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.

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.)

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: rick01457I try and steer clear of scary games because I can't handle them but probably my scariest moment in gaming was walking up to a mother and baby in the first Bioshock. It freaked me out enough to put the game down and leave it for a few weeks.
Haha - I know, right? Fun to see another one picking Bioshock. Man that game was creepy at times. :D

**Still hopping for Omikron The Nomad Soul HD remake too**
Anyway, most thrilling story was in Sanitarium. Being with amnesia and a bit crazy on and off the levels while fighting for your life was nuts. Also miraculasly escaping a fire and ending up in a asteroid fallen land where only children survived and they keep talking about a strange "Mother" and finding that stuff out was really creepy!
As for the best scary moment. System Shock. The music is a bit electronic and trippy, but if you play the game with the soundtrack from the Sci-fi horror movie Event Horizon you'll sure get scared. The music even has background eerie voices, and one of the times when I got stalked by a zombie and turned around by chance, I nearly fell from my chair!

Thriller? "12 Monkeys." I first saw it as a triple-feature thing in college with it, Brazil, and the Matrix.

Since I play mostly 4X games, not a lot of really scary moments, you know? Unless you count the first time in Master of Orion II when the screen suddenly shifts from the game to a shot of the Antarans coming down a wormhole at you and telling you they're going to exterminate you. But . . . nah.
Thriller? Depends what counts. The Professional was pretty awesome; I've been a Jean Reno fan ever since. Sexy Beast was very good if it's a thriller. And, this might strike some as odd, but The Crying Game. Aside from the . . . different . . . twist that got everyone's attention, it was actually a pretty tense and well-acted story about betrayal and revenge in the IRA. Had some good lines, too. Main character being hassled, has had enough, quietly asks the guy, "Ever try to pick up your teeth with broken fingers?"

Oh geez... best thriller story... Well, I did recently watch a movie called Maze Runner. It takes place in this almost alien maze. In the center is a meadow where people live. A few of those people go and run the maze trying to map it out and find the way out. I about crapped my pants when the Grievers showed up. ~shudders~
Favorite horror game so far is Amnesia, a Machine for Pigs. REALLY scary game, excellent ambiance, compelling story... I love it.
Thank you GoL for the news, and for the raffles. Congrats to the winners, whoever they may turn out to be,

scariest moment on gaming: walking on the water on the 1st amnesia.
thriller stuff? The latest Evil Dead scares me, maybe because I never usually go to the cine to watch thriller movies. I remember than !spoiler! one of the girls there hurts her mouth so bad than it did makes me feel pain.

Sorry, going OT, as if my earlier incoherent rambling wasnt enough...
Another unnecessary remake that manages to completely miss the point. The original is a classic due to its campy charm, and obviously because of Bruce Campbell's chin, definitely not because it's particularly scary. Obviously the original was supposed to be the scariest movie ever, foiled mainly by the shoestring budget and inexperience. The humour's unintentional, unlike in the sequels.
Sorry if you weren't referring to the 2013 movie. All these remakes just make me blow a gasket for some reason.

Favorite thriller story: Hotel dusk Room 215
Scariest moment: I was playing silent hill 1 at 3 AM, after killing the giant dog and getting out of the school I was searching for the hospital when I heard a girl's scream outside (irl). There's a ravine behind my house, and the window on my room faces the ravine. The scream came from there. I never played silent hill again, and could not sleep that night. It could've been an animal, but it really sounded like a human.
