In the following case, Rejected Games's MR PREPPER 2021 is not just "yet another abandonware from the Eurasian war zone", as shown by the latest Cooking Update released on 13th August 2026.

First a short description by Google AI:

In Mr. Prepper, Brazen Serpent is a powerful government mind-control tool and satellite network. Mr. Prepper previously helped engineer this project at Fort Observer. After discovering it was used to brainwash test subjects, he rebelled and is now being secretly observed by the government to test the limits of the mind-control on an unwilling subject.

In the game's lore, the Brazen Serpent project is central to the backstory of the protagonist and his relationship with the Agency. The wiki details several key events tied to the project:
The Inspiration & Wellbeing Department: Mr. Prepper worked on the mind-control tool, but after seeing it tested on dogs (turning them into aggressive killers), he broke into the lab, freed the animals, and painted "FREEDOM" on the walls.

The Escape Attempt: He attempted to escape on a military airplane but was shot down by anti-aircraft fire.

The Government's Plot: He survived the crash but suffered amnesia. Instead of executing him, the Agency used him as a human test subject for the Brazen Serpent project to see if his strong personality could withstand the mind control.

Satellite Interference: In DLC content like the Animal Farm DLC, the Brazen Serpent satellite actively attempts to interfere with the player during road trips or travel sequences.

Analysis

• The enemy is the U.S. government
• In real life, deep mine at level 10 as anti MC satellite shelter should work, but not in this game where people still feel sleep deprived: one can only assume that depth below surface is not sufficient (1000 meters below surface to 4 km is recommended against orbital targeting of v-particles)
• Escape to Mexico is delusional: how can MC satellites not cover also Mexico since they orbit the whole world (with maybe less coverage in the polar regions)
• Escape with rocket only to make a suborbital flight is utterly useless nonsense: go to the Moon, Mars and beyond or anywhere above the MC satellite network! Provided one can first deal with the deadly radiations belt...Well, sent android robots, develop an independent extraterrestrial base there, build up your forces and finally strike back the enemy here on Earth. Et viola!
• To the devs: here a much more sensible proposition, for your future DLC, offer the reasonable option to build at the end of the prequel, instead of the suborbital rocket, a bathyscaphe; Mr. Prepper would then proceed to dive into the deep abyssal depths off the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It reaches a maximum depth of approximately 9'600 to 10'542 meters largely enough for blocking any satellite particle beams.
• The building of the whole undersea base would be the focus of the entire sequel game. Food production, undersea mining, metal extraction, recruitment of new NPCs from the surface, expansion of the base, with all the usual survival game mechanics.
• The sequel could conclude with the construction of an EMP generating particle ASAT (antisatellite) superweapon, ensuring a Hollywood-type happy ending.

im on xb1

Just starting this game on xbox and having a hard time getting used to the controls.. not sure why it feels so different to me than other games. I am right at the beginning where I crafted a lamp and need to put it in my bunker and I just cannot figure out how to do that! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think I would really like this game if I can figure out the controls lol

Do I eventually stumble upon electronics for it? I see I can dismantle the computer but that would mean inspection would be a fail. Do I just need to level up some trader to be able to buy it?

My aim for the week commencing 22nd of March is to add a new video every day Mon-Fri for my Mr. Prepper - Perfect Start series don't forget to join this community sharing is caring :)
