Publishers whitthorn games (Wytchwood, Lake and Princess Farmer) and developer TNgeneers Enjoy a comfortable beekeeping simulator epico Now also released for the Nintendo Switch. The game uses beekeeping and floriculture techniques in its gameplay to teach players the importance of beekeeping in the ecosystem.

This educational approach is not only the core of the game, but also actively promotes the protection of bees. A portion of APICO sales is donated to national and international bee charities, beekeeping and conservation of wild bees. TNgineers encourages players to help save bees in any way they can, big or small. This includes donating to bee-worthy causes related to bees, purchasing sustainably farmed produce, letting flower beds grow wildflowers, or simply raising awareness for those around you.

That’s what APICO is all about

Combining resource gathering, biology, mini-games, and ideas from real and cool beekeeping and gardening, APICO teaches players the inner workings of a healthy hive and the importance of our irreplaceable pollinating friends. The APICO islands were teeming with different types of bees, and it is up to players to rediscover lost species, breed new ones, and resettle each bee colony. The more you advance in the game, the more secrets you will forget.

Epico Nintendo Switch Trailer:

The game is presented in the form of a nice isometric pixel. As a member of the beekeeping family, players control their character across the different islands and try to grow their own bee colonies. More than 30 different species of bees can be raised, collected and kept.

It is also about running the family business. Honey and other beekeeping products must be produced and sold. For this you have to collect craft materials and tools and complete beekeeping mini games to help the bees.

APICO can be played with up to four players and offers cross-play across all supported platforms. This allows players to visit their friends’ farms and help each other conserve bees. The game has been available for Nintendo Switch since July 8 and has already been released for PC (Steam, Epic Games, Humble Store, itch.io, GameJolt).
