There are a bunch of horror games that let you play as the thing that goes bump in the night, but fewer horror games that let you play as a gory, amorphous blob that brutally consumes everything in its path.

That’s the M.O. of Carrion’s protagonist, the aforementioned blob, which makes its way through the game flinging around the bodies of the scientists who imprisoned it and generally wreaking a whole bunch of gruesome tentacley havok. Your blobby self will continue to grow and evolve as you play turning into a blood red mass filled with snarling mouths. Lovely.
