Susan Ashworth, known in her neighbourhood as the crazy Cat Lady, is a lonely 40-
year old on the verge of suicide. She has no family, no friends and no hope for a
better future.One day she discovers that five strangers will come along and change everything.But those five, "The Parasites", are also the most ruthless, deranged and cold-blooded bunch of psychopaths the city has ever known. They will stop at nothing to hurt Susan. Unless, she hurts them first...
Susan's few weeks journey doesn't take her across the world and won't turn her into a
hero. She has little faith in others and hardly even cares about herself. She can't fight
and has never fired a gun in her life. But she's hanging onto that thin thread of hope, that in the end, as promised, there's an elusive reward waiting for her. Something worth trying for. Something that'll help her find an unlikely friend. Something that'll give her life a purpose. Susan's journey takes her on a roller-coaster ride between the world of the living and the world of the dead, where the only way to survive is to overcome her biggest weakness: her own self.
The Cat Lady is a new, critically acclaimed horror adventure game by designer
Remigiusz Michalski (author of Downfall, 2009). A gripping story, pumping soundtrack,
high-resolution artwork, and motivational voice acting will engross you on your journey through the strange and often terrifying world of The Cat Lady.
A deeply engrossing story dripping with gut-wrenching tension and pacing by writer Remigiusz Michalski.
A highly stylized visual style with high resolution artwork.
Simple keyboard controls for a streamlined experience.
Features a pumping soundtrack with 70+ minutes of original music.
Indie development & voice cast provide gritty, uncensored punch.
A poetic and deeply immersive game. I loved it. The story is well written, very dark at the beginning. The music is great and the graphics, although simple, are really consistent with the atmosphere of the game.
The gameplay is simple and eficient, the puzzles are complicated enough to challenge you but easy enough not to get stuck ten days on the same chapter.
The developers have chosen to deal with the Depression Illness as central to the game and they did it with intelligence and subtility. It reminded me a lot of Silent Hill 2, as a poetic and psychoanalytic game. A 5 star game, no hesitation. Buy it, it´s worth the price of a Mc Donalds.
Set in a darker mood around Susan's struggles with depression, which might not be to everyone's taste, this is one of the best adventure games I've played.
Like others have said, its violence and gore levels are never gratuitous, and serve a (well balanced) purpose.
The story is compelling, well strutured, and the multiple endings, will make you start all over again to see what you could've done differently to affect the outcome.
The puzzles are "easy" and logical enough that you won't get stuck for too long.
FOR LINUX USERS: runs nicely through wine. Just set the render to DirectDraw, and _DO_NOT_ downgrade the textures to 16bit, as that will hamper your ability to finish the game.
One of the independent game (with Lone Survivor) who is able to keep the atmosphear of the best episodes Silent Hill series (Silent Hill 2, 4, Shaterred Memories).
It's a really good game. The puzzle parts remind me a bit of some point-and-click games, but I think the story and narrative are where the game truly shines.
What I liked most was that it's less of a linear story about 'good people versus evil people' and more one where 'everyone is evil in some way' (or perhaps, 'everyone has their own darkness').
