Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.

Multiple gameplay innovations from the developer that brought you Bullet
Time, including Deathwalk (dying is no longer annoying, it's fun) and SpiritWalk (leave your body to explore, ambush, and solve mind blowing puzzles).
Living weapons, a faithful sidekick, vehicles, giant environments,
jay-dropping memorable moments, a story of redemption and destiny, and a 3-hour epic soundtrack by Jeremy Soule (Oblivion, Guild Wars).
Portals change everything: Experience for the first time the reality
bending effects of a portal world. Prey sets a new standard that will completely mess with your mind.
Imagine a place where gravity isn't always down. It can be controlled,
twisted, flipped, and even wrap around small planetoids? Imagine walking on walls and ceilings? Can you handle this new challenge?
Turn multiplayer upside-down with deathmatch over LAN and Internet with
Gravity Flipping, Wall Walking, Spirit Walk and Portals.
