Fahrenheit (2005 video game): Difference between revisions

Lucas [[Name of Cain|Kane]] is an ordinary [[New York City]] [[Geek|IT administrator]] until he murders a total stranger in a possessed trance and flees the crime scene. From there on, he becomes a fugitive from the law, relentlessly chased by police officers Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles. But those two become the least of his concerns when he unexpectedly gains [[Stock Super Powers|superpowers]] and becomes the target of an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] that initially manipulated him into committing murder in the first place... And that all happens on the backdrop of global ''cooling'' [[Apocalypse How|around ten degrees Celsius every day]].

 

 

Met by universal critical acclaim and good sales, ''Fahrenheit'' began as one of the best story-driven games of recent years and was occasionally touted as a game to revive the flagging adventure genre. Unfortunately, many players were disappointed with the final third of its story -- allegedly the product of rushed development driven by [[Executive Meddling]] -- which quickly balloons into an extreme [[Gainax Ending]], without even the courtesy of foreshadowing, and is remembered mostly for its incoherence.
