The concept of the creature in this game would make an awesome villain in either a Kaiju or Alien Invasion flick. Meteor shower rains down on earth - nothing too crazy, most burn out on entry but a few small rocks hit the surface, unnoticed by the common folk. People watch, take pictures, treat it like it was just a rarer but similar phenomena to a comet passing by, or an eclipse. After a while, certain ecosystems start to fail on a microbial level with no known cause, chaining into isolated eco-collapses in certain areas of the world. Studies begin to later discover these isolated areas to exist within a fan out pattern, with the centers being where the surface of certain areas on the planet were hit during the meteor shower (so like if one small meteor landed in the ocean, nearby islands/shorelines and the surrounding reefs and such started to progressively experience eco-collapses, and so on). After a while, small dead mutations are found, seemingly a visual and genetic culmination of species that were victim to this ecosystem collapse, some of which had become extinct. Not long after, in rural areas, pets and young or sick people begin to disappear without a trace. It doesn't take long before sightings begin. Strange, fast moving creatures showing up in places spontaneously before vanishing into the foliage or the sea, stuff like that. Homes, shops, etc. begin to violently get invaded, leaving only fleshy remnants. A few escapees cannot even describe what they had seen, some having barely escaped being ambushed by indescribable appendages they had no time to fully see and mentally grasp. They're scouting now, picking at the livestock, but moving on to progressively bigger target areas until it eventually spills into the larger towns and cities, and goes completely public. Then war. War against monsters who have run the food chain gauntlet through the most dangerous and specialized creatures on the planet, and aim to turn that all on us. To make us a part of them. Something like that. Chimera Ants in HxH, and to some extent TerraFormars were something similar.
That's very close to the plot of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah A creature that can disrupt ecosystems on a microbial level would be a lot more dangerous and scary than a large predator that hunts humans though
@@Sorrowful00 The idea being an accelerated evolution that goes from microbes to small ecosystems to large ones then to civilization - and adapting bits and pieces of everything killed along the way into a chimera creature, or various ones - just slow enough to be somewhat unnoticed or incomprehensible and seemingly without pattern - yet just fast enough to, when noticed and made public, be noticed far too late to stop outside of essentially war.
It's amazing how in a game this old, targeted at Japan, there was a full-length intro text scroll and two full endings, entirely in perfect English! Too bad the idea of playing as the bad guy was so ahead of its time that Jaleco decided not to release this game...
+Eufinity Eventually that CP.BRAiN is reason was "depressed and dark rumor bizarre game" during in developing alpha test as being failed the second game development, Even the Jaleco should not public to Chimera Beast while to get "Killed the project". About 20 year ago.

This really needs to go on your page for this game if you don't have it already; the music used in the ending makes it a lot more chilling to see than just the pictures. The only way they could've made the ending better (aside from fixing the obvious background issue) is making a little delay before the "you" shows up.
My page is in drastic need of an overhaul/rewriting, especially with all the neat stuff that the @ChimeraBeast twitter account has posted. It definitely will be done, but you know how lazy I am~ And I agree, there's something about the music that plays during the ending that added that extra impact the first time I saw it. I dunno if I would say it's "chilling", maybe... "unnerving"?
if you position the Eater right over the "64th Street" humans and then "eat" them at point blank range, they won't disappear immediately. This means that as long as you stay over them and keep hammering away on the Eat button, it'll keep registering more targets eaten, which factors into the end of level bonus.
This is pretty much a coincidental derivation of the 2015 RPG video game _Undertale_ If _you_ want to improve, grow and win against your enemies (the lifeforms) to gain EXP and LV, _you_ become the Chara of this game by guiding your Eater to gain its sentience, and then letting the "sentient Eater" and its new spawns do on their own into committing genocide on every living thing in the universe, even Earth. This run tells you that _you_ (the player) have to live with the responsibility for leading them there until _your_ own destruction. (In short, it's _your_ fault.) [The last stage has a deep meaning to the concept. It's about destroying the world when you guide _your_ Eater into that path, and _you_ are escalating it into a "catastrophe" as depicted there--the Eaters taking over the planet's ecosystem and natural resources. _You_ control it to kill the inferior Eaters: cannibalism. The escaping humanity using the space shuttle before the final boss is where _your_ *last resort* in eradicating the human race has become: _your_ guilt and conscience. It's either _you_ want to win and take over the Ultimate Eater or _you_ think about what _you've_ done catastrophically.] Losing the last stage by giving _yourself_ up to the last Eater or by running out of time during the fight, _you_ are to sacrifice _yourself_ to save the other living things, allowing the remaining "unguided" Eaters to prey on each other, thus saving the world (and the universe). This makes an ironic good ending to this game.

Crazy how you only get the good ending by running out of time or dying during the final boss.
This almost feels like if the boreworms from splatterhouse got their own game
This game is weird as balls. I like it!
Loved the ending.
The weirdest about this game imo is the music, not that it's bad, it just doesn't fit...
That actually makes it kinda awesome
The music makes you expect that the enemies just slip on a banana peel and dies
Oh! No Bad Ending
This really needs to go on your page for this game if you don't have it already; the music used in the ending makes it a lot more chilling to see than just the pictures.

Guess this was one time Jaleco tried to emulate another specialist in "bio-mechanical" games, UPL.
That ending though!
great music

I remember this game, if you want a good ending you must game over in the last boss
19:31
You've destroyed the Earth with the Eaters! XD!
Love the concept and the ending is crazy thanks for your description too
That's some mad skills over there. I never managed to pass level 2. On the other hand, I'm not responsible for the Earth's bleak future.
That ending... right in the feels. :-(
8:41 Giant Monster Crocodile is so scary
I wonder if this game didn't get released due to the nihilistic storyline
Mankind was destroyed by thier own resource the neuclear reactor and they try to escape from Catastrophe but they failed
The intro is awesome lol
Sweet, this game looks like an arcade version of the NES Godzilla creepypasta.
This would have been a great game to play on December 21, 2012. Especially considering its ending.
This game are maniac...
13:22 How did you manage to eat those guys so many times?

It is curious that Gaiares from Mega Drive have a similar mechanic, of sending a piece of our ship and change the weapon.
the music is so annoying but so good.
What kind of Monster Creature is this
Font like Altered Beast? 🤔
Afaik blue lasers are obtained when beast is fully grown but never figured out that how to get green lasers?

Hidden Gem
So... these creatures are basically Chimera Ants from Hunter x Hunter?
