CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origins, stalking and consuming those that imprisoned you.
Hello, Amorphous Beings!
The first post-release update is coming out today! The patch focuses on the most critical issues you've reported so far since day one, such as game-breaking softlocks, crashes, and so on. Additionally, there are some quality-of-life improvements made with custom level creation in mind. Not quite the Workshop integration we're after yet, but there's more to come soon!
