Morgan is then contacted by January, an Operator and artificial intelligence that claims to have been created by Morgan. It is 2035 and they have actually already been living on Talos I for three years. Morgan wakes up again in their apartment, but quickly finds out that it is merely a simulated environment. However, while taking a series of tests prior to leaving for the station, one of the supervising doctors is attacked by a Typhon and Morgan is knocked out. In March 2032, Morgan Yu is recruited by their brother Alex to join TranStar's research team on Talos I. Prey is not an open-world game but it features open-level gameplay similar to Arkane's Dishonored. To survive, the player controls Morgan collecting and using weapons and resources aboard the station to defeat the Typhon. The player is able to select certain attributes of Morgan and make choices that affect elements of the game's story.
The player takes the role of Morgan Yu, a human aboard a space station with numerous hostile aliens. Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing game elements and strong narrative, inspired by System Shock 2.
