Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.

…or as we Americans know it better, Indigo Prophecy. They renamed the U.S. version for some reason when they removed the naughty bits. I’ve played through the somewhat more indecent Euro version, and the only differences are a sex minigame which is easily missed if you play a specific conversation wrong, and a sex cutscene near the game’s end, which is easily tame enough to show in a typical rated-R movie. Funny how things like that are fine in movies but taboo in video games.

Fahrenheit moves the whole adventure game genre out of the box by including quicktime events, timed sequences, stealth gameplay, and minigames. They also do a really good job of building suspense using split-screen multicamera. As much as the endgame plot stunk, I really love this game.
