Video Gaming News - September 2005
New York, NY (September 7, 2005) - Atari today announced that Indigo
Prophecy has gone gold and development is complete.
“Indigo Prophecy blurs the lines between video games and cinema and introduces a
completely engrossing experience not yet offered by other games,” said Marc
Metis, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Atari, Inc. “Indigo Prophecy’s
riveting storyline and innovative cause-and-effect gameplay should make it one
of the sleeper hits of the year.”
From Atari:
Known as Fahrenheit in Europe, Indigo Prophecy tells the story of a man whose
destiny is irrevocably altered when he unwillingly commits a brutal murder.
Through the use of branching storylines and multiple character perspectives,
players embark on an immersive adventure on par with a Hollywood thriller.
Indigo Prophecy is developed by Quantic Dream, and will be available for the
PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and PCs in Europe on September 16 and in North America
on September 20.
In Indigo Prophecy, New York City is stunned by a series of mysterious murders,
all following the same pattern: ordinary people are killing absolute strangers
in public areas. Lucas Kane becomes another one of these murderers when he
suddenly kills a stranger in a men’s bathroom. Covered in blood, Lucas regains
consciousness with no recollection as to why he committed murder. Hunted by
police, Lucas must uncover the supernatural forces behind his crime before being
incarcerated for life.
By encouraging players to assume the role of multiple characters and experience
the game from multiple viewpoints, Indigo Prophecy allows players’ actions to
affect the plot by offering a scenario driven interactive experience – each and
every decision made by the player will impact how the in-game story unfolds.
Through motion picture techniques such as actor direction, multi-camera views,
motion tracking and a contextual music score, players find themselves intimately
immersed in the game.
Developed by Quantic Dream and written by David Cage, Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit
is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and will be available in Europe on September
16 and in North America on September 20. For more information on the game,
