Not surprising, given the pedigree of the appropriately named Phobia Game Studio, who previously made blood-soaked Butcher. “Includes violence, blood, and gore” says the demo’s store page. It gives moving more gorgeous, horrifying weight, and more mass for the inertia and momentum to ripple through. Locking up clearly sentient creatures isn’t very nice.Īnyway, the morality of it doesn’t matter very much, because scooping up human beings makes you bigger, and being bigger is good. You play as a monster squirming its way out of a lab, wetly pinging your way along hallways, hoovering up scientists as you go. Part of the “reverse horror game” is bursting out to give players a taste, presumably because it’s scary-spooky Halloween week.

Playing its free demo, which is available now through next Saturday, November 2nd, has neither settled my stomach nor my appreciation for its aesthetics.

Since I first saw a gif of the squishy guts monster of Carrion I haven’t been able to decide whether its movement is nauseating or beautiful.
