| Indigo Prophecy |
 |
 |
|
(Also known as "Fahrenheit") New York, January 2009. For no apparent reason, ordinary people are killing total strangers in public places. Although there is no link between the murderers, they all seem to respect exactly the same ritual and pattern. Lucas Kane becomes another of these murderers when he kills a stranger in the men's room of a restaurant. Haunted by strange visions, he must keep one step ahead of the police to find out what is happening to him. Inspector Carla Valenti and her teammate agent Tyler Miles are in charge of the investigation. A series of disturbing clues projects them into a world they had never even dreamed of. Meanwhile, the early onset of winter paralyses Manhattan in an unbearable fury of cold and snow. Each day the temperature drops, as a coat of brilliant white snow is drawn over the dark streets of New York. One thing is sure : The final countdown has already begun. Indigo Prophecy creates a new breed of interactive entertainment, merging cinema and interactivity. A spectacular real-time 3D adventure with state-of-the-art camera direction and multi-path scenario. Play different protagonists in this epic quest and make the story progress depending on YOUR decisions. Control different characters in an awe-inspiring paranormal thriller, discern the dark secrets behind mysterious serial killings, understand why the city is brought to a standstill by snow and dropping temperatures, Play the hunter and the fugitive : explore, interact, fight and confront by all means dark forces during your journey. After Indigo Prophecy, the world just can't be the same place again. [Quantic Dream]

Gaming Age
Indigo Prophecy is unique, artistic, immersive and beautiful. There?s no reason in the world why any self-respecting gamer shouldn?t have this game in their collection.

100
Times Online
A completely engrossing game, designed for the patience of adult players, that will stand up to an almost infinite number of sessions. It?s a technically marvellous achievement by David Cage.

100
Just Adventure
No game is perfect, but Indigo Prophecy will be the standard bearer for a future generation of adventure games and would be a great candidate for a feature film. It deserves to be played, scrutinized and devoured by all gamers ? action and adventure, casual and hardcore alike.

93
IC-Games
Fahrenheit features a fascinating, ever evolving storyline that really does change in real time depending on your actions.

93
GameZone
It's not a terribly big budget epic; it's like that smaller, incredibly well-done indie movie that raises the bar with a great core concept and striking attention to detail throughout.

92
Gamer 2.0
Indigo Prophecy may not have the technical backings of a winner with its dated graphics and strange control scheme, but everything else screams classic.

91
Gamezilla!
An excellent adventure title for those of us who haven?t had a good adventure game in sometime, and with but a few small tweaks, this game engine could produce many fine adventure games.

90
BonusStage
The game starts out kind of like "The Twilight Zone" meets "CSI," but then it turns into The "X-Files" with some "Matrix" undertones.

90
Computer Gaming World
Indigo Prophecy marks a tremendous rebirth for a very stagnant genre. Let's hope its mature style serves as an inspiration for other developers.

90
Gamer's Hell
The gritty atmosphere, gripping action sequences, and incredible central narrative all mix beautifully to provide many hours of great gameplay. The ?every action has a consequence? mechanic means that the game offers up considerable replay value.

90
Pelit (Finland)
The game itself is quite simple and short, but the story folds out in a great way. One of the best games of 2005 so far. [Sept. 05]
90
GameBiz
The game feels a lot like a movie, but the interaction is extensive enough that the player is a crucial part of the unfolding storyline.

90
Total Video Games
Those who won?t look at a game unless it?s got big guns and lots of mindless goons to destroy will likely detest Fahrenheit and wonder what the fuss is all about; however those who?d like to glimpse how videogames can become an effective means to telling stories and interacting with them will find one of the surprising contenders for Game of the Year.

90
Jolt Online Gaming UK
A truly extraordinary game, and easily one of this year?s landmark titles. Evocative, unique, original, atmospheric and gripping ? most contemporary releases struggle to lay claim to just one of Fahrenheit?s strengths.

90
Computer Games Magazine
Indigo Prophecy so unabashedly wants to be cinematic that the menu prompt for the new game is "New Movie". [Dec p.56]
89
Computer Games Online RO
Well, it?s a good game, even though some of the purists will say that it?s not a genuine adventure.

89
eToychest
Fantastic ? absolutely the best graphic adventure title of the year ? and is a game others should aspire to in many ways.

89
Game Chronicles
This is a twisted and deranged game, and I loved every minute of it.

88
Worth Playing
In the long run, although you'll find yourself bothered by the control scheme, the just-above-average graphics, and the minor sound quibbles, you'll forget it all as you get sucked in to the story of Indigo Prophecy.

88
2404.org
As an adventure game at heart it's amazing to find it's also a cinematographic experience, an emotionally gripping drama.

87
PC Gameworld
A breath of fresh air in the adventure gaming world, well worth playing despite some dodgy camera angles.

86
Next Level Gaming
Solid graphics with a consistent feel, one of the best story presentations I have seen in a game since the original Half-Life, mixed all together with a variety of puzzles and changing environments combine to make a knockout of a title.

85
PC Gamer
A classic adventure pumped up with massive doses of adrenaline. [Nov 2005, p.82]
85
Stuff
And yet there's still something here that kept us playing to the end. Can't quite put our finger on it...ah yes, now we remember what it was: This game has a story that's almost too damn good for a video game.

84
ActionTrip
Despite some of its drawbacks, however, Indigo Prophecy manages to captivate the player in every possible way. It's a very good game, but not an excellent one. A little more function to go with the gorgeous style and gripping narrative, and this would be a game for the ages.

84
GameSpot
Indigo Prophecy is a game that actually gives the term "cinematic gameplay" some context, as well as some real heartfelt meaning.

83
IGN
The game?s sound, story, and characters are so strong, and the variety of situations players will find themselves in is so large, that at no point is this a boring play experience.

83
Game Informer
If you enjoy a good story and don't mind a more laid-back approach to gameplay, this is a title you simply cannot ignore. [Oct 2005, p.124]
80
Adventure Gamers
Though the inclusion of repetitive mini-games is anything but evolutionary, this game is well worth a look for those who can handle some reflex action in their adventures.

80
1UP
If it was a book you'd call it "a real page-turner"; it can be nigh-impossible at points to put down. When all is said and done, as the credits roll across the screen, you'll remember the poignant moments as part of the story, not the actions you took that caused them to be played out.

80
Edge Magazine
It?s almost shocking how seamless, engrossing and accessible Fahrenheit is. It?s sad, then, that it shows weakness in the one area where it needed to be stronger than any other game: the script. [Oct 2005, p.84]
80
PC Format
Flawed genius - but so captivating while it lasts that you won't really care. [Oct 2005, p.94]
80
G4 TV
It does drag on in a few spots, and its sci-fi bent may betray the original premise, but it brings gamers a deep, compelling story told in a clever way -- both in terms of narrative and gameplay execution.

80
GamerFeed
Now THIS is how all adventure games should be made! Quantic Dream has developed an absolutely brilliant game for a genre that was on its deathbed. This sucker gave us goose bumps, sweaty palms... the works!

80
Armchair Empire
Even though Indigo Prophecy is grim, it?s also engrossing.

80
Quandary
Re-jig the control system and there is no doubt you would be on the verge of an outstanding game. Even with the foibles of the controls, both of us agree that this game was well worth the price of admission.

70
NTSC-uk
Fahrenheit is a bold step in the right direction, and though not perfect, it has enough charm, polish and excitement to make it one of the most interesting titles of the year.

70
GameSpy
Once you get past its unsightly graphics and need for a gamepad, you'll find that Indigo Prophecy is one of the more refreshing and unique titles released in years.

70
The New York Times
But just keeping the player's attention is not enough to make a great game, and the tragedy of Indigo is that it so wants to be one.

60
Sydney Morning Herald
It's about halfway through Fahrenheit that the wheels start to wobble. The game begins to veer away from its complex murder-mystery beginnings into the realm of pure fantasy, with a final chapter that can be hard to stomach.

55
Gamers' Temple
Although the storyline is definitely morbid and intriguing, Indigo Prophecy screams of Dance Dance Revolution and Simon with its directional controls and the near system requirement for a dual analog gamepad.
