The Prey demo's mimics are freaking everybody out - here's why (and how you can play too)

The Prey demo is out now (mostly, more on that later) and you can easily join in on the fun on Talos-1. By "fun" I mean becoming deathly afraid of any object that might suddenly turn into a freakish a🃏lien mimic. They're really messing people up.
The Mimic fear is real

Also was it really necessary to make that loud sound every single time you find a mimic? I get it✅ ‘spooky&꧑rsquo;, but fucking hell its loud. #Prey
Otherwise, the reactions are encouraging
Prey is fucking awesome going off the demo. May 5t🍎h cant coꦓme soon enough.
After beating the @Prey🎃Game demo got to admit it blew my expectations away #hype //t.co/iY5hft2YYy #letsprey
Finished #Prey demo.Hype level eve♏n higher now. Looks like Arkane has done it again, may be another great game in a year of great games.
Though n🍰ot everybody is eager to explor💟e more of Talos-1.
@Pesty13 TBH mate I wasn't impressed by the #Prey demo at all. Found it very average. Not a purcha𓆉se for me.
Prey demo = meh
How to get it
The Prey demo is available for download on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store in Europe. It's free, you don't need to pre-order oꦕr anything. The PS4 version is taking a bit longer to arrive in North America, though Xbox should be fine.
Update: We were told to𒁏 expect the #Prey North American demo on PlayStation to go live at 11am ET. Thanks for your patience!
It's not on PC
Prey is coming to PC, but the demo isn't. Arkane Studios hasn't said why this is the case. If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with preventing pre-release spoilers - it's a lot easier𒈔 to datamine a game on PC. It could also be that Prey's PC performance isn't satisfactory yet. Arkane Studios' last game, Dishonored 2, had that problem when it launched on PC.
You can play for more than an hour
Arkane Studios is calling it an "opening hour" demo, but that's just to give you a rough idea of how much of the game it includes. You can take as long as you w😼ant to finish, then go back and play around with the GLOO gun some more after that.
Even if it's just the first hour-ish of Prey, you can still get up to plenty of mischief. Read about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:8 things you should reജally do in the Prey demo and make sure you don't miss them. And check out why we think Prey's already a frontrunner for༺ game of๊ the year 2017.
