Carrion Guide
Welcome to IGN's Wiki Guide for Carrion, the reverse-horror game where YOU play the monster. This guide includes walkthroughs of all the levels, breakdowns of each required and optional DNA containment unit, and more.
Carrion was created by Phobia Game Studio, published by Devolver Digital and was originally released on Steam; it's now available on PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
