Gamr Drivl: Phantom - A Reverse-Horror Concept

Last month, Devolver Digital released the game Carrion, described as a "reverse-horror" game. Drawing inspiration from movies like The Thing, it deals with an amorphous tentacled horror that hunts down humans in a sprawling underground complex as it tries to escape to the surface. What makes it reverse-horror is that instead of playing a human trying to escape/evade the monster, you play the monster.

The concept of "reverse-horror," as Carrion presents it, is an interesting one, and I think it deserves more development. I'll discuss it more below the break.
