Release #1 - Episode 1: Spotlight

Five years ago, Mila bought a cute pink plushie on a whim. She doesn’t remember exactly when Plum stopped being just a toy. Now Plum is part of her life. Part of her routines. Part of her thoughts. After long nights performing as Valentine, Mila returns home to rainy city streets, instant noodles, and the familiar voice reminding her to eat something other than coffee. Plum loves her. Plum protects her. Plum only wants what’s best for her. At least, that’s what Plum says. But love can become possession before you realise it. Care can become control. And some attachments dig their claws in so deeply that you stop noticing the difference. When unsettling letters begin appearing where they shouldn’t, Mila is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: The voice that’s kept her company for five years may not be the safest thing in her life. Or the most dangerous. Sweet Little Parasite is a dark psychological horror about unhealthy attachment, manipulation disguised as love, obsession, loneliness, and the frightening comfort of being needed by something that refuses to let you go.
