Carrion Sells Great; Hundreds of Thousands of Players in Xbox Game Pass

Independent game Carriom from Phobia Game sold 200 thousand copies in the first week after its release. On this occasion, the devs published a humorous video.

A lot of players have played as the merciless monster.

Carrion is a pixel art action game developed, dubbed as "an inverted horror" by its devs. It is a debut project of the independent Polish studio Phobia Game. The title was published on PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch by Devolver Digital, a company known to all indie game fans. We already know that during the first week since the title appeared on the market, it sold 200 thousand copies. Moreover, the devs point out that hundreds of thousands more players enjoy the game thanks to the Xbox Game Pass subscription. But that's still not all! Devolver Digital prepared for fans a three-minute video, in which we can see the monster from the game in a completely different rendition.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
