I must have this game. The demo, as short as it was, still included more gameplay possibilities than some entire games can ever hope to provide. The fact that it was only one scene and the final game is going to consist of forty something makes me think this game could be a small revolution. Unfortunately, it will most likely pass by the gaming masses unnoticed.

Just saw the trailer and opening scene.... looks fantastic, a real improvement (computer game wise) in story telling.

I had not heard about this game before, but with sTubbs' comment above, and watching the trailers, i'm very much looking forward to it being released :)

Triprotic, download the demo, it's pretty impressive if you're an adventure game fan. Don't know whether to ask for this or Ultimate Spider-man for my birthday :P

Triprotic if you find Omikron for the PC BUY IT NOW.
trust me, it's by the same company and it's great. Extra points if your a David Bowe fan.

aha.... Omikron - The Nomad Soul..... i remember when that came out, but I can't remember why i skipped it, might have to try and find a copy of it at my local computer game store.

Just finished playing the demo, and I was very impressed, if the game works they way i'm expecting it to (every action affecting how the story plays out) then it will be the game i've been waiting for for ages.

I;m a big fan of the old point and click games, but i was always dissapointed by the lack of plot splitting (indy 4 was probally the closest to plot splitting), this game should rock! might have to get it for the xbox instead of the PC though, the controls were a bit clunky....

Omikron - The Nomad Soul is one of the greatest game EVER... hope Indigo Prophecy is like that...:D great history, gameplay and music.

The controls were probably the worst part of the demo, but every other part, just the sense of immersion and the whole actions and consequences thinking was just plain eeexcelllent.

Fun Fact: The game is actually called Fahrenheit, but because Atari feared Americans would be stupid enough to assume it was based on the Michael Moore movie they changed it to Indigo Prophecy. It still goes by the original name here in Euro-land.

I actually prefer Indigo Prophecy as a name but I'm glad we are at least being treated like we have an IQ point or two to rub together.

There was a time when "Fahrenheit" meant "Fahrenheit 451". One of the reasons why Ray Bradbury hates Michael Moore :).

I prefer the name "Fahrenheit" for the game.
