Parasite in City is a side-scrolling zombie action survival game crafted in pixel graphics that delivers lovely hentai animations for the fans of zombies and insects. Play as a random blonde woman who must overcome the Zombie apocalypse and survive.
Developed and released by Pixel Factory on 29th of November 2013, the game is being sold on DLsite. Parasite in City is Pixel Factory’s only creation, and from what I could gather, the developer has not made a reappearance since 2014.
Parasite in City Gameplay
Step into the shoes of a nameless Blonde woman who wakes up to terrors of a sudden zombie apocalypse. Your journey begins at a sewer level from which you must escape back to the surface. Fight through three simplistic side-scrolling levels filled with rotting zombies and mutated insects.
Each level brings new enemies to face, and with increasing challenge the further you get, the levels become more difficult to beat. Spare your precious ammo wherever possible and avoid getting overwhelmed by enemies from both sides in order to stay alive.
The controls are quite similar to JK Hazard, another lewd side-scrolling apocalypse pixel action survival game. While my review of JK Hazard is an outdated one, something I am not very proud of, I believe it still manages to demonstrate the frustration of the controls. Though Parasite in City performs mildly better compared to JK Hazard, it still ends up giving moments of utter frustration to the player.
Left without music, the world of Parasite in City feels awfully shallow, despite its decently crafted pixel world. The ear-irritating gunfire sound effect and heavy breathing of the zombies are mostly what you will be listening to throughout your gameplay.
Despite the not-so-good gameplay experience, Parasite in City offers excellently animated pixel hentai. The hentai is perhaps the only redeeming factor in the game because, without it, I probably would not have bothered to even play past the second level.
Parasite in City is a grim world filled with filthy sex between the blonde and all the enemies she faces. That means zombies and insects. The sex scenes feature things like gangrape, lesbians, and tentacles.
There are seven unique enemy types, each with their own hentai animations that trigger when getting caught. Some enemies can have more than one H-animation.
When defeated, you are greeted by a lewd Game Over screen featuring an enemy that defeated you. There are a total of seven Game Over H-scenes to enjoy.
Parasite in City offers a typical hentai gallery for the Game Over scenes, but also a prison gallery mode where the player can enjoy all the enemy H-animations in confined space.
Though it is one of the slowest gallery modes I have ever seen when forced to watch the enemies walk inside the room one by one ever so slowly, it is still a much appreciated gallery mode to have.
Parasite in City 2 Failed Project
Back when Parasite in City was under development, Pixel Factory kept a blog where he used to post development progress updates to his followers.
In November of 2013, the developer celebrated the sales of Parasite in City with a small post. In the next post, in just 1 month, Pixel Factory claimed to have sold over 5,000 copies of their game on DLsite. In this very same post, the developer announced a sequel to Parasite in City, but after over 6 years of complete silence, it is safe to say the project died before it even got started…
October of 2014 marked Pixel Factory’s last post written in broken English: “Please be patience, this process of develop is take year. I can not promise nothing yet but I will never stop”.
The developer is a Japanese person, so broken English is to be expected. He normally communicated with his followers using Japanese.
The sequel of Parasite in City had a short run of only 3 blog posts submitted for the public to have a peek of its development progress which after the project died and Pixel Factory was never heard from again. No statements of leaving, no goodbyes, nothing…
No comments have been approved for public read by the blog admin since the end of 2014. There have been people trying to reach the developer even in 2020 and 2021, however, these comments have all gone to deaf ears. Just like the sequel of Parasite in City died, so did the blog itself.
If you happen to know more about Pixel Factory and whether he is working under another dev name or not, do not hesitate to leave a comment or contact me so I can update this section. With that said, this is all I could gather about the history of Parasite in City sequel.
I do feel the charm behind Parasite in City, it is a promising-looking pixel survival action game, but one that feels mostly broken and unfinished. It is hard to say what was truly going on behind the scenes during the game’s development back in 2013, but the end result could had been a praised one, had the developer spent just a little more time polishing the game.
The level design feels God-awful at times, and the controls do not make things any better when trying to survive situations that require quick reaction from the player. I can see that the foundation for fun gameplay was there but it was just badly executed.
In no way can I recommend Parasite in City for the price it is being sold on DLsite. It feels like a rip-off having to pay $15 for a product that could not even bother to have music put into it to elevate the experience.
If you enjoy lewd zombie apocalypse games, it is best to look elsewhere. Anthophobia and Overgrown Genesis for example both offer the same theme of action survival in a world infested with zombies, but unlike Parasite in City, they actually deliver a full-fledged experience.
