The Cat Lady

At first I was kind of confused by the controls, but after a while i got used to it. The story of the game is so great and emotional, I really didn't expect that.

It have been written many reviews previously, so mine wouldn't bring anything new. For me this game have only one big minus - is too short. I can stand bit clumsy controls for the atmosphere and the story - sad story of life.

Lots of people criticize the graphics in the comments section of articles I've read about this game. Well in my opinion its one of the strong parts of the game. After you accustom to it you feel like in some kind of artful comic theatre and it manages to draw you in. It is a mixture of hand drawn and real pictures. The controls are without the mouse but you get into it really fast. The puzzles are logical, I got seldom stuck. The story itself is deep and well written, also the voice acting is really good while each single character in the game has its own voice, this adds up to the experience. While the main story is dark and there are a lot of disturbing moments in the game. You get to know the main character(s) better in certain calm moments. This makes you care for them and their fate. Must buy if you like a good, dark story about a person struggling with her life and depression.

I have mixed feelings about this game. Some parts of the dialogues are fantastic, others are just redundant and generic. While the trailer of the game was very inviting, I found the pace of the game a bit slow. I know it was trying to be cinematic, but I was hoping that the tempo of the events would have some sort of a rise in pulse towards the end - instead, I found its dramatic peak somewhere at 40% of the game. The puzzles, I thought, were overall good. *thumbs up* Perhaps my biggest beef with the game was its choice of songs. The atmospheric soundtrack was great, but the Nickelback-sounding songs with vocals made my experience sink into a 2nd grade B movie one. Finally, some of the sequences are pretty long, and you cant pause during those, so please, don't be like me - go to the bathroom before you play, otherwise you'll find yourself in a world of hurt.

It know it sounds like a fanboy , but this game is true brilliant narrative gem , is art. cons: the game have some technical issues, but nothing of importance, is perfectly playable.
