The project came out at a time when such blatant and depressingly melancholic games were rare or dwelled in the realm of quests and less expensive adventures. The studio, which would go on to supply Sony with the best exclusive interactive cinema, made a very bold debut in the form of Fahrenheit.
Some game features
QTE - not for beginners
The game features a thoughtful, deep, and non-linear story full of drama, violence, and even adult scenes. At the same time, the project does not slip into trash and epatage for epatage's sake - everything is in its place and does not seem played up. Fahrenheit is a really adult game that raises extremely serious topics, and its "adulthood" has nothing to do with forbidden content.
The modern player can be stopped by the graphics, which were not strongly corrected by the remaster for PC, as well as the control, which is completely rebuild for modern realities was very difficult - that is why this task was left. Those players who can forgive the game these features of venerable age (the original project is almost two decades old), will discover its unique story structure and dark, addictive atmosphere.
The benefits of the game:
If you don't like this type of games - interactive movies with plot-driven gameplay - you won't be surprised by Fahrenheit. But if your case is the opposite, you should not miss this project. The game has great value in terms of the development of the interactive film genre, as well as being a quality, adult work in its own right.
Like most games in the genre, Fahrenheit can be called a one-off game - you can only get the most powerful experience from it once. In spite of this, the project has a high potential of replayability - during the next playthroughs you can get more details and, probably, change your opinion about the gaming situations cardinally.
