Prey X360 Q&A

Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a
reservation going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces
him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted
along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to
save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.

Prey is serious, dark story, based on authentic Cherokee mythology. Themes of
sacrifice, love and responsibility are explored and the story dives into
emotional territory not yet explored by similar games.

Overview

In Prey, gamers enter an unpredictable world where nothing can be taken for
granted. Most of the game takes place within a living ship, a giant entity that
can sense and react to Tommy’s presence.

Prey makes use of Joseph’s Campbell’s renowned story structure, “The Hero’s
Journey,” for guiding the main character arc. Campbell’s extensive work on
mythological story progression was made famous when George Lucas used it for
Luke Skywalker’s story arc in the original Star Wars.
