If there’s one thing I’ve come to expect from Devolver Digital, it’s to never expect, well, anything. I certainly didn’t expect to hop into one of the Airstream trailers parked on the Devolver Digital parking lot and be face to face with a massively creepy statue and the creator of Carrion beckoning me to play his game. Granted, I was already one beer and two spicy hot dogs into my post-E3 wrap up celebrations, so it’s hard to tell just how much of what I remember about Carrion isn’t just a meat-fueled fever dream.

Carrion is, as the developers have dubbed it, a ‘reverse horror game’. Rather than running and hiding from the first strange noise in the night, you are the one who knocks (doors down and impales helpless scientists on your fleshly tentacles). Each fleshy person that you grab and consume adds to your ever-growing mass and eventually, you can’t make it through a stage without bumping into the walls and smashing into anything in your way. Think of your Carrion form as a big old noodly Katamari. The controls themselves were really simple to pick up and play: one analog stick for movement, the other to aim your appendages, one button to grab and pull, and another for the special abilities that were unlocked later on in the demo. If the developers want to throw in secret moves to mix up the Carrion experience later on, there are still plenty of other buttons to play around with.
