A very unique game experience.
From the makers Omikron: The Nomad Soul, one of my favorite games ever, come this truly unique and actually quite breathtaking game. With a unique gameplay design, strong music and sound, and one of the most memorable storylines I've ever seen in a game, The Indigo Prophecy is a game you must experience.
You control three main characters: Lucas Kane, a man who struggles with strange premonitions and trances that eventually force him to murder a complete stranger. Carla Valenti, the police detective assigned to the murder case Kane commited. And Tyler Miles, Carla's goofy and obnoxious partner, who dosen't really help out too much with the case. Controlling both sides of the crime is a very interesting twist to the game, as when your Lucas, your mostly trying to hide from the cops and cover up evidence of the murder, but when your Carla or Tyler, your trying to find the evidence, and discover who commited the crime.
The entire gameplay is based around choice. Your able to make most of your own decisions throughout the game and they can have a good or bad impact, depending on how well you make decisions. Something like forgetting to wash the blood off of your hands can have a huge impact on the storyline and gameplay, and can even result in a game over. The choices you make thoughtout the game can also result in four different endings. Another key element to the gameplay is a Mental Status Meter, which can dramaticly change based on decisions you make. If the meter drops too low, its game over.
Another notable gameplay aspect is the action sequences, in which your character moves on his own and you assist him by moving your analog sticks in the direction it tells you to. It may not sound very interesting, but it is actually very challenging and a lot of fun. Its another unique part of the gameplay that makes Indigo Prophecy such a rewarding game.
With the graphics, sound, and voice acting top-notch, the only real issue of the game is the 3rd Person Camera, which can make it very difficult moving your character in a straight line sometimes, but its overshadowed by all the other strong elements in the game.
The Indigo Prophecy is a very unique game experience and few games are like it. Although its not for everyone, every gamer should at least give it a try. Even if they don't enjoy the gameplay, the storyline alone should stick with them long after the game has ended.
