Not that I ma aware off.

Nope, you can play Mooncrash at any time. Can even open straight into MC from Steam.

You can do that, but you really should play the main Prey campaign through. It's pretty great.

[Zekiran]

Yes you really should but I don't think it's *necessary*.

They are, however *radically different* in play style, even if they're both set in very much the same location / world / with as much detail between them. One deeply rewards careful, slow, explorative caution. the other... kind of does not encourage it even though you'll *need* to do that. Mooncrash is amazing for breaking your habits... or at least getting around them.

ok cause i heard mooncrash is so good i wanna play it now.

[Zekiran]

It is, but if you haven't played the main game, first off you won't have a clue what's going on in it, and second you'll be spoiling a LOT of it for when you do.

i played about 2 hours of the main game

[Johnny Two Tips]

It's not required but it's highly recommended so you understand the game's fundamentals

That could mean you've played like 5% of it, or 20%, depending on play style. Again I'd just say: it's worth your while to finish the first game at least once, to get an idea of what the whole thing actually IS, and then dive into Mooncrash for its headlong-rush-into-scary.

Wait what? I've been playing MC lately and hate always having to go to the main game and then out again from its menu. I don't see MC in my library (though i clearly own it). How does one launch it directly?

Weird, maybe it's something to do with the edition you got. I got the complete edition, whatever it's called, and when I go to the ordinary Prey entry it gives me a startup screen that lets me go to Prey or MC.

Yeah, i just changed the launch options so its goes right to Mooncrash, since for now that is all i'm playing. But yeah, i never got a prompt at launch to choose which option previous to doing that.

I'm planning on getting mooncrash soon :)
