At the start of Prey, everything seems normal. You wake up as Morgan Yu, a half-Chinese, half-German resident of a nice apartment in a futuristic high-rise building. You make your way to your brother and the labs at TranStar, and then you go through some testing.

Then everything goes wrong. A black, ink-like creature attacks the doctor who is doing the testing, and you wake up again in your high-rise apartment. Only this time, you step out and everything is haywire. The maintenance worker who greeted you is dead. And an inky creature attacks you as well, and so you have to defend yourself with the maintenance worker’s wrench.
