About Parasite in Love

STORY


A biological romance horror visual novel

Infected with the parasite commonly known as the “brain eating amoeba”, you have 10 days left before your death. One of the symptoms is hallucinations. And through that, “he” starts to talk and confesses his love to you. Will you be able to convince the parasite to leave your body before it’s too late? Or will his love consume you “until death do us part”?

This game was made for the Spooktober VN Jam 2022.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's striking art direction, unique premise, and atmospheric presentation that effectively delivers psychological horror in a short runtime of around an hour. Common criticisms include some repetitive middle sections, lack of full voice acting, and stereotypical character archetypes, though the memorable parasite character and multiple endings help offset these concerns. The game succeeds in creating an emotionally resonant experience that lingers with players despite its brevity.

The true moral of the story is to not swim in fresh water. Side note: I adore the animation when you open up the menu.

I admit that I initially didn't have much expected from this game. I was tired and in the last stretch of finals at my university when I played through this, then found that I enjoyed it quite a bit. That said, despite my notion that it wouldn't have much of an effect on me, I was wrong. After settling on an all-nighter that night to pack my things to leave the dorm in the following afternoon, I found that my nerves, worsened by my lack of sleep, made me far too uncomfortable throughout the entirety of my morning routine, which took place at the kitchenette sink, nestled in the dark corner of my little dorm room, made even more claustrophobic by my desk and its shelves that sat right in front of it. I found myself constantly swiveling around to check behind me, haunted by the sense that perhaps Niall would suddenly appear as I stood at the sink as he did in this game. Brrrr. No thank you.

Unique premise. Short, but gets the message across sufficiently. The atmosphere is lovely. Took around an hour to achieve all endings. Would recommend to anyone who likes psychological horror.
