Steam review snapshots
Sometimes the controls feel like trying to move a pile of spaghetti and meatballs, but its immersive since you are basically playing…Also the pixel art is just really smooth, yummy..[spoiler]P.S your invisibility energy doesn't decrease if you stand still.[/spoiler] The movement can get really slow and tedious later on when using…Carrion is a short game basically about you being a monster and squiggle your way though eating and killing people.Why it fits
Best for players who want a short, atmospheric, controller-friendly game with pixel art and body horror. It stands out for its strong atmosphere, pixel-led visual style, and compact single-player structure.
Who might skip it
