- When was the last time you actually played a game where you cared about what happened to the characters, where you actually wanted to find out what happens next? If you're sick of generic shooters and reflex based games where high scores and headshots rule supreme, you'll definitely find solace in Quantic Dream's Indigo Prophecy. If you have a favorite chair or comfortable couch, this is the perfect game to sit down and play while wrapped in a gigantic, fluffy blanket and sipping hot cocoa with mini-marshmallows.

Right off the bat, you'll discover Indigo Prophecy to be a dark, brooding experience, as the opening sequence is definitely disturbing. Set in snow-covered New York City, the game continues to get darker as you progress and more sinister facts are revealed. Perhaps the most telling feature of how grim the game can get is the character mood gauge, which, when completely full, says your character is in a "neutral" state, whereas at empty your character is "wrecked." In between are varying shades of depression. Despite the sometimes dismal, gripping nature of the storyline and atmosphere, it still remains an entirely engaging experience.

It's very apparent that the team at Quantic Dream really cared about making this game when I played through the introductory tutorial. Here, you're given a brief introduction into the game's action mechanics and general interface by a virtual representation of the game's writer and director, David Cage. You'll control a dummy model and perform a series of actions as you move around a mock movie stage. This stage setting is representative of the cinematic nature of the entire game; from the intricate, slow-motion action sequences to the picture-in-picture and split screen instances that advances the plot and conveys simultaneous action.
