Devolver Digital Unleashes Demo For ‘Carrion’ on Steam
If you’ve been waiting (like myself) to get a taste of Devolver Digital and Phobia Game Studio’s Carrion, and the gameplay footage won’t cut it, then you’re in luck! Phobia Studios have released a free demo of the game on Steam, just in time for Halloween.
Due out in 2020 for consoles and PC, Carrion puts you in the amorphous bloody shoes of the monster in an underground facility, consuming humans and gaining new abilities as you traverse the corridors.
After a few delays that resulted in the game missing its original June release, Kwalee and Australian solo indie developer Bun Muen‘s co-op detective horror title Shift at Midnight has finally launched on PC via Steam and itch.io, and the Xbox Series. Steam users can grab a 10% launch discount from now until July 29.
Shift at Midnight is an online co-op title for up to 3 players, where you and your friends work together across randomly generated shifts to investigate their customers at a local gas station. Managing a gas station is tough work, as you’ll need to keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store tidy.
At the same time, you’ll need to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers.To do so, you may ask each customer five questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour.
If you miss one doppelganger, they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends. To prevent this, you must take the obvious route and execute them on site. If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as monsters.
