The intro hints that there also should be a reverse horror game named 'Calm'.

[MerveilSalad]

Why is the eldritch horror you play as so adorable? He just makes me think of a silly little guy, just skittering around the walls and stuff I LOVE THEM

[sydneyleek]

Cool player character and aesthetics. My main suggestion would be to improve the enemy AI. When the enemies panic, they seem to be helpless and just run around. It'd be cool if the panic system caused enemies to check ceilings, shoot vents, and force you to change tactics.

Really wish Reverse horror was a little more popular

Just imagine the kind of games that would come out if more gamedevs knew about it

[alzef]

Man, I crave the moment this genre becomes more popular. There's an itch that only Carrion has been capable of scratching, and I need MORE.

[francoalmiron]

I love this game, seriously since Carrion, the idea of reverse horror games have been trending, and is great seeing people doing games like this.

[thereptile]

Just noticed how the creature can disable the turret using the computer terminal, this implies some seriously advanced intelligence on its part. Barely an hour in this world and it already knows how to use our technology.

Carrion is arguably one of the pioneer reverse horror games, though possibly the first reverse horror game was Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Atari.
As it stands, few games feel as good as Carrion and boast a reverse horror tone that indicates you are extremely dangerous, you're just re-learning your traits.
This game is pretty good so far. Each screen is a puzzle and you kill as a means to remove obstacles to continue forward, though it goes from zero to 100 pretty fast with the difficulty of the puzzle rooms. I get that it's a demo, so I can let that slide.

Be sure to add more cases of non-puzzle "cooldown rooms" where you can find unarmed people and more lore tidbits and can choose to massacre the people or leave them as you continue forward.

One thing I feel is missing in most reverse horror games is what the Arkham games did, and that is making enemies proggresively more scared as you take them down. I thnk it would add a lot to the game, as well as making it feel less like just a stealth game

[XShrike]

I am not sure why but, Carrion had me being more understanding on how the monster was able to kill so many. The creature in this feels like it gets so many kills because the people are dumb. I know that does fit a few horror tropes.

[Se]

I always appreciate some reverse horror when I see it.

[ShadowOO]

Holy crap, this is giving me some serious Mark of the Ninja vibes (with the stealth executions, vent sections, and the Tentacle Leap that acts just like the grapple in MoN), I love it!

[AnotherIdioticEgoist]

I cackled at the Carrion reference in intro, it's still one of my very favorite games!

[lordoferrors]

That intro has the best play on words, also this game has a very similar style to CARRION

[GabrielW]

This takes me back to 2000-2001, starting the alien mission as the xenomorph in Aliens vs Predator 1.

[quagmirevsbog]

i love the carrion joke. as a fan of the game. i hope you can "carrion" making more of them

[wasntwas]

Nice reference at the start. Carrion needs more love!

[jimjohn]

with how those power loader forklift mechs appeared in the background a couple times, I really hope they appear as enemies or a boss in the future

[AntipaladinPedigri]

4:56 this is my cat when it confuses my hand during playtime with clawing and biting the shite out of its prey

[Chumi]

I have loved all the reverse horror games this guy does. Keep up the good work
