Parasite Eve

Parasite Eve is the name of a Japanese novel by Hideaki Sena, first published in Kadokawa Horror Bunko, which has been adapted into a 1997 film and a 1998 video game for the Sony PlayStation by Squaresoft. A sequel to the game was released in 2000, also for the PlayStation. In addition, plans are underway to localize the novel for U.S. readers; Vertical Inc. estimates a September 2005 release date (Amazon suggests November 25, 2005). This article will focus on the video games, the first of which has a survival horror theme, but the gameplay of a role-playing game. The sequel plays as a more traditional survival horror game.
