About Prey (2017)
Prey (2017) reimagines the future not as cold chrome and neon but as opulent Art Deco decay. Arkane Studios dressed the orbital Talos I station in 1920s–30s geometry — stepped ziggurats, sunbursts, winged-lion motifs — rendered in retrofuture brass, walnut, and oxblood leather. Warm gold trim glints against black Typhon ooze, the living shadow slowly consuming every gilded surface. The result is luxurious horror: deco grandeur being eaten alive.
