Indigo Prophecy

Hi guys... I don't post in here ever.. but I did a search for this game in the sites search function and found nothing on it.. forgive me if there is a thread about this game already.

I'm stuck at a part of the game that I need help getting past.
If anyone has played it and can help me that would be great.
There is this character named Carla and she is claustrophobic, I'm at the part where she needs to get out of the insane hospital but I can't get out. She keeps dying cause I can't seem to keep her breathing through her fear at the same time as walking fast enough to get out before the insane people come to kill her.

What do I do? Is there anyway I can get past this without having to beat it?
God this game sucks sometimes.

Try doing a search at gamefaqs.com. Chances are if someone's written a strategy for it it will be there.

You can find various walkthroughs here ->
++http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin ... 26558.html

I think this is the bit you meant :

As soon as you regain control of
Carla, you'll see two messages: "Walk!" and "Breathe!". Remember the scene
in the basement of the police station? good news, you can do the whole
breathing-sequence again! Start by walking straight ahead, keeping your
breath meter in the middle by pressing left and right.

As you exit the first corridor, a madman will walk past you. Stop
walking and breathing, until Carla says it's safe. Now turn left (by holding
down the right mouse button), and follow this corridor. After some ten meter,
another crazy will walk right past you, so once again, stand still and stop
breathing. Almost there! Walk straight ahead. When the light comes back on,
run straight ahead, to the door, where Barney will save you.

Yeah right, like I can do that! I can barely figure out wich direction I need to walk in. Thanks Bounty, I'll give it a try anyway.

My problem is that I can't walk and breathe at the same time due to the placement of the keys, should I stand still.. I can't seem to go anywhere or tell where I am going in such darkness.. Oh well. I guess I'll check that site for furthur info. Thanks again Bounty

Gamefaqs doesn't like hotlinking to their stuff, fyi. . .

It's a link to their menu, not the faq itself. Or do they dislike that too ?

About moving/breathing simultaneously :

You can move forward, and change
your direction by holding down the right mouse button.

Does that help ?

See, all throughout the game until this point I've been using the keys to move and not the mouse so I thought to move you needed to hold down both the right and left mouse keys to walk.. silly me.. I'll try just using the right mouse button this time

Thanks

I've decided to go through the game again since I messed it up right from the beginning. I couldn't seem to walk out of the bathroom all calm at the beginning so I left out the backdoor after smashing into the waitress and made a huge scene which I thought was normal since it didn't matter what I tried. By the time I cleaned the mess and myself the cop was coming into the bathroom so I gave up and didn't bother to move the body or clean or anything, now that I know that I'll go by the walkthrough and try it all over again, hopefully this will help to make the game last longer in that they won't find as much evidence linking to me as they did with my prints and everything on my stuff at my table.

Edit: as for the subject of posting things from the walkthrough on here, it sais so on the first page of what I printed out for my reference

But, it said they don't like it, not that you'll be punished if you do do it, so some guy will be mad at ya, big deal

I played all three endings and won the game, got all the credits at the end and everything.

Thanks to that walkthrough

Thanks guys for helping me out.

Turns out the problem was that I thought I needed to press only the arrow that would bring the breathing meter to the middle, but no you have to alternate between the arrows. Once I figured that out (by reading through the walkthrough and testing it out) I got through the game with no problems. I actually started the whole game over again. It's a very short game.
Not like Vampire-The Masquerade that I played in more than two weeks.

Yes Indigo was a good game, or at least started good for a simon say's based video game. Up until you find the kid anyway. Then the story goes from murder mystery with nutty overtones to just... INSANE stupid! I mean, the "other" clan you meet after you escape.. I mean come the freak on!

But anyway... it was a decent if not replayable game.

I found it to be a fun game that could have been a lot better if it had been longer in order to give certain plot points more time to develop.

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2006-06-13 07:17pm

I agree with both of you.

The game was good until the point where it seems the writer took some acid and decided to throw in every single cliche he could think of.

YES that is a perfect description for this game's storyline.

The guy who made the game is a hack. I've resolved never to purchase a product that he's involved in ever again.

It would have been bad enough if the story had been ludicrious from the get-go, but the first few hours are so incredibly well-done that only someone who doesn't truly care about his work would let it go like that.

I did notice it changing for the worse like you say about halfway through as well.
But I was stuck/drawn to it, I needed to know what happened in the end, I needed to finish the game no matter how silly it was getting.
I have a problem (maybe it's not such a bad problem) with finishing what I started and that applies to everything in my life

Anyway, I do agree he did throw in lots of silly stuff.

DPDP Can you enlighten me into what you're talking about? I was considering buying the next game to see how that one is. You know Farenheight 2. Should I stay away from it. What do you mean by "he's a hack" Just a lazy guy? Did he do something stupid that i should know about?

I think I'm reading too much into your post

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2006-06-14 09:28am

Uhm... there is no sequel to Indigo Prophecy.

It wasn't called "Farenheit" here in the US because there were already a older series of games with the same name- so the Farenheit 2 you're talking about has nothing to do with the game you finished.

I'm calling him a hack because of how the second half of Indigo Prophecy just starts spiralling downward into greater and greater depths of cliche storytelling and plotholes.

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2006-06-14 11:13am

Oh ok, I see.. I visited the official forums to try and get the answers before I posted here and that is where I read about Farenheight 2 and thought they meant there was gonna be a second Indigo Prophecy.. my mistake.

I understand now, so I did read too much into your post, I thought you knew something I didn't about the creator.
