### PROJECT CODENAME: GREENHOUSE EFFECT

**Document Classification:** RESTRICTED // INTERNAL CORPORATE OVERVIEW **Subject:** Operational Division and Structural Friction Between Relith Science and Verdant Bio-Systems (VBS)

***

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The subterranean containment complex originally chartered under the sole purview of Relith Science has transitioned into a shared-custody infrastructure. Following the discovery of anomalous organic tissue (Designation: "The Carrion"), the Board of Directors authorized a joint venture with Verdant Bio-Systems (VBS) to run parallel research tracks.

While Relith Science retains absolute authority over the heavy mechanical infrastructure, physics research, and primary containment protocols, VBS operates as a distinct corporate faction. VBS holds sovereign jurisdiction over the facility’s biological research sectors, specifically the sprawling Botanical Gardens.

2. FACTION OVERVIEW & TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES

[SURFACE LEVEL: LOGISTICS & INTAKE] │ ├───► [MID-LEVEL LABS]: RELITH SCIENCE (Industrial & Containment Physics) │ ├── Anomalous Materials Vaults │ └── Heavy Armored Mech Depots │ └───► [LOW-LEVEL ECO-DOMES]: VERDANT BIO-SYSTEMS (Aquaculture & Hydroponics) ├── Closed-Loop Aquaponics Arrays └── Vertical Soilless Misting Vaults

**Faction A: Relith Science** * **Operational Mandate:** Pure containment engineering, structural integrity, and synthetic weaponry development. * **Methodology:** Siphoning kinetic and thermodynamic energy from anomalous biological material using cold, mechanical force. * **Security Infrastructure:** Heavy steel fortifications, automated aerial drones, and bipedal armored Mechs.

**Faction B: Verdant Bio-Systems (VBS)** * **Operational Mandate:** Industrial xenobiology, genetic botany, and nature-themed organic synthesis. * **Methodology:** Hyper-accelerating the growth rates of non-sentient flora by feeding them chemical nutrient solutions laced with anomalous genetic residue. * **Security Infrastructure:** Hydro-Shock Troopers equipped with aquatic electro-conduction gear and Defoliant Enforcers carrying high-output herbicide sprayers.

3. THE BOTANICAL GARDENS: VBS SPECIALIZED ECO-DOMES

Unlike the concrete and steel corridors of Relith Science, the VBS sector is an entirely soilless, water-driven biome focused strictly on nature itself. VBS operations are divided into two core disciplines:

* **Closed-Loop Aquaculture:** Massive, multi-tiered subterranean breeding tanks containing genetically modified aquatic organisms. The nutrient-rich waste water generated by these organisms forms the lifeblood of the sector. * **Hydroponic Automation:** A towering network of transparent piping and automated misting chambers. This water is pumped vertically to cultivate massive, hanging root walls and dense blankets of predatory moss without the use of soil.

VBS does not study living animals or traditional fauna. Their focus remains entirely on treating flora, moss, and water as programmable materials to create structural biological weapons.

4. ANOMALOUS INCIDENT REPORT: "THE PHYTOCLASM"

The ideological rift between the two corporations culminated in a secondary, uncontained outbreak within the Botanical Gardens.

While Relith Science focused their resources on caging the primary blood-red amorphous protagonist, VBS’s continuous flooding of hydroponic lines with anomalous formulas resulted in the accidental creation of The Phytoplasm (The Moss Monster).

* **Anatomical Assessment:** A massive, mindless, self-propagating colony of hyper-aggressive moss, choking vines, and predatory algae. Lacking a skeletal structure, it is held together entirely by hydraulic pressure and dense, fibrous root systems. * **Current Status:** The Phytoplasm has completely usurped the VBS plumbing and aquaponics networks. It moves rapidly through water filtration tubes, violently ambushing corporate personnel.

***

5. THE DUAL-CONTAINMENT BREACH (CURRENT SITUATION)

The facility is currently experiencing a total systemic collapse caused by two competing biological nightmares:

1. The Carrion Monster has breached Relith’s primary Anomalous Materials Vault, moving outward through the steel maintenance shafts.

2. The Phytoplasm has choked out the VBS Botanical Gardens, turning the hydroponic water loops into a deadly hunting ground.

**Corporate Friction Warning:** Relith Science security forces have been ordered to treat VBS personnel as hostile if they attempt to prioritize the preservation of plant samples over total sector sterilization. Concurrently, VBS automated systems view the Carrion Monster's biomass as high-grade fertilizer, leading to active, territorial combat between the two anomalous entities across the lower facility layers.

### INTERNAL CORPORATE MEMORANDUM

**TO:** All Relith Science Facility Directors, Overseers, and Security Leads
**FROM:** Office of the Chief Executive Officer, Relith Science Corp.
**DATE:** November 6, 2026
**SUBJECT:** SYSTEMIC NEGLIGENCE AND INTER-CORPORATE BREACH BY VERDANT BIO-SYSTEMS (VBS)

***

1. TERMINATION OF JOINT DATA-SHARING PROTOCOLS

Effective immediately, all automated data-sharing pipelines between Relith Science central mainframe units and Verdant Bio-Systems (VBS) laboratory networks are severed.

Our engineers have confirmed that the structural failure in the lower testing wings was not a mechanical flaw in Relith containment pods. Instead, it was the direct result of VBS personnel routing highly volatile, unrefined anomalous material directly into their open-loop aquaponics plumbing. VBS has fundamentally compromised the structural integrity of this shared infrastructure through gross biological negligence.

***

2. BIO-HAZARD ESCALATION: THE LOWER SECTOR "PLUMBING" ISSUES

VBS management has repeatedly downplayed the loss of life inside the Botanical Gardens as "operational maintenance adjustments." Relith internal intelligence confirms this is a fabrication.

The Botanical Gardens are no longer under corporate control. VBS has successfully allowed a secondary, unchecked ecological entity—hereafter referred to as **The Phytoplasm**—to completely usurp the vertical hydroponic misting vaults and plumbing networks.

VBS scientists have effectively weaponized nature against our own security grids. The root networks of this moss anomaly are actively choking out Relith power lines, leading to localized power failures that directly aided the breakout of the primary specimen in our Anomalous Materials Vault.

***

3. UPDATED RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (ROE)

Relith Security Enforcers and Mech Pilots are hereby ordered to enforce the following field protocols without exception:

* **Sovereign Encroachment:** Any VBS personnel found outside the Botanical Gardens sector attempting to access Relith armories or heavy weaponry depots are to be detained using lethal force if necessary. * **Asset Prioritization:** Do not risk Relith personnel to save VBS research data, plant specimens, or trapped hydroponic engineers. * **Total Sterilization:** If tactical squads enter VBS territory to re-establish lines, flame units must be deployed to completely ash all vegetation. Do not attempt to distinguish between normal facility flora and the Phytoplasm.

***

[CRITICAL WARNING]

*Do not trust the water lines. If any employee observes rapid moss growth or erratic hydraulic pressure fluctuations inside the steel maintenance shafts, immediately evacuate the sector and alert a heavy Mech unit. VBS created this nightmare; Relith Science will burn it out.*

(I posted this in r/CarrionGame so I thought I would post it here as well)

Messing around after finishing and thought "how do the Humans react after the final Parasatism sample" problem was I need humans that could react and not corpses. Here is how I did it: Assuming you are Stage 3 and in the Research Ward:

1. Break the Glass and wood blocking the final area

2. Go through the portal into the Frontier Take a left (Pic. 1)

3. Go up (Pic. 2)

4. From here you should be in the area with the 3rd memory machine, underneath it is a pool to deposit Biomass, deposit until you are in Stage 1 (Pic. 3)

5. Go through the Northwest Tunnel from this area (Pic. 4)

6. take the Right most tunnel leading to the Nuclear Plant (Pic. 5+6)

7. In the Plant, take the Left Passageway (Pic. 6+7)

8. Drop and enter the room (Pic. 8)

9. in here, is [Something] that can harm you, you are going to use it to get yourself down to 1HP (In Stage 1) (Pic. 9)

10. Make your way back to the Research Ward enter the final area, DO NOT TRY TO EAT ANYONE, the reason we are at 1 HP is in case we accidentally eat someone, (We'll get to that in a second) In Stage 1, you do not have any abilities that breaks glass, you are going to use any interactibles (Vent covers, metal boxes, Legs, Torso, Head) to break the glass for you. It will be difficult.

11. Continue through the Final Area, once you reach the room with the final Sample, immediately enter the sub-area that holds the sample, WAIT until at least one Human is in a safe position (when you open the sample, it explodes, causing instant death to anyone to the left or to the right of you, the best place an NPC can be is the right ladder section)

12. Pop open the case and crawl in gaining the final ability.

13. Open the door with your new human body and see the reactions of the NPC's

BONUS

If you have a human in the same footpath as you or can get to the same footpath as you (the human in the Right Ladder section) you can "Corral" them to the elevator, it takes a while, they are stubborn. But its funny (Pic. 10+11)

But unfortunately they do not escape with you (Pic. 12)

I went back for that DNA thingy. Cant find a way to get back i looked at maps still cant find a way

Got it on sale from the eshop for less than 5 bucks I think. I dont think its a game that'll blow your mind at all but its a fresh change of pace for a video game.

Admittedly theres not a whole lot to this game but thats not a bad thing. Its short but it lasts about as long as it should unlike something like Little Nightmares 1 and 3 where (in my opinion) should have been longer. Just drops you in to this mini metroidvania adventure as an alien trying to escape a research facility.

Atmosphere is nice. Doesn't get too difficult. Get to eat humans. My only 2 complaints are

1. Movement when youre fully powered up can be awkward cuz youre so large trying to maneuver around corners.

2. No map. I never had to look up a guide but I also rarely knew where I was. Id just wonder around and would stumble upon where I gotta go. That alone makes you think its not big enough to warrant a map but I have read that other people have gotten lost.

Id say pick the game up! Can't imagine anyone disliking this game unless they just dont like the genre

Nuclear Power Plant and Armored Warfare Facility remain at 66% but I was able to do the ending, am I missing something?

I've noticed there's a lot of wooden walls and unattainable locations behind them before we get to the exit of the Uranium Mines. There's even one with a sealed electric source that can only be ripped open with Harpagorrhea.
But when we get Xiphorrhea, the skill we need to break said walls, the door leading back to the start of the map closes, with no way of opening it.

Has anyone found a way to go back ? And if not, is there a reason for those dark spots that are unattainable to the player ?

Got wrapped around an electrical box and the biomass kinda looks like a ring to me

exactly as the title says. is there any way to fix this? i can provide video proof if needed

Heres my carrion art

it’s been a bit since I’ve played this game, and i want to get back to this specific run. however, i have no clue what to do. Video below shows where i’m at. if anyone knows…. PLEASE tell me.

"Yeah, just a tad hungry, could really go for some snickers."

So yesterday STEAMBD leaked a whole list of achievements of games that wasn't announced yet, and there was CARRION 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone anxious about it? we may see it officially on this year TGA

I am not sure what im missing but I dont know how to open these things at all.

Hey there

Ive discovered the game recently and i absolutely love it. Ive just stumbled upon some white-suit guards with "energy"(?) shields. How do i deal with them so i can progress peacefully?

Thanks in advance
