Carrion

Players take control of a crimson, tentacled creature of unknown origin. The creature must creep through vents and destroy scientists and troops as it makes its way through a complex. Players can get improvements such as the ability to sprint (which can be used to smash down wooden obstacles and access otherwise inaccessible regions) and increase in size as the game continues.

An amorphous monster known only as "The Monster" is kept in a containment unit within a Relith Science research facility. The beast escapes and makes its way through the institution in search of an exit. As the organism moves through the facility, it battles and devours the facility's personnel and security forces. Along the journey, the monster discovers sections of its genetic code that have been taken by scientists for research and confinement, allowing it to develop, allowing for greater size and additional means of defense and offensive.

The Creature also comes across material analyzers, which, upon entering, cause flashbacks that disclose its origins. The Creature was discovered by three scientists within an egg-like sack, and upon emerging, proceeded to kill two and possess the third. However, Relith security troops came and murdered the surviving scientist, allowing Relith to catch and imprison the beast. The creature eventually returns to its original confinement location and absorbs the last piece of its stolen genetic code, allowing it to reassemble a human form that resembles the scientist it initially infected before fleeing the facility and surfacing in a confined city as the sunsets.
