Carrion is a reverse horror game in which players take on the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origin. They will stalk and devour those who imprisoned the beast in order to instill fear and panic throughout the facility. On its way to vengeance, the monster will grow and evolve as it tears down this prison and acquires more and more lethal abilities.
