History VideoGame / Carrier

''Carrier'' is a SurvivalHorror video game developed and published by Creator/{{Jaleco}} for the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast. 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.

A canceled sequel for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 titled ''Carrier: The Next Mutation'' was once planned for release.

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.

* BeastwithaHumanFace: Some of the enemies fit this trope. Special mention to the sharks with human faces.

* {{Retirony}}: Leonard, the pilot that flies Jack and Jessifer to the Heimdal, was planning to retire after the rescue mission. [[spoiler:Sadly, he's the first supporting character to die in the game.]

!! This game provides examples of:

* {{Tagline}}: "If you can hear it, you're already dead!"

* AncientEvil ARK, the ancient organism which was found in the South Pacific is 35 billion years old.
* AnyoneCanDie Almost all [[spoiler: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.

* ApocalypticLog You find many of these through the game, detailing what happened before you arrived at the Heimdal.
* BeastwithaHumanFace Some of the enemies fit this trope. Special mention to the sharks with human faces.

* BloodyHandprint One of the soldiers writes a code with his own blood, leaving bloody handprints around it.
* BodyHorror 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).

* DistressCall Jack's team is sent to investigate the Heimdal after receiving no communications for a long time.

* HeroicSacrifice In Jessifer's chapter, the hangar elevator can only be activated remotely, so [[spoiler: Sandra decides to leave Jessifer in the elevator and go activate it outside, being attacked and killed by mutants in the process.]]
* InescapableHorror After the final cut-scene [[spoiler: there's a lingering shot of blood cells being attacked by what is supposed to be ARK, meaning that it's not over yet.]]

* ManEatingPlant One of the bosses in Jack's chapter.
* NightmareFace Some of the mutants have a plant-like face.
* NotUsingTheZWord The ARK-infected creatures on the Heimdal are called "mutants."

* SeeThruSpecs The only way to know if a human is infected or not is to look at them with the BEM-T3 Scope.
* SoleSurvivingScientist Only one scientist is alive when you arrive to the Heimdal.
