The original Parasite Eve is a unique horror game. The plot is a mix of a popular Japanese horror novel and leftover remnants of one of the early concepts for Final Fantasy VII, with the gameplay mixing RPG and survival elements. While it never reached the level of fame that Silent Hill or Resident Evil did, it remains an exceptional piece of game design — even 25 years later as it celebrates that milestone anniversary on March 29, 2023. One of its most unique aspects is a true ending hidden behind a challenging dungeon only accessible after the first playthrough of the game, in a devilish twist on New Game+.
