I had the SAME reaction. When i broke the fishtank in the beginning and saw a room behind it...i was truly baffled. The game had me since then
i was soooo confused and paranoid
Seriously one of the best game openings of all time.
I remember watching for years as the price dropped for the 360 version all the way down to 3$.
I *still* can't wrap my head around the looking glass. Seeing a city and a laboratory both in the same pane of glass is odd.
I can't imagine how this world's Alex would react to the simulation.
"On the good side, it does appear that this Typhon has gained the ability to process compassion and understand humanity.
On the bad side, it seems to be an imbecile."
JFK LIVES! THE GOD AMONG MEN LIVES
I thought this game was going to be hilarious when I jumped into the helicopter blades and got an achievement for it
Little did you know it would turn out to be a masterpiece?
Lmao I did the same thing, but I didnt know that u get an achievement for that
What was the achievement?
@@LecheFressait's called "No show":) Shows that the devs had a sense of humor, and knew how derpy players can be.
honestly, yeah same. i was just sorta bhopping, and ended up jumping into the blades lol
According to developer notes, the cause of the typhon outbreak was a scientist, Trevor J. Young, getting mind controlled by a Telepath when not wearing a psychoscope and freeing a mimic from containment
So that makes January just a flat good character. Insane but blowing things up would have saved earth if Real Morgan did it.
@@thediethrower1803 I'll actually debate this. What if the explosion didn't destroy the coral, or the typhon around the ship? Complete self destruct isn't a guarantee.
@@killstrike-zn1lv That's fair. That or the lobotomy plan are the only options though - since just leaving is probably what real Morgan did - and it did not help.
@@thediethrower1803 Dlc ending shows how typhons ended up on earth, so Morgan decision didn't matter🤷
This channel is very underrated.. VERY VERY underrated. I spent hours listening to these stories once i found out about your channel. It's delivered in a clear way with proper storytelling unlike other videos I've seen. Thanks for making content like this!
She's gonna blow up.
I'm going to second this. I just found this today but it seems very good. I frequent a great many channels relating to alternate histories/ alternate universes, so this channel seems to have a lot of content that piques my interest.
Keep up the good work. The coming future will have a use for minds like the one that cataloged this.
How fitting, Prey was also so underrated. And I think it was just due to this stupid name they had to choose.
I think I decided to abandon January's quest when I encountered Mikhaila and gave her the medicine she needed. I had turned right in the GUTS instead of left and abandoned the quest for the Arboretum to freely explore what I could and encountered her. January was like "how curious that you'd save her when she's going to die anyway when you blow up the station". I think that's when it really hit me that there were more survivors to save - and that January's plan was a sledgehammer where a precision tool would be better. I chose Alex's option for my first play-through thereafter, although I kept expecting him to backstab me.
January was right though because the typhon did make it to earth
@@dumbdumb3387 But if January caused the breakout in the first place it's kindof their own fault. Course if they DIDN'T then sadly they just had the right idea that obviously was not the one real Morgan went for.
@@dumbdumb3387 I believe the Typhon were going to make it to Earth no matter what.
I remember finding Danelle on my first play through. She was the first non telepath controlled human that also wasn’t that “cook” I found actually and it was such a relief to find “another” human for the first time, banging on that glass with the wrench and seeing her float into view.
I love this game so much and it gave me so many good feelings and memories on a first play through, especially since I did not know the twist. it’s one of the games I wish I could experience blindly for the first time again.
The moment that imposter chef locked me in the freezer, it became personal. When I eventually found him, I shot him on sight 😂
@@TakeitEZE_98 I’m gonna remove each finger in several pieces than send just is head and torso with glooo to stop bleeding out into space
Getting the exceptionally high empathy quotient, hearing those operators sing my praises, and shaking Alex’s hand filled me with pride. Whatever it’s flaws, I gotta give Prey that.
Personally, i don't think January released the typhon. I think they escaped over time. They used the typhon and human subjects to make more typhon and then extract the exotic matter. There is a chance a typhon could survive the process and mimic a resource cube, then wait for the cubs to be moved out and sneak around the typhon detectors. Slowly more and more would escape and spread around the station. You have reports from people who see double, one worker replaced a coil only for that coil to melt when a current passed through, and reports of 'black shapes' scuttling about.
They broken containment LONG ago, it was never contained. Then the moment struck where the typhon could attack, replicate, and spread all over the station.
hell, more and more wouldnt even need to escape, just that one mimic making it past security would be enough to take over the whole station, it multiplies, eventually one gets turned into a weaver, the weaver makes corpses into phantoms, the weaver makes coral, more weavers are made, weavers make telepaths and technopaths, weavers make cystoids, and then eventually the apex comes
this is what i got from it, the whole anatomy of typhon is to reproduce on its own, only one would need to "break out" to amass hundreds more, especially with all the staff there
There's an experiment in psychotronics where you can press buttons to coax a caged mimic into shapeshifting into various objects. A mug, a beaker, a microscope... it's all fun and games... then the mimic gets up close to the glass and shapeshifts into the Yu family portrait.
THAT was a helluva moment. Not mindless aliens, they knew exactly who their jailers were all along, likely even since first contact. It was brilliant storytelling. I realized at that moment Morgan's karma was invariably pointing towards dying on the station.
@@Rutherford_Inchworm_IIIAnd considering what the game actually is, we know for certain that Alex found out about the Typhon intelligence as well. This is why he's attempting the endeavours in the game, he's not just basing the survival of the human race on a mindless beast. He's instilling hope into a vessel unbecometh of it, wishing for it to spread like the wildfire it actually is. Hope that the Typhon will feel pity for the humans, and curb their destruction.
Remembering that I was playing a videogame, I chose to kill Alex Yu. I figured that, as a Typhon, being told that I had essentially been captured and brainwashed into turning on my own kind would be engaging and terrifying in equal measures. The humans wanted me to empathize but all I felt was righteous fury at being used and abused... I wanted revenge, but more than that I wanted to do what was right. For MY people.
...
On my second playthrough I chose to side with Alex Yu. Fuck the Typhon.
The typhon seem to function like the Necromorph from Dead Space.
@@nicholasmolberg1043
kinda sorta...
...On a surface level.
When you think about it, the Necromorphs, no matter the type, or species they were made from, are merely proxies for the Brethren Moons to consume more matter. To make sure that the convergence will occur, no matter what.
The Typhon on the other hand? They don't seem to have a greater, quite frankly "Eldritch" in scale purpose in mind. Merely that they are unsympathetic organisms, that have a need to survive.
In many ways, the Typhon could be seen as more primal than the necromorphs, and certainly less malicious than them. I suppose unlike the necromorphs, it was we who disturbed them, whereas you could argue the markers/moons disturbed us, to make us into a resource. Whereas we are more justified against our fight for survival in Dead Space, against a force we simply had no will against. we arguably dug our own burial ground in PREY. Ironically, both were caused in the pursuit of more knowledge however.
Didn't originally intend to take a small comment and write a big chunk of text about it, but the more I wrote, the more compelling I felt the parallels actually ARE.
So, thanks for unintentionally getting me to consider something I never would have otherwise, on a deeper level!
well youre not being turned against your own kind, just being made to work with humanity as well as your own kind, not to kill the typhon, but to stop them from killing anyone else
@@toetruck1589 but the people have already been killed or that's what i inferred. Besides it's enough that the Americans defining hero is an alien who would protected another species from its own kind, kinda like somebody kills human to protect the dogs species survival. Think about rhe narrative what if we are being brainshed to think we aew some other supposedly advanced species just so we can be evaluated on how much we are willing to kill our own kind to benefit said alien. If we reverse the narrative ten out of ten we would kill that mf.
@@toetruck1589 actually i just realized that how much i have to kill my own kind in the simulation so i can be emphatic to the alien specie. I mean we are not Alex in this case we are not even human, we are more lile captain Marvel who is brainwashed to think i am another specie. Actually thats a good comparison. Maybe killing is not the best way, you can always inject Alex into the simulation so he can kill his brother again and again as a typhon.
I have no idea how the evil that runs CZcams got me to this channel but anyone obsessed with lore is worth watching. +1 subscriber.
Calling the CZcams algorithm evil is inappropriate, it is indifferent, lacks morality and can be used for good or evil. The moral blame is on Google.
By accident I didn't realize the guy trapped in the container in space didn't have a suit so I released him. I reloaded a save though after realizing this lol.
This channel really is criminally under rated. I enjoy the way you narrate. The slight hesitation in your voice on some lines. The vocal fry. The hint of playfulness.
A respectable dynamic range.
No it’s very stail
@@dixnyomouff6982 *stale. And no, it's not 😛
cringe. vocal fry is grating and obnoxious to listen to. she didnt even have any or much anyway.
There's a bunch of hints early only that the apartment is a simulation. There is a cookbook, the specific edition of which is dated 2033, 1 year in the future based on the date of the apartment sim. The lady in the hall tells Morgan that they were meant to keep going and would get her in trouble. Kinda like there is a script that's meant to be followed.
You can drag objects into the hallway outside the apartment, into the elevator, up onto the roof and these objects can appear in the switched sim scenes.
"I keep having this... dream... I'm just starring into the black between the stars. There's something there. I know there is. I just can't see it... but it sees me. I can feel it... hate us." - Morgan Yu
Hi, hi! Thank you all who responded so supportingly of the new intro and have helped with feeding the algorithm. This is a very new channel that has grown organically with no advertising or big-name boosts. It helps bring in fellow lore fiends that would be interested in this type of content. THANK YOU!

Really like the narration from the pespective of morgan. Good stuff
“Arbor-EE-tum.”
Great video! Never had the chance to play this one, but love when fans of a game do deep dives.
I go with the headcanon that Morgan never existed and Alex invented them as a sympathetic character to show the typhon that NOT ALL humans are care- and heartless scientists while Alex takes the whole blame of the story as the big baddy while everyone else was just following orders :]
Oh shit that's actually a really interesting perspective
but in one of the cutscenes it says inject more of morgan's cells
@@AnAverageNerd when every cutszene before the last reveal is just a projection that could have been easily altered by Alex before he ran the simulation, nothing whats shown by the plot does really matter, though. But in the end I call this my headcanon, becauso it was the only explanation that made any sort of sense to me. doesnt mean this theory has to be the intention of the devs oh anything xD
absolutely nothing shows that Morgan was a good person at all though. the people willing to do the whistleblowing, and the cheif of security elezar were the only decent ones. all the department heads are awful people, besides elezar of course
That would be an interesting theory but in DLC Mooncrash there was mention of Morgan from Alex and an email from Morgan himself about the opperation backup to Riley which is what Peter goes through based on that backup of her. Even though it's another simulator Im sure Riley would know who her cousins are.
Maybe little bit late, but anyway. There is evidence of Trevor J. Young (the mind-controled human in Trauma Center) starting the containment breach.
I really like the side stories and all that. I once tried putting all major and minor stories into one timeline, but putting that here would be probably too long.
I want a sequel to this game, they could discuss what humanity is and nature versus nurture... honestly it would be awesome.
Yeah, the ending answered some questions about my experience but there were also so many unanswered ones it gave me, and the gameplay was honestly great, though I wish the huntress boltcaster had had more uses, it really didn’t seem to have any for me, I eventually just recycled and and I never experienced a moment where I needed it, a sequel would be great
You should try Soma if you haven't. Very different game but in regards to "what humanity is" its the best game ever made for that discussion.
@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 yeah the game says that it can draw the attention of enemies but in my experience It just doesn’t seem to work
The plotwist that the whole experience was a simulation and you're not playing as Morgan but the alien that "devoured" him/her was awesome.
You would think it’s cliche and predictable but it wasn’t at all. It was perfectly integrated into the story and made a lot of sense. My only critique is that when you choose to escape from the arboretum escape pod, the cutscene almost spoils it. But, to the game’s credit, I was so immersed that I actually talked myself out of possibility that it was a simulation. I was legitimately in denial lol.
@@presidentcovfefe I really didn't expect that the whole experience was to test whether a the aliens can actually learn to understand humans cooperate with them instead of trying to kill them
@@presidentcovfefe I really didn't expect that the whole experience was to test whether the aliens can actually learn to understand humans cooperate with them instead of trying to kill them
You are not playing the alien that devoured Morgan, you are playing a Phantom with Mirror Neurons implanted from Morgan.
@@SioxerNikita I thought you were playing as a Phantom that used to be Morgan
36:15 i was with January the entire time until i had that talk with Alex and he told me about the nullifier. When i saw there was a way to kill the Typon and save the humans i switch so fast
One looming feeling that pursued me throughput the entire game, which was left unstated in this video, is that the Typhon is always one step ahead.
Survivors that I talked to or heard about earlier are cornered or dead by the time I get to them. Areas I cleared out turn out infested with new vigor bu the time I come around. Coral is EVERYWHERE.
There was a sense of powerlessness, futility in this task. And yet, wild hope. Hope that a way can be found. That even if there is no choice, if this is the end of Morgan Yu, it'd be a waste to go without a struggle.
Ever since I've been presented with the choices of blowing up the station or leaving, I was hellbent on finding another way. There had to be one! Saving all these people must have had a reason, right?.. But I still would do it if it hadn't.
Also, the part you remarked about Danielle... It was an amazing moment for me, retracing her steps, finding the clues... Giving the right knock on the window in the right spot, and seeing her suddenly come out to meet me. Even though she was expecting somebody else.
Well when the Dahl thing happens and you do the objective relating to him from a character you saved earlier (avoiding spoilers incase you didn't follow certain story lines or someone else reading this doesn't know) they can be saved no matter how you choose to end the game (pretty sure you might know that but just saying lol)
I find myself slipping into full paranoia with this plot:
-The player is Morgan; the neuromods cause phantomism (all phantoms are named or have prisoner ids)
-Earth wasn't invaded, the neutomods were critically flawed; the typhon injection took over people's bodies
-The only player choice Alex *wont* tolerate is *escape*
-The 'ideal' ending states flat-out, its a lie
-The only Morgan-bot you don't encounter, is the only one that's directly meant to address Alex's manipulation
-The parents are *only* spoken about by Alex, and they're "murder my own kids levels of evil"
-The developer stated "all choices are cannon," which mean none of them really matter for the sequel (ie you can't actually kill Alex in the post credit scene, or Alex dies immediately at the sequel's start)
What probably happened:
The neuromods turned out to be defective. Alex began hardcore testing Morgan, which turned them into a phantom. The parents sent the contractor, not to kill them, but to try and rescue Morgan. Alex is having to reset Morgan's typhon memory, but he wants to make sure Morgan "drinks the kool-aid" before setting them loose.
Eh so rich peoples inner family drama turned into full out war for the future of humanity?
Hey just have to say that you are a little mistaken with some of those points, first of all neuromods do not cause ‘phantomism’ there are multiple examples of people excessively using it and not being affected to that degree. Instead, phantoms are actually made by Weavers who infect dead corpses with Typhon in order to reanimate them without any memories or brain activity above the whole trying to kill you thing and retained voice lines like ‘what does it look like, the shape in the glass?’ Which is a line said by an individual before they died and were turned. Morgan on the other hand, or at least the Ty phone organism we play as experiencing the simulation, is in fact a typhon alien that Alex and the operators were injecting with human DNA and “cell lines” which is apparently a way to “put what we (humans) can do into you (typhons)” in other words giving the typhon organism empathy and free thinking beyond survival instinct. And the typhon on earth was started by a mimic hidden aboard a shuttle that was making a delivery to earth that then allowed the mimic to escape and spread rapidly due to its sneaky nature. Also Dahl was sent simply to recover any precious research and make sure there were no more ‘loose ends’ (people that could expose the secrets of Talos I)
I just want a sequel ._.
@@net343 me too
@@CatLover-gk8uuI don't. Not any more. 70% of the staff left during development of redfall because everyone at the studio hated it. Arkane isn't Arkane anymore.
This video makes me want to play Prey again, I'm gonna do just that tmr!
I strongly support this endeavor.
@@TiptoeTheTank ahh time for the 10th play through
I just found your channel , I'm really digging it. I love dishonored and your lore videos are great to listen to.
Thank you so much! I'm glad it vibes with you.
i could(and did) spend hours listening to ur voice...
Prey 2017 deserves a sequel, any game as good as this that had its marketing managed competently would have done gangbusters.
Prey 2017 is sort of a sequel to Arx Fatalis in that it further develops the design philosophy that Arx laid down. There will no doubt be more, whether or not we return to the same universe.
I REALLY hope that this game gets a sequel at some point in the future.
Really love how you basically made a lets Play/commentary/explenation/summary/Humor thingy and its Really Fun to Listen to.
get ready, that's basically this channel
I love the reflective tone of this video when you're describing Morgan's behaviour, a mix of regret vague curiosity, in regards to the things you/Morgan did/didn't do or find. It makes the story you're telling feel even more like a recounting of real life events than ever (and you already do a fantastic job at that) by adding the concept of 'what if' to the narrative, and I really enjoyed it!
Didnt think id find someone interested about this game in the same way as me! Only Dishonored gave the same gritty yet "silky-clean" vibes. Hope they release a sequel.
Once you start viewing you can only follow through to the end. Very humorous and enjoyable. 👍
I could never get a neuro mod. As someone with visions impairment, or I don't know maybe this is normal, I panic whenever anything gets near my eyes. I also hate needles, so the thought of getting a needle through my eye socket is just something I couldn't handle. I would have to be sedated for this
i am the same but i would very much like to have a few of them installed regardless. why go to college when you can get your major and some other cool skills in 5 minutes?
I hate this inject your eye ways of installing things. We need more innovative way to install implants boys.
same, but there are also many other factors as to why i wouldn't. risking neurological damage every time you install, the government (right side, specifically) being able to control my viewpoint simply by putting it in the neuro-juice, oh wait, I got it, APTO_REGRESSIVE NEUROTOMY>
That’s the entire point of the needle gun dude. It’s a fucked up process that would make literally anyone power cringe.
I thought you meant you couldn't overcome your phobia to use them in game and you just bawsed your way through without any. Which is totally a realistic way to play the game, it's super easy.
Stumbled across this and immediately binged the entire Resident Evil series you did. You have a fantastic style that I really haven't seen anywhere else. Definitely worth a sub and I'll recommend this channel to some friends too.
Oh I’ve been burning through your videos, I really like them! My Morgan (and Corvo and Emily) took pains to save as many people as they could. I killed that rat bastard cook for Daniella though. I do my best to finish side missions and after coming across their logs and the little dnd cards I had to avenge her.
Now, I really want to see how you handle Prey: Mooncrash. It does tell a lot of things.
Ooh one of my favorite games, glad to see you take the time and dive in! Now I want to replay it again 😭
This has been honestly the best analysis I've seen about Prey so far.
10/10. You're 100% my new favorite lore channel.
I think the typhon was Morgan Yu at one point, having undergone too many tests and become mostly typhon themselves.
IDK if that is true, and if it IS actually the plot of this game, i was completly oblivious about it xD
I feel like Chief while hes in cryo getting video essays and game synopsis from Cortana
Mimics: * break out of containment *
Me: By Talos, this can’t be happening!
I love the use of stream clips to illustrate how masterful the prologue of this game is
VERYYYYY UNDERRATED. you are the greatest gaming storyteller ever my dear, please DO NOT STOP!!!
I really like that you played through this using the prospect of negative pragmatism. You went through the game not trying to do what would benefit the people that you happen to like and agree with most. But instead Trying to minimize the harm and possible consequences for everyone across-the-board. That's sort of altruistic Viewpoint is something that's very rarely available to the Player's Choice in most video games. But quite often the negative pragmatism choice is usually the best it's not about everyone gain their best option it's about everyone not getting the shittiest possible result and ends up killing everyone off
you deserve so many more views, i love your voice and how well spoken you are, and your crystal clear explanations of complex lore!
Thank you so much!
Great lore video and one of my favorite games of all time. I love how much it lets you piece things together for yourself. When I first played the game I got so spooked by the Typhon infested labs that I didn't really linger around. I missed several key pieces of information, including the xenogenic brain damage charts you can find in there.
When I later found them while in the neuromod removal chamber it all it so much harder. I hadn't pieced together that all of it was a simulation, and the thought of Morgan having caused irrepairable brain damage to themselves by injecting multiple neuromods sent chills down my spine.
There's so much to uncover in the game, and the more you dig the more you start to feel like the Talos I crew are the real monsters. If you dig the information of the test subject that you can free, you can piece together that this very american-sounding, english-named man is supposedly a prisoner from a Soviet camp...not impossible, but with all the lies they feed to you, to the world, to each other, who isn't to say that they just abducted random people for harvesting, perhaps even disgruntled TranStar workers...
It's a dark scifi masterpiece and one of those narratives that really only works as a video game.
Personally, I believe that the typhon got to earth during the events of the DLC expansion to the game, Prey: Mooncrash.
I also think that weather or not the station was destroyed, the cannon ending likely involved Morgan rescuing the crewmembers and everyone escaping on Dahl's shuttle, which can happen in either eventuality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mooncrash spoilers ahead
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The events in Mooncrash all but confirm that at least one mimic made it to earth, as it is the goal of the telepath quest and one of the "true" character endings.
Love your channel, found it recently. Thank you!
you deserve more attention. this is so well told. Fantastic
What an amazing video!
Excellent storytelling, great gameplay, extended lore and humor.
Crazy how I've played this game through twice and yet half way through this video, the story went in a way I had never seen before. Like I never met Morgan's ex, or Dahl, I don't even remember talking to Dr Igwe. This game is crazier than I thought
This is the kind of video I’ve been looking for. There are so many games I want to know the story of and won’t be able to play. This was amazing. Thank you.
Incredibly underrated channel, hope you blow up soon
I love the way that the Kill Them All ending works, narratively. To be allowed to make the choice you have to have shown humanity, and reason, and volition.
And upon realizing that everything you thought you knew is a lie, and being faced with the man who in his hubris destroyed the world and put you into a false one, to make you into a tool for his own ends, wouldn't it be natural to gut him like a fish in a moment of sheer human rage and anguish?
Just found your channel and this is so good! Great mix of recap and overview with just the right mix of personality.
The latin names for the Typhon are really cool. They give you a lil insight of how they work. The telepaths latin name translates "mind framework" which hints how it creates a framework of mental connections with its victims.
Thank you for covering one of my favorite games! I feel compelled to return to Talos I once again.
Sho was outside the pool window. If you do the chefs request side quest, you find Abby in the freezer, killed by the false chef. Her transcriber has a message from Sho saying to hit the window and she will feel the vibrations.
First video I’ve seen from you. Subbed in the intro because of how beautiful and soothing your voice is. Keep going for sure!!!
it might be an odd thing to get hung up on especially since there's *also* another canon WLW relationship, but i really appreciate the fact that no matter the gender you pick for morgan, the past relationship with mikhaila is the same -- she doesn't swap to be the opposite gender, she isn't replaced with one of the male characters for a female morgan, she isn't presented as an ex of a male morgan but just an "old friend" of a female's. you'd think more games would do thinigs like that since it's just flat-out less work for the devs at the end of the day, but it's still nice to see in its own way
Bruh saaaaame.
with a whole paragraph you appreciate that they let her be gay. yea its a weirdly specific thing to point out lol
@@SobeCrunkMonster if a single paragraph daunts you I can't imagine how terrified you must be of the concept of queer studies or like. media analysis with cultural context in general. get well soon 💝
I played both sexes (Morgan doesn't express gender very much and the viewer can project whatever gender they like over either model) and I never even twigged that I had an ex girlfriend both times.
@@SobeCrunkMonster why would it be weird? Homosexuality was (and to some degree still is) a big taboo and to see it represented so casually here is nice
Another tiptoethetank upload! These are so much fun to listen to while painting minis
an hour long? you spoil us
The typhons are such soft cosmic horror if you think about them enough.
Also watching this video made me realize how much I truly loved this game and love Arkane. Prey might be tied with Dishonored 2 for my favorite Arkane game
How am I just now stumbling upon this. Thanks for the content!!!
This is incredible. Prey is one of my all-time favorite games and this video's great for me to find what pieces of lore I missed while playing. The video is super well edited and narrated, I love it
This is very cool! Love your style of content, subscribed for sure!
love this keep going thanks for the content
I friggin love the delivery, humor and topic subjects! Criminally underwatched.
Just subscribed. I played Prey again for the first time in a few months today. Great to see someone else talk about this game/Arkane titles, great video.
Have you considered doing a video on transistor? Btw, mooncrash showed how the typhon got to earth.
Outstanding video, a lot of work went into this. Liked and Followed
Very underrated channel, very underrated game.
Easily one of my favorites
loved this vid and your comments, subbed
57:42 not a moment of esitation, that was hilarious
Great video!
The only trophies I didn't get in this game were the ones like, no neuromods, no Typhon powers, and stuff like that
Same. I hate being punished for using Nueromods for stuff like hacking and repairs or moving stuff. Otherwise what’s the point?
@@asneakylawngnome5792 same, I get the point of the challenge, but I don't have the time to play the game over and over to get good enough to play without them. That's exactly what it feels like, a punishment
@@damiancrowley569 yeah at the very least they should have done something where even though you are using typhon mods, the game would track the kills you made with them. So if you use those mods to do good, then that’s all that matters. Instead you’re punished for speccing into them in the first place.
This was great! Really well done. 👏🏾
Thanks for the ride. Cheers.
Subbed ✅
Can’t believe I missed this video for so long. I have always loved the Prey game and story behind it. So happy to understand the lore and structure of the game and universe I hold dear to my heat. My thanks
You have such a lovely narrative voice ❤
My god your voice and voice acting are impressive! It felt like a real documentary!
I like this version of a play through - GJ!
Finally a channel to discover more lore
I love this channel i searched a while for a good prey story video and this one was great.
I needed this. I've just finished Prey a few days ago and I wanted to know more about. ❤
this explains so much, I watched a few playthroughs and got the game myself (didn't finish because I bungled up the mission to save the crew/stun the merc captain before the Apex Typhon arrives), so when I tried the escape pod from Alex's office I always got a message saying "damn we need to try again, this isn't the right one" which I always thought was a funny easteregg saying how it wasn't the right ending but now I know it's Alex saying that it's not the right way to solve the puzzle as a human. thanks for answering one thing that intrigued me for a while now
I played a few hours but gameplay is so boring i quit, luckily we have this awesome channel about lore which btw turned out to be freaking boring itself but i like her voice
@@tzzeek dunno, I love binging on this site, the storytelling is rivetting, sometimes I a am just so focused I can't do anything else but listen and I usually just come on CZcams for background noise while I play games but these videos have me enthralled by her delivery. to each their own I guess
@@Nobody_Fn_Important Oh i love her too. I was just saying the lore on the game was boring but still her storytelling captured my atention.
AMAZING lore video, and your voice…..is very attractive sounding.
I feel so lucky to have come across this channel 🔥 amazing content
Awesome video. The way you chose to cover the story through the lens of how you played was really interesting.
I highly recommend checking out the Mooncrash DLC. Though it’s a bit lighter on the story and much more frantic than the base game, it covers what happened at the Transtar lunar base and answers a few of the base game’s more open-ended questions. And it’s nearly as long as the base game as well!
I remember getting this game years after it came out. When I first saw it, it looked more like a horror game and those aren't really all that fun to me so I ignored it when it first came out. But then seeing some gameplay somewhere I was like "hmm this actually looks pretty fun and kinda like bioshock?" so I bought it and tried it out. I had pretty much avoided almost all spoilers except for seeing like the trailer and some gameplay of the typhons.
I was surprised by the opening of the game which was nice to not have it spoiled, and then I also choose the same path as you where when I heard about the disadvantage of removing a neuromod causing you to lose all said memories since getting it. In my mind (as the character I guess) it was like, okay so if I install a neuromod and then something happens like I find out I was lied to or tricked or something (again from what I could see) then they could just remove those neruomods and I wouldn't remember (though I technically would playing the game) so I decided against it and thought maybe later on I might. I never did and finished the game on my first play through without any neuromods. Then I went back and loaded up right before the end and installed as many as I could and tried them out a bit. :P
It was a fun game, was hoping for a sequel but wasn't gonna get DLC since I don't really like getting DLC for games (I prefer them to come with the DLC when I buy them when they are really old to begin with). So far it isn't looking good for a sequel though which stinks.
First video here and holy shit I love the way the story is described especially for this play through
I love this channel ,please make more content

Great video, it's good to watch it after completing the game. Thx! :)

I completely missed that, I was just looking around the room and looked through the window after and was like: “oh there is a phantom in there, I should go in there after I’m done with the rest of this place?
