Description

Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe) is an psychological thriller, in which you play 4 different characters on both sides of a murder - the killer and those who are trying to find him.

The game begins as Lucas Kane, the main character, under the control of an unknown force, uncontrollably murders a complete stranger in a New York diner. As the game progresses, you will also play Lucas' brother Markus Kane, who became a priest, as well as each of the police detectives investigating the murder, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles.

You will play through 44 fast-paced chapters as this "paranormal thriller" unfolds. Good reflexes and hand-to-eye coordination are necessary to get through the many action sequences. You'll be able to explore the environment and interact with it, and many tasks have a time limit and will require you to act quickly.

Trivia

Some facts about the game:
  • In the U.S. version, the sex scenes have been toned down to maintain a "Mature" rating.

  • The developers themselves do not call the game an adventure, but rather interactive drama, a story that is evolving according to your choices in the game, where gameplay is the story. It consists of bending stories, with a beginning, a middle and an end, but everything in between can be stretched or has multiple paths.

  • The decision to rename the game Indigo Prophecy in the U.S. was made by Atari. Fahrenheit suggests September 11th because of Michael Moore's critical film Fahrenheit 9/11, even though it's equally well known as a temperature scale, or in reference to Ray Bradbury's book Fahrenheit 451.

  • The game was first to be published by Vivendi Universal, but developer and publisher parted ways in November 2004 because of differences in creative vision.

  • The game was in development for five years - two years to create the tools and engine, two years to develop the game, and an additional year to sell it to the publisher.

  • The game contains thirteen hours of full body and facial animation, which, according to the developers, has never been done in a video game, a TV series, or a film.
