• CONTAGION STATUS REPORT: 5-YEAR SUMMARY - 8 August 2025

  \ STATUS: UNAUTHORIZED TRANSMISSION ORIGIN: UNKNOWN TERMINALIt has been 1,842 days since the “CARRION” security breach.We are still cleaning up the mess.5 YEARS. MILLIONS OF ESCAPE ATTEMPTS.What began as a small anomaly in an isolated lab has now become 1.3 million sold contagions and has spread to millions of hosts across multiple subscription platforms.We warned the command. We said it was evolving. First PC and consoles… then mobile. We adapted. It adapted faster.And now? It's… learning.We’ve detected neural activity consistent with immersive cognition. They’re developing a VR protocol.We don’t know what it means yet. But it's no longer just watching us.Despite the breach, some of us are still here. Observing. Logging. Remembering.To everyone who helped this thing grow, willingly or not, we hope you’re proud. Or terrified. Maybe both.Thank you nonetheless.\ PHOBIA GAME STUDIO

• CARRION spreads onto PlayStation 5 - 29 April 2023

  : MUTATION ALERT! We failed to contain the PS4 samples of "CARRION" due to hostile actions of some individual who ignored all our safety precautions. The full spectrum of compromised consoles now consists of Xbox One/Series, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Our initial analysis leads us to believe that the native PS5 version is even more contagious due to certain DualSense-specific mutations, so outmost caution is advised. : Haptics good. Controller roaring good. 4k/120fps good. All good. All safe. All free. Upgrade now.

• CAUTION: Carrion bursted onto PlayStation - 26 October 2021

  : CONTAINMENT FAILURE! This day just ought to come. While we did our best trying to safely contain the creature on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, it swiftly managed to exploit a vulnerability we had never considered possible. There's a non-zero probability that downloading a video game called "CARRION" on your PS4/PS5 will allow the monster to creep in and consume your flesh and mind. Once you've noticed it, it will be too late. Your humanity is at stake. Please, stay vigilant! : Very good game. Very safe game. The creature is not real. Only very good game. Grab it now on your PlayStation. Good game.

• It's the Greatest Time of the Year! - 24 December 2020

  As anyone can plainly see, the beast is a huge proponent of the holidays. Yes, consuming the flesh of those that seek to imprison you is still #1, but spending time with beast family and a white elephant gift swap is a close #2. Eh, let's call it 1a and 1b, just to stay on its good side. To appease our gracious host and keep our free will, we've finally married its two favorite things together in a brand new level. Now listen, this ain't no weak ass, slap-a-santa-hat-on-it-style event. Alot of blood, sweat, and limbs were sacrificed to get this just the way the beast likes it.

  Gain early access to the new Steam Workshop integration and modding features by joining the following Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/carrion-workshop-tests The new Carrion build is now available in the beta branch on Steam (no passphrase needed) and gets new updates frequently. The Workshop is now LIVE! New features include: Streamlined and safer mod loading - each mod is a self-contained hermetic package stored in a single folder and doesn't require hacking/changing the base game's resources. When the game loads a mod, it prioritizes loading the mod's resources over the base game's ones, falling back to the original assets only if necessary. Save files stored separately for each mod allowing for fail-safe experimentation. In-game mod browser - subscribe to Workshop items or unzip the mods into a "UserContent" folder to make them visible in the game! User-Generated Conte…
