Just completed this. Is it dare I say: Lovecraftian?

My first guess was that Morgan was a clone #50+ and the memory wipes were just a maintained illusion to keep him from going mad. I found the actual ending to be interesting, but sort of convoluted, for instance:
Was the simulation based on actual events that happened? If all those events happened, how did Alex retrieve Morgan's body to get access to his memories? If the events didn't happen, or rather "are" happening: is Morgan, Alex, etc still on Talos 1, during the outbreak, with Morgan being turned into a Phantom and Alex trying to communicate with the Typhon through Morgan to save Talos 1 and the mankind?
I'm not sure if the ending is supposed to be THAT open to interpretation or I'm just a brainlet.

Prey thread, I guess.

Does no one want to discuss this game? Oh well guess I'm late to the party.

The simulation is based off of Morgan's memories and is meant to be an empathy test for Typhon, i.e. it's probably not 100% accurate since you can do shit like blow up the station or kill Alex.

It's also entirely possible that the ending is still a simulation too, there's a brief glitchy frame where Alex isn't there.

Most underrated game of last year.
Sad that a lot of people probably skipped put on it because of the name, even though I bet not have a fraction actually played the original game.

"It's also entirely possible that the ending is still a simulation too, there's a brief glitchy frame where Alex isn't there."
It's interesting that you mention this, I think it's entirely possible that this is Alex's second layer of simulation to determine sort of conclusively determine whether or not the Typhon are truly capable of empathy. But that begs another question: do Alex, Morgan and any of the other crew even exist?

>Most underrated game of last year.
True. The sales of Prey, Deus Ex MD and the new Dishonored paint a pretty bleak future for these types of games.

I haven't played further than the demo, but it didn't feel Lovecraftian. Lovecraftian as pertaining to his most recognizable work is features ancient incomprehensible alien gods. I didn't get that vibe from Prey.

>features ancient incomprehensible alien gods
That's pretty much the gist of the alien race you encounter in Prey.

That would make sense, why would Alex expose himself to a dangerous entity like that? I think the ending screen is just a second layer to see we actually learned anything.

You mean the mimics? Can you explain further? Or is that more of a spoiler?
