Atari has
announced that "Indigo Prophecy" (aka Fahrenheit in Europe) has been shipped and will be available in retail stores beginning tomorrow.
"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."
