Neuromod Division

Prey guide · The game's first major area, which includes the prologue simulation.

This is the starting area where Morgan Yu escapes the simulated testing environment and realizes they are aboard the Talos I space station. You must break through the simulation's looking-glass windows, retrieve the Wrench and your first Neuromod, and find a way out to the Talos I Lobby. You will encounter the first hostile Mimics here and learn the basics of exploration and Typhon combat.
