Unreal Engine - Parasite Inside [v0.4.0 public] [Kodman]

"Pure Bait: Promises Maturity, Delivers an Immature and Unfinished Experience"

This game is, unfortunately, a major letdown. It markets itself as a mature experience but delivers childish graphics and a narrative tone that completely misses the mark. The story is tedious and poorly structured, showcasing a clear lack of planning and shallow historical research.

The developer ignores community feedback, surrounding themselves only with foolish fans who fail to see they're being deceived. The gameplay is simplistic and easy, becoming utterly boring on a second playthrough. The game promises a grand adventure but is actually short, artificially padded, and feels like a quick cash grab designed to make money and then vanish.

The monsters and character designs are the final proof that this is not an adult title, featuring inconsistent and weak art direction. It starts strong, but over time it becomes obvious that the primary focus is monetization, not delivering a complete experience. Do not recommend.

**DON'T SHOOT, THIS IS JUST MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION**

Uhhhhhh this shit is actually a solid 3.5/5 if you really give it a chance. Don't just quit out only because "oh it's another UE game that seems directionless". Try to actually finish the entirety of this version (0.4.0
) and you'll see where this is going! Honestly I think the game design is pretty solid but I will agree with others about this game to some degree! Let's get one thing clear.

**THIS REALLY ISN'T A FAPPING KIND OF GAME!!**

Don't get me wrong, Oni is easily among the top 5 hottest characters I've ever seen on this forum! ***HOWEVER*** , the H scenes are rare compared to what you have to complete and when you're fortunate enough to see them, it's..... pretty janky. BUT! The gameplay is solid in terms of movement and puzzles laid out for you are cohesive and understandable so they shouldn't stump you for too long. All in all, it's not anywhere near as shit as some others may be saying but it's not close to a 5 star game either (damn imagine that, a game at 0.4.0 not close to being a 5 star game because it's not close to being finished, who could've thought of that).

Right now, this game deserves a rating of 3.5/5 at a bare minimum based on where it's at in development and the content that it has (bro, I'm currently trying to unlock bonus outfits) and I will stand by this statement. Level design is great, character appeal is fucking crazy, I just wish the H scenes (or lack there of) would be more abundant and improved and DEFINITELY get rid of the AI voice for Oni entirely.

anyway, I give this one a 3.5 for now but that can greatly improve the future. Give this game a chance and ACTUALLY go through the entire content that's offered, you'll see where I'm coming from!

Great game! It has very entertaining mechanics and masterfully blends science fiction and horror.

I'm eager to try the new updates, but only when the developer releases them to the public.

The renders are magnificent!

The game is alright, your typical corridor-based survival horror where you progress through levels. It has collectibles that are now supposedly drawn by a person and not the AI garbage from the previous beta. The problems are the lack of sexual content, the mediocre and annoying enemies like that stupid jumping mushroom, the game's only weapon is a garbage and the aiming is awful, and the lack of puzzles. I hope it improves after the beta.

Some of these 5 star reviews from basically empty accounts are sus as fuck tbh.

I fully agree with other people who left 1 star, or 2 star reviews.

It's a buggy, frustrating and poorly made mess. That's everything I can say after playing it for almost 2 hours. I expected this from an UE game, but I still fell for it anyway, because it really felt like it could be a good game + these false 5 star reviews made me skeptical about negative reviews.

I genuinely have no idea how so many people gave it 5 stars and called it the best/hottest/etc. game. It is not true at all:
- It is poorly made
- It runs like shit
- It has very generic and boring scenes that are pretty poorly made
- I haven't seen any good story whatsoever that some of these 5 star reviews mention
- It's low on content
- And it also plays like shit
So, it's neither a good game or a good porn game. This game is VERY overrated and it's crazy it got 3.8 stars rating.

Anyway, I am tired of typing this out and wasting time on this review because this game doesn't deserve it.

After a year of watching how it's been going and playing it again today, the game still has the same old problem... bugs that kill you and the continued lack of a damn autosave. I understand that this makes players constantly aware of saving, but it's incredibly annoying that the save point is so far away and on top of that you die because of bugs like creatures passing through walls or killer elevators. Visually, the characters and scenery are very good, but I'm giving it 2 stars because it still has the same errors and they haven't fixed them. I'll change my rating when the game is complete and I see that it has improved significantly.

Absolutely perfect variation of the booba alien sex theme, I'm quite interested in the lore as well as the gameplay. It's already fundamentally revolving around unreal engine which I have no complaints that my 1660super and Ryzen 5 5500 desktop can't handle.

(Also thanks for changing the movement on the little squid parasites to make them slower, I just couldn't hit any of them with my meat beating aim.)

Initially this game looks very appealing, it's 3D, animated, and has a very appealing plot, however it is just another re-render of 5 other unreal games, that are basically go all the way from point A to point B , and then all the way to point C. Spend hours to progress minimally and then get a simple generic boring ass sex scene at all. Not worth anyone's time. No fappability, D gets limp within the hour.
Quite frankly, all the reviews that are positive speak of a future or potential that just isn't coming. Not to mention the accounts that were created specifically for the purpose of rating positively these copy paste games.
Rating this game more than 1 star is unfair to all the developers that actually want to make a game, even if it comes out cheap, these games only want to release a lot of games in "beta", same formula, same generic scenes, reskinned props and characters, and not improving upon neither of the games. Yes very pretty and impressive graphics at first glance, but then turns out to be just a wooden nickle.

Edit. Did someone copy my review using a thesaurus? What is happening.
Oh well, as long as it's negative

**Please note, I'll play future versions and probably revise my rating**

I don't know if anyone else had this issue, but the game was very demanding on my PC (not that it's very good, RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 5700, 16GB RAM). I ran more demanding games without any problems.

The setting is the strong point, really good.

The graphics are good, especially for the scenarios and characters. They're nice, but in the cutscenes, they were a bit strange.

The gameplay is good too.

I didn't really like the cutscenes; I found the movement very clunky.

Overall, the game is good. I had high expectations before playing, and it fell a little short of expectations, but anyway, it's a good game.

Anything lower would be an insult. This is not a competed game, it will have issues and lack of content. Mechanic-wise there are features that could be added or expounded upon, but can't complain. As far as a game that is in development with actual game play and content to be found this is next tier. Play-ability is near seamless, graphics are top notch, cut-scenes are near AAA. Would like to see minor additions to increase customization or view character stats , but ultimately this is a high quality game and when completed will likely be a must play.

The game looks like shit
The animations are so basic you could probably replicate them before you're old enough to see them
The character model is ass and not in a good way
The textures are shite
The performance is shite
The game is nearly bloody empty. It's a walking simulator with the occasional extremely loud jumpscare sound.
The graphics are abysmal. Dev probably toggled on every single UE5 "optimization" setting he possibly could have and called it good. No proper LOD's, no baked shadows as far as I can tell even though they could have been used in many, many places, ghosting, heavy dither to work around what I assume is lumen.
There are barely any scenes and even the ones that exist are crap.
How this has 3.5 stars is completely beyond me.

There are no pros to playing this. It's a waste of time.

The game started off promising, but so far haven't delivered on any of the promises or possibilities it could've had. Slow, very uninspired, and filled with AI generated content. It's the typical UE shooter game, where most of the time you do puzzles in the dark, or crouch in the dark.

THE GOOD:
- Hot character model
- Okay story and worldbuilding

THE BAD:
- AI generated art and voice
- Generally uninspired and slow movement and controls
- Delivers basically nothing on the "parasite" aspect

THE UGLY:
- Usual UE4/5 performance and gameplay
- Dev self-censored and removed the only good NSFW scene for no reason

5/10 at max. Could easily be more if the game would actually focus on its themes and would have a faster pace. But the sluggish progression, AI slop and 0 focus on its central themes hurts the game to its core.

I found this overall fairly underwhelming.

Pros:

• Runs very smoothly which isn't always common for a unreal game on here.
• Environments are decent albeit repetitive

Cons:

• AI generated collectables are kinda garbage and feel super low effort
• Voice acting may also be AI, or just bad and robotic
• Pacing is very slow with long hallways and plenty of crouching through poorly lit air ducts with a useless flashlight
• Animations are pretty lacking IMO, they all feel slow and a little robotic with minimal motion beyond some simple loops
• Character model is okay, but is used in multiple NPCs too from the looks of it. Also, the SSS is cranked to like 400% cuz the MC looks like she's made of wax or something at times.

I think there could be potential here though. Seems they are going for something kind of atmospheric and tense, but are kind of lacking a lot on the environments to tell that story. Some datapads try to add lore/story, but they feel just tacked on.

I'm really enjoying this game, and not really for the sexual stuff (Although it is good too). This reminds me of the old school PS1 resident evil/Dino Crisis games, but with better gameplay and camera perspective. Also level design here doesn't get enough credit with how the crouching thru vents and corridors leads you around. The developer did a spectacular job weaving a maze that leads you to where you need to go just to unlock a door you couldn't access initially, it's awesome! Lots of backtracking, and some minor puzzles. It's not terrifying, but it's definitely nostalgic. Even the Dialogue is Nostalgic, cause it's just bad LOL, but bad in a good way. I hope whomever made this does many more like this, cause this is definitely it's own Niche type game for those who grew up playing PS1 horror games. My only complaint which isn't even a complaint, but more of a want, is maybe add more items to interact with and, or find. I really enjoy trying to figure out how to access a room I can see, but can't yet get too. Also the characters running animations with and without the gun are great. And I can't forget the MC's Jiggle physics, and the lewd outfits. Just overall, super enjoyable. Plus my 1660 Super which is outdated AF ran this fine, although I had to turn down the performance, but it ran it at Ultra settings, I just didn't want to hear my fans spinning like Jet engines, So I turned my settings down, but everything is good now!

There is a lot to like here. It's like a low intensity, sexy version of Dead Space.
The game plays like a maze with door and keys that slowly open up to you. The level design is thoughtful but tedious at times. New concepts are not always properly introduced and situations that seem similar often require very different solutions, particularly the electrical puzzles, they're never solved the same way.

It's very playable in it's current state but some things feel missing or inconsistent. For instance you can seemingly never exceed 'deep infection 10%' and showering gets rid of the 'deep infection' completely.

The voice acting is adequate. Having voice acting at all is quite nice.

I hit a bug where I couldn't holster or use my pistol. A reload fixed it.

The cut scenes feel too slow.

The costumes are a nice addition but I didn't feel like I wanted to use any of them. The implant system feels unnecessary. The collectible magazines are nice but feel tacked on, in their current iteration they feel like a missed opportunity to expand on the lore of the world. You could for example change them to be magazine covers with headlines that tell you something about the world.

The core game play loop is traversing the space ship. The main story element is the gradual corruption by the parasite. That is enough to make a fun game. I hope the developer doesn't fall into the trap of adding too many features or systems. I would gladly trade the implant system for another sex scene or another level to explore.

Great game, flawed, but has a lot of potential.

Reviewing this as of v0.3.5. There aren't many high quality adult 3D games. This one is, though. If you were to play this censored, it would still be a pretty solid indie game, and that speaks volumes for it. It's fun finding the cards and costumes. As of the time of writing this, I've found 25/30, and I'm close enough to the end that I think I have to accept I won't find the other five in this runthrough. Good story told mostly through email you find. If you paid zero attention to the story, the theme, attractive MC, and tension still carry the game well. I also feel the difficulty feels right. Highly recommended.

This game is a waste of time and is just the worst in every way.

First you have a useless flashlight that lights up literally nothing yet 90% of the game is pitch black rooms.

Second your supposed to do a bunch of things and find items yet the game gives ZERO help how to find them and the so called "navigator" implant only shows where the next objective is which is obvious but not where to find the small items that are spread all around the ship where you have to run back and for and check every nook and cranny for.

Third and most importantly this game runs like absolute dogshit even if you are over the specs that are required to the point where it is straight up unplayable unless you are a masochist. I tried, I really did to get past this and give this game a chance, but after a couple of hours of running through dark rooms with garbage performance I just gave up.

I don't like to give 1 star reviews ever, but this is an exception due to how horriblly made this game is.

Don't waste your time.

This is a game with some insane potential. Ive imagined a game like this for a long time, but didnt think anyone would actually make it. But this game is awesome if you like tentacle/parasite and monster stuff. The sci fi atmosphere is great. Animations are great. Its got voice acting that is serviceable. The puzzles are interesting and the gameplay is calm which is nice. Outfits are all good.

Only negatives are that the gunplay needs work, it needs more enemies, and it needs more H scenes. It really just needs more of everything, and to be finished obviously.


A lot of lewd games crash and burn so hopefully this one gets fully finished because it could definitely be my favorite

Maintains tense, immersive atmosphere, without jumpscares. Mostly gameplay with pretty well integrated lewd parts. H-scene instead of game over helps the flow.
Got stuck once due to a stupid oversight, but smooth progression seems possible. Shooting enemies seems diffucult, but running away or just getting infected is an option.
Runs well, only minor technical issue I encountered was camera clipping through walls in some narrow places.

What is there looks nice and polished already. Has not been in development that long so it is not nearly done.
So far there is already a lot to explore and get lost in but combat is not really there yet, there is only one type of enemy you can encounter and it is the rush at you and explode type. As such it is a horror game but without any danger the tension is kinda low.
As of 0.3.1:
A bunch of scenes and different outfits. Scenes are only now ramping up in intensity if you know what I mean.
Positives:
Runs like a dream in maxed out 4k on a 8gb 3070 laptop.
Curvy women with wobbly bits.
Already lots to explore, optional loot to be found.
Negatives:
Some areas are just too dark, combined with HDR misfiring I sometimes could not see anything. The C-bracelet(?) is supposed to provide light but it doesn't work.
Some animations look too slow and take too long exacerbated by slow orbiting of the camera around the subject. Some dynamic shots or composition would make it feel more alive.
Gunplay doesn't really feel right and the sound is a bit weak, but you don't really need it yet anyways.
