Marlowe trying to convince Niall that she would come back and was in love w him even though the audience knew she wasn’t was so compelling, the writing was really good

[@jasminkrieger8228]

It was one sided toxic posessive love on him his love was even killing her deadly he known he aint a human he tried to be that what he cant be any Virus or parasite want to life but they take live from a other living being in order to survive or force reproduce means children in a sense with the host they spread their Organismus but kill the host Body je wanted to cross children with her despite the risk force his well not true love on her instead of finding another host make her survive he tried to posess her like if i cant have you know one can he feeled she didnt loved him he didnt cared selfish toxic love is the rival to true love besides he knows he aint human he knows he wouldnt never habe had a chance at courting her or found a way for her to survive eben if she did she wouldnt want his child or for him to gain a Body in his own a physical one After all that parasite is in her mind

[@jasminkrieger8228]

This parasite thought his instinct through unlike a Virus it tried to be human but both parasite or Virus need a host to survive but if the host dies the parasite or Virus dies to unless they Jump to the next host like cancer does like a grim reaper literally death is courting loving her were is a movie joe Black but unlike in the movie this thing unlike death dont lets the one he love life and wait to rejion than she die this one here is a posessive yandere guy

[@jasminkrieger8228]

It maybe is a form of love but its insanity that harms the loved person true love is the oppiside they protect and save you instead let you go and care for your hapiness its the oppiside of toxic selfish love

[@marcoamazo]

There's something about an amoeba being in love with its host and wanting to make them happy despite killing them that's a hell of a lot scarier than an actual person.

[@cassiet6174]

Right? He's got all the components of a yandere, but he's not quite there. I'd give him a pass for not caring about the host's life because he's literally a parasite(though that would make him just a villain), but the freaky part is that he's sorta fighting against his nature by caring anyway. Something about that is so compelling creepy I just couldn't look away.

It was very interesting game. It reminded me of a time,i read a story of a confession from an anonymous in reddit. He started by saying how when he was little,they discovered ascarids in his body. The thought of something living inside of him-mesmerized him. He got cured eventually,but continued being interested in parasites. He studied biology,and fast forward to his college years,he *infected himself* with parasites. He liked the feeling. He said,how amazing it was to be a little aquarium for them. He overate to feed them,and never gained weight,which meant they were growing. But the.. disturbing part starts,when he started to infect other people. He confessed,how during parties,he would put tape worm and other parasites's eggs into other ppl's drinks. He said,how a girl with whom he slept during the party,gave him seams (? they're are basically bugs that eat your scalp,is that the correct word in English?if not sorry,i hope you got it anyways),he was so happy about it,that he called her to hang out,and,qnd i quote "left her a gift,in form of my babies". He infected her with parasite eggs. In the end,he says how he is infected by 27+ little parasites,to who he refers to as "babies". He sais that sometimes he thinks,what if a parasite is controlling his mind,and is making him infect others. Share his offsprings. I am pretty sure it's not a real confession,but ive read it 3 years ago,and it still stuck with me to this day. If this is real, it's disgusting honestly,but so interesting.

[@nirreznik8567]

This is a really good visual novel a bout such a scary subject, like something about a rare yet deadly infection being an obsessive yet non-violent partner feels really fitting considering that in the amoeba perspective it's doesn't understand that it's killing it's host and dooming itself. So many aspects fits to the idea of an sentient humanoid amoeba that loves it's host yet it's can't prevent it's host and it's own demise, it's fits a toxic relationship is some aspects especially the fact that it's absence is much preferable to the one who infected. I wonder if there could be a spiritual successor to such an idea like a different rare yet deadly disease is forcing it's into someone's own body and the only way for the person carrying the illness to survive is to get rid of the cause of the illness either in a leave kind of way as in the game or in a forceful way or perhaps by treating the pathogen and exterminating it, this can be interesting.

[@mr.e330]

At this point, I think a better question to ask if there has been any monster which _hasn't_ had a creepy dating sim made about it. Interesting premise though, although it makes me a bit queasy since I'm very unnerved by protozoans, either way, props to the dev coming up with a unique concept!

MANLY NEEDS TO BE A VOICE ACTOR STAT HES GOT THE PERFECT VOICE

[@thebiologic6139]

This concept of a parasite being a toxic love interest works beautifully. Parasites never intend to kill their hosts, they often attempt to keep their hosts alive for as long as possible because it benefits them and often allows them to continue reproducing.

[@Casandraelf]

i do have to wonder how the hell the amoeba are supposed to get out of the host body. well...they do RARELY infect humans, so i guess we're not the amoeba's usual target...question is, what DOES it usually target?

[@thebiologic6139]

@@Casandraelfnaegleria fowleri is typically a free floating organism that primarily feeds on bacteria. Parasitism isn’t a part of its natural life cycle, but if there’s food in the form of brain tissue it will definitely take advantage. Usually in this case, when the patient dies so does the naegleria fowleri, the ending in which the protagonist is able to release them is unrealistic. The two outcomes you have are either death (most common) or eventual eradication with permanent disability.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

Like some other dangerous amoeba parasites, these guys normally gorge on bacteria in soil and warm stagnant water. Being an amoeba it doesn’t really think too hard about why it’s suddenly in a place with a brain. The insides of your brain cells are perfectly edible for N. Fowleri so it just cruises along basically popping them and sucking the innards out until your brain swells up and…well… Once you die though, it’s trapped.

[@maruareys9329]

​@@thebiologic6139 well, i think that the part tha the amoeba gets angry and stop the protag from calling a doctor is also irrealistic, it even says its name 🤔

[@user-uq9oe7sc5m]

@@maruareys9329 I think one explanation is that, because the amoeba eats at the brain tissue, she just hallucinates on her own and she is not actually interacting with anything. Maybe the last ending is just an hallucination and the amoeba is still in her body?

This feels like how most toxic and abusive relationships are. The manipulations, taking advantage of someone who's weak or disabled in some way. And holding kids and over loved ones over their partner. Being kept inside the house against their will.

There is a reason for that. The nerves that these amoeba feed on in order to get into the brain are found deep inside the nasal cavity, so you'd have to get water really far up your nose. And even then there are natural defenses that usually attacks these amoeba as they eat their way up to the brain. The amoeba that survive are the ones that do the damage, but this is fairly uncommon hence the low annual infection rate.

I think the most depressing thing is the fact that in each route she has a different dying memory. One about her father, one about her mother, and one about the family the protagonist will never have. It's really a way of coping with her death. The saddest ending in my opinion is when she accepts Neil inspite of her "efforts". In the end,she decided not to call for help. Perhaps she secretly wanted to die. The protag seemed depressed comparing herself to her friends, isolating herself, questioning herself as a mother, stress from work, and feeling love sick from an unrequited love. If she wasn't so depressed, maybe the protagonist would be with her friends like she regrets in the drowned ending. I don't think her being free of the parasite actually happened.

[@Solanin0803]

Just that one of the partners is literally a brain etaing parasite 😎

[@Veryfreshveryflourish24]

Not nescessarily. Sometimes an abuser is not so see throught(pardon the pun) in their abuse and instead of hurtung someone directly they start taking their life little by little. For example starting with things like judging what you eat or wear or even who you interact with or simply putting you down from small choices and playing them off as a jokes. These small instances can build up as a droplets build a flood and get to people's self esteem. It even can escalate into the abused person accepting his abuse as something necessary in their relationship as he does not realise that his self esteem has been chipped away, by someone taking control of their life and heck when he confronts the abuser over their constant degradation the abuser may deflect, feign ignorance, put a blame on the abuse and not even lash out. Heck outside looking in the couple may look perfect together as the injuries don't come instantly nor is everyday with the couple suffocating. Altho our escalation came when i was assaulted while intoxicated, but not everyone separates as instantly as we did. Tbf this game addresses some toxic relationship elements, but not nearly all. Oh also sorry for the long rant.

[@Haru-rs2su]

@@Veryfreshveryflourish24 Interestingly that's exactly what Niall is. He's see through yes, but I'd like to remind that unlike him, you cannot see through HIS mind. I suspect that he takes form of someone Marlowe would like, and he also wants to love her as long as it doesn't harm him. Even Marlowe addressed that selfish attitude. The whole time I was watching this, I thought he somehow sounds eerily similar to my ex and what do you know, he's the exact same. Showed extreme love to me and started crying out of frustration when I don't agree with his ways, saying he's trying even though those actions impacted me negatively, although not so much killing my brain. (Some moments where Niall's comforting her and said he wished he could carry her - I got shivers down my spine, the ex did that too.) He even manipulated me into a relationship the same way; we're destined to meet and marry in his head although I barely get a say, even the way he talked about children, all this he put so nicely that I thought he couldn't have meant badly - by god he even sounded similar - that was traumatic. He was clear in his intentions but he also hid many things where I thought he couldn't - that's why I think Niall could be as toxic and deceitful as any ex could be. Also I really enjoy long replies so although you weren't replying to me, I don't mind.

The Amoeba only infects 3 people a year. It's not because he has a hard time infecting, but because that he has very high standards. He's not like the common cold, who sleeps with anything with a pulse. No no, my Boi is looking for love. He doesn't have weird hobbies, like that Rabies guy who is an actual furry. He likes swimming in water on a warm night. If you like swimming, then you may have found the one. When you date the Amoeba Boi, he likes to take things slow. When you get the sudden chills, he keeps you warm. If he warmed up to you enough, you better brace yourself. When he wins your heart, the Amoeba Boi becomes an animal. You'll be feeling the heat even in the mornings. He's also a physician. He cares about your body image and keep your weight in check, and the best part? you don't even have to diet! Just a few trips to the bathroom and the Amoeba Boi will flush those guilt ridden snacks right out of your system. When he becomes your partner, he becomes a part of you. The Amoeba Boi doesn't want just your body, he wants your mind... and your soul.
