Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)

Great game

This is 10 years old now? I played this new, then about 6 years ago played again off PS store. You start out immediately after a murder was committed in a restroom, and it's heavily implied you did it. You have to quickly hide evidence, clean the scene, and scour the area for any traces of other evidence, but why? If you make mistakes, will the suspicion shift towards you, or point at someone else? Maybe you are a psycho in a black out..... If that doesn't at least pique your curiosity, I dunno what will. I thought this game had a fairly unique story line, that plunged you right in the middle of a Stuff HTF scenario with twists abound and you have to very carefully choose your path out of the hellish nightmare you were thrust into. My only real complaint about the game is it had (QTE) bash the buttons in timed sequence or die scenarios one too many times, and some were downright frustrating- like controller in pieces and screaming at the stupidity frustrating like so many mid 00's game were known for. Don't let that only negative dissuade you from giving this great game a chance (play on easy or at least normal to have a more forgiving QTE experience). Noticed someone mentioned the ending was lousy. Well, good news, the game had multiple endings depending on your choices and how well you played, so apparently he wasn't aware and got a "bad" ending. While uncommon nowadays, it was the norm in the late 90's to mid 00's to have multiple endings, so keep that in mind with other titles too. Google "game endings" for quick reference as some games had 6 or more endings. I suggest playing through once on your own to see which ending you get. If you fail to get best ending, glance at a walk through and try again. It's rewarding and you'll be VERY surprised at what you missed, which makes replay value rather high. The game had difficulty settings. Don't be the "I can beat anything at any hardness type" on 1st go. It'll punish you with the QTE forcing a ton of start overs.

Excellent creativity in it's Golden Age

When I first played this back when it 1st came out, I remember being confused and amazed at the same time. Confused as everything was so "new" and different to me compared to what I'd played before. The style, the narrative, early interactions with NPC from vagrant children to hotel clerks to secondary characters that mattered later on, squatting and looking at a female NPC "sitting", then getting chastised for it as they considered you a creep; hidden areas which either had hidden items in hidden safes, or maybe a small, secondary subplot where you could choose to help someone; choosing HOW you wanted to augment, lock picking, hacking, etc. along with a wild ride of a story line. Confusing at first as I wasn't sure what to do. Do I follow? Or jump in the water and find a hidden item? Do I "obey", or ignore and run to the jail cell ahead of someone else and get my own info? This was one of those games that just NAILED what gaming was about in the 90's. It wasn't the graphics (though they were considered very nice in their day), it wasn't a mindless run and gun respawn run and gun (which gets you killed in real life). It was a bonafide, honest to goodness excellent video game with a story line that got weirder and weirder if you looked hard enough, and rewarded the player for being creative and "using their imagination" to basically do something they weren't supposed to do, which could either flesh out what was really going on, save someone, alter an NPC's life, or just drive the fun factor up an extra 10 notches. If any game deserves a true HD remake with a little extra polish and added content, this is it. While the most recent DX game was OK and in the same spirit as this one, it didn't have the heart, creativity, or ingenuity. In lieu of a remaster, you can go wrong with this. The dated graphics might take a little getting used to, and controls might seem foreign, you won't regret it.
