Excellent stop on the way to Heavy Rain
This adventure game has interesting characters, a solid story and great cinematic presentation. A number of the gameplay elements were novel to me when I first played Indigo Prophecy, though looking back I can't help but view them as prototypes that were refined in Heavy Rain.
If you've played and enjoyed Heavy Rain, chances are you'll be able to appreciate this game. However, understand that some rough edges tend to show up when you go backwards in a developer's timeline.
If you're just an unabashed adventure gamer who loves a good story (guilty!), you'll also likely be pleased with this game. As others have pointed out, the story can take some odd turns and the quick-time event system can be jarring. We adventure gamers aren't used to needing coordination, after all. Those quibbles aside, this is a winner.
