When all is said and done, Indigo Prophecy is the kind of game that will inspire lots of conversation among those who play it. And it won't necessarily take place because of any particularly insidious subtext or brilliant revelations, but just because (like any movie worth its salt) the game leaves a lasting impression. Sure, it's got the underpinnings of a typical adventure game, but the way in which it weaves its inspired gameplay mechanics into the fabric of its tale is really something. Not everyone is going to love the way in which this game plays, but anybody with a love for good storytelling and the adventure genre will find Indigo Prophecy to be an original and enlightening experience.

Good. We need more adventure games.

Every time I see a game like this succeed it makes me feel good. It's something very different, and it's good to see it get good scores. Now if only the industry would support it with good sales...

Odd that gamestop says the PC version is backordered
proof in the puddin', pudding
and eb says the same for the xbox version: http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/deptpage.asp?wherefrom=search&searchword=indigo

I'm hoping this means there where massive preorders and Roberta Williams has awakened from her dark, hot tub induced sleep...

I dunno, it still seems like a rental to me. Am i wrong? I think gamefly can do me good here.

Well, I completed it in under 6 hours. The last 1/3rd of the game is pretty piss poor, so I'd defintely recommend a rental.

Thats what i was thinking, thanks. It has been added to my new queue at gamefly.

I've only completed it the once, in around 7 hours. I've yet to replay to try for multiple endings and to see how the various choices alter things. It seems towards the end that the smaller choices dissapear but larger choices take their place. So playtime may increase on replay but we'll see.

I'm a little confused on the whole chapter select thing though. It gives 3 options, continue without saving, new login or current login. The current login option seems to be the new game+ option but has a poorly explained warning about saves being erased. Does that mean that all the bonuses will be erased? The chapters that follow after that chapter?
