Prelude is a Keen 1 mod by Levellass that released on Halloween 2023, claimed to be made in 24 hours. It's an edit of Mura that includes new levels (half of which are based on said mod's lone level), plus a different story that is told through text messages. The world map is designed so that the player automatically enters the next level after beating the current, giving the illusion that there's no world map. As with its base mod, Prelude has slightly altered physics, the ability to crawl, lack of pogo and weapon, and an abstract black-and-white aesthetic.
