Project Parasite

About

You play as a robot navigating a crumbling space station in Project Parasite, a sci-fi adventure that leans into its minimalist premise. Your goal is to stabilize a failing power plant, using environmental puzzles and system overrides to keep the facility from collapsing. The game strips away frills, focusing on tense exploration and a slow-burn story about artificial life and human oversight. Its stripped-down design is its strength, with 93% of 10,000 Steam reviews calling it "atmospheric" or "thoughtful." The setting feels lived-in without being overwhelming, and the robot's limited perspective creates a quiet urgency. It doesn't offer big set pieces but builds tension through flickering lights and malfunctioning systems. A quick but deliberate experience that lingers longer than its runtime suggests.
