good point and click with good story
Overall it's a good game. A shame it doesn't let me put it in window mode.

Best point-and-click adventure in ages
This is one of the best point-and-click adventure games I have ever played. Good: - Writing ranges from excellent to brilliant. Pacing is masterful, and the gripping story does not have a weak moment. - There are some highly original puzzles, and with a single exception I found them all logical and enjoyable. - Voice acting is top-notch. - Inventory / clue collecting system is very well implemented. - Characters are interesting and memorable, and especially the main character has exceptional depth. - Graphics are very good (for this genre). - I very much enjoyed the Lynchesque mood of this game. Your mileage may vary. Neutral: - Sound effects are not spectacular, but help to build the athmosphere just fine. - Music is a bit bland, but does in no way ruin the experience. Bad: - Nothing,really. All aspects of this game are at least solid, and some are exquisite. If you like this genre, or mysteries in general (and are not put off by a bit darker themes), do get this one.

Not Worth Your Time Yet
This game has gorgeous visuals and good voice acting. I thought the puzzles were just the right difficulty and the mystery definitely had me intrigued. Unfortunately, the story was where I was let down by the game. The game doesn't really give you many real answers at the end. I finished it and left unsatisfied. Maybe they're trying to set it up for some sequels later, but at this point, I didn't feel like the game was worth my time after I'd finished it. None of the characters besides Kathy achieved any real depth. The "bad" guy was predictable and pretty cliche and hamfisted. I called him from the first few minutes of the game and was right. The weird elements were certainly more interesting, but none of them were really explained. Maybe they were going for a "you decide what it is" sort of approach, but...it felt lazy. I love adventure games. I love the Blackwell series to pieces and was hoping for something like that, but I don't know if this really delivered as well as replaying a Blackwell would have.

Well done but too short for the price
About exactly what I expected: an indie point'n'click adventure with a mystical setting and retro graphics. While I would have preferred a little higher resolution, the game actually looks pretty good. You shouldn't expect major animations or cutscenes though: the amount of animation is about what early LucasArts adventures (Zak McKracken or Last Crusade) had. However, the game never looks amateurish like some of retro style LucasArts fan adventures. There's also full-fledged voice acting for all dialogs which is actually pretty good and there's nothing to complain about from a technical perspective. No bugs, no crashes and a perfectly well working old school savegame handling. The story has supernatural aspects in the way that you could also interpret them drug hallucinations in a way. Which is OK for me but it's not like everything totally makes sense at the end if you decide to assume that everything supernatural actually happened. The game is quite a bit too short (~5 hours) for the asking price. There aren't lots of locations and they're rather small. Most of them don't even scroll and if so only a bit (game doesn't fill a widescreen display btw.). Most puzzles are pretty much straight forward and you are not tortured with hidden object crap. The main mechanism is talking to people to get new dialog options. The typical "distraction" type puzzle is also there of course and reused to a degree where you could call it a running gag. Tthe only somewhat complex puzzle (safe code based on poem) wasn't really well designed IMHO. Like the typical case of a constructed puzzle that looks logical to its designer but not so much to the gamer who can't really know which parts of a poem contain hints and what's just there to make it rhyme. And, well, there's one case of "adventure logic" where you need to put a tape on a scanner to load in into a computer. Err. Anyway, I'd be definitely interested in playing another Kathy Rain adventure. I sure liked her cheeky comments.

Great and weird point & click!
It is short, but it's a great game. I can't talk to much about the story, it's is biggest appeal and i invite anyone to go through it!
