So you get action with 1 girl, then you romance another similar girl who looks a bit different, then you romance another girl who is green, then another girl who is black, then another girl who is furry, then another girl who is slime.

Don't people get a dejavu at some point, like you did that already and this is just an endlessly repeating pattern of romancing and fucking the exact same girl over and over?

Let me add a few more thoughts about the combat.
(yes, I'm a gamer and this has a chance to become a real, playable game, not just a porn slideshow so making a good gameplay is essential for it).

As I said, it became much easier now. As others noticed it's partly because enemies are using some healing spells a lot instead of attacking. Definitely too much. You smash them and they do nothing. It needs to be fixed.

Another thing is Marcus. Previously he joined Caspian only in some combats. Now you can have him all the time I guess. It makes the fight really unbalanced - think of 3 ordinary thugs vs 2 mutant beasts battle. It also makes some plot problems. Previously he had his own life. Does he follow Caspian everywhere like a puppy now? Holds the candle when Caspian shags some lady? ;)

Elena as Caspian companion never leaving him makes much sense. And she wouldn't be that powerful which makes fights more challenging.

Generally managing the party needs to be worked on more. People appear and disappear randomly during fights, menu says that you have 4 members while you have 2 etc.

To solve the issue of missing so many attacks, you need to increase your agility. At least, that's what I did, and now I hardly ever miss an attack. I have agility between 15 and 20.

As for Elena, she gets selected for me without any problems. At least, I could use her in the caravan escort mission and another one that I don't remember. But she doesn't appear when I attack the Demoraids at night in the Valley of Death, and when I attack Slimejark, my stats reset to default.
I'm talking before you got any points to put into stats. And even then, for high level scouts specifically, the chance to miss is noticeably higher than any other enemy.

As for the selection thing, it is just a straight up bug I discovered by the looks of it.

There seems to be a huge performance issue related to the ero scenes but surprisingly it's inconsistent. Some scenes have slow downs and some scenes don't, some of the affected scenes also have partial slowdown for some reason. For example the Adara scenes which take place in the back alley with animated npc movement in the background are slow in its entirety while Arlena doggy and BJ have partial slowdowns (slowdown in the first half for the former and second half for the latter) and when these slowdowns occur only the CPU is at 100% capacity according to the task manager. Some of the Ves scenes have partial slowdowns too. I don't what format the animations files are in but they shouldn't be this resource intensive. I hope it gets resolved in the upcoming version.
If they are video then it's most likely you're using an older GPU. Some of the videos may be encoded with an encoder your GPU/drivers don't support, so it resorts to CPU-based decoding. I see a lot of this with AV1 and x/H265 stuff. Sometimes x/H264 because some users have *really* old cards. You can try forcing hardware acceleration (Shift+G, try GL2, GLES2 is a limited version of GL2 for embedded smaller devices, may also help but probably not), but that may not affect the videos being rendered if they are videos. You can try asking the developer to render them in H264 (much more widely supported). If you're using an Intel GPU give up, they always have been and always will be garbage, I don't make the rules, they didn't give a flying fuck about GPUs and only included them to pull in money back in the day. My CPU usage (AMD) is only 1% to 3%.

I think it feels that way because sometimes it's just... way too easy. I don't mean "gameplay" easy, but the girls (or whoever, I guess) seem unnaturally attracted the the MC for far too vague or contrived reasons.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
There's nothing wrong with cheap fucks, but making a game out of them certainly feels a bit... boring. Same way the developers recognized there needs to be a way for the MC to understand that they're still not even close to being really strong by introducing the masked guy, so that there is a point in trying to get stronger, richer or whatever.

I think Nyx should have been part of that impossible challenge, another motivation for both player and MC, but no. Yes, even the head prostitute refuses to sleep with you because you're poor, but the "upstanding" captain... Now it once again seems like MC could have anyone at anytime (obviously some things are not yet written but you get the idea). The challenge is also undermined by the fact that things like the rape pheromones and such are simply introduced way too early.

This is actually quite easy to explain. He's handsome, he's a war hero and most of all he's not a normal man but some mutant where sex related stuff is an important part of his mutation. Let's say he releases some pheromones, scent or whatever which makes everyone except straight guys totally attracted to him.

It's also a world where magic exists so his attractiveness may be somehow magical in its nature.

I won't go too much into the deep lore about the actual species of the parasites yet and their full nature.

But I've always been quite candid about the many influences on the parasites, outside of the obvious stuff, Venom, Tyranids, Xenomorphs etc being a big influence on their design.

The film(s), at least the first two: 'Species' were a pretty big inspiration on the sexual element.

This!

It's baffling to me how some people somehow dismiss/ignore that.
He's a total chad and a nice guy as well (atleast in my playthrough he is). Of course women will be all over him...

..., Tyranids,...
Now that you mention it, the little foreshadowing at the start and the constant need to reproduce does have something of a genestealer cult... oh god-emperor! We're a patriarch!!!

Anyway, I can't install the apk. It simply says "app not installed". Anyone know why?

Ye, I just tested after deleting all renpy/game saves. And it doesn't work for me anymore either. No idea how i got it to work in the first place oO
Anyway i tinkered some more, here's the second attempt, now I've tested it after deleting everything, and it seems to work.
Try it again. As before just put it in the ParasiteBlack\game folder
What I tested specifically was starting from Act 1, not from the beginning, I don't think it should matter, but history would suggest I don't quite get renpy...
Oh, and maybe delete the old file if you still have it in your game folder
Sombody please fix the Gallery . This game is wierd . after two years you have play Mortal combat we're not 6 .
I know I can forget about it so sombody fix it plz :|

If I recall it correctly H.R. Giger worked on both Alien and Species as designer of the creatures, one of his paintings were basis for Xenomorph, if I'm not mistaken Necronom IV was name of it. Man had fascination with fusing flesh and mechanics that bordered with body horror, lot of sexual elements too, you'll know what I mean, if you've seen his works,

I haven't touched this game since the prologue first dropped. And I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of new content added since then. Now onto feedback.

1) The incest patch is about as effective as a single bucket for a leaking roof littered with holes during a rainstorm. Somebody should probably fix that by the time the sister content starts to get added.

2) The combat team menu is bugged. I can no longer edit the team. Hilariously enough my team is locked into having 2 copies of the MC, Marcus, and Elena. And none of them can access their second skills during combat. But the MC and Marcus can use their second skills in combat when it's just the two of them in their human forms. Marcus needs a new post parasite battle sprite and Kiara could use a unique battle sprite as well.

3) There is a lack of design consistency between the character art and animated scenes. For example you can not tell me the lady you bang in the market is actually Nijah. More consistency with the character designs going forward would be greatly appreciated. Dialogue consistency would also be nice. I told Regina bout the parasite in the prologue but the ally scene with her completely ignored that.

4) Have you guys thought about having job classes for the characters? Job classes and some more unique character skills in addition to better enemy AI might go a long way with improving combat. Because after all teambuilding is half the fun in turn based games.

Overall I'm really enjoying the game and can't wait to see where this goes. You guys have a real gem here and I wish the dev team all the best in polishing this gem until it gleams bright.

He did indeed work on both. His work was also used as the basis for the game 'Scorn.'

Just finished playing the latest update and some things I noticed:

- First of all, I did play this game earlier and progress seems to be going great, well done!

- Lots of nice ladies, I am personally not into futa/gay/furry stuff but hey, that's all optional and can be easily skipped, another sound design decision!

- Talking about the ladies, I know there has been a change in artist(s) so some inconsistency is expected but currently some LI's look very different during the H-scenes from their standard game sprite. This is especially noticable with Elena, Myu and the ramonan girl. The last one for example has long hair in the sprite but pretty short hair during her naughty scenes
And yes, I know some LI's still need an updated game sprite (Erika, Arlena etc.)
So, I know this one is going to take a lot of work to fix (new art work is taking time) but it would increase the game quality tremendously in my eyes

- Did run into the same duplication bug as posted here, made the battle VERY easy........
Talking about the battle system, as mentioned before it needs tweaking. It is currently too easy because 80% of the time the enemy uses a healing buff instead of attacking you.

- So far we cannot explore much of the map but judging by the size of it this game is going to be big?!! Oh boy, oh boy. :p

- I do not know if there are more LI's planned but I would advise to not put too many in, that way every LI can have sufficient screen time to shine
(A really bad example would be Reunion, that game had 24 LI's and with the last update the dev crammed in 6 more, I can no longer track who's who)

Long story short: Love it, keep it up! (y)
