ABOUT THE GAME

You are a parasite living on a small mouse in a dangerous forest.

You cannot directly control your host. Instead, you manipulate its instincts to influence its behavior and keep it alive.

Your ultimate goal is to prepare your offspring and reach the safety of the burrow.

But your host has a mind of its own — and nature is not on your side.

GAMEPLAY

Manipulate. Survive. Reproduce.

• Control instincts: Influence your host's behavior instead of controlling its movement directly.
• Avoid predators: A hungry fox is always looking for its next prey.
• Fight against nature: Your host's scratching can disrupt your reproduction progress and even kill you.
• Prepare your offspring: Fill the reproduction progress bar to 100%.
• Reach the burrow: Once your offspring are ready, make it to safety to complete your journey.

YOUR GOAL

Survive long enough to reach 100% reproduction progress.

Keep your host alive, avoid excessive scratching, and watch out for the fox.

Once your offspring are ready, reach the burrow to win.

CONTROLS

Three buttons, responsible for the sensation of hunger, the feeling of fear, and the extraction of nutrients from the host.

A note from the developer: 

I offer my deepest apologies for the quality of the final product. I was desperately short on time to work on the graphics, the environment, and—good lord—the polish... I swear, if I’d had just 24 more hours, the project would look significantly better. I hope my project didn’t leave you with any negative feelings. If any participants of "Chrevaty Dmezh" are reading this, I hope you had a great time this weekend and managed to create your own little—imperfect, yet something to be proud of—project over the course of those two days.
