What is epico?

In Epico you set out on an exciting adventure that combines resource gathering, biology and engaging minigames inspired by real life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening. As you explore the game, you’ll learn all about maintaining a thriving hive and the important role our fluffy friends play in keeping our ecosystem healthy.

The game is based on a series of mysterious islands that were once filled with various bee species. Your goal is to rediscover these lost species, breed new species, and bring life back to each unique “bee-ome”. As you progress, you’ll uncover hidden secrets and surprises along the way.

There is also more of an element of partner casual games such as Stardew ValleySo if you like this kind of thing and haven’t checked out Epico yet, you should do so immediately.
