9	''The Visitor'' and ''The Visitor Returns'' are point and click {{Adventure Game}}s, while ''Massacre at Camp Happy'' is a maze game where one fights enemies.
10
11	The Visitor later moved onto mobile devices, with a mobile port of the original entry along with new installments:
12	* ''The Visitor: Ep. 1 - Kitty Cat Carnage''
13	* ''The Visitor Ep. 2 - Sleepover Slaughter''
14	* ''The Visitor Ep. 3 - House Party Havoc'' (coming soon)
15
16	In ''The Visitor'' series in general, one takes the role of a pink, leech-like alien parasitoid[[note]]A parasitoid is like a parasite except it kills its host, usually after completing it's larval stage.[[/note]] who [[TheAssimilator absorbs DNA from the animals and people it kills.]]

18	Not to be confused with the 2007 Thomas [=McCarthy=] film.
19	----
20	!!Tropes appearing in the Visitor
21	* AerosolFlamethrower: See TheAlcoholic below.
22	* TheAlcoholic: The old man at the camper table in ''Returns'' is so deep in his cups that he only reacts to being set on fire with DullSurprise and smothers the flames on his arm. [[spoiler: It's enough to distract him and allow the visitor to kill him, however]]. Though given that his reaction upon seeing the Visitor is to instantly skewer it with a thrown knife, it's possible he's simply a badass.
23	* AllWebbedUp: Eating a spider allows for this in ''Returns''.
24	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The Visitor uses 100 percent of the biomass it ingests.
25	* BattleCouple: In ''Returns''. The man thinks nothing of his arm being lit on fire and will immediately counter with a throwing knife if he sees the Visitor, whereas the woman is a crack shot with a revolver.
26	* BewareMyStingerTail: Consuming a scorpion gives you a stinger tail.
27	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Inverted in ''Massacre at Camp Happy''. The one black dude in the game dies last.
28	* BlackEyesOfEvil: You get these at the end of the first game.
29	* BodyHorror: You play as an alien worm that invades the bodies of living things and eats them from the inside out. So yes, there's quite a bit of this.
30	* CameFromTheSky: You come out of a meteorite in each game.
31	* CanonDiscontinuity: ''Massacre at Camp Happy'' was so reviled that they made ''Returns'' another point-and-click adventure game where you can keep the abilities of the animals you eat as an apology (combining animal traits wasn't present in ''Massacre'' because it would have been too easy if you could).
32	* CannibalismSuperpower:
33	** Eating an animal gives you some of its abilities. Eating a person results in the parasite becoming humanoid.
34	** In ''Massacre at Camp Happy'', if your monster dies, its corpse becomes a health pickup on your next try.
35	* ChestBurster: You can erupt out of your first host in ''Returns''.
36	* CrossOver: [[spoiler:The parasites are a major antagonist in ''VideoGame/TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus''.]]
37	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: There's a variety of ways that the Visitor's enemies die, like getting eaten from the inside out, or impaling their head on a knife, etc.
38	* DeliciousDistraction: Quite a number of animals are distracted via food, such as the small bird and the flies in the first game, and the raccoon, skunk, and spider in ''Returns''.
39	* DeadlyRotaryFan: One of the cats in ''Kitty Cat Carnage'' gets [[LudicrousGibs splattered across the walls]] by one of these.
40	* DiscardAndDraw: Unlike in the point-and-click games, the abilities gained from consuming animals in ''Camp Happy'' are mutually exclusive. The ability gained from devouring one animal will override the previous one you had.
41	* EverybodyDiesEnding: It's possible for everyone, including the alien, to die in one of the endings of the first game.
42	* EyelessFace: The Visitor is like this for most of the games except the end of the first.
43	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In ''Massacre at Camp Happy,'' the parasite can only attack animals smaller than itself. The object of the game is to eat all the campers, and there's a good chance you'll be significantly smaller than the targeted human of the level.
44	* GenreBlind: Apparently, none of the denizens of Camp Happy have ever seen a horror movie in their lives. And probably won't after you're done with them.
45	* HumansAreSpecial: The parasite ''really'' wants to eat one but won't go after them without a host of [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing animal-based superpowers]], and the GoldenEnding of ''Returns'' is where you do and become humanoid, rather than brutally dismembering one or getting shot to pieces.
46	* InsectoidAlien:
47	** The death slug's original form looks like a grub.
48	** In ''Returns'', you can become one by killing a scorpion and spider.
49	* LoveTriangle: Technically a Love Quadrilateral between the three girls and one guy in ''Sleepover''. You get to resolve this... by exploiting it to kill all of them.
50	* MacGyvering: The mobile games heavily downplay the worm's assimilation abilities (it never appears in ''Kitty Cat Carnage'', and is used only once in ''Sleepover Slaughter'') in favor of using the surroundings in creative ways.
51	* MetamorphosisMonster: By way of assimilating DNA from its kills.
52	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: With closeups, you can see that the creature has lots of teeth.
53	* MultipleEndings: In the first game:
54	** [[TimedMission Forget to act]] or play your cards right, and [[TheBadGuyWins the alien will get away scot-free]].
55	** A BittersweetEnding in which the lone survivor can kill the alien, but only after it's already killed his entire family.
56	** A EverybodyDiesEnding where if you use the ElectrifiedBathtub strategy on the alien, it gets fried, but then uses its tongue to decapitate the survivor as a LastBreathBullet before dying.
57	* MutuallyExclusivePowerups: The animal utility abilities in ''Massacre at Camp Happy''. You can only have one at a time: claws allow the alien to pass through bushes, fins allow it to swim and pass through water passages, and wings allow it to fly over water and holes but not through bushes.
58	* NeverMessWithGranny: Let the old lady in ''Kitty Cat Carnage'' see the worm, and she'll skewer it on her hairpin.
59	* NightSwimEqualsDeath: ''Massacre at Camp Happy'' has two people out taking a dip at night. Enter the alien worm.
60	* OrificeInvasion:
61	** In ''The Visitor,'' you kill a troublesome cat by [[AssShove crawling up its anus]] and [[BodyHorror eating it from the inside-out]]. You also kill a man by forcing yourself down his throat. In fact, in its original worm-like parasite form, it's fond of [[EatMe letting itself be eaten by nearby vermin]].
62	** In ''Returns'' this is a possible ending: tearing off a woman's jaw and crawling down her throat to anthropomorphize yourself.
63	* RasputinianDeath: The third cat in ''Kitty Cat Carnage'' gets the single most drawn-out death in the series. [[spoiler:You have to cut down the pole it's sitting on and make it hit its head, drop a vase on its head, electrocute it, shoot it twice with a ''shotgun'', decapitate it, burn its body, stab it in the head with a knife, and then mount its head over the fireplace before it ''finally'' stays dead.]] [[MadeOfIron Apparently this particular cat really does have nine lives.]]
64	* SlashedThroat:
65	** Well, more like ripped-out throat, but [[spoiler: this is the fate of the drunk old man in ''Returns'']].
66	** One of the girls in ''Sleepover'' is dispatched this way. [[BlackComedy Then the worm shoves a plate of nachos into the bloody wound for good measure]].
67	* SmellySkunk: Eating a skunk gives the parasite the ability to spray foul-smelling gas. Said skunk also acts as an obstacle by gassing the parasite whenever it gets close.
68	* TearOffYourFace: The first victim in ''Sleepover''. [[spoiler:The face comes in handy for fooling another victim later.]]
69	* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Invoked. The parasite can become a monster under someone's bed.
70	* ToServeMan: The one ending of the first game results in you eating the survivor.
71	* UnexpectedGameplayChange: The player controls the visitor as he consumes humans. The last scene of the first game changes protagonists to give the player a chance to save the human.
72	* VillainProtagonist: You're a vicious alien parasitoid that kill creatures to steal their abilities to kill people.
73	* WeakButSkilled: The worm is an alien that can assimilate the abilities of anything it eats, but it's still just a small worm that gets splattered if it goes toe-to-toe with anything bigger than itself. The puzzle-solving in the game is for finding ways to get the drop on those things without facing them head-on.
74	* YouWillBeAssimilated: What the worm does with all of those hapless animals that get in its way.
