 ''"Civilization is only skin deep"''<br />
 Jen and her gargoyle companion [[Scree]] battle through four elemental realms to restore balance between Order and Chaos. Along the way Jen gains the ability to transform into four demonic forms.
-Like it's Japanese counterpart Ico, the British game Primal is as much or more about experiencing the game's universe and interaction between characters as it is about gameplay. In stark contrast to Ico's minimalist approach, Primal spared no expense in its presentation production values.
-Incredible amounts of motion capture, BAFTA nominated soundtrack, machine band combat soundtrack, lavish object and character models, luxurious textures, top-quality voice acting, richly imagined worlds, cultures and races, realistic characters with sometimes extravagant amounts of dialog. Like Ico, extensive use is made of lighting effects, via torches, ignitable urns, wall torches, and changing environmental lighting. Colored environmental light changes the coloring of Jen and Scree as they move through it. Shadows change to reflect the nearest light source.
 It is a single player, two character action/adventure game focusing on Jen Tate, a mortal girl attacked when leaving a nightclub with her boyfriend Lewis, singer in the club's industrial music band.
 The attack leaves Jen and Lewis unconscious in a hospital. A short, dark figure approaches Jen's bed and raises her spirit up out of her body. The figure reveals itself to be a small stone gargoyle named Scree. Scree explains that Jen's body is close to death and she must come with him to the Nexus.
-The player can control either Jen or Scree, an animated stone gargoyle, as they travel through four fantastic realms to restore the balance between Order, represented by Lady Arella, and Chaos, represented by Abaddon.
-Gameplay can be schizophrenic. Sometimes it's like a luxuriously animated old-school text adventure. Sometimes it's a fighting game with tricky combos.
