![]() ![]() “If too abstract, you understand someone is sad about losing a partner, but you can't be sad about it if you don't know or feel anything about that relationship,” they explained. But Zuhn really emphasized that, while Eggabell remained dead, even that level of showing still felt more like telling. One solution that came in between the first and final versions of the story was to add the videotapes players can collect around Snaktooth, which give a glimpse into Eggabell and Lizbert’s relationship. With the caveat that it sucked, all of it sucked,” Zuhn said. I didn't know that much about Eggabell as a character because of the way that story was structured. Very much alive, she helps players understand more about what’s happened and, functionally, set players off on a quest to open a mysterious door into the heart of the island.įor a number of reasons that Zuhn dove into as we spoke, they succinctly explained how that original version of events, sans Eggabell, in his own words, quite simply “sucked.” “At the time that draft was written, I knew that Lizbert's partner had died before I knew who her partner was. Eggabell, in fact, is paramount to the third act. Now, obviously, none of that happens in the actual game. And rather than even having a body to bury, Eggabell splits apart into a host of other Bugsnax. After an altercation, where a clearly not-in-control Eggabell attacked Lizbert, the latter pushes Eggabell off of her, and off of a cliff, to her doom. Lizbert explains how Eggabell missed a jump as they were scaling the island’s peaks, and when Lizbert managed to pull her up, her Bugsnax-addicted love had become something else, something almost zombie-like in how fully the Bugsnax had taken over. ![]() And that’s the fact that Eggabell died on her and Lizbert’s adventures up the mountain – and in a gruesome fashion. But undoubtedly the biggest change from Bugsnax’s original version to what all of us actually played, occurs before you even get to the UnderSnax (which didn’t even exist in that first draft - it’s just some cave Lizbert is in). ![]() The bones of this ending are in the original draft, unlike the bones of the boneless Bugsnax, but much of how it plays out is drastically different, simultaneously darker and sillier in many regards. There’s also a post-credits sequence, but we’ll get to that in a bit. Before returning to regular life, the player has a chance to speak with each surviving Grumpus about what’s happened, and what they hope to do now. ![]() Players then go through a bit of a gauntlet, fending off the snax while saving the island’s denizens to make a daring escape back to the mainland safely with either some or all of the Grumpuses. Lizbert and her love Eggabell remain in the UnderSnax to keep the parasites at bay while the player, along with Filbo, head back to the surface to save all the other Grumpuses and escape the grasp of the Bugsnax. You can check out the full run-down of the ending in our Bugsnax wiki guide, but in short, here’s how the adventure actually wraps up: Players discover Lizbert Megafig (who invited the main character to Snaktooth Island in the first place) has now assumed a controlling role over the Bugsnax, but that hold is waning as the body-consuming parasites grow in power. ![]()
