Cupid Parasite walkthrough and guide

We’re going to keep this intro nice and simple – if you’re wondering if you should buy Cupid Parasite, you can read our review of it here (spoiler: just do it, because we loved it!) then come back to us again for our Cupid Parasite walkthrough if you need any help with getting your own love sorted as Cupid!

Some tips for you first of all: It is important to get the correct love test result for your chosen love interest within the first few chapters of the prologue — at least in your first playthrough. This of no concern after clearing the game once – you can either choose to try and get the perfect match with the route you’re aiming for again, or freely pick from the type you need for the route you’re aiming for.

Additionally, keep in mind that three routes are locked: Raul, Allan, and the secret character. Therefore, you need to play Ryuki, Shelby or Gill’s routes first, right up until the credits roll, before those three become available.

Bearing in mind the recent news that Idea Factory is intending to update the game with a patch with text edits and translation corrections, the recommended order to play the game on release is Shelby -> Ryuki -> Gill -> Raul -> Allan -> secret route. And the Parasite 5 all have to be romanced before the secret character reveals himself.

To get all CGs, either the second last or very last alternative file in each flowchart of the love interests’ routes has to be played to complete the gallery. These are easily and quickly accessible by simply selecting the previous chapter before it to secure zero love points and get the relevant CG. Rest assured; these are not upsetting “bad endings”, but tend to be humorous “what if?” scenarios.

On a final note: Choices with asterisks may not appear if you have played through the routes in a different order to how we have placed them below. The route order we have chosen is what we deem as most appropriate for minimal plot reveals and maximum satisfaction of plot progression.
