I bought the Remastered version, and I love the game except for the aggravating QTE where the bugs are chasing you around the office. I'm usually pretty good with QTE's, and so far, none of the QTE's in Fahrenheit have been too hard. Until I came to the one with the bugs in the office. I've lost count of how many times I've failed on this QTE.

So, is the bug-chase scene in the office the hardest QTE sequence in the game? If it is, then I'll push through it so I can finish the game. But if there are a lot more QTE's comparable to the office bug-chase, then I'm giving up and uninstalling this game.

There are a few more, longer QTEs, not necessarily harder, at least 3 more depending on the path you choose, and a number of shorter ones. Originally, I quit the game at the bug chase as well, but I picked it up again a few years later, swapped the controls to use the WASD and arrow keys, and got through all the QTEs without much trouble. In addition, playing on easier difficulty grants you a number of misses and lets you pass.

Thanks, SCPM. I'll give it another try. Would be nice to see developers add an option to skip a sequence after failing several times. Or an option to not have deadly chase or QTE sequences like Frictional added to SOMA.
This game was made when almost all video game players where into this kind of game mechanics, the concept of so-called video game players whom only want to experience the story, like if it was watching a movie instead of a game, was introduced later on.

If this game was released now, in case it even had this kind of mechanics in the first place, it would for sure have an option to just watch the story and not being required to win the QTEs.
