comment
Carrier is a Survival Horror video game developed and published by Jaleco for the Sega Dreamcast. Notable in part for being fully 3D - then (2000) still a rarity for survival horror games, which mostly displayed 3D characters over pre-rendered backgrounds.In Carrier, players assume the separate roles of an investigation team that was split up from a surprise attack.A canceled sequel for the PlayStation 2 titled Carrier: The Next Mutation was once planned for release.

Anyone Can Die
 Carrier (Video Game) / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Almost all of the main and supporting cast are killed during the course of the game, so much so that only three of the characters listed on the game manual live to tell the tale. The Heimdal crew members aren't so lucky either, as only a handful haven't been slaughtered or mutated yet. Jack: "Out of all of those crew members, this is all that's left..."

Downer Ending: By the time the Heimdal is finally sunk, Jack has lost almost all of his friends AND his little brother. The downcast look on his face speaks volumes of his horrific experience on the Heimdal.

Body Horror: Humans which become infected by ARK will have their head or other body parts deformed in later stages of infection (or when you see through their disguise).

Better to Die than Be Killed: Upon being infected by ARK, Bob, Jack's little brother, who Jack has been searching for since the game's start, shoots himself to prevent mutation. Much to Jack's distress.
