Steam Store description

Invading a grime encrusted dystopia straight out the eighties, you're the monster the authorities warned about. Dragging your bloody tentacles on the greasy asphalt, you snatch body after body .

'Long live the new flesh' Look at all those juicy meat-sacks going to waste on those grotty humans! As the HyperParasite you can make better use of them, snatching hosts with your tentacles, absorbing them and their different abilities . Once they die you can discard their skin, but keep on snatching, since one shot as the parasite and it's permadeath . That is, unless you found some nice upgrades , so keep your eyes open…or your feelers high...or whatever a parasite does. 'Hosting makes me feel good' Feed the parasite with over 60 different characters , as you collect and control hosts , each with their own unique attack and smack-down . Hunt down the host class boss, rip their brain off (they didn´t use it anyway), and take it back to Wito's, our ever-greedy shopkeeper . Using some very weird machinery to store the brain , you can then unlock the character with your hard stolen cash. There's even a storage unit for your already coll…

Content descriptors

Being the game a twin-stick shooter/brawler, it's focused on fights that lead to cartoon/fantasy violence. Some background art depicts neon signs for adult-oriented nightclubs. There is one drive-in scene that mildly implies sexual acts inside vehicles. No acts are shown, only the vehicles can be seen bouncing. The game levels are procedurally generated, so this scene is not always present.
