Has anyone played this? Obviously the guys of TP have because of their video "Misogynistic Boxing!" but I was wondering if any of you have played it as well.

Way back in 2005 I picked it up with intrigue when it was still on the shelf. The cover was interesting to look at, and the description of a man turned killer with amnesia also sounded interesting so I picked it up for the PC.

What followed was one of my favorite game experiences until it turned into
Spoiler! :
LOL ALIENS DID IT
but oh well, at least it was good practice for Heavy Rain.

I didn't know what the hell to do first time I played it, so I tried for ten minutes, got caught in the diner, then put it back on the shelf for months.

However, I replayed a while back, and honestly I quite enjoyed it, sure the story went crazy towards the end but are you forgetting

Spoiler! :
amazing matrix snow chases and fights!


If you played the Europe reincarnation of the game, Fahrenheit, it was fully uncensored and the game includes a really weird and awkward bedroom scene - with quick time events, I kid you not... -

The story reminded me of Condemned 2 in its execution, interesting story of intrigue and fear and then

Spoiler! :
Trololol there's a higher force at work involving cults and your power is over 9000!


Then again, maybe I'm just agreeing with Yahtzee's review of Condemned 2... Convoluted story or not, I still really enjoyed playing the game and it was fun and pretty exciting. Innovative and intriguing game turned into dumb fun towards the end. :)

I remember trying to play it but my PC decided to glitch out and not load walls and stuff.


I will probably try to play it again later.

I have finished it. I only got to play Fahrenheit, the PAL version that is.

And yes, I did play the QTE sex scene on the bed. Whenever you got it right, the girl would ... You know, the scream of joy.

Weirdest moment in the game, I got to admit.

ohohohoh I bought this game a while ago because Angelo Badalamenti did the soundtrack and I LOVE his music so much ;___; I've not played it yet, though. One day.

One daaaaay

I played it in 2005, but I haven't played it since

I played Heavy Rain too and the irony of that game was the story left out too much information whereas Indigo Prophecy had too much

Haha yeah I still wonder what the killer's motives were.

I remember on my first playthrough I figured out who the killer was with the detective Norman Jayden but the second time I couldn't figure it out to save my life and eventually gave up on it. Needless to say I got a really bittersweet ending the second time around.

I originally had that on PS2, it being called Farenheit in the PAL regions. I adored that game, though the main memory I have of it is regarding somthing that didn't happen IN the game. A friend of mine named Terry was at my house and we were taking turns playing it. We were in the military base hide & seek flash back, running out of time and have as of yet not found all of the kids. As the last seconds counted up a massive bloody pigeion crashed into the window and scared the living @#$% out of us both.

I actually played this game not too long ago. I bought it sometime last year, but never finished it. I got so turned off by the Lucas/Carla(? I can't remember her name right now) sex scene. Overall, I thought it was okay, I'd probably play it again. Such a pain to play, though. Quicktime Events the Game.
