About the Game

Play as a rogue parasite in a cyberpunk setting

The corporations promised transcendence through augmentation - uploaded minds, replaceable bodies, perfect control. What they created instead was a parasite: a fragment of human consciousness trapped in a disposable cybernetic shell

Now you persist by hijacking their machines, turning their soldiers against each other, and pushing deeper into the systems that made you. Every run is another attempt to reach the core and dismantle what’s left.

Every enemy is a threat.... but also an opportunity

Experience a unique twist on turn-based tactical combat where you are alone against hordes of enemies, and the only power at your disposal is the ability to hijack their cyborg minds and turn them against each other

When you hijack a unit, you can use its abilities. By chaining hijacks, exploiting their skills, and using the map to your advantage, you can escape situations that seem impossible at first glance. Success isn’t about perfect execution; it’s about adaptation

Evolve the parasite. Adapt or be erased

Navigate a branching campaign map filled with increasingly dangerous encounters on your way to a final boss that cannot be hijacked. Between runs, evolve the parasite by unlocking new abilities and permanent mutations that reshape how hijacking, control, and survival work

As your mastery grows, you can activate mutators that make enemies stronger and smarter, ensuring every run demands adaptation rather than memorization.
