The Cat Lady

We all have been there but this Point n CLick takes melancholy to the next level with a serious blend of topics and corniness, an artstyle handcrafted and charming with puzzles that aren´t too cryptic or complicated while sometimes maybe being also too easy. Soundtrack was great too, except a few college rock interlude songs. The topics get recycled a bit and it feels like some discussions get repeated too foten so expect some eyeroll n skip sections, while others hit home in a emotionally charged furious tornado of self reflection for whoever had been at the deepest abyss in their life. Which during times of massneurosis as we suffer from nowadays, isn´t all too rare anymore. What i loved most about the story though was the hook of seeing the protagonist become self emancipated again through sheer hate and then using that energy with the power of friendship to eventually stop breaking bad and finidng joy in living again. I bet someone could write an entire essay like its a joker movie review, but to make it simple: its a daring game for anyone who never knew how dark life can get, truly a horror movie for the naive and happy. but to me, and like for susan, just another day in battle.

gli intrecci narrativi mi hanno lasciato stupefatto. La storia è costruita in maniera magistrale, e cattura da subito. I contenuti sono molto forti; sia a livello visivo che a livello emotivo, cosa che d'altronde si capirà già dall'incipit. L'autore è stato ispirato da qualche misteriosa Musa, perché una narrazione che scava così a fondo nell'animo non può essere costruita a tavolino. Spero che un giorno un grande regista provi questo titolo, perché sono sicuro che ne farebbe subito un film.

I never heard of the game before I found it on Gog. Normally im not so much into adventure games anymore (like i used to be in the early lucasarts days) but deceided to buy it because of its promising themes and the incredible good reviews it got here. I have to say: It is one of the most unique and amazing games I came across for a long time. Even if youre no adventure fan you have to check it out. There are few Video Games that deserve to be called works of art (Planescape Torment and System Shock are amongst them, just to name tow), but this game has definitely be included in such a list. I have rarely played a game that takes its characters so serious and explores its difficult and dark themes so rigiously. Not only highly recommened - you HAVE to play it!

There's a lot wrong with The Cat Lady, but there's a lot right about it, too. It's a mixed bag in terms of game play, but if you let the creepy atmosphere and intriguing story absorb you you'll no doubt find yourself having a blast with this title. I live-streamed this on Twitch in it's entirety and my viewers loved it. 8/10
