Prologue: Go Wayback! is set to enter early access this summer.
The Trailer
The first gameplay trailer dropped today, offering a look into the unforgiving world of Prologue, where players confront nature’s challenges without any monsters or adversaries to battle against. Instead, the focus is solely on survival against elements that can be deadly.
Prologue: Go Wayback!
Gameplay Overview
Players must navigate a randomized map while avoiding severe weather conditions like torrential rains, snowstorms, and nighttime darkness. Survival necessitates securing food, water, and shelter, as even cozy cabins offer no guarantee of safety unless properly fortified against the elements.
Brendan Greene noted, “I expect a lot of people will hate it.” This sentiment reflects the intention to create a game that offers little guidance, aiming for a stark survival experience. He added, “I like brutal games.”
Additional Insights
Ellie, a player who tested Prologue, remarked, “It isn’t likely to redefine the survival genre, but is worth exploring if you’re after a challenging, realistic experience without an extensive crafting system.”
