About This Game

Parasitic Descent challenges players to endure a harsh post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombie-like hosts controlled by parasitic organisms. With limited resources, adaptive enemies, and an unforgiving environment, every choice matters. Are you resourceful and resilient enough to survive and uncover the truth behind the parasitic descent?

- Resource Scarcity:
Scavenge for dwindling supplies, including food, water, and medicine. Every item counts, and every decision can mean the difference between life and death.

- Crafting System:
Utilize a detailed crafting system to create weapons, tools, and shelter. From rudimentary spears to advanced traps, ingenuity is your greatest ally.

- Day-Night Cycle:
Adapt your strategies based on the time of day. The night brings greater dangers, but also unique opportunities for resource gathering and stealth.

- Realistic Needs:
Manage hunger, thirst, fatigue, and mental well-being. The relentless struggle to meet these needs adds a layer of realism and urgency to your survival.

- Weapon Variety:
Equip yourself with an arsenal of makeshift weapons, from melee tools to improvised firearms. Each weapon has distinct advantages and drawbacks.

- Base Building:
Construct and fortify your own safe haven. Upgrade your base with defensive structures, crafting stations, and storage solutions to protect yourself from parasite attacks and hostile survivors.
