The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A short visual novel that feels like a tense, claustrophobic conversation with a parasitic lover, blending body horror with an intimate, hallucinatory romance.

What players say

Players praise Parasite in Love as a short, unsettling horror visual novel that takes about an hour to see all four endings. Many compare its tone to Junji Ito stories, and several describe the brain-eating amoeba love interest as an abusive partner.
