About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Cupid Parasite is an otome visual novel game where you play as a goddess turned matchmaker who must find love for some of Earth’s most unlikely bachelors in the vibrant city of Los York.

What's love got to do with it? In this divine romantic comedy, play as Lynette Mirror, Cupid Corporation's top bridal advisor and none other than Celestia's Goddess of Love, Cupid! Determined to prove that love is more than bows and arrows, she meets her biggest challenge yet - the infamous Parasite 5.

But in finding love for the Parasite 5, will Cupid find love herself?

Case 01: Gill Lovecraft (VA: Ryohei Kimura)

Lovelorn Parasite x Girlfriend Purist; Freelance Editor

A freelance editor who works for various magazines, book publishers, and news sites around Los York. He joined Cupid Corp in an attempt to get over a two-year-long broken heart. But he struggles to stop himself from comparing every new girl to his one lost love. Thus, he became part of the company's most troublesome group of members—the Parasite 5. 

Case 02: Shelby Snail (VA: KENN)

Prestige Parasite x Eternal SS Rank Hunter; Dispassionate CEO

Founder and president of the Cupid Corporation. Despite his widely known reputation as a devoted husband, he's actually single.

Case 03: Raul Aconite (VA: Taku Yashiro)

Obsessed Parasite x Mythological Collector; One-of-a-Kind Action Star

A world-famous movie star whose boyish good looks and stunning action scenes have led to multiple box office hits.

Glamor Parasite x Facial Perfectionist; Harsh Fashion Designer

A successful fashion designer and member of the Keisaiin fashion family dynasty. His family is responsible for the "KeiSai:In" fashion line, and he launched his own specialty "rYUKI" line of clothing.

Case 05: Allan Melville (VA: Makoto Furukawa)

Thieving Parasite x Treasure (Woman) Hunter; Pillow Specialist

A senior employee at a 9th Avenue designer bedding store known as Pillow Luxuria. The store creates tailor-made pillows designed specifically for each customer, and they're popular with celebrities and other wealthy patrons due to their ability to provide consistent top-tier slumber.

Choices may affect the way one of the Parasite 5 to react. Choose correctly to increase your Love Level and in return, a Love Surge may be displayed*.

However, you may pick a decision that can give a negative outcome.

*Can be turned on/off in the menu.

As the story unfolds, you'll be presented with a variety of story choices. Depending on what you choose, characters will react differently and your Love Level will change accordingly.
