Do you want to pet some mimics, the creepy and cute creatures in Prey? Now here's the chance! In Mimic Terrarium, you can pet mimics, watch them turn into mugs, and give them hats!

Mimic Terrarium is now out on itch!

Devastated that I'm never going to be able to play a masterpiece like Prey by Arkane Austin again. RIP Arkane Austin 🫡🫡

I couldn't resist, I knew I had to

Might touch it up later, but it took me most of yesterday to get this thing done, pretty proud of the outcome tbh

Revisiting Prey with a few friends, one being someone that played it at the same time I did. And he pointed something out to me that I hadn't thought much of. Just a difference in how we play, observe what we play, so on. We like the same things, but it is kinda interesting.

Spoilers for Prey 2015 btw

The first time I played Prey, the moment you break the glass of your balcony only to reveal a testing site, I knew Morgan wasn't a person. Like, Morgan IS a person, but we are not actually playing Morgan or even a "real" human. Why else would the scientists be so confused about a human hiding behind a chair? When we have these mimics that turn into chairs and mugs to hide?

I love games like this and I love twists like that too. But I'm also the kind of gamer that is hyperaware, reads everything, smashes everything, so on and so on. My friend told me I didn't necessarily ruin it for him, but he hadn't expected it to be right to an extent (I originally thought our character was JUST a Typhon that somehow evolved or likely tried to consume the real Morgan). Whatever the game told him that didn't require reading, he went with it right up to the end.

And yes, you learn that Morgan Yu was experimenting on himself. Yes, you get an explanation for your amnesia. However, Morgan's experimenting was NOT known to ANYONE besides his brother and the Neuromod AI versions he made of himself. Supposedly, because the actual ending and additional twist that I had NOT thought was coming (like, the game lies, but must it lie so much?).

Besides that, we've been talking about how differently we play games. If I don't have to kill, chances are I won't. If I do have to kill, chances are I will rationalize it. Any game that gives me the choice or has the choice, that's how I play. My friend, however, plays any game like a shoot 'em up. When I finished the game, I got the best ending and only killed ONE person (that the game didn't count, as it should not because dude was horrid). My friend, however, killed everyone he COULD kill with little thought.

We play the same games, yet have completely different experiences. Dishonored would be a better example of that because honestly? I killed no one save the targets, mainly because the "mercy" offered seemed far worse than death, I didn't steal off people, and the final stage was a cake walk. He killed everyone, stole from everyone, completed any quest given to him, stole from even the lady starving herself so she could feed her kids (was the 6 coins worth it dude), and the final stage was a NIGHTMARE.

Just some musings.
