Thank you for your feedback, I think your correct about the amount of clicking becoming tiresome.

My immediate thoughts to help mitigate the issue:

>Implement a button that allows a player to immediately exit any city to it's 'outskirts' regardless of where they are. (Excluding story/gameplay relevant moments where it would be briefly disabled).

>Implement an 'auto route' select, allowing the player should they wish to sit back and let the game choose the travel route for them.
Both of those would be a huge improvement and massively appreciated. thank you.
Autoresolve combat too for weak enemies.

Delete consistent data. Use a fresh save and the quickstart feature to go back to where you last played.

See if the issue continues.
BTW. quickstart gives you some XP based on the quests chosen. But it does not give you any inventory items based on quest chosen. even if some quests are pretty grindy and surely you must have gotten more than 25 gold by that point.

It should award you gold, XP, and any relevent items. Though I will look into it. :unsure:

I picked most (but not all) quests as being finished already and it started me on level 18 with an inventory of:
25 gold
2 minor potions
1 regular potion

Alderian News!


Hello everyone :)

Remember, if you haven't already, please wishlist Parasite Black over on steam! Every wishlist helps! Link here:

First and foremost, assets and various things are still being gathered for the next update, we'll have a lot of fun and exciting things to show you guys soon!

Another look at one of the Parasite's homeworlds - Above (WIP)

Just to be clear once more on the release schedule:
1.) -Mages of Palam and Captain Nyx update next (This update may be split into two depending on size, with the stories of both being wrapped up ... for now).
2.) - Wrapping up Act 1 (A major focus on Regina update and moving the story along).
3.) Dependent on how the other two updates go, we may do an additional update prior to the steam launch to add hopefully atleast another dozen events to the travel maps feature as well as polish any remaining old content!

On the coding side of things, we've taken on some feedback, and one thing we're now looking into is implementing some stuff to reduce the amount of clicking around the map/traversing around the world, (no more aching wrists from excessive clicking!) We've also implemented an auto-party assigner for combat that can be turned on and off and are looking into whatever else we can to improve the player experience.

Improving combat, such as enemy AI, the flow of combat, and allowing the player to transform into his parasite form during combat is still the main priority for the next update!


(Shani revamp above - WIP)


That's all the news for now,
thank you all so much for your support, you guys are awesome and without you,
this wouldn't be possible!
Love,


-The Damned Studios Team

:unsure: Odd ...we'll take a closer look when we get the chance.

I would love to play this game but no matter what I choose at the start, going to get a hooker or to see Adara at the tavern the game crashes as soon as the MC is about to finish. I have no idea why this is happening or how to get past it so guess I can't play.

Delete persistent data in options. See if the issue persists when you retry.
