Kathy Rain: Director's Cut

Short, nice game with a good story and easy puzzles. Because of small amout of locations, and small size of them, there is a lot puzzles about to move between the locations.

Итак, прошел за 6 вечеров. Нормальный квест, нормальные загадки. Затупил, где взять бензин для катера, и как правильно сопоставить цифры на могилах, подглядел в прохождении. А так согласен с тем, что есть лишняя анимация - вроде по двойному клику ты быстро выходишь из локации, но дальше ждёшь анимацию - вот она открыла дверь, вот она вышла, вот она закрыла дверь. Или приехала, сняла шлем, слезла с мотоцикла, вышла в центр экрана. На n-раз уже бесит) Озвучка классная, перевод отличный, история мистическая. Был удивлен тем, что героиню могут убить)

This is a point-and-click adventure/mystery game in the mold of 1990s Lucas Arts with a setting heavily inspired by Twin Peaks. It uses a linear narrative broken up with puzzles that fit naturally into the story. I bought this on a whim and liked it more than I expected to. The story really drew me in and I felt immersed in the characters. Kathy kept me engaged with her well-defined personality and sense of humor, I think she's the reason I played all the way through to the end. I can see why some people would be feel that the ending was underwhelming, but I think it was pretty great from a symbolic/thematic point of view (just don't take things too literally) in the tradition of smart horror narratives. The puzzles were mostly fun and interesting to solve, with good variety and range between easy and hard. There was only one puzzle I really got stuck on, and I managed to solve the last major one completely on accident. I'm new to this genre but really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to playing the sequel.

I could hardly put this one down. It also had the best control scheme for steamdeck of any point and click I've tried. Gonna hit up the sequel next.

A good mystery game. Almost near the end as of this review. If you're a fan of detective, mystery, or supernatural games, I believe you'd like this. To me personally it gave off similar vibes to the KONA game series. One thing I will mention is that this game's puzzles can be frustrating. While I am enjoying my time, I had my fair share of frustration. Certain puzzles make you overthink and end up being way more straight forward, while others make no logical sense what so ever and make you say "No F***ing way!" Frustration aside, the game tells a great story. Plus I can't knock on the puzzles too hard since for all I know anyone smarter than me probably figured it out right away. So I would say I do recommend this game, just be prepared for a few headaches lol 8/10

Well made point'n'clicker with occultism, great

I picked up this game during a time of unemployment and depression, and while I'll spare you the tale of my own issues in detail, I'm glad I did. I decided I wanted to write a proper review for this as soon as I started enjoying it, and it's been a while since I've taken this amount of time. Launching into the game, I almost immediately fell in love with the design in it's entirety. If you love old school adventure games with less clunky UIs and decent puzzles, this one is right up your alley. The menu also is quite robust for a small indie game, and the soundtrack was excellent from the start screen, to every accompanying piece throughout the story. The game leads you through various locations investigating suspicious occurrences connected to events that happened before your recently deceased grandfathers death, and while a bit confusing at points as to 'what' is going on, it connects the threads rather nicely for a nice little classic mystery game that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. Kathy is quite a fun protagonist, and the cast around her is well-written, voice acted, and quite interesting. The pixel art and the portaits given alongside these performance are a nice touch, too. There's a variety of puzzles and interesting dialogues that are sure to keep anyone who loves a good point and click invested!
