The Parasites
Game Description:
THE PARASITEs – is an open-world survival horror set in an an abandoned corner, after the fall of a giant meteorite.
You are one of those lucky enough to survive the infection. Every time you try to go beyond the catastrophe, you somehow come back. Your task is to survive and get out of this trap. As time goes by, loneliness and the itch of the parasite begins to put more and more pressure not only on your body, but also on your psyche – can you survive in this nightmare?
There’s no point waiting for help. All you have is a parasite that you have learned to coexist with. By chance, he rewarded you with superhuman strength and survival. Using this, you will have to learn on the go, build shelters, improve your character, create traps, make tools and weapons for hunting and self-defense. Remember about those who are less fortunate, your life is under threat all the time: at any moment you can be killed.
v0.1.2.3.5
The main save file has been renamed. If you want your old saves to work, rename the file “MyCustomSaveGame.sav” to “TPS_BaseSaveGame.sav” and place it in the correct slot.
