The Visitor
The game begins with a meteorite crashing into the water and floating. A small worm-like creature crawls out and stops at the top of the meteorite. The death slug gets onto land and gets flung to a house by a fishing rod after consuming a frog. It lands on a windowsill and ends up consuming a cat after much moving and running. It opens the front door and slithers in to find an old woman and a dog in the kitchen. It uses a knife to kill the old woman and climbs though the air vent to a room where two boys are sleeping. The visitor consumes a pet fish and a bird before travelling into the first boy's mouth and consuming him too. The second boy realises something is happening and snaps awake but the death slug kills him as well. In the last scene a third boy is hiding from the monster in the bathroom. There are three possible endings to this scene, the boy gets a gun out of the cupboard below the sink and kills the visitor, the visitor slips into a bathtub and dies but still kills the boy, or the visitor runs into the bathroom and kills the boy with his tongue. This game is now available to download for the Blackberry Playbook for free.
The Visitor: Massacre at Camp Happy
In this version of the visitor you control an alien death slug as it rains death and destruction onto a sleepy campground. You must guide him through the mountainous forest grounds of Camp Happy, as he destroys everything in his path in search of human victims. Features original horror music by Sergiu Muresan, 10 large scrolling levels with puzzle elements and action game play, 10 unique campers to devour, each with distinct death animations, 11 different animal types to mutilate throughout, hand-drawn 2D animation, game stat tracking, achievements and automatic game saving.
The Visitor Returns
The game begins with another death slug landing at a campground. Exiting its meteorite, the slug consumes a raccoon. Making its way to a trailer, it consumes a spider and a skunk, gaining the ability to shoot adhesive silk, scale walls, and vent poison gas. It forces the inhabitants of the trailer to open a window by gassing them through a crack. Climbing through the newly opened window, it consumes a scorpion, growing a stinging tail and throws a sausage on the floor to make the old man drinking what appears to be whiskey at the table send his doberman pinscher outside. Consuming the dog, the monster gains a set of powerful jaws. Re-entering the trailer, it murders the old man by biting his throat out, alerting his wife, who shoots at it. Tricking her into shooting out her window, it climbs in. There are multiple endings, a few of which end up with the slug being shot to pieces. It can suffocate, disembowel, behead, or, ideally, assimilate her.
