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.
