Prey – first-person shooter video game

Last Updated on July 12, 2021

Prey is a first-person shooter video game developed by Human Head Studios and produced by 3D Realms.

The game’s story is focused on Cherokee Domasi Tawodi as he, his girlfriend, and grandfather are abducted aboard an alien spaceship known as The Sphere as it consumes material, both inanimate and living, from the Earth in order to sustain itself. Tommy’s Cherokee past allows him to let his spirit roam freely at times, and gives Tommy an edge in his attempt to stop the Sphere.

You can use either the three CD-ROM version, the Collector’s Edition DVD-ROM, or a preinstalled copy of the Windows version, such as downloaded from Steam.

The game has a Mature(“M”): 17+ ESRB content rating.

Features include:

• Built on an enhanced Doom 3 engine.
• Multiplayer deathmatch.
• Portal technology adds a new dimension to gameplay, allowing enemies to appear out of thin air and create new and completely original puzzles and gameplay styles.
• Several unique gameplay elements such as Spirit Walking, Wall Walking, and Deathwalk.
• Highly organic, living environment that itself can attack Tommy.
• Deep, emotional story of love and sacrifice.
• Tommy has a sidekick, a spiritual hawk that can help him fight enemies and decipher the alien language of the living ship.
• Multiplayer game support that takes advantage of the unique gameplay styles in Prey.
• PunkBuster support.
