Momodora reverie under the moonlight locked door movie#

You are inevitably let loose amongst a vast, underground installation filled to the brim with locked doors, impassable paths and your soon-to-be-devoured captors. Mouths forming purely to feed before retreating into whatever alien anatomy the creature has. Tendrils explode out, latching onto the wall to pull your form across the room with a disturbingly visceral grace. You are not a bipedal humanoid – you are nothing more than an amorphous mass. Those screams are quickly silenced as your enthralling tendrils grab monitors, vents and bodies – tearing and devouring everything in sight. Naturally you break out and the screams of horrified scientists fill the air. The game begins with you, a flailing mass of grotesque tentacles contained within a test tube. Oftentimes you end up feeling like you are just some guy on the prowl, regardless of the monster assumed control of.

The former being an exciting popcorn fuelled romp, whilst the latter tends to be…difficult.

Watching a movie about a monster, and actually playing as a monster however, are two very different things. The first ‘monster horror’ flick is over 100 years old, and since those early days we have created legendary beings that have been absorbed into society’s collective memory. Monsters, specifically those who exist in the realms of horror, are beyond tantalising. Review is based on my experience with the Xbox One release of Carrion.
