CARRION

I enjoyed the game immensely and it is well designed, there are no softlocks or stuff like that, but it is simply far too short. Getting 100% in the game only takes two and a half hours, and that's if you're slow and methodical about it. Putting up $20 for this game, almost $10 per hour, is ridiculous. I won't refund the game as I do think the developers have real talent and I want to support them, but it's simply not worth the price they're asking for.

If you want to feel like eldritch abomination this game is for you.

It was fun, but it got repetitive after a while due to the back tracking. A lot of the power ups were pointless because they were not required to complete the game. None of the achievements unlocked even after I completed all areas.

I was looking at this game for months, really loved the idea behind it and couldn't wait to get it and then I did!! The being the monster experience is awsome, chasing down humans and squeezin around is all good fun, but the map system... At this point I've played for 3.5 hours and out of those I think I've spent 2 hours trying to figure out where should I go next, it's AWFUL. I don't remember this happening to me since gaming in 90's. Honestly not sure if I'm going back to game cause it's frustrating as hell.

Don't get me started on Animal Crossing (awful gameplay) or The Last of Us (haven't played the 2nd one but read about it and it's more of what I hated in the first). Carrion does what it does and does it WELL! The pixel art adds to the disgusting feeling of the game as does the work on the sound (oh my those screams, delicious!). Devouring those puny humans is fun and there's a nice progression, although you do tend to get a bit lost sometimes, there's no map and indicators (except the ones you get from the surrounding "nests") but the game isn't very long thus it's not very important (the beast moves very quickly too). I personally cannot wait for an eventual follow-up. :D tldr; The Thing but you're the human-devouring monster.
