The following pertains to the Windows version:

"...Indigo Prophecy is the game that finally, seamlessly meshes both action and adventure, both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned puzzle solving...it is possible that Indigo Prophecy could be the spark that reinvents and rejuvenates the adventure genre much as Doom did for first-person-shooters.

"Keep in mind that although Indigo Prophecy is not a perfect game, it is still the best and most innovative adventure game since the 2000 release of The Longest Journey and will, without a doubt, be included in many year-end top 10 lists.

"The voice acting is excellent as is the film-quality soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks etc.) and music tracks by Canadian band Theory of a Deadman (Spider-Man soundtrack). The main menu has a plethora of nifty special features – concept art, Making of Material, movies, etc. - that can be accessed by spending Tarot cards found during gameplay.

"Indigo Prophecy is an immersive, cinematic experience that succeeds due to an excellent script, believable characters and the impudence to go where no adventure game has gone before (btw, I do fervently hope that the powers-to-be at Quantic Dreams are smart enough to ignore the moronic – and that’s not the word I really want to use - advice of the console community, such as PSM Magazine, who wrote that Indigo Prophecy would be a better game if it had “less talk and more action.” Stupid, stupid twitch jockeys.)

"No game is perfect, but Indigo Prophecy will be the standard bearer for a future generation of adventure games and would be a great candidate for a feature film. It deserves to be played, scrutinized and devoured by all gamers – action and adventure, casual and hardcore alike."
