Only good part of Indigo Prophecy is the racist Chinaman caricature who looks like Lo Pan turning out to just be a guy from boston who pretends to be a racist Chinaman caricature so his book store gets more customers.
anyone got that video with the dad from heavy rain driving into oncoming traffic with daytona USA blasting in the background?
Anticlimactic murder mysteries were kind of a staple of early David Cage games.
Omikron starts with a cop asking you, the player, to help him investigate the death of his partner, but then it turns out that literally everything that happens in the first part of the game is a trap set up by demons that want to eat your soul, and once you find that out everything you were doing up to that point is just kind of dropped.
Indigo Prophecy starts with Lucas getting possessed in a bathroom stall in what looks like a satanic ritual and sent to murder the only other guy in the room, and for a while you have both him and the two cops investigating what happened until you find out that Lucas and the victim were chosen completely at random for some Mayan ritual that that the Mayans aren't even doing anymore, and from there both Lucas and eventually even the cops forget about the murder and just start trying to fuck with the Mayan's plans.
And Heavy Rain, while far less anticlimactic than the first two examples, still deserves mention for the fact that the game has to lie to you in order to keep the identity of the killer hidden. Also his motives don't really fit his trials.
I gave the demo a shot, and it was relatively entertaining. Choices do seem to matter somewhat based upon how you play. And the section did not feel extremely contrived. All in all, it was pretty fun for about 45 minutes of gameplay.
There is also a flowchart that shows the choices you make which is pretty cool.
