It's the Nicholas Cage of games – it gets crazy and nonsensical at some parts, but overall it's one of the most ambitious and creative games I've ever played.
The opening 20 minutes of gameplay is some of the most engrossing and interesting game mechanics I've ever played in the last 4 decades of gaming.

lol no
I remember playing it. It was quite intense, and the soundtrack was amazing.
84 on metacritic is underrating it?
I remember playing this gem. It was hard to put it down until I beat it.
No it’s not.
I enjoyed it
Id say its actually one of the few “rated” games
I don’t know that it’s underrated. I think it’s just kinda niche?
I’ve talked to a lot of people who had never heard of it.
It was a surprise to me. I hadn’t played Omikron and so I didn’t understand the David Cage style of game design. Loved this game, loved Heavy Rain, fell off everything after that.
trash game
Amazing beginning, but the last part of the game is a huge WTF.
I mean it *starts* great but jumps the shark when you DBZ fight a homeless man on a rooftop.
It’s certainly unique, but it’s also absolutely ridiculous. I don’t think I got past the dude doing Matrix flips off the walls in the chapel trying to dodge the random flying ghost apparitions.
The first 20 minutes, yes.
Is this the one with David Bowie?
The ending of this game is stupid as hell
“Game I ignored or didnt know about is so underated!”
No. Not it isnt. Its pretty well known to be a god damn banger.
Its not underrated though? It literally has a sequel? And people dont stop talking about this one on gaming subs everywhere?
dude that game was a roller coaster like some of the stuff that happens just left me confused and surprised. Recommend playing it at least once
The ending was such a strange esoteric mess.
The first part, sure, easily the best thing quantic dream has ever done themselves (don’t consider the Connor and Hank stuff from Detroit to be Quantic, as the actors themselves improvised a lot.)
The rest of the game though…… yea no. This game still has the biggest “jumping the shark” moment out of any game ever, all while taking itself 100% seriously.
Is this the one when you get psychic powers?
Good as a movie, bad as a Simon memory game.
no its not its david cage. his games while being well “special” always have a damm fuckong large marketing budget.
I can’t remember much about this other than the pacing being really off as this dude became like, some kind of mighty, powerful God.
Oh, also I remember something about deep strokes.
Its 100% absolutely not an underrated game. Its rated quite highly on almost every psychological horror game tier list
Kids these days
She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I wouldn’t notice
This game introduced me to Theory of a Deadman
I had a blast playing it
Wow a David Cage game with a garbage nonsensical plot and everyone acts like they’ve had a stroke, Add it to every other game he’s created
This game is so wild. The first half is a legitimately compelling mystery game and the back half completely loses its damn mind.
No. No it’s really not.
You become a keanu reeves in that game
I played this a decade ago and honestly, it was such a great experience. There’s something about it that sticks with you, definitely feels worth revisiting someday.
Indigo Prophecy, underrated? What age and from what cave did you came from?
A quick google would disprove that claim quickly.
This shit started my drug-like love affair with David Cage games in my formative years. For better and worse. I was enthralled with every moment of this batshit narrative.
One of the best beginnings. I played that demo so many times.
David Cage makes stupid games, like absolutely dumb stupid and I bet he could make some Kojima level crazy shit but he decides to make bad games instead.
It’s properly rated. Almost everyone who played it will agree that the beginning was amazing with the game jumping the shark more and more until we reach that mess of an ending.
To me it’s not underrated but rather one of the best games of those years.
If only theory of a dead man aged as well as this game did .
The end of this game was absolutely BONKERS
That first quest or whatever when I thought “omg they actually made a good CSI-like game, that’s like all I’ve ever wanted” then when you fight “something” in (your?) apartament I thought “okey that’s weird” then it got way weirder and I uninstalled and never touched it again and never will.
The first 20 minutes is neat. It then falls of a cliff very quickly and gets somehow worse as it goes on. Getting attacked by furniture is pretty funny.
I do feel every game became hyper reliant on QTEs the generation after this, but always felt like this title really showed how that is a detriment.
Some parts are 10/10 but some parts are literally the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen in a game.
