Dev Report, July 2025

How Parasite Inside got this way
Not long ago, I had a great chat with one of my supporters who asked a lot of questions about why I started making Parasite Inside and how the project has grown into what it is today. It wasn’t the first time I got questions like that — and every time, I realized there’s genuine interest in the journey behind the game.So if you’re curious to learn how PI came to life — from early ideas to the toughest parts of development — here’s the short story. I’ll be sharing it in short chap...

Sean Witkoff's notes: AstroLink Section
Subject: Sean Witkoff's notes - Part 1I swear, this whole thing’s fucked.First, command tells us the alien specimen went missing. Then someone whispers a doc smuggled it out. What kind of suicidal maniac does that? Anyway, we hauled our asses to the Power Core, hoping to reboot ASTRA and Cryo systems. We needed them up. No power, no chance to survive. Simple.Except, nothing worked. Whole system’s shot to shit. Burnt relays, corrupted signals, AI acting like it had a stroke. Reynolds sugg...
