Kathy Rain

This is an unusual game. I appreciated the pixel art, the main character and the voice acting was well done. For the first three days, I thought the story was decent, but I didn’t enjoy the last two days or the game’s conclusion. By the end, the tone left me feeling cold. I would only recommend it if it’s on a 90% sale. I might play the second but I am in no hurry

If you like old school Point and Clicks like games from Sierra. This is a must. I knocked it out in 2 days

When I first played this game I thought it was an oldie that I had somehow overlooked in my "own" time, but once I realized it's a new game I was all for massive thumbs down. Really put the GRRowl in GRReat. Seriously wtf?! You don't see it at first, because all the teasers are tiny pictures, but those pictures are actually the native resolution of the game. Yep. Totally unbelievable. It's a pretty nice game with totally shitty graphics. The low res is a really bad design decision. Inexcusably bad. Still, great game, just with shitty graphics. My eye balls stil hurts.

Kathy Rain is a point and click style adventure that starts off as a mystery then veers into the supernatural. The game starts of pretty well with the sassy title character attending her estranged grandfather's funeral. After learning that her grandfather was in a vegetative state for 15 years prior to his death, she begins to investigate while dealing with unresolved family trauma. The early story hooks you into the story nicely. Unfortunately, the the ending was rather lackluster and doesn't really explain the supernatural elements well. There's a newer "Director's Cut" version that apparently adds additional content and expand later parts of the game. I got the original because I saw it on sale but you might want to pay a premium to pickup the Director's Cut version instead. The puzzles generally had more 'common-sense' rather than 'moon-logic' style solutions which was great. Puzzles require more logical thinking rather requiring you to do some nonsensical nonsense. A few more challenging ones but nothing crazy. Makes Kathy Rain a good entrance to genre I'd say or if you don't like moon-logic in your games. The game is also fully voice acted, a nice retro art style, good atmosphere and was crash/bug free for me. 8/10

good investegation and puzzle game

Go play the Director's Cut version. :)

Very Lynchian... .. .
