the option to toggle at any time is very nice. The story was intriguing throughout, and I was sad to see it end when it did. I would recommend fully completing this game, as I never got bored, even with the mountain of side content. Any Paper Mario lovers will love this game, as long as you truly love Paper Mario for the game it is and not just the nostalgia.
I played Escape from Ever After first and liked it a lot. I started with this game and am l liking it so far.
Get this game. Probably the best RPG I've ever played. Lovable characters, a fun combat system, beautiful atmosphere and world-building, this game has almost everything you want in an RPG and more! I just 100% the game with its "Plus" mod, and I couldn't recommend the game enough to people who've been thinking on trying it out. This game is worth your time, and in my opinion, definitely worth the price that it is. - Therealuxie08
