Loving this list, from Umineko to Umurangi, and the feeling it gives me of not really missing much despite not being caught in the AAA crocodile deathroll. Thanks for spotlighting some indie games that weren't lucky enough to get swept up into the collective consciousness, Colin.
EDIT2: OMG I FOUND IT! It was called "perfect cell" released on ios in 2010 apparently :) I remember liking it a lot back then and the controls working really well for it! heres a link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perfect-cell/id390238229 ....Looks like its still available holy shit :D
Its also pretty similar in concept right? Not the exact same obviously... and im not saying carrion is a ripoff either, it could be 100% possible the devs have never seen the ios game im talking about. Just sharing haha, ive been raking my brain over this ever since ive seen carrion for the first time a couple weeks back haha :P
Glad you found it! I wondered whether the devs might even have been the same people, but it seems as though there's no connection. Had never heard of 'Perfect Cell' but that's a wild game to come out on an iThing. (Who archives games like that?) Games where you play as the gross slime-creature seem rare for sure, hence why I got Gish vibes. How many games are there where you play as the thing that escapes from a lab, I wonder?
