Carrion. Unexpected hits of 2020

Table of Contents

  1. Platforms: Xbox One, PC
  2. Genre: horror, 2D platformer
  3. Developer: Phobia Game Studio

Carrion is one of the more interesting Polish games coming in 2020. This is an "inverted horror" – we embody the evil being: a shapeless form that massacres scientists. Secret laboratories are the perfect place for a horror story about a failed experiment, and this game wants to prove it. In addition, devouring people will turn our monster into a bigger monster, which is pretty interesting itself, and may provide a nice ending.

Combat will be extremely bloody and cruel, and our stomachs will only be saved by the pixel style of the whole. This, unfortunately, does not work for the desperate cries of dying people. Thanks to the recent demo version, we were also able to learn that Carrion is distinguished with a pretty interesting, dynamical movement model, and the difficulty level – the egg heads aren't harmless, after all This is an atmospheric indie, which is worth keeping an eye on.

It's for you if:

  1. you like to play the villain;
  2. you're a fan of pixel art;
  3. your sensitivity will withstand all the brutality.
