Don’t mind if I do
Recommended Videos
We’re so often the ones fighting against monsters in games that whenever there’s an opportunity to change roles, I’ve got to relish it. Carrion from Phobia Game Studio is pitched as a “reverse horror game,” and it calls to mind a short but immensely cathartic sequence in Playdead’s Inside.
Playing as a tentacled alien creature, you’ll snatch people up, tear them apart, and just generally make a huge mess of things. The destroy-all-humans premise works for me, but the trick will be having environments that make the most out of that carnage. This pre-alpha footage shows promise.
Carrion will be playable later this month at The Mix in San Francisco.
