ghostdriveIn case you'd rather skip my most likely rambling review, here's the short of it: Indigo Prophecy is a supernatural thriller that goes from great to good by the time all is said and done. Play it for its unique game play, just don't expect the ending to leave you completely satisfied.
My name is Lucas Kane, and I am a murderer.
Indigo Prophecy begins in the men's restroom of a New York City diner where you, as Lucas Kane, suddenly and brutally murder a complete stranger in what appears to be a possessed trance. Fleeing the scene in confusion you now have to uncover the truth as to what really happened, who's behind it, and what these strange visions you've been burdened with mean.
It turns out this isn't the first time a murder like this has happened. This ritualistic pattern of ordinary people killing strangers has stunned the city for some time now. As you delve deeper into it, who knows why sort of dark forces lie in wait.My summaries are laaaaaame~
[Pros]
+Not only does Indigo Prophecy allow you to play as Lucas, you also get to control the two detectives on the case, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles, along with a fourth character who shall remain nameless due to their vital role in the story. Being both the hunter and the hunted gives the game a nice twist.
+Interactions with people and items affect both the storyline and the character's mental health meter. For example, eating will add points to your meter, while, say, listening to a cop's message on an answering machine will cause a negative affect. If your meter depletes completely, get ready for your character to do something drastic, like commit suicide.
+The time-based event triggers. Nothing gets your anxiety rolling like trying to figure out how to hide a dead body before a cop walks in.
+Action control sequences (similar to the Quick Time Event sequences in Shenmue) that utilize either the analog sticks or the L1 and R1 buttons. A very engaging feature, but be ready for some feats of finger endurance.
+Relatively short game; I finished it in 6-7 hours. Some people complain about short games, but, considering how many 50+ hour games I have, I can appreciate them.
[Cons]
-Camera sometimes locks into place.
-NEEDS MOAR TYLER. Ahem. Yeah, considering how he's one of the main characters, the decision to leave him out in later portions of the game seems like a waste.
-Storyline gets pretty ridiculous near the end. Ancient Mayan rituals? An autistic girl who holds the secret to the meaning of life? Orange Clan? Purple Clan? WTF. Had they left it as a plain "hey-that-serial-killer-can-possess-you" kind of storyline I would have liked it better than the Apocalyptic nonsense it turned into.
But my biggest complaint has to be Carla suddenly falling in love with Lucas at the end. She's spent a majority of the game trying to arrest him for a murder and then she, just as the world's ending, she's all 'I love you, Lucas' and they proceed to have sex in an abandoned subway when its-67 °F fucking cold outside. I know that dire situations make people's libidos go, but its just ridiculous to me. And oh, Lucas is dead at this point people! How can he get her pregnant?! UGH. SO LAME.
[Misc.]
!Too bad the interactive sex scene was removed from the North American version of the game. I think it would have been hilarious to play through.
...If you managed to read through all of that, I applaud you.
