This game constantly crashes. I heard that this game is on PS4, so if you have the console, get the game on PS4. The story mode was great minus the crashes.

First of all, this review will be full of SPOILERS!, of course I will mark most of'em, but if you don't want to spoil game to yourself, just jump to the end.
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered is (as the title says) remaster of Fahrenheit released in 2005, game was available on PC, PS2 and Xbox. Remaster was made by Quantic Dream(They also made Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls), as those 2 mentioned games, Fahrenheit is an interactive film where you take control of 3 characters... We return to that later. Action takes place in New York in year 2009, city is covered by snow and ice, which is slowly taking over the world
WARNING! Now we will jump to MASSIVE SPOILERS fragment of review, be careful
We will start this part from characters that we control

• Lucas Kane - Normal man, just like everybody, until one day, he was chosen to sacrifice one person even though he couldn't control himself, later he discovers abnormal-superman like-abilities, also he is the fugitive.
  
• Carla Valenti - She is a detective, hard-working woman, that works on a Kane's case, I'd mention something here but It'd be a too big spoiler, she suffers from claustrophobia
  
• Tyler Miles - Detective, Carla's work-partner, isn't that strict as Carla, just in the end, we have a choice, we can let him go with girlfriend to Florida, or stay with Carla to the end
  Now, we will jump to the NPC's
  
• Markus Kane - Lucas' brother, priest, the only person that Lucas' can fully trust
  
• Agatha - Old lady, theoretically dead (but her true identity is really well hidden until few last chapters...), trying to help Lucas
  
• Tiffany Harper - Lucas' ex girlfriend, still in love with Lucas, she is killed by main antagonist when Lucas tried to rescue her
  
• The Oracle - Main antagonist of the game, member of the secret organisation, kills people (not directly) to find location of the Indigo Child

Story consists 45 chapters (BUT! In some we can control either Carla or Tyler [They are counted as 2 separate chapters], and some chapters are just cut-scene, so I think [Counting chapters where we control characters and choices] there are really approx. 28 chapters), maybe it looks like a big number, but game took me 8.5 hours, which is decent for game of that type (Yup, it's a pretty long movie). Story focuses on few aspects

• Case of Murder
  
• (LUCAS) Discovering Indigo Prophecy
  
• (CARLA/TYLER) Finding and chasing Lucas
  
• Finding Jade (The Indigo Child)
  
• Deciding about child's fate

In the story, we will meet two clans Purple Clan - Agatha belongs to them and Orange Clan - Oracle belongs to them, they both seek Jade to gain unlimited power
About Lucas' abnormal abilities, he gained them when he was in the womb, his mother was radiated by Chroma, so he was
About the ending... Jade tells the Greatest Secret of the Universe to Lucas' (in ending which I did), but he don't knows what to do with it, tell it to the world? (NOTE! Lucas is immortal, he can't be killed, he can be annihilated only by Purple Clan. Until 38 chapter, everybody thinks Lucas is just insane), but one think is sure, as he was radiated, so was his child with Carla
I did them in a few ways

• By accident - 'Nobody Left Behind'
  
• By being 2 stupid - 'Warning Label' ; 'Breathless' ; 'Butter Fingers' ; 'Can't Take Anymore'
  
• I thought they are needed to story - 'Brotherly Love' ; 'Forgotten Love'
  
• They were made by just progressing - 'Never Gonna Give You Up' ; 'Endless Summer'

• Every fight/important scene is done in QTE, which in my opinion, is good and don't break your immersion
  
• Game can over in many ways - By failing QTE, bad dialog choose, and more...
  
• Many sequences contain time-parts, if you do not do something in time, your Mental Health will decrease, you will die, or something else
  
• Mental Health - Every characters' Mental Health can either decrease or increase depending on situations, when MH is too low, character can go into depression which can lead into suicide which can lead into game over

Gameplay - 9/10 - Perfect Immersion, even though sometimes annoying camera
Audio - 10/10 - Great... Ideal, melancholic in calm fragments, fast and dynamic at action fragments
Graphics - 8/10 - I know it's remaster (I didn't played original game), but it could be better
Story - 10/10 - It made me literally cry at the end and i kept me interested whole game, I experienced such a great story only once in my life, and it was Heavy Rain... until that game... I couldn't find game with story so plotted, so good, and so immersive!
- One of really small amount of games, that I can give 10/10 with clean heart. Everything is great in this game! Starting from story, going through gameplay, on audio ending, if you liked Heavy Rain, you will love that game, but if you never played interactive movie, you must experience it. It's not overrated, it's just that great! I'm sure that I'll play that game once and once again...
Greetings, Wing

After hearing the news that Indigo Prophecy was coming out on PS4 next week for some reason, I decided to boot this up and see how this game aged. Going back to it after all these years wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I loved this game when it first came out, I was one of the apologists who easily overlooked the nosedive the plot takes in the later chapters, but playing it in 2016 was enjoyable for more than just nostalgia. It has aged fairly well. The controls were worse than I remembered and the frequency of the QTEs can get a bit annoying. Also, I didn’t recall this game being so short, I feel like I played this for weeks way back when. However, I think the story was much better this time around, most likely because I knew when things were about to go completely off the rails, so I wasn’t caught off guard like I was 10 years ago. I fully understand why people don’t like Cage’s games, but I just happen to operate on the same wavelength as his crazy brain full of plotholes and terrible twists.

Also worth noting, this release is the “Director’s Cut” which means I finally got to see the polygonal boobs that teenage me desperately wanted to see a decade ago when this first came out.

Not quite sure what to make of this game. Very engaging story until about 75% in, then it completely lost me. Went from a compelling murder mystery to...well, I won't spoil it for you. But I wasn't a huge fan.

The controls are awful. Absolutely horrendous. Extremely frustrating to move your character around, and there are many sequences where you need to move your character QUICKLY and PRECISELY in a timed environment. This can be...infuriating. You'll definitely want a gamepad or controller for this one, but even so, it'll still suck.

All that being said, I still enjoyed playing through this game, and would recommend it to those who enjoy story-driven games with choice/consequence. Would have liked for the plot to play out better. And, there are 3 separate endings, but these are pretty much only determined by the last couple of sequences in the game. Which is hilariously stupid. So don't fret too much about your choices throughout the course of the game; they may alter gameplay slightly, but won't ruin your game/ending.

Oh, and yes, of course. How could I forget? The graphics are astoundingly terrible. But it doesn't detract too much from gameplay. Definitely had to throw that in, though!

I loved this game, back in the day. I've bought the remastered version simply because i was no longer able to instal a working version of the original on modern OS systems. I'm yet to play this version, but from what I can see little has been changed in terms of game play. There are a few narritve 'WTF!?' moments especially towards the end of the game. I doubt that it's aged as well as the glittering memory of it in my mind. It is, however, a solid expierence if you like a good interative movie type game - but one I would probably only reccomend picking up in the sale (as much as I love it)

Controls do not function on Windows 10.

Plot starts very interesting and becomes really ridiculous in a bad way past the mid point.

Gameplay is very bad, the curved mouse movements when climbing mainly, I had to retry a certain pipe climbing part 3 times because my movement wasn't being registered, the other minigame covers the entire screen and you are not even paying attention to the events ocurring in the background.

Music is okay, nothing too special except for maybe the ending theme which I let play all the way.

Not talking about the graphics because it doesn't feel fair.

Overall a mediocre game that had so much potential.

The camera controls are quite clunky, almost similar to old school Resident Evil in some levels of this game.
The fight scenes or sequences are a little bit cheesey but would have been bad ♥♥♥ at the time this came out.
This game has a great story to it & is worth playing.
Well worth picking up if on special (:

PS: polygon boobs ;)

As a big Heavy Rain fan, and having also enjoyed Beyond Two Souls partly too, I'd been looking forward to playing this game for awhile. I'd actually bought the game a few years back intending to use it with a HD mod that was being worked on. Well the remaster came out first so I ended up getting that instead.


The remaster offers controller support which I found essential as I failed the opening of the game repeatedly whilst trying to figure out how the keyboard/mouse controls worked, the answer by the way is: they don't.
The original controller mappings aren't much better. At times you're expected to furiously mash left bumper, right bumper alternately to carry out menial tasks in the form of quick time events. These include breathing, climbing a fence, exercising, and many more.
Even worse are the simon says minigame QTEs, prepare to think with all sides of your brain as you play two side by side games of Simon says at the same time using the analogue sticks.
One area where the game should be improved on PC are first person shooting sections, right? Wrong. The mouse isn't mapped to aim, instead you can use the analogue sticks or whatever the default keyboard keys are.

This is the only story focused game on steam that I've retired and the controls have a large hand in that.

Facial textures looks generally decent and sharp when you consider their age, outfits on NPCs can look pretty poor though. The homeless man outside Agatha's House comes to mind. Most background textures look accceptable if a little stretched and blurred. The lighting looks nice if outdated. One thing that puts the remaster above the original is Anti-aliasing - I can't recall seeing jagged edges at all really.

I'll be vague here to avoid spoilers. The game starts out with one of the main characters murdering a man in a bathroom. There are supernatural elements involved and afterwards the character cannot remember how they arrived there, or why they would kill this stranger. After this act you take control and have to help them escape the scene unnoticed. Throughout the rest of the game you'll be trying to uncover the truth abouth this incident, both from their perspective and from other characters who are looking for them.
Initially the story starts off relatively intriguing, however after the opening, the pace slows down immediately while we deal with the emotional toll this event has on our character as well as being introduced to others. Levels in the game can involve mandatory sections such as getting out of bed, getting dressed, eating food, working out, playing a guitar, searching a massive bookstore for a single book etc. etc.
This style of long drawn out gameplay for mostly meaningless tasks is a large drawback for me. I understand the game is supposed to be cinematic, imitating a movie, and in someways tries to be lifelike but this just makes boredom come sooner. All this becomes tedious when you make these tasks mandatory and frustratingly difficult to complete with poor controls.
The game generally maintains a dark atmosphere. In fact, one mechanic has your characters' mood go up and down depending on whether you complete tasks successfully or not and this actually affects your chances of completing other tasks successfully too. However there are some moments of levity, such as Takeo and also some of Tyler's dialogue which actually had me laughing out loud on occasion.


Ultimately the game is old, and it feels it. This is combined with really whacky and difficult game mechanics and a rather slowly unfolding story. Nothing here really grabs you enough to make you think "I cannot wait to get home and continue playing Fahrenheit."
The moment when I decided to retired the game was wheeling Agatha around her house, I'd just fed her birds and now had to fetch matches and some other random stuff. I stopped and thought to myself "Why am I even playing this game. I don't care about the characters, or the gameplay or even the story really." So I just quit, and immediately uninstalled the game. I would not waste your money, or your time.

Thanks for reading. (my first steam review)

Amazing original story, can be considered as horror game as it has jump-scares too.

Gameplay is original and can be said The PC version of Uncharted or Beyond two souls.Well the father of them to be correct.

Enjoyed it and wished there was more of this as a serie.
