Lorelai

Einfach super, ich habe The Cat Lady mehrmals gespielt und habs geliebt, dieses Spiel ist mindestens genauso genial!!

If you are looking for The Cat Lady Part 2 you will be in for some disappointment - sort of. While the mechanics are (basically) the same here, Lorelai's horror - or the devil indeed - is in the detail of everyday's social human interaction and the descisons that you make. It's about overcoming or succumbing to your demons in topics like domestic abuse, suicide, alcoholism, survivor guilt, deliberate agression and vile, depression and such. Are you at least trying to understand or help others, are you just standing by or are you actively make their lives more miserable or even help them to their ruin? How far - and over who's body - will you go to make yourself whole again? There is much less shocking gore and horror in Lorelai than in The Cat Lady and Downfall and definitely too much fade-to-whites for sure. It's not entirely perfect but all in all several playthroughs to see the different endings are totally justified! Lorelai is so unnervingly dreadful, because you probably met such people in real life. Lorelai is - in that regard - probably closer to the Dogma 95 movies than the horror genre, as Rem Michalski being one of the few game developers who can actually deliver drama that is as gruesome as it is humanly touching at the same time.

I've just completed Lorelai and I'm really impressed. The gameplay is similar to Cat Lady and also the story has some connections. If you're a fan of TCL, you certainly won't be disappointed with Lorelai. Of course, the story is deep emotional and a bit sad, with added some horror elements. Some cruel parts of reality are also elements of the storyline.

I only have good things to say about this game as it was so well written with its characters and story. I will say this is for those who truly enjoyed The Cat Lady and Downfall. The music in the game is really great. The thing I didn't like that much is the weird lightning effects sometimes in some scenes. It still have the same feeling with the graphical style as from the previous games with improvements. This might be something that turns some off and yes it isn't for everybody. I will also mention that there are different endings so be prepared for that. If you enjoyed the previous 2 in the series you will truly enjoy this one. Get ready for one heck of a trip.

Ein nettes kleines Game für Fans von Horror und Abenteuer.
