Carrion reverses the perspective on the classical horror game. You are the unknown, amorphous creature with a horrific amount of fleshy tools at your disposal to hunt down the ones who imprisoned you. Be careful, however, as some may seek to fight back using flamethrowers and the like. Evolve more devastating abilities while seeking your freedom. Stay hungry.
From the Steam page:
"CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origin. Stalk and consume those that imprisoned you to spread fear and panic throughout the facility. Grow and evolve as you tear down this prison and acquire more and more devastating abilities on the path to retribution."
From Devolver Digital:
"Stalk and consume those that imprisoned you to spread fear and panic throughout the facility. Grow and evolve as you tear down this prison and acquire more and more devastating abilities on the path to retribution."
From PC Gamer:
"Carrion...tasks you with escaping a research facility, murdering as many humans as you can in the process. As you gobble up people you'll gain mass along with new skills that let you reach unexplored parts of its labyrinthine map. It's a horror Metroidvania, basically, where you're the hunter rather than the huntee."
