Parasite Project

You can't heal. You can only possess.

Parasite Project is a relentless vampire-survival roguelike where health potions don't exist, regeneration is a myth, and your only lifeline is the corpse of the enemy you just killed.

Fight through hordes of hostile creatures, cut them down, and possess their remains before your own body gives out. Every possession is a gamble: each corpse carries a limited amount of residual HP. The fresher the body, the better your chances. Let one rot too long, and it becomes useless—just another tombstone on a battlefield full of them.

When your HP drops below a critical threshold, Hither kicks in: a death spiral that drains your health continuously until you find a new host. There's no outhealing it. No hiding from it. Your only option is to kill, swap, and survive.

Controls:

• ASD – Move
• SPACE – Possess the nearest corpse

Key Features:

• Possession-based survival – No healing items, no passive regen. Every fight is a fight for a new body.
• Hither mechanic – A tension-filled countdown that forces you to stay aggressive. Low HP isn't just dangerous—it's a death sentence unless you act fast.
• Horde survival – Waves of enemies grow in number and ferocity. The longer you survive, the more chaos you face.
• Cunning risk/reward – Do you finish off that last enemy to secure a fresh body, or do you retreat and risk Hither taking you first?
• Atmospheric pixel-art horror – Dark visuals, unsettling animations, and a soundscape that keeps you on edge.
