The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Playing CARRION feels like a relentless, gory rampage of empowerment as you evolve, stalk, and consume your captors through a tense, atmospheric facility.

What players say
Players call Carrion a reverse-horror metroidvania where the focus is on puzzles and backtracking, not action. The lack of a map makes navigation frustrating for many, and the controls become unwieldy at the largest size. It is short, around 4 to 6 hours, and players widely recommend buying it on sale.
