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]… Expand

    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.

    Indigo Prophecy may not have the technical backings of a winner with its dated graphics and strange control scheme, but everything else screams classic.
  3. 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.

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

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

    Flawed genius - but so captivating while it lasts that you won't really care. [Oct 2005, p.94]

    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.

    People seem to keep ragging on the game play, and while the simon says circles aren't highly exciting, you have to realize that this is People seem to keep ragging on the game play, and while the simon says circles aren't highly exciting, you have to realize that this is an adventure game, a genre that has historically been completely point click. The point of an adventure game is generally story, with most actual game play being dominated either by puzzles, or in this case, rapid decision making in stressful situations -- where the results can largely affect the story. Action sequences involving the colored circles I felt made the player feel the intensity of the situation -- and to keep you focused and engaged to intense cut-scenes without distracting you from them. This is a rather revolutionary adventure game in that it is dominated by decision making that actually has real affect on the plot. I found this game to be more gripping and exciting than many action games, because making the wrong decision in this game can have negative and irreversible consequences for my character that are not just 'you're dead, respawn and try again.'… Expand

    Fantastic! The game was so engrossing, mostly because you were constantly forced to change your button pushing and you were never sure what Fantastic! The game was so engrossing, mostly because you were constantly forced to change your button pushing and you were never sure what was going to happen next. Yes, I got frustrated towards the end of the game when I couldn't stop my characters from doing certain things and when the story went a little too fantasy for my liking. But overall it stands out from so many games now because it's easy to jump in and play (unlike many RPGs) and it's not about killing as many people as possible. If you take it as an interactive movie rather than something where you can actually change to plot in significant ways, then it's great.… Expand

Когда игра целостна, она захватывает, уводит в свой потайной мир, изменяет наше состояние, заставляет переживать вместе с героем все повороты сюжета.
    Управление в «Фаренгейте» повергает в шок своей необычностью, особенно людей, привыкших к FPS и 3D-action. В обязательном порядке нужно пройти обучение, иначе неинтуитивность управления будет очень расстраивать.
    Причина запредельной неординарности игры содержится в ПРОТИВОРЕЧИИ. Играть приходится и за главного героя Лукаса Кейна, который, будучи то ли зомбированным, то ли одержимым, начинает крошить народ в винегрет, и... за ПОЛИЦИЮ! Но тут всё сложнее, чем в Max Payne: Мона прикрывает Макса, Макс прикрывает Мону. Здесь Кейн сеет и прячет улики, а полиция или находит их, или... всё равно находит, но долго стараясь. Помочь Кейну? Помочь полиции? Вот это дилемма, вот это камень преткновения! Банальность побеждена!
    В игре присутствуют задания на время - обычно мне это не нравится, а уж с таким управлением... Но здесь подобный таймер играет на руку реалистичности - это вам не Max Payne, где вражеская взрывчатка может не закончиться никогда.
    Звук уникален - буквально с начала игры мне хотелось вручить цветы авторам музыкальных композиций. Атмосфера в немалой степени задается как великолепной звуковой дымкой, так и серьезной озвучкой игровых персонажей. Имена известных киношных композиторов - Анджело Бадаламенти, Нормана Корбейла и Фарида Руслана - заставляют уважать игру еще сильнее. Кроме этого, в качестве бонуса можно получить неимоверные саундтреки.
    Движок выглядит слегка устаревшим, однако неплохо отполирован и в итоге смотрится весьма красиво. Когда Лукас впадает в транс, сопровождающие его эффекты поначалу напоминают один из режимов зрения Хищника в AVP-2. Интерьер и транспорт не расстраивает - всё сделано без шика и лоска, но стильно и со вкусом. При этом на детализацию разработчики не поскупились - даже самые неигровые из неигровых элементов и случайных персонажей выглядят вполне натурально, более того - они подсвечены особым атмосферным обаянием игры, переливающимся оттенками радуги.
    Игра поднимает очень важную проблему общества, и это снова и снова заставляет прикипать к ней. В отличие от шутеров, она не прославляет смак убийства, она поднимает вопросы - "Зачем? Каковы мотивы?", показывает, какой тяжкий груз обрушивается на убийцу. Еще одна характерная, но неочевидная черта сюжета - именно рядовым, средним, на первый взгляд, людям подчас уготована просто неимоверная судьба и отведена важнейшая роль в том или ином процессе. Бытие...    … Expand
