Carnivorous is a three dimensional puzzle game in which players play as a Gene Thief, a creature which can eat things and copy a degree of their genetic material harnessing it to change their body for a short time. The gene thief's objective is to escape the planet without being found out, to do so they must clear stealth based objectives and harness their abilities to solve a variety of puzzles.
Gene thieves are unable to directly engage opponents in combat as anything they are relatively weak, primarily preying on creatures their size or smaller allowing them to mutate their bodies for the rest of the level. They can occasionally get genetic strands from larger creatures through scavenging though using these can place a strain on their bodies meaning they can only use these mutations for a very short time. Some mutations will overwrite other mutations when they are absorbed so players will need to manage the variety of mutations they may be able to gather during a level to complete puzzles in a variety of ways with the end goal of escaping the planet alive.
Carnivorous is a predatory stealth game, plays should feel like they are outwitting the enemies in the game able to quickly and deftly navigate around them while still providing a challenging experience, they will need to assess their surroundings as players often have to with any stealth game but they will also need to assess the potential mutations they can use and how they will interact to complete the puzzle in one of the numerous ways available to them.
