The reason this game goes so off the rails is because at one point, Cage wanted this to be the first part of a seven game series. When he was told that he couldn't get his way because getting _one_ sequel isn't guaranteed, let alone six, Cage got mad and apparently stuffed six games' worth of plot into the back half of the game. I'm getting this info from a comment on the _Ross's Game Dungeon_ video on this...thing, so take it with some salt.
Don't forget that the game changed the publisher in the middle of the development from Vivendi to Atari... and you can see that too, especially in the american (censored) version.
I actually heard a different story. The version I heard was that this game was going to have wildly different tone and theme depending on the choices the player made but it got cut down massively in development because holy shit that would have been impossible.
I think my favorite past of the apartment section is how many SBFP fans came out of the woodwork and began quoting Woolie's *legendary* speech from this part of their LP of the game. Our eternal vigil as fans is to continually suffer within David's Cage. Except Detroit. That one's pretty okay.
One of the few games where dumb racist sterotypes didn't make woolie laugh, but genuinely made him annoyed. Ya know, because playing basketball in jerseys in below freezing temperatures is a totally normal thing for people to do!
Well, it's about Indigo Children, after all. And there's probably marketing overlap with something else that would have made shelving the box in stores hard Or the French think we're stupid, could be either
Oh lord. This is one of the games I regret finishing the most. I was legitimately angry by the end, and was considering a refund. Such an intriguing beginning with the idea of having to try to leave *some* clues, but not too many, to keep the plot going, all thrown away. I should have known better, knowing this was David Cage.
At the end of the video i thought i heard Limes mentioning not knowing what Omikron is? If that's what she said, then that's the game famous for having David Bowie compose the soundtrack. They gave it away for free when he died. Oh fudge yup, i had no idea David Cage also wrote it and Quantic Dreams developed it. I remember it in PC magazines in 99, although it has another title outside N/A region 'The Nomad Soul'.
The last third of this game was apparantly the result of the dev team running out of money and executives forcing them into rushing out the game for a deadline, and BOY does it show.
I did not know this game was a thing until I watched the Ross' Game Dungeon episode on it. Very weird experience just watching him go through the game.
For me, this game started to lose me when the two angels attacked Lucas. Then it *COMPLETELY* lost me when Agatha turned into a yellow polygon robot thing, that moment legit made me say "what the fuck" out loud.
I got onto the David Cage hate-train because of watching LPs of this, and I have not gotten off since. Cage wants to make games as if they are movies, and it does not work Edit: Also, having one of your characters in a game say " What am I, in a video game?" is not clever; it is actually dumb
I have never seen a game go from what the hell is going on to WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON quite so much as this. And this is the most I've ever seen of this game.
17:51-These voice lines are the new 'Jason!' or...the old? I know nothing about this game yet it being a David Cage game explains a lot and likewise this game explains a lot of...interesting decisions from the more modern titles he's involved in I retract my previous statement, 19:19 is the new, old 'Jason!'
The most I had seen of this game till now was some sporadic gameplay of the qtes. I thought Beyond: Two Souls was the worst of Cage's stuff, but this has it beat by quite a bit. Hearing that Omikron (which I had never heard of before) is apparently even worse has me cautiously anticipating if Laimu will play it. Also Cage trying to be slick with naming the MC Kane (Cain).
I watched a bunch of people play this and they all went what the fuck once they got to ancient Mayan prophecies, Indigo children, the hobo illuminati and the internet being alive and out to get you.
This was my first David Cage adventure and I never reached the point where anything that makes sense happens. I didn't realize that nothing that makes sense ever happens.
These Quantic Dream games all make so much more sense (for their abject insanity and pathetic loser protagonists) when you know that David Cage WROTE AND DIRECTED every single one of them
Oooh, you played my most memorable childhood game, the game that I once thought was very cool! Seems you had fun at least. Will you also play Omikron The Nomad Soul? People tend to ignore David Cages true magnum opus. EDIT: Ah, so you mentioned it at the end, so that means you will. Can't wait your reaction to the only game a well known British singer starred in.
The cherry on top for me is how much David is a dumb guy who thinks he's smart because his main character is shown to be super smart because he reads Shakespeare and Nietzsche, books you would be assigned to read in high school or freshman year in college.
I never knew that the dances were an in-game bonus, and instead thought they were shitposts. I mean, they still are, but apparently they are official shitposts.
I will absolutely agree with Limes and give the first few HOURS of Indigo Prophecy an accolade... but like her jfc that tutorial, that title screen, I take it back this game is 100% dogshit
Ah yes, the game that starts as a interesting murder mystery with some supernatural elements then goes balls to the walls bat shit crazy ^^ . Also, I would pay like 10 dollars at least for a stream were Lime interviews David Cage, would be absolute kino.
@@AncelDeLambert Did not think of that, thou David does have a particular taste in women, ei short haired brunettes- limes as a anime person might be safe ^^
What genre is this meant to be? I watched the whole video and I didn’t get a single answer, just question after question, none of which belonged in the same universe as the other, like the Rod Sterling tldr would take like 5 minutes
Laimu... do NOT paly Omikron! It basically broke up my favorite group of youtubers! Well, not really. But the timing lined up. Seriously though, they had TWO different guides, and all 3 of them playing different parts of the game, and they STILL almost couldn't do it. It is not even enjoyably bad like Indigo!
I love how this game just goes from weird but some sort of story to wtf is happening anymore
I audibly said "what the fuck" when the wheelchair granny turned into a yellow polygon robot thing.
This game is scuffed
allegedly due to them running out of budget money near the end

I would not be surprised, Cage is a diva.
Kinda wish that had happened with Shenmue, cuz, y'know.... Shenmue
heavy sequel baiting without any closure would appear to be the standard for most QD games

I absolutely love that segment of the LP woolie is legendary for that moment

Ooooh this is Fahrenheit, was wondering why it looked familiar. It's called Indigo Prophecy in the US for some reason.
Well, it's about Indigo Children, after all. And there's probably marketing overlap with something else that would have made shelving the box in stores hard

@@AncelDeLambert >overlap with something else
*cough* "Fahrenheit 9 / 11"

One does not simply escape David's cage
one simply get cage'd by david
DESPITE ALL MY RAGE
STILL A GAME BY DAVID CAGE
At the end of the video i thought i heard Limes mentioning not knowing what Omikron is? If that's what she said, then that's the game famous for having David Bowie compose the soundtrack.

YES I AM SO GLAD THIS FINALLY GOT A VIDEO THANK YOU
The last third of this game was apparantly the result of the dev team running out of money and executives forcing them into rushing out the game for a deadline, and BOY does it show.

"I never even heard of Omikron, how could it be worse?"
Oh. Oh, sweet, sweet summer child.
That's one more Quantic Dream game down before Omikron :)
Eyepatch Wolf/Lime collab stream on Omikron when
DAVID CAGE, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN
"Oh no, I made ze bad game!"
This game clearly shows David Cage suffers from "A legend in his own mind" syndrome.
Problem is, is the guy even a "legend" in anyone's mind, let alone the industry?
Giving us Davids a bad name. For shame, Cage, for shame.
For me, this game started to lose me when the two angels attacked Lucas. Then it *COMPLETELY* lost me when Agatha turned into a yellow polygon robot thing, that moment legit made me say "what the fuck" out loud.
Good good, we've gotten your psych test back, it says "sane" in big block letters
@@AncelDeLambert dude unintentionally replaced the Rorschach test through "talent" and truckload of money
15:23 this sums the whole game up
Cold inside and out was such a great joke.
I got onto the David Cage hate-train because of watching LPs of this, and I have not gotten off since. Cage wants to make games as if they are movies, and it does not work
Edit: Also, having one of your characters in a game say " What am I, in a video game?" is not clever; it is actually dumb
You gotta hand to him though - he manages to make bad games and bad movies at the same time, that's impressive!
Oh boy, is it time for Lime's Cage Era? Are we going to play Omikron?
14:45 and 23:10 - her little laughs during these sequences
David "I've seen the Matrix once" Cage
More Like David "I've seen the Matrix once, but i didn't get it" Cage
I can't wait for "I saw Memento and was confused" in Beyond: Two Holes
On the main channel?! FRABJOUS DAY!
I have never seen a game go from what the hell is going on to WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON quite so much as this. And this is the most I've ever seen of this game.
17:51-These voice lines are the new 'Jason!' or...the old? I know nothing about this game yet it being a David Cage game explains a lot and likewise this game explains a lot of...interesting decisions from the more modern titles he's involved in

Watch out for the mental elf. he's a sneaky one.
Game Over screens are a failure of the game design.
Why do you have THE BEST mouth tracking ive ever seen, it so good and clean, makes your model feel much more real

"Out to get you" is the funniest way to describe that lmao
My only interaction with this game is Ross's game dungeon. I am looking forward to the absolute cinema of limes experiencing this fever dream
OOO GREAT FERRET GIRL!!! I HAVE PURCHASED YOUR MERCH AND WILL BE WEARING IT PROUDLY!! 🎉 🎉
I hope she plays Deadly Premonition at some point
This was my first David Cage adventure and I never reached the point where anything that makes sense happens. I didn't realize that nothing that makes sense ever happens.
Glad you’re showing off the wacky and absurd games of David Cage. Hope you go on to play more! 😄
thanks david, very cool
Good job on that glass bullet hole thing editor. Made me laugh.
Games made by monster David Cage are always the most entertaining when being played by a monster: Exhibit A
These Quantic Dream games all make so much more sense (for their abject insanity and pathetic loser protagonists) when you know that David Cage WROTE AND DIRECTED every single one of them
Oooh, you played my most memorable childhood game, the game that I once thought was very cool! Seems you had fun at least.
Will you also play Omikron The Nomad Soul? People tend to ignore David Cages true magnum opus.

What in the fever dream was this
The cherry on top for me is how much David is a dumb guy who thinks he's smart because his main character is shown to be super smart because he reads Shakespeare and Nietzsche, books you would be assigned to read in high school or freshman year in
college.
I never knew that the dances were an in-game bonus, and instead thought they were shitposts. I mean, they still are, but apparently they are official shitposts.
Omg i didn't expect to see this game again, only seen gameplay of it from one youtuber and it's Criken xD
10:37 heartwarming video of nerdy-glomp the ferret being allowed to get another book, breaks down into tears (her education is her passion)
BRAVO DAVID DE GRUTTOLA
the story is so shit but i kinda like that it just keeps going regardless
could be worse, Limes could be playing Omikron, farenheit is less bad, but not by a whole lot..
EVERYTHING IS SO ADORABLE I JUST WANT TO BUY EVERYTHING BUT I HAS NO MONEY
now this is absolute cinema
If you make an effort to clean up after Lucas and do a shitty detective job, you STILL get two pieces of evidence to incriminate Lucas. Annoying.
YOOOO my first first! Thank you for the amazing content Lime!
Ah yes, another multi-hour QuickTime event from David Cage
I love watching Laimu play interactive video games, it’s 10/10 every time 😂
I will absolutely agree with Limes and give the first few HOURS of Indigo Prophecy an accolade... but like her jfc that tutorial, that title screen, I take it back this game is 100% dogshit
Is David Cage just the game developer equivalent of Neil Breen?
Ah yes, the game that starts as a interesting murder mystery with some supernatural elements then goes balls to the walls bat shit crazy ^^ . Also, I would pay like 10 dollars at least for a stream were Lime interviews David Cage, would be absolute kino.
He'd spend the entire interview hitting on her, let's pass on that
@@AncelDeLambert Did not think of that, thou David does have a particular taste in women, ei short haired brunettes- limes as a anime person might be safe ^^

Oh no, Limes plays ze Bad Game.
I mean...at least it isn't Omikron.
Great game, played it multiple times over the years
Your avatar is by far the most incredible one ive ever seen 😍 ❤🎉
I *loved* this game as a kid! At least up until everything goes haywire xD
What beautiful bullshit.
Laimu... do NOT paly Omikron! It basically broke up my favorite group of youtubers! Well, not really. But the timing lined up. Seriously though, they had TWO different guides, and all 3 of them playing different parts of the game, and they STILL almost couldn't do it. It is not even enjoyably bad like Indigo!
Your reward for beating this stupid, stupid game? David Cage busting a move. W H Y
Game overs are a failure of the game designer
hey I know that meme from minecraft
💚💚💚💚
I hate valley girl Limes but I laughed
Heavy rain is a good game with very bad acting haha
FIRST
Choooosen ooooone 17:52
