If my biggest complaint when I finish a game is that I wish it was longer, then it means that game has earned my admiration. Carrion isn't very long, but it fills every minute of its gameplay with tight controls, unique ideas, interesting upgrades, and one of the most fun movement systems I've seen in recent gaming. Had the game leaned in more to the Metroidvania style it seems it was trying so hard to capture, it could've ben something incredible. As-is, I hope this isn't the last game we see that takes the horror genre and flips it on its head in fun ways.
