Few days ago the remaster of Fahrenheit popped up on Amazon with Aspyr logos and penguins. Well, it seems that Aspyr is indeed behind the remaster and the Tux was put on there for a purpose. Behold, the next Aspyr Linux port is here!
This one surely was a big surprise. I don't think anyone could have expected this game to come out on Linux before the Amazon incident. I haven't played the original but I've only really heard good things about the game and the messages we've received from fans of the game since we reported the game popping up on Amazon have been full of excitement.
About (from https://www.fahrenheit-game.com/)
Originally released in 2005, Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America) was a breakthrough in interactive narrative, teetering between the worlds of cinema and gaming while also embracing them, carving its own unique genre in the entertainment landscape. This newly remastered edition features updated graphics and full controller support for all platforms, and is based on the uncut and uncensored international version of the game.
With a rich multilayered narrative, innovative presentation, and a chilling musical score by famed Hollywood composer Angelo Badalementi, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered serves as the definitive version of the supernatural murder mystery and (re)introduces the groundbreaking title to old and new fans alike.
How to get some free keys
Aspyr has once again generously given us some Steam keys to give out to you. And we have this tradition of making you do stuff to get those keys. Of course previously we've often asked for reasons why you love us and Aspyr but this time we'll be playing differently. Because we are dealing with a thriller game, I thought we could ask you a question that's related to the theme.
So, what is your favourite thriller story? It can be from a game, a movie or a book but we are excluding Fahrenheit from this one because it would be too easy an answer. Sorry, Fahrenheit fans! And if you are not a fan of thrillers, what has been the scariest moment in gaming for you? Bonus points for answering both! (Bonus points may or may not count towards your victory.)

Hey, I didn't know this game ! I will check it out, but not before an attempt to win a free key :)
First, the easy one :
The scariest moment in gaming for me was Amnesia : The dark descent, with headphones, at night, HRTF on... Well, I didn't finish this game :P
Next, my favorite thriller story ? I must say I am not really comfortable with this question, since it is not my favorite genre. I will take a light attempt with answering "Allan wake", but I didn't finish this game either, because it's Windows-only.

Quoting: SabunMy favorite thriller was Michael Jackson's!
When this videoclip are presented in in the 80's, I was a boy and I could not see it becouse I was really scared, especially in the end when Michael turned his head and his eyes ....

For me the scariest moment I can recall during a game happened while I was playing Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem on the GameCube. Despite the title this is far from the scariest game out there, so after playing for quite a while I had been lulled into the sense that nothing truly frightening would happen. As many reviews had pointed out the game was very gory and at times a little weird, but not scary.
As I was exploring the bathroom in mansion's master bedroom it happened; a fast and brutal cut scene of my character's corpse lying in a bathtub full of blood. It was accompanied by a woman's scream.
The scene paled in comparison to the many horror scenes I've seen in games before, yet it scared me like no other game ever did. I can only attribute the intensity of this scare to the false sense of security the game had carefully crafted leading up to it.

It's a bit ridiculous:
I was quite young und tried out Dino Crises... I was so screwed that I stopped playing and finished the game years later. There were more and more strange tracks and killed people in a research facility and you have to go through the entire facility to do your investigations. Most times you were alone and only a alarm or the noises of computers were present. In every moment a raptor could attack you and rip you apart... It could come from a vent... Or jumps through a window where you would never have expected it. But the most shit moment was this (I think it is an easter egg): I you were too long in a specific office a T-Rex would break through a large window and rip you apart. It was a felt millisecond death and you can only survive if you stand in a specific corner of the room and even then you needed luck and lots of ammo to chase this beast away...
The most scariest movie for me was Saw, the part where these two guys were enchained in this tiny bath room and had to saw their limbs to get free...

All the blood drained from my face.

Such a great and evil game. ;)
(I still play it about once a year with my hubby!)

Me, I'm quite partial to David Lynch's output, like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks.
I'm a fan of the surreal and of Noir, and his work frequently hits those notes.
