Quick answers

Is HyperParasite co-op?
Yes, HyperParasite supports co-op.
Does HyperParasite have PvP?
Steam does not list PvP for HyperParasite.
Do we both need to own HyperParasite to play together?
Not always. HyperParasite supports Steam Remote Play Together: one person who owns it hosts and streams a local session to friends who don't (Steam quotes up to four players, more on a fast connection). For online co-op or PvP, every player needs their own copy.
How many people play HyperParasite?
Player counts were not available when this page was built.
Does HyperParasite have split-screen or local multiplayer?
Yes. Steam lists HyperParasite with shared/split-screen co-op on one PC — and it supports Remote Play Together, so a friend can join that local session over the internet.
