Overview

Catch the Dustling invites players into a unique scientific predicament where logic and quick thinking are paramount. You step into the shoes of Aiko, a junior scientist at a newly transferred lab. Unfortunately, a failed experiment has unleashed a swarm of 'dustlings' – creatures from another dimension that defy the laws of physics. Aiko's mission is to capture all these elusive beings before they wreak havoc on the lab. Fortunately, she's not alone; her boss, Mrs. Carpenter, has experience with these interdimensional pests, and the brilliant inventor Eugene has developed a specialized trap.
