3. Omikron: The Nomad SoulQuantic Dream/Eidos, PC-Dreamcast, 1999-2000
You are the Nomad Soul, a computer game player sucked into another dimension. At first you
take on the role of Kay'l, an Omikron police officer. As Kay'l you must figure out what has
happened over the past few days due to memory loss. As the game progresses you will find a plot
that twists and turns at every corner. For transportation, you use a "Slider" that you can control
manually or set to auto-pilot to take you throughout much of Omikron. When given a choice of
what to say to a person, your answers will almost always affect your future in the game and how
people act towards you.
Throughout the course of the game you may take on the role of up to 41 different characters
through the use of a "Soul Transfer" spell. In most situations, even if you die, you will be "virtually"
reincarnated through the next character that touches you. In your travels you must explore the
vast city of Omikron. You may visit anywhere in the city that you wish to, even if it isn't important
for finishing the game.
Although most of the game takes place in adventure mode there are two other modes available to
use at certain points throughout the game, shooting and fighting. In the fighting mode, your
character knows a variety of moves and will have to fight off his opposition. In the shooting mode,
you find yourself in a first-person perspective shooting after thugs mostly, although you will run
into some more interesting enemies to shoot later in the game.

4. FahrenheitQuantic Dream/Atari, PC-Xbox-PS2, 2005
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe) is a psychological
thriller, in which you play 4 different characters on both sides
of a murder - the killer and those who are trying to find him.
The game begins as Lucas Kane, the main character, who,
under the control of an unknown force, uncontrollably
murders a complete stranger in a New York City diner. As the
game progresses you will also play Lucas' brother Markus
Kane, who became a priest, as well as the police detectives
investigating the murder, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles.
You will play through 44 fast-paced chapters as this
paranormal adventure unfolds. Good reflexes and hand-to-
eye coordination are necessary to get through the many
action sequences. You'll be able to explore the environment
and interact with it, and many tasks have a time limit and will
require you to act quickly.
