You have always been different. One in a trillion have your gift, your curse: to move between worlds, never settling, always alone. To Wayfare. Yet there are others like you, and something stronger than coincidence binds you together, bumps your lives against each other like charged particles. Now you feel the Call again, and know another of your kind is in need. But when you arrive there are no answers. Just an old man with fraying sanity and secrets buried deep. A tropical paradise more alive than it seems. And a conflict left unresolved that could change the course of two civilizations forever. There are no easy choices, wayfarer. Your decisions will shape the fate of many things. Three worlds. Two lives. And what your own story will become.

Venture past the limits of ordinary reality as you investigate the mysterious disappearance of an old friend. In order to solve the most challenging of these puzzles, you will need to cooperate with yourself by making several time travel trips to the same event.

A horror-lite science fiction game of evasion. (<b>Experimental game:</b> Reading the included survival guide before playing is highly recommended.) Inspired by the casual and round-based designs of visual indie games—such as <i>Slender: The Eight Pages</i> and <i>Duskers</i>—<i>I Am Prey</i> aims to bring tense, methodical, and replayable stealth challenges to screen reader users and text game enthusiasts alike. The player follows the titular protagonist, Prey, and guides the character through a cloning facility under siege. By using parkour navigation and evasion tactics, Prey must avoid The Predator, and locate seven randomly-scattered pieces of an environment suit to escape. The player must be careful, though, because The Predator is <i>always</i> looking for clues of Prey's presence and location. <i>I Am Prey</i> also offers a free-roam "Cat Mode", where the player guides The Predator's pet cat, who can safely discover the secret parkour passages of the facility. <b>Notable version history:</b> This game was originally submitted as a "beta" to Spring Thing 2023, after several iterations of feedback from testers. The final version submitted to Spring Thing 2023 was "0.9.4 BETA", or "Patch 4". On June 3rd <i>(21 days after the competition had closed)</i>, a major bugfix was applied, resulting in version "0.9.6 BETA", or "Patch 6". Patch 6 fixed a soft-lock bug in map mode, revamped <i>Prey's Survival Guide</i>, and also made the guide available from within the game's help menu. The author has plans to release a full, "1.0" version in the future, which is why they had labelled their submission to Spring Thing 2023 a "beta", despite testing.

It was meant to be a routine visit on behalf of the imperial government, just to remind the settlers that the Empire hadn't forgotten them, and if you stick rigidly to the letter of your orders and refuse to use either your eyes or your initiative that's all it'll be. But with an interstellar war brewing in the background, you'd be wise not to take anything for granted.
