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.

I literally have no idea about how this game made me feel upon completing it - and its been a week or so now! I can honestly say it is by far the most unique and in depth game I've played...it is a proper adults game too. The script and voice is spot on too. Well worth a shot if you like indie stuff.
The story in this game is really well done, I constantly wanted to see where it was going. It is funny in places too with the dialogue choices you are given.
The characters are believable, and the parasites are creepy.
The gameplay is easy to understand, and there are some puzzles that require a little frustration, but nothing unbeatable once you set your mind to it.
Buy it today!

So what are you waiting for support the devolpers to make more gems like this and Buy buy buy !!!
A must-play for any horror fan. I didn't know what to expect going in, and the graphics and simple controls feel a little odd at first, but soon you will be sucked into the characters and story. It is a slow building arc, with a lot of dialog. At times, the dialog does get a little drawn out, but hang in there - the scenes of fear, horror and tension make it all worthwhile. The story is sad but engaging, and horrifyingly gruesome without being needlessly gory. It's a chilling experience, exactly what you look for in a horror game. It does have bits and pieces of humor, which serve to make the characters more relatable and ease some of the tension. The music and sound effects were fantastic, and the animations, while not high budget, were used well, from the slow approach of your enemies, to the way you creepily stumble around when drugged. The puzzles were pretty standard point-and-click fare with a terror twist. No complaints there.
We had a 10-15 hour experience with the game, and each night after work we ran to it. I miss it now that it is over! I got it on sale, but I feel it is worth the full price and then some.
Maniac Mansion fans - you will love one of the chapters in this. What a joy that was!
If you are a horror fan and have patience to play a story-based game, don't hesitate to pick this one up.
I rarely have the privilege to play a game as deep and interesting as The Cat Lady. Beyond the simple adventure game mechanics lies a dark and absorbing story. This is an experience that should not be missed. Never have I felt so much empathy towards a character in any game. This is a game that brought tears to my eyes. The story is very complex and the dialogue choices make a difference in how the game progresses. The puzzles are unique and the items needed actually make sense. The whole game is played using the arrow keys and the enter button which allows the player to sit back and just enjoy the story as it unfolds. I can only hope to see more games from this developer because there is a guaranteed sale from at least one very satisfied gamer. The soundtrack is made specifically for this game, it is one of the best scores I have ever heard. I bought the soundtrack, which is a full 70 minute album, after hearing the quality of the songs. If you want an experience instead of just a game look no further. I cannot recommend a game any higher that this.
