About this game
About
Before the Dawn: SENARA Prologue is a first-person survival horror game where you infiltrate the SENARA disguised as a follower to uncover the truth behind a dangerous cult.
But once your cover is blown, you're imprisoned—and now, your only goal is to escape.
Navigate the claustrophobic corridors of a massive, 6,000-ton ship meticulously recreated from a real vessel.
As the truth slowly unravels, you'll come face to face with a grounded, suffocating sense of fear.
In this eerie world ruled by faith and fanaticism, you must avoid the eyes of ever-watchful sentinels, collect clues, recover a vital investigation journal, and find your way out.
This game is both a standalone experience and a prelude to SENARA: The Sacrament, shedding light on how one key character became entangled in the events to come.
Key Features
Hyper-immersive realism grounded in reality
Experience unparalleled tension and immersion inside a lifelike environment meticulously modeled after a real large-scale vessel.
Clue collection & puzzle-based exploration
Gather scattered documents, equipment, and items hidden throughout the ship. Solve puzzles to open up your escape route.
Hallucinations & auditory illusions in silence
Surrounded by hallucinations and whispers in the unnerving silence of the ship, you must maintain your sanity.
If your mind breaks—so does reality.
The ones who stand in your way
Someone—or something—is always watching.
Move carefully to avoid patrolling sentinels and uncover the path to truth and escape.
