A foreign parasitic body enters the system, with the sole intention of control over the brain of the underdeveloped host. The parasite undergoes rapid cycles of metamorphosis within the host as it attempts to lay its eggs throughout and make it to the brain before the host fully develops into its imago stage. Enter Parasitus. You must sling, crawl, translocate, and leech your way to the host’s brain, battling through its hostile microecosystem.

The player controls the Parasite, which changes its form constantly.  Each of the Parasite’s forms have different ways of interacting with the environment. The Parasite cycles through the fast, and agile, web slinging Arachlodo, to the jumping and swimming Sqleuch, to the floating Ghly, able to swap positions with other creatures. The goal is to successfully make your way to the host’s brain, destroying and avoiding the aggressive creatures along way.

We seem to have made ourselves a pretty buggy game, but we figured that would be quite appropriate to the theme. This is really a version 0.5, so stick around (like a bug) for a polished version 1.0. Thanks for playing!
