The brainchild of one of the most specific French studios, Quantic Dream, was released in 2005. It should be said that at that time such games were perceived in a special way, because interactive cinema and many options for getting out of the situation to some extent expanded the idea of the game process. Therefore, Fahrenheit, the passage of which is exciting from the very beginning, received the highest ratings from critics and consumers. At the moment, Quantic Dream studio has released a couple of similar, intriguing projects: Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. All these games are frank sensations, featuring a unique atmosphere and gameplay.
Where and how?
The main character of Fahrenheit, the passage of which is built in the form of an investigation, is a certain Lucas Kane, a simple employee of an ordinary bank. He lives an ordinary life without special adventures and worries: he goes to work, reads newspapers and books, has his own goals and dreams. Probably, everything would have remained in place if Lucas hadn’t come to that ill-fated eatery in the winter evening of 2009 ...
Then events take place that radically change his life. In a trance, Kane kills an unknown man. Having woken up in a restroom on a rugged corpse, he realizes that he has seriously plunged. An unintentional murder forces him to flee the scene of the crime. Further, the main character begins to suffer from various visions, showing him the events of the near future. With the help of them, Lucas manages to avoid suspicions in a timely manner. But that is not all. The passage of the game Fahrenheit will be shown in several ways, or rather - from the side of several actors. This means that the user has to control two more characters: detectives Tyler Miles and Carla Valenti. This approach to game mechanics allows you to fully experience and understand the current situation. Another interesting and important point - during the game Fahrenheit, the passage of which will reveal the secret of inexplicable events, the temperature around the world will rapidly decrease down to -76 degrees Fahrenheit.

Well, now let's look at some specific aspects of the game Fahrenheit. The passage of the entire plot will be accompanied by small cut-scenes in the form of in-game videos in which the user will need to press the corresponding keys as quickly as possible to avoid pain and despair. Such a highlight does not allow you to relax even for a second (after watching one such video, the rest will be perceived with increased attention). The second very important point - in this interactive world, events never stop! After the first, the second will follow, then the third, and after the fourth. Detective elements successfully intertwined with mystical ones, making the plot of the game unpredictable and bewitching. The main characters are depicted as plausibly as possible in the sense that everyone has an individual character, behavior, emotions and thinking. This allows you to get used to the skin of the protagonist, while being in the thick of things. In a word, the game turned out to be extremely unique and indescribable! The only pity is that Fahrenheit-2 will not be - the developers themselves reported this.
