About the Game

Unwanted Host is a roguelite where you’re the star of a live torture show with a surprise: a parasite is hiding inside you.

Cut yourself open, manage your limited time, and kill it before it takes control of your body.

A tense body-horror experience where every decision has a cost, and every mistake can be your last.

FIND THE PARASITE

Somewhere within you, the parasite is hiding.

Examine, cut, and search through your organs to track it down. Once you find it, neutralize it with experimental injections. But be careful, one wrong move and you’ll destroy your organs.

Play it safe, or trust your instincts and gamble on where it’s hiding.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Every item, every decision, and every second brings you closer to losing control.
When time runs out, the parasite fights back. Plan fast. Act faster.

ADAPT… OR LOSE YOURSELF

Experiment with tools, combine effects, and shape your strategy as the parasites evolve.
Each run introduces new threats, behaviors, and ways to fail.

ENTERTAIN THE AUDIENCE

The audience is watching and they want a big show.
Complete their requests to earn their favor, or suffer the consequences.

But no matter what happens, even if you die, some else will take your place. The show must go on.
