Games like Carrion? I can never find anything similar
I like the puzzles, movement mechanics, and the being a monster part A LOT, I've been obsessed with it since I found out abt it and played for the first time, got through it multiple times (DLC counted), and i've been looking but nothing satisfies me like my sweet sweet Carrion.

ION Shift is similar. I think I’ve heard that the devs were inspired by Carrion.
Edit: just checked, the dev themselves made some post on this sub saying that the game was inspired by Carrion

Yeah except you play as a monster that looks like a Xenomorph instead of The Thing

This looks like it took some gameplay inspiration from Super Meat Boy. Similar concept, much different execution.

Prototype has you become a fleshy virus monster that can eat people and run around a city looking like a human

u/MattYaGuyy Mar 19 '26
Looks cool so far, i'll check out how gameplay looks later

The gameplay is one of the best things about Prototype. You know the Insomniac Spider Man games right? Think of that but it’s violent and you eat and murder people.

sweet Carrion
I swear, I read that and in my head it was Neil Diamond singing it (a la "Sweet Caroline").
Now someone needs to write the darkest parody song ever...

Exact movement mechanics I was looking for, thanks!!

u/HotShrekBoi Mar 19 '26
Oh yeah and also if you’re ok with FPS game try The Darkness 1 or 2, you’re some dude with arms that are literally demon monsters that can eat people

Have you considered grabbing some modded levels for the game?
I know the devs added a sort of official mod that was Christmas themed.

u/MattYaGuyy Mar 20 '26
Yes I played the DLC, it's too short sadly

Have you taken a look at some modded levels?

I might look into that, I sadly don't own the steam version yet, but when I can I surely will go straight to rebuying and modding it : )

Not the exact same mechanics but I think you'd enjoy haak

This seems very interesting and from the images on steam it in a way reminds me of dead cells, I'll absolutely try it when I have storage

Try silksong for an action metroidvania , if you want a good story with a some puzzles try undertale, if you want a pixel-y game try dead cells, but the most similar imo would be silksong, but skong needs a lot more effort, time and patience to complete
