A little update to announce the game will be available on Linux and OSX as well.

Thanks to the technologies used to develop Parasite, exporting to a variety of platforms is straightforward.
Further validation is still required to guarantee everything behaves as expected on Linux and OSX, but preliminary tests are very encouraging. Therefore, I am adding these two release platforms, so that non-Windows users can enjoy being Parasites too !

I read one of the articles and voted up on Greenlight. Cute visual style, and it sounds fun to play. I'd give it a shot. Smiley

Mind taking a look at my visual novel on Greenlight?
