I’ve used over 300 neuromods, I am a massive threat with a wrench, they’ll never know what hit ‘em

[pandamonium]

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

[yuqipan]

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

[firetarrasque]

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."

[Lucas.A_]

"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

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.

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.

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!

[MyGamerforlife]

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.

[PracticeNine]

I thought this game was going to be hilarious when I jumped into the helicopter blades and got an achievement for it

[TiptoeTheTank]

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!

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.

[mattstorm]

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.

[foofoo]

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.

[ibelieveingaming]

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.

“Arbor-EE-tum.”

Great video! Never had the chance to play this one, but love when fans of a game do deep dives.

[jackroyaltea]

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.

[jpenning]

I have no idea how the evil that runs Youtube got me to this channel but anyone obsessed with lore is worth watching. +1 subscriber.

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.

[kiroshi]

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
