As the game progresses, players can obtain upgrades such as the ability to dash—which can be used to break through wooden barricades and access otherwise unreachable areas—and to grow in size.[1]

Release

Phobia Game Studio released a demo version of the game on Steam in October 2019.[10]

Carrion is set to be released on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in summer 2020.[2]
