STORY.

The Core, the chamber that stores the Emperor Butterfly, is the powerhouse that gives the Lepidopterans and its agents the power to turn themselves into insects. One catastrophic event struck the Core, splitting the Emperor into parts, and causing the agents to malfunction and revert into insects with the inability to switch back, thus rendering them insane.

You play as special agent Scarlet, the leader of the special squad "Lepidoptera" - also one of the only two to survive the event - to venture down the floors of the Hive, as it's occupied with your aggravated and confused staff with Navy's assistance, and fix the Core to restore stability and order to the Hive.
