Carrion is the monstrous new proposal from Devolver Digital for this summer!

The Return Direct 2020 online event has left us with many surprises and joys these days. Not only has the company followed the fantastic plot of several episodes that characterized its parodic events criticizing the triple-A industry, but it has left us to enjoy some of the most promising independent titles of the year. One of the most spectacular examples is 'Carrion', a pure horror video game developed by Phobia Game Studio with a very different proposal to the usual one: to take the body of a monster of unknown origin that makes its way to kill all humans. It will be released for PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on 23 July 2020, and will be accompanied by a physical edition, an unusual point for the company when it comes to new releases.

Destroy and Tear

The idea of 'Carrion' is one of reverse horror: we have to control the multiple tentacles and monstrous shape of the beast that would normally antagonize any horror movie in which body horror is the main protagonist. With pixel art aesthetics, 2D scenarios, and a chilling soundtrack we can move forward destroying everything that breathes in our path as we grow, feed, and defend ourselves from our weaknesses like fire.
Carrion' is based on some of the most terrifying fiction works in history such as the film 'The Thing' or the design of the incomprehensible monsters imagined by H. P. Lovecraft. It is bloody, unpleasant to imagine for poor and defenseless humans, and with a message that warns us of the dangers of unethical experimentation by creating a beast with capabilities beyond our control.
