10 Video Game Plot Twists That Punished Loyal Fans

9. Lucas Kane Is The Savior Of Mankind - Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy

Indigo Prophecy fight
Quantic Dream

There are many, many things wrong with Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in the States), but just how you get from one of the coolest "You just committed a murder but can't remember anything, what do you do?!" to a mid-game twist involving a messiah turn, is beyond me.

So it turns out that not only is the internet an actual being that can spring into life and kill people, but main-man Lucas Kane isn't the mild-mannered guitar-playing dude we played for the opening hours, but the linchpin in a timeless conflict between the 'Orange Clan', the 'Purple Clan' and 'The Invisibles'.

Because David Cage.

As such, he completely randomly decides he knows kung-fu, dresses like a homeless person/Danny Rand in the first episode of Iron Fist, and begins fighting said demonic forces whilst balancing on TV antennas.

What.a.mess.
