Gamasutra - Postmortem: Indigo Prophecy

Published in edited form in the June/July issue of sister magazine Game Developer, Gamasutra is proud to present the full, extended postmortem for Quantic Dream's fascinating console title Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit, as described by creator David Cage.

Probably my favorite postmortem, this look back at 2005’s Indigo Prophecy has a lot of valuable insights. The one that’s stuck with me the most is that when writing a story, you can make the audience believe anything - but only once. An impossible premise is not a problem, but adding more impossibilities later is likely to backfire.
