The wolf, based on some notes, seems to be an agent on of the God(s), searching for someone capable of fighting off the physical forms the God(s) were trapped in. Since the protagonist was still alive, they couldn't come to this new world, but were granted somekind of boon to make survival in the dead world easier as a thanks for helping the Gods escape their torment. (This lines up with the achievements saying "Release the 'X'" instead of "Killed the 'X'".)Īt the end of the game, the protagonist successfully manages to restore the God(s), and the God(s) creates a new world that isn't a frozen hellscape for a new generation to survive in. Whenever you 'kill' one of the gods, you're actually releasing it's essence to return back to the temple where it can heal. There's no indication of what that price might be just yet, but interested parties should keep an eye on Praey to the Gods' Steam page in the run up to its January 31st early access arrival.Going off of the notes and the painting seen around the game, the way I interpret the plot is that the previous inhabitants of the land were abusing rituals to seal the worlds God(s) into a physical form to try and abuse their power. No Matter also notes that Praey to the Gods will likely remain in early access for between 6 and 12 months, and that it has no plans to increase the game's price once Version 1.0 arrives. However, the developer says it's moving into Steam Early Access as "we love making this game and would still like to add some additional content, polish, and optimization prior to a 1.0 release." Praey to the Gods has been in various stages of alpha and beta testing with Kickstarter backers for the last two years, and has now reached a point where the core is, according to No Matter, "feeling solid", and the content promised as part of crowdfunding is now complete. To that end, it's necessary to hunt for food, craft weapons and armour, even seek out shelter as day turns to night and the weather worsens. It's a lot more open, for starters, enabling players to tackle creatures as they choose, and, more crucially, exploration of the harsh landscape depends on players' ability to survival. Praey for the Gods is openly inspired by Fumito Ueda's masterful Shadow of the Colossus - but seeks to build upon that game's sturdy frame. If that brings to mind a certain PS2 classic, then you'd be right. And that, it transpires, involves slaying the gargantuan creatures (or gods, if you will) that inhabit the mysterious world. Praey for the Gods' beautiful, snow-blanketed landscape looks wonderfully melancholy, and provide a striking backdrop to the adventures of a young hero tasked with finding a way to end the perpetual winter. Not long after, it successfully managed to crowdfund $501,252 USD through Kickstarter, easily smashing its original $300,000 USD goal.Īnd really, it's not hard to see the appeal. Praey for the Gods (which, once upon a time, didn't have the conspicuous 'a' in its name - until Bethesda's lawyers got on the case) was first unveiled back in 2016. No Matter Studios has announced that its atmospheric, boss-focussed action-adventure, Praey for the Gods, will launch on Steam Early Access on January 31st.
