Our take on Prelude: Psychological Horror Game
The store presentation emphasizes an ambitious psychological horror experience, while the available release is explicitly a pre-alpha Chapter 0 rather than the finished story. Its current narrative differs from the planned final version, making the present scope narrower than the pitch suggests.
What is Prelude: Psychological Horror Game?
Prelude is a psychological horror survival game about a man who wakes in a mysterious town without knowing who he is or where he is.
Progress involves moving between houses and other locations, overcoming obstacles, and entering dark areas. The game uses isolation, pursuit, phobias, the feeling of being watched, and threats to the character’s state of mind. Horror elements may provide clues, reveal information about the character, or communicate darker meanings. This release is a pre-alpha chapter with a story related to, but different from, the planned final version.
