Hey there everyone, it’s Halloween 2019 and I am doing a 5-night special of horror themed gaming, and I started with Red Barrel’s Outlast II, then I played Tarsier Studio’s Little Nightmares, which I enjoyed so much I played it’s DLC scenario Secrets of the Maw on PlayStation 4 for my fourth night.
For the final night I go back to Arkane/Bethesda’s Prey to try out the Mooncrash DLC, after having played the main game a few months back (check out the full Prey (2017) coverage here). Unlike the main game, in Mooncrash you don’t play as Morgan Yu on the Talos space station but instead you play as a hacker charged with trying to find out what happened on the Pytheas research base on the Moon. In this effort, from your ship you plug yourself into a virtual reality recreation of the final moments of the base, in the body of one of the people formerly there. And that then concludes my Halloween 2019 celebration event.
Until next time…buh-bye!
About Prey (2017)
Prey is a first person shooter game developed by Arkane Studios and published in 2017 by Bethesda Softworks on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows systems. In this science fiction horror game, players control Morgan Yu (who can be either male or female depending on choice) who must deal with an outbreak of an alien species known as the Typhon aboard the lunar-orbit space station Talos I.
Talos I operates as a sort of open world environment, with certain Metroidvania aspects in that the player can’t access all areas of the station until they obtained certain items or variations of different abilities. Players can develop abilities for Morgan from choices between human-derived skill or Typhon-derived ones, which changes not only how you play the game but also how the plot can develop.
