Guilt is a chilling feeling… Originally released in 2005, Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America) was a breakthrough in interactive narrative, teetering between the worlds of cinema and gaming while also embracing them, carving its own unique genre in the entertainment landscape. This newly remastered edition features updated graphics, full controller support AND is based on the uncut/uncensored international version of the game.
With a rich multilayered narrative, innovative presentation, and a chilling musical score by famed Hollywood composer Angelo Badalementi, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered serves as the definitive version of the supernatural murder mystery and (re)introduces the groundbreaking title to old and new fans alike.

If you’ve never heard of this game, it laid the foundation for developer Quantic Dream’s prowess in Adventure Games.
Does Quantic Dream sound familiar?
It should, because they would go on to create Sony’s award-winning PlayStation 3 Adventure Game “Heavy Rain“, and the more recent Beyond: Two Souls.
They are currently working on an unnamed PlayStation 4 project that will probably get announced at E3 2015.
As such, it is very, very cool to see this title finally get a remastered version! I never played the original, but I remember eyeing it all the time for the Original Xbox while browsing stores; and considered picking it up on many occasions. I’ll definitely be giving this Remastered version a shot!
