The horror genre, whether its slasher movies, spooky TV shows, or violent video games, usually puts a monster at the center of the conflict. Sure, we may root for the monster, or even empathize with them. We certainly idolize them, buying franchise figures and other merch. But to become them? A new release on Game Pass offers up the chance to do just that — to great effect.
Carrion from Phobia Game Studio and Devolver Digital is a reverse horror title that puts players in control of an amorphous, bloody blob who must escape from a research lab where its been tormented by government scientists. It’s hubris personified, a thrilling excuse to be an instrument of vengeance dishing out gory justice as you navigate a puzzling labyrinth of pipes and tunnels in pursuit of freedom.
