Synopsis

Fahrenheit is a cinematic thriller from Quantic Dream set in a snowbound New York, where an ordinary man wakes up to find he has killed a stranger while in a trance. You switch between him and the two detectives hunting him, making dialogue choices and playing through scenes built around quick-time events. The story branches in small ways and leads to several endings.

Developer: Aspyr Media (remastered version), Quantic Dream
Released: 2005
Best version: The 2015 Remastered release is the one sold today; it restores the uncut content and adds sharper textures and modern resolutions.
Genre: Adventure, RPG
Where to get it: Steam

Reception

The original release was praised for its bold interactive storytelling and split-screen presentation, earning a PC Metascore of 85, though critics singled out the rushed, supernatural final act. The 2015 remaster scored lower, with IGN pointing to new bugs, heavy reliance on quick-time events and two clumsy stealth chapters. Players today still enjoy the opening hours and the atmosphere. Common complaints are the awkward camera, button-mashing sequences and a story that falls apart toward the end.

2.5/5

Controls feel awkward on a modern controller or mouse and keyboard
Most action is driven by quick-time events with stick patterns and rapid button mashing, and the prompts are hard to follow on both controller and keyboard. Controller support must be switched on manually and the D-pad and triggers do not work. Source: ign.com, steamcommunity.com, pcgamingwiki.com.
Menus, text and interface are clear on today's screens
The remaster supports widescreen, ultrawide and 4K resolutions, with remappable keys and subtitles. Wider screens are letterboxed rather than stretched. Source: pcgamingwiki.com.
Saving is fair: free saves or frequent checkpoints, little lost progress
There is no manual save, but with the autosave option on the game records progress after each important or difficult moment, shown by a REC icon, and finished chapters can be replayed from the menu. Autosave must be switched on in the options before starting the story, since it cannot be changed once a playthrough has begun. Source: steamcommunity.com, pcgamingwiki.com.
Hard to make progress without a guide
Two stealth chapters give no direction or feedback about what the player should do, so failure comes without warning. The rest of the game explains its prompts during play. Source: ign.com.
Pacing drags: grind, filler or forced backtracking
The strong opening gives way to forced stealth chapters and a final act that players and critics widely call rushed and confusing. Source: ign.com, steamcommunity.com.
Camera or movement fights the player
Several player reviews call the fixed, scene-based camera awkward, and it often swings to angles that make walking around a room clumsy. Source: steamcommunity.com.
