Unreal Engine - Parasite Inside [v0.3.5] [Kodman]

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.

To be honest, I dont understand negative feedbacks here. Yes, the game is dark, one model is used on all females, you can get easily lost on the map, there is basically only one enemy, and there are some other issues as well, but I love it! Great story, great graphics, nice MC, awesome animations, awesome game! Definitely looking forward for the story updates.

OK game, but
- Lack of diverse body types (size, shape, skin color, etc)
- AI images for collectables are gross (would not have played if it was tagged)
- Subtitle text can't change size (very small on 4K)
- Way too easy to get lost since no indicator on map to show location
- Too little enemy variety/boring combat
- Flashlight near useless in dark spaces (and there's a lot of them)
- Very large amount of walking/backtracking to have stamina system
Infection system could be better, was hoping for more mutations

VERSION: 0.3.1

interesting concept, very easy to get lost on the map some people could get this as a bad thing, and i agree in some cases but here i got got lost, but also i was really inmerse in the game, and the atmosphere is good the eerie sensation, you are not spamed like hell with monsters instead you get to combat little monsters, but the tension built and the constant fear to be atacked or be surprised with something really helps a lot with this aspect, got a really nice optimization runs pretty well on my laptop at 2k (1440p) all ultra,got consistent 70fps.

Version 0.3.1

• Too damn dark almost everywhere;
• Flashlight sucks, too little fov and not working near walls;
• Sometimes it's hard to find where to go to progress further;
• 1.5 boring enemies - a small blob on tentacle legs which just rush at us and explodes, and the other humanoid one, we have 2 cutscenes with him, but no sex or combat;
• No pregnancy for mc so far.

• Good optimisation;
• I only encountered one bug, so pretty good;
• Hot mc;
• Good graphics for porn game.
• Smooth animations.

Overall 3.5 stars for now.

What could be done to improve the game:

• Much more enemies variety;
• Mc pregnancy;
• Better flashlight;
• More h content with monsters;
• Interactive sex scenes not just in the form of cutscenes;
• Permanent infection debuffs every time you go over 100%

Nice. I am very entertained by this game. There is suspense and an eerie feeling while you try to find your way around a malfunctioning spaceship while fighting parasites. This is not non-stop porn but rather a slow first person shooter with a bit of sex.

I think it has a lot of potential, it would be cool to see more animation with different bad endings and more enemies, maybe even some choices. I hope it continues to improve in the next update and i hope in a release on Steam

One of the best game in its league! Since its still under developement - there will be more awesome scenes and plot twists to come!
Love the voice and emotion behind it.
Personally would love for developers to add an entity that would hunt, grabb and fuck you directly!

Played v0.3.0. Almost a complete game already. If I had to guess, I would say it's 80-90% of the way towards completion in terms of being able to play it start to finish. I am sure many refinements are to come beyond that though, if it keeps being developed.

Overall it's 5/5 for effort. A great amount of effort was made to make this an actual game. It runs well, plays well enough for what it is, and looks good. The weakest point of this game is probably that the H scenes are few, a bit rigid looking, and not very compelling or satisfying. However, the actual game more than makes up for it.

This feels like it's heavily inspired by Haydee and Dead Space, so if you like those games, then manage your expectations because this is definitely not as good as those (right now), but it might still scratch that itch, and it has enough going for it to be worth your time.

Absolutely phenomenal. The graphics and animations are really clean, the gameplay and setting is just excellent as well. Great use of environmental storytelling by the dev as well. the first two scenes where you find the girls are more disturbing than arousing, which I was not expecting at all, but it was so different that I became genuinely interested in this fucked up story, not every day a porn game really leans into the horror element and I appreciate different. This is an amazing start and if this game manages to keep improving from it it would be excellent.

A few things Id love to see if god forbid the dev ever reads these ratings; The horror element was great in the first half, and that's what I was really digging abought this game so it was a shame when it sort of petered out in the second half. I think the last scream you hear is in section 6, which is a shame because they were atmospheric as hell and made you genuinely worried abought what tf the monsters were doing to people and what would happen to you if you got got. with that said, more screams and more fucked up shit happening to people you find would be great to KEEP you worried abought getting caught.

Speaking of getting caught... Once you know what happens when the monsters get you and that you can fix it with a shower.... well the monsters aren't as worrying anymore, you just aren't scared of them anymore. So it would be Interesting to see some permanent effects of getting caught. I like the infection detail after you are taken, so why not make it permanent to some extent. Taking a shower could still reset infection level for the knockdown gameplay mechanic but you could have the markings left on her remain even after the shower, and perhaps even increase the more you get caught as the corruption on her body gets worse. If you wanted a way to still reduce them you could have a rare item that takes you back one level of corruption that you need to find in the map in some of the more hidden rooms that already exist, and going along with that you could even have the girl get to a certain level of corruption that is a game over where her whole body is completely corrupted (this could occur after getting caught 10 times or something with the physical mark left slowly getting worse each time).

In the same vein of getting caught, our girl seems oddly unbothered by what is happening to her. Clearly this has fucked up the other girls this has happened to, so why not have her kick and scream a little more, make it clearly traumatic to an extent, dev diiiiiiiid include a mental health stat, so I'm just saying why not use it. I mean the shit happening to people in this game would be horrifying to anyone in this situation.

Anyways I just really got hooked on the horror elements of this game so that's where I'm coming from. Great work though, please keep it up.

V 0.3
It shows good promise. The setting is different and enjoyable, but hoping it embraces the darker path next to other games that play it too safe and miss out on a good niche.

Platforming is a nightmare.
Barely made it through much of the game without constantly looking at the map.
The AI art collectables are both OK in quality, and yet lazy in terms of creation.

I can not really appreciate this project. the use of AI for the collectibles because apparently making some renders with your 3D character is too hard , to the poor sex animations. But that is not the worse. The worse is the themes of the game. I thought I was going to start getting assaulted by some horny aliens or something but no. The story is depressing as hell. Cannibalism and rapey characters that become aroused at the act of killing and eating people. Nah dude, I am out. The gameplay was not bad up until that point and I was willing to give it a chance in case there was some GOOD sex scene at some point, but that really turned me off real quick. I am glad I read that e-mail/log in-game
