Parasite Eve (パラサイト・イヴ?) is a survival horror role-playing game developed by Square USA and published by Square (now Square Enix). The game is a sequel to the novel Parasite Eve, written by Hideaki Sena. It is the first game in the Parasite Eve series. In the North American market the earlier copies were packaged with Squaresoft on PlayStation 1998 Collector’s CD Vol.1; a collection of demos of future Squaresoft games. This is the first Squaresoft game to be rated Mature by the ESRB.
Parasite Eve II (パラサイト・イヴ2?) is a survival horror game for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000.
Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing game elements are retained.
