''Escape From Bug Island'' (''Necro-Nesia'' in Japan) is a SurvivalHorror game made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii.

* LetsPlay: ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' featured a partial playthrough as part of their 'Shitstorm of Scariness 3' series, and they later revisited the game and completed it.

* ActionBomb: The exploding ants.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Two handed weapons are stronger and only slightly slower to use, but they prevent you from being able to use the flashlight. Averted at the game's halfway point when you get a clip-on light, allowing you to use a light while a two-handed weapon is equipped.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The main foes of the game, as implied by the title.

* EscortMission: Subverted. Only one level forces you to escort an AI character, and they seem to be invincible. The only problem is making sure she follows you- see ArtificialStupidity above.

* FanService: The Amazonian lizard women are portrayed this way (at first). Upon introduction the cutscene introduces the enemy type descending on Ray from the mist [[MaleGaze focused on their bodies]] slowing panning up revealing the stature and figure of a beach babe...
** FanDisservice: ...then you get an extreme close-up of their [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily snarling]] [[NightmareFace lizard-face]]. [[NightmareFetishist Unless you're into that.]]

* FutureShadowing: [[spoiler: Half way in the game, Ray falls down from a cliff and finds himself waking up at the starting section of the game with all of his inventory carried over. He quickly figures out he's in a time-loop and puts his knowledge to use to save almost everyone on the island.]]
* GuideDangIt: See SideQuest below.

* IdiotBall: Lynn can call in a chopper and evacuate everybody off the island. She dies before actually doing so, despite already being reunited with her fiance Robert. [[spoiler:Even after the time jump where Lynn survives she doesn't think to call in evacuation until after Robert is dead and Michelle is in immense danger.]]

* SurvivalHorror

* TooDumbToLive: At the start of the game Michelle almost immediately leaves the main camp and wanders off into the woods... alone, at dark, with no light, weapons, or means of communication with her friends.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Ray and Mike, along with Michelle who had them tag along to begin with. Inevitably, Michelle caught the interest of Mike, who gets competitive with Ray. [[spoiler: Ray, being somewhat empathetic about it, ends up getting with Michelle anyway, but Mike takes it well.]]

* NonIndicativeName: The Japanese version of the game is simply called "Necro-Nesia" after the island that serves as the game's setting.
** "Bug Island" isn't much better, given you often fight canine men, lizard women, and a giant gorilla boss at least six times.

** FanDisservice: ...then you get an extreme close-up of their [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily snarling]] [[NightmareFace lizard-face]].

* LoveTriangle: A light-hearted example with Ray, Mike and Michelle. Ray and Mike just casually competes over her love while she's clueless to both of them.

** Lynn and Harry qualifies too.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: When you finish off the Gorilla, both times, Ray appears to show some sympathy towards it. Probably unintentionial.]]

* CoversAlwaysSpoil: The game's box announces [[spoiler:Time Travel]] as a feature of the game, and even calls out the level where it happens by name.

** Lynn and Harry qualifies too.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Two handed weapons are stronger and only slightly slower to use, but they prevent you from being able to use the flashlight. At the game's halfway point you get a clip-on light, which can be used while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
** The handgun takes a lot of shots to kill enemies compared to regular melee weapons.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: As you might expect, the main foes of the game.

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: To make it ridiculous, the game [[spoiler: '''repeats''' half way in.]]

* EscortMission: Subverted. The one level that has it is short enough to not be a problem, and the AI partner appears to be invincible either. The only issue is making sure they do follow you.

* MultipleEndings: Beating the game the second time nets you a different ending.

* SideQuest: Each section of the game has secondary objectives, which are not necessary to complete the game, especially since you won't know without ''beating each section'' or [[GuideDangIt looking up a guide.]]

* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: Every character in the game dies... then averted when you time-travel to the start of the game and save just about all of them.]]

* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: Every character in the game dies... then averted when you time-travel to the start of the game and save all of them.]]

* EndGameResultsScreen: One of the ways to discover what your bonus objectives were for the level ''you just finished!''

The player takes control of a guy named Ray, who is traveling on an island with his two friends. Later, they both go missing, and he soon discovers that the island is filled with mutated bugs and creatures.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Two handed weapons are stronger and not that much slower to use, but they prevent you from being able to use the flashlight until you get the clip-on light at the game's halfway point. Opinions vary on how useful the flashlight is, however.

* BoringButPractical: The benefit to throwing rocks is that you always carry 99 of them, refill them completely at any rock pile, and they do a moderate amount of damage.

* [[spoiler: SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong:]] [[spoiler: Ray can do this halfway through the game]].

* AwesomeButImpractical: Two handed weapons are stronger and not that much slower to use, but without a flashlight in one hand, you are blind unless you find a clip-on light.

* FutureShadowing: [[spoiler: Half way in the game, Ray falls down from a cliff and finds himself waking up at the starting section of the game with all of his inventory carried over. This is never brought up after that, but Ray ''does'' put this knowledge to use and manages to save almost everyone.]]

* HyperspaceArsenal: You can carry many weapons, on top of 99 rocks, and every health item you can find in the game. The only limits that exist are on ammunition and each amount of throwing items you have.

* KillerGorilla: There are Giant Gorillas as enemies in this game (or maybe just one that you fight repeatedly that only dies at the end of the game). For some reason their brains are exposed which makes for an easy weakness to exploit.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Robert Dallas]]

* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: Support characters are dying left and right, even ones you just met, as you progress in the game. Completely averted after the "time drive" though.]]

* FutureShadowing: [[spoiler: Half way in the game, Ray falls down from a cliff and finds himself waking up at the starting section of the game with all of his inventory carried over.

* KillerGorilla: There are Giant Gorillas as enemies in this game. For some reason their brains are exposed which makes for an easy weakness to exploit.

* LizardFolk: Partway through the game, you encounter "Amazonian lizard women" in addition to the giant bugs.

* TitleDrop: When you visit the temple the second time, there is a diary entry where the author mentioned "Escape From Bug Island"

* AwesomeButImpractical: Two handed weapons are stronger and not that much slower to use, but without a flashlight in one hand, you are blind! Unless you find a clip-on light that is, then it becomes [[AwesomeYetPractical averted]].
