We’re back with our first ever listener request episode! This week we take a look at Parasite Eve from 1998. The first ever Sqauresoft game to get an M rating, Parasite Eve is an attempt to blend action, horror, and RPG elements in an urban setting. And, as far as we’re concerned, it worked.

Parasite Eve is the story of ace detective Aya Brea as she attempts to save the city of New York from a para-natural menace known simply as ‘Eve’. Spontaneous combustion, mutant rodents, nefarious mad scientists, and a dark past all stand in Aya’s way. Good thing she has a grenade launcher!

Fans of our Resident Evil episode will be pleased to hear that wildly inaccurate science factors into this game, too! Also maybe some dinosaurs? We hope you enjoy this jumbo sized episode on Parasite Eve.
