Video Gaming News - September 2005
New York, NY (September 20, 2005) - Atari today announced that Indigo
Prophecy has shipped to retailers nationwide.
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.
Developed by Quantic Dream, Indigo Prophecy is available for the PlayStation 2
computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft and personal computers running the Windows operating system.
“Indigo Prophecy has already received high accolades from the gaming community
and we are extremely excited to share this cinematic thriller with the world,”
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 surprise hits of the year.”
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 dark 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 was available in Europe on September 16
and will be available in North America after September 20 on the PlayStation 2,
Xbox and Windows for a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information on
