Indigo Prophecy

i find it hilarious that this game is a giant love letter to american action movies, and gets censored in america. yes, it's got boobs and sex, surely he didn't pick that up from the american movies he designed the game after! also: necrophilia lol

Isn't the upcoming PS3 game Heavy Rain a spiritual sequal to this game?

Isn't the upcoming PS3 game Heavy Rain a spiritual sequal to this game?

That's what I've read - if it's true then I'll have to get a PS3.

So, I played Indigo Prophecy for about 6 hours today. The story's absolutely fantastic. I just reached the part where [spoiler]Carla meets Lucas in his office and he's freaking out because bugs are dropping on him.[/spoiler]. HOWEVER, I hate the action-button pressing sequences. I'd rather have it be an adventure-only game and forget this action button crap. Also, the camera and controls make baby-Jesus cry.

Question: if I wanted to play the non-censored version, would it make more sense to get the European or Japanese version? Does the JP version have english subtitles/dialogue? I imagine it would be quite difficult to play the Euro version on my NTSC television.

Wait until you get a little further, Ron. The games action scenes later on in the game are far better than the earlier ones. It's like .

I've finished the game twice, but just like Sniderman said, the game itself takes a huge drop later in the game. It's really unfortunate since early in the game you're given a ton of attention to detail, with stuff like how you can raise your meter by doing different things in pretty much every area, to later on where you can't hardly at all.

The segment in the office is probably my favorite part.

He hid the paper and the book. I found the paper but couldnt find the book before he came back from the bathroom. Am I screwed?

I just got Fahrenheit off of eBay too. (If you really want to see that sex scene, it is quietly buried in a Youtube walkthrough, last time I checked.) IP is also on Steam these days.

your not technically screwed... Due to what I said previously, Based on how you answer questions, find "things",etc each have a different ending to the game. I think there are like 3 different endings.

Also if Heavy Rain a spiritual sequel to this game, this means to me a MUST buy..
Then again if it is not based on what I am reading it looks like a bad-ass game.

Is there any way I can replay this section? It really bugs me that I wasn't able to find that book. I haven't played any further in the game, but if I load my save I'm at the select screen for the next scene. If I select that scene in the chapters menu will it allow me to try again?

[Hitman Tyler]

Yes you can re-play it, but I don't think this will change the ending again, from what originally suppose to have. Then again I might be wrong about this.
If you want just re-play the game from the Beginning again, sounds dumb but it's worth it.


WARNING:
There is more of this to come (finding things). So don't mess up anymore.

[c0ldb33r]

I checked an endings FAQ on gamefaqs. I didn't read the endings themselves, but instead searched for the terms "book" and "Shakespeare" and nothing came up. Are you sure that missing the book has any effect on which ending I get?

[Hitman Tyler]

To be quite honest I don't know. But based on when I bought the game, I read and what attracted me to the game was: how you answer,act,etc will reflect how the game ends.
So with that said I have no clue if it will effect it.
If you really want to know where the book is.... Just let me know I will tell u where it is.

[Garry Silljo]

The conversations and finding things only have bearing on your sanity meter which you need to reach the end. The only thing that really changes the end is who you allow to win the final battle. Either you beat the other guys or one of them wins. That's the only thing that changes the endings.

[c0ldb33r]

Awesome. Thanks guys.

As for the book, I was searching his desk and boxes around his desk. It never triggered an action to pick it up. It clearly indicated when I found the paper as it said to push right or left or whatever to interact with it. No suck luck with the book.

[2Dskillz]

Just to assure you, missing the book will not hurt anything. If you are waiting on Quantic Dreams next project Heavy Rain, I would suggest taking a little time with Omikron: The Nomad Soul. In each game Quantic has released you can see a real effort to advance what gaming means and while everything they try does not always work, you can be assured that you will experience something unique.

I finished the game tonight.

[spoilers]
What the hell? What is that AI shit? That came out of nowhere. I seriously don't understand it. The oracle aspect I kind of followed but not really. The AI part is total bullshit nonsense.

I got the best ending - the one where Lucas gets the secret. He doesn' tell us what the secret is?!? We don't know what (if anything) he does with it? uggh... weak.

Did I miss anything or is this all there is.

[MachineGex]

I bought this game because of all the positive responses from this thread. I will be starting the game tonight. Anyone who needs this game, shoot me a pm. I got a great deal and have a few sealed xbox copies left(cheap).

[spoiler]
His secret is that He is an Indigo child & Carla and him are having a baby that is the next Indigo Child. I believed he said this in the game,unless I got a different ending.

I think the first half of the game was amazing but the story got really weird and left me saying "WTF" at the ending. Its still a great game though and I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain.
