History VideoGame / PraeyForTheGods

* SpiritualAntithesis: Despite largely being a successor to ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', the story is different in that it is a {{Reconstruction}} of a BossGame. ''[=SotC=]'' heavily implied that Wander's quest to slay the Colossi was self destructive to everyone in the long run, and tried hard to make you feel unsettled at actually slaying the Colossi. ''Praey'', on the other hand, makes it clear from the get go that what the Heroine is doing is for the good of all of mankind, and heavily implies that slaying the gods isn't just good for humans, but for the gods ''themselves'' as well. [[spoiler:Lore notes and hieroglyphics in the game heavily implied that the Gods were inslaved into these forms against their will, and the Norns outright refer to killing a god's physical form as the act of 'freeing' them.]]

The [[NoNameGiven heroine]] wakes up on a snow-covered island after their ship crashes on its shores. With scant few resources, they soon stumble upon one of the Gods that inhabit the land. Despite the odds, they manage to slay it. Soon afterward they are dragged unconscious by a wolf to a temple, where they discover the Norns. The three tell the heroine that there may be a chance to save this world yet; but not without a great cost.

The player character wakes up on a snow-covered island after their ship crashes on its shores. With scant few resources, they soon stumble upon one of the giants that inhabit the land. Managing to slay it, they are soon afterward dragged unconscious by a wolf to a temple, which directs them towards more of the giants of the land. With no way to escape the island, the player character has no choice but to continue her giant-slaying, trying to decipher the scant few hieroglyphs from the land's precursors along the way.

The game was originally officially titled ''Prey For The Gods'', and it was [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/802508750/prey-for-the-gods funded]] on Website/{{Kickstarter}} under that name. However, Creator/{{Bethesda}} soon sued them, claiming that their name was a copyright infringement on the ''VideoGame/{{Prey}}'' trademark, and would interfere with the [[VideoGame/Prey2017 upcoming game]]. They settled by changing the name to its current form, but keeping the old logo on the cover.

* MonsterShapedMountain: There are lots of immense figures fused into the mountainous terrain, mainly faces and outstretched arms. Those with visible torsos exhibit deeply-recessed chest areas, suggesting they are either sculptures of additional gods or the petrified remains of those destroyed by other giant-slayers.

* AnAxeToGrind: A weapon, with a MundaneUtility function of chopping down lumber for campfires.

''Praey For The Gods'' is an ActionAdventure game, developed and published by an experienced team of three named No Matter Studios. It is heavily inspired by ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', and blends its signature boss-slaying with survival elements in a more developed Nordic-style open-world. It was released on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on January 31st, 2019. The full game is also slated for UsefulNotes/Playstation4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne.

* SavageWolves: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig Zagged]]. On the one hand, the one wolf in the game that drags the player to the shrine upon beating the first boss doesn't take the opportunity to make a meal out of them while they're unconscious. On the other hand, there's a cutscene where the player character tries to pet the wolf only to be attacked, albeit not in a way that leaves any wounds. [[spoiler: Give that the wolf gets progressively bigger by drinking from the pool of bright glowing blue water that grows in size with each giant the player kills, it seems to suggest it has its own motivates for keeping the player character alive.]] As of the end of the alpha builds, the wolf can be seen sleeping in the shrine and seems more annoyed by the players presence than anything.

* WideOpenSandbox: While the shrine will usually prompt you towards what boss it ''suggests'' you do next, there's nothing outright ''saying'' you have to do that boss next. You can very much stumble upon any boss out of order; which is rather easy, considering it's possible to sometimes spot them wandering outside of their arenas.
