Vermin

Vermin is a cancelled PlayStation game from Kronos Digital Entertainment. It was to be a modern version of Dig Dug in 3D.

Gameplay
The aim of the game is to achieve a high score. You would play as one of three parasitic vermin. Infect the local aliens and burrow inside them, harvesting their tissue.

The game would combine fantasy and Sci-Fi with resource management.

Cancellation
Vermin was cancelled in 1999 to work on Fear Effect. The publisher Eidos likely influenced the decision to switch development.
