Mind Parasitic

Mind Parasitic is a science-fiction visual novel set in the near future, when AI technology can connect directly to brainwaves. You have just logged out of the brainwave game New World when a bug downloads your consciousness into a stranger, Zhou Yuncheng. He helps you try to get back to your body, but the two of you become caught up in an unprecedented AI cybersecurity conflict.

A double first-person story

You experience the story as a parasite inside the protagonist, but cannot control him. The game uses this lack of control to shape its double first-person perspective as you and the possessed protagonist explore what happened. The story is a short, lightly suspenseful science-fiction tale.

Choices and endings

The story has branching endings, determined only by a clearly signposted key choice near the end; there is no affection system. It also includes explanations of some cybersecurity concepts, which you can skip without affecting the ending.
