This is the fourth video in a series of video essays covering Arkane Studios' recent work. In this video, I retell the story of Prey in chronological order. Along the way, I give a close analysis of the game's mechanics, design and narrative. I pay particular attention to the game's themes of empathy, and its metatextual engagements with its players.
