Idea Factory’s visual novel Cupid Parasite will land on PC this year.
Revealed today, the game will launch on Steam. Cupid Parasite was originally released on the Nintendo Switch back in 2021. An announcement trailer can be seen below. A release date will be unveiled soon.
A synopsis for Cupid Parasite reads:
Welcome to Cupid Corporation! – Located in the glitzy and trendsetting metropolis of Los York, Cupid Corporation is a daring marriage agency known for its style and success rate.
Our heroine, Lynette Mirror, is Cupid Corporation’s top bridal advisor, whose job is to consult in-vogue singles to make their wildest romantic dreams come true! BUT she has one huge secret up her sleeve—she is none other than Celestia's Goddess of Love, Cupid!
After a family argument drives her to run away to the human realm, Lynette faces her biggest challenge yet: the infamous Parasite 5. Through a series of interviews and seminars conducted by Lynette, it was decided that the Parasite 5 would appear on the matchmaking share house TV program PARASITE HOUSE, which also serves to promote Cupid Corporation.
Will Lynette be able to live up to her name as top bridal advisor and Cupid, or will her dreams get cancelled?
