The spirit force is often used to solve environmental puzzles within the game as well as to locate paths that are not visible to mortal eyes. The spirit has limited interaction with the environment, though it is able to activate control panels and can use a spirit bow to strike at foes. The player can detach Tommy's spirit from his body, allowing the spirit to roam freely for a short time. Small planetoids inside The Sphere can also exhibit their own gravity fields, allowing the player to walk completely around the outside of it. Special paths allow the player to walk along them, remaining upright regardless of orientation, though should the player fall or voluntarily jump off the path, gravity will reassert itself.
Unlike the later game Portal, the player cannot create portals directly without the use of mods, and portals remain fixed in space. Portals in the game can transport the player from one area to another instantly portals can be looked and shot through and can also be traveled in reverse. The game's engine introduces two unique aspects to exploration. During the game, the player will collect a number of alien weapons, some comparable to typical first-person shooter archetypes, others more alien in behavior. Prey is a first-person shooter with the player in control of the protagonist Tommy as he explores the gigantic extraterrestrial craft Sphere and fights its inhabitants aboard. The rights to Prey passed on to Bethesda Softworks, who released an unrelated game of the same name, developed by Arkane Studios, in 2017. Prey was a commercial success, selling more than one million copies in the first two months of its release and leading to the abortive development of its sequel Prey 2. The game received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its graphics and gameplay but criticizing its multiplayer component for a lack of content. While the general approach to gameplay, including the use of portals, remained in the game, the story and setting changed several times. Prey had been in development in one form or another since 1995, and has had several major revisions. Tommy's Cherokee heritage allows him to let his spirit roam freely at times and come back to life after dying, which gives Tommy an edge in his battle against the Sphere. The game's story is focused on Cherokee Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi as he, his girlfriend, and grandfather are abducted aboard an alien spaceship known as The Sphere as it consumes material, both inanimate and living, from Earth in order to sustain itself. Prey uses a heavily modified version of id Tech 4 to use portals and variable gravity to create the environments the player explores. The game was initially released in North America and Europe on July 11, 2006. Prey is a first-person shooter video game developed by Human Head Studios, under contract for 3D Realms, and published by 2K Games, while the Xbox 360 version was ported by Venom Games.
