What was believed to be a sleeper hit, soon became known.
It's not even just the main character -Lucas Kane- you control, Indigo Prophecy allows you to play as three more diffent characters and from there point of view. You play as Carla Valenti, the detective on the Lucas Kane murder case, and her partner Tyler Miles. There are also some parts in the game you play as Lucas's brother, Marcus Kane.
As for the storyline, when you start to get towards the end of the game, it seems as if half of the middle of the story was just pulled out. It's like you missed out on a bunch stuff. This is what probably made the game seem so short, but for the most part you should be able to keep up. This is definitley a game you should at least rent.
