Description

About the Game

Praey for the Gods is a boss climbing open world adventure game where you play as a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying frozen world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.

Scale Massive Beasts



Overcome impossible odds to climb atop and defeat the massive beasts that are bound to this land.

Climb, Glide, Swim



You can climb on virtually anything you can get your hands on, from ruins and mountains to the massive beasts that inhabit the land. Ascend to the tops of mountains and then glide over the open world to reach previously inaccessible locations. Swim in frigid water to uncover hidden locations that contain secrets and treasure, but don't stay in too long or your swim could become your last.

Explore, Craft, and Survive




You'll arrive on a frozen island with only the clothes on your back -- it's up to you to survive. Make fires, hunt for food, and find the equipment you need to make it through an eternal winter. Nature isn't the only danger, so craft weapons, defeat minions for better gear, and venture into long forgotten caves to discover their secrets. Triumphing over these trials will prepare you for the impossible odds that wait.

Make Your Path



Praey for the Gods is a non-linear game where you choose who you battle and how. While destiny will give you a nudge, virtually all the large beasts can be attempted in any order allowing you to set the course.

Unravel the Mystery



Why won't the winter stop? Why has no one returned? Cryptic paintings left behind allude to a story once thought forgotten. To restore balance and reclaim the land, you will be faced with questions that not even the gods know the answer to.

A Beautifully Frigid World



Explore a landscape of unending winter framed by snow-capped peaks and crawling fog. The remnants of an ancient civilization lie before you, but don't let awe turn into carelessness -- snow storms can crop up at any moment and bury you in a blizzard. Luckily, you can leave footprints in the snow and follow your footsteps back if you are lost.

About the Development Team



Praey for the Gods is being created by No Matter Studios a tiny studio of 3. Brian Parnell, Tim Wiese (glasses) and Hung-Chien Liao. In 2014, the friends began working after-hours on their first game. By January 2016, they had enough confidence in their progress to leave game-studio jobs in San Francisco and move to Seattle. Working in Parnell’s basement, they pursued an all-or-nothing dream to make the game of their dreams.

This game is really good and reminds me a lot of the classic shadow of the colossus. its almost like a copy in the sense that theres an open world with the freedom to wander around and explore in search of items and

There's a fine game if you can get past the awkward name. Praey for the Gods isn't shy about its influences: Shadow of the Colossus, Breath of the Wild, and a hint of a Princess Mononoke vibe, all in a Fimbulwinter sort

If it was just boss fights I would probably recommend the game, but it's ruined by the tedious, grindy, time-wasting survival mechanics. Weapons break after a few hits, you're constantly having to manage hunger,

I regret not heading the warnings in other reviews. Praey for the Gods has a stellar premise, but the execution falls flat. The difficulty scaling is artificial; it feels like the developers decided that making a climb

This was purely a game to ride off of Shadow of the Colossus. It's sad to see that it went the way of a basic :Run around and find resources" simulator rather than an actual game. I could not recommend it in good faith.

Another Kickstarter disappointment. Shadow of the Colossus and Breath of the Wild go together like milk and coke. Remove the stamina, the weapon durability and the inventory management then it could be alright. Going
