Good story, mostly good puzzles!

I really liked this game, as I tend to like a lot of narrative-driven games. It's an interesting story on the side of Twin Peaks levels of craziness. The puzzles were really good. Most of them were well led by the in-game hints. Only a few of them stumped me for some requirements I wouldn't figure on my own. Even after seeing the walkthrough, I'm not convinced I had enough information to solve them. The interface is very functional and to the point. This is a game I'd recommended for anyone interested in adventure games, not only diehards.

Pretty solid point-and-click

Good plot, good atmosphere, interesting characters and stuff to do that makes sense. Just a bit short.

Great game

If you liked Whispers of a Machine then you'll definitely like this game too.

Mostly intuitive adventure game

It has the look and feel of a classic point and click game. The story is almost deep but not very complex ultimately. It doesn't really leave you thinking. It takes twists and turns to keep your interest with bizzare events and unexplained supernatural woo but ultimately it never really becomes very deep or complex... The story almost dares to have a happy ending and an actual conclusion, unless you watch past the credits like most horror movies. It has the classic cheesy "I'll be back!" ending... Kathy is mostly likeble but she has a sort of teenage angst. I guess it's sort of a coming of age story. I liked the humor of this game. I got an achievement for trying to zap Goober twice. You can also get an achievement if you try burning bibles...( wouldn't in real life, but it's funny that it's an achievement and a rare one...) But honestly at times I felt starved for a little bit of humor, so I'd try things like zapping grandma with a tazor for a good laugh... (Not an achievement...) The "nemesis" of the game is off putting, creepy, the story is all together off putting and kind of creepy... So, little moments of humor really made the game more enjoyable for me. The puzzles weren't always designed as well as they could be. There wasn't always enough hints, direction what you were supposed to do. An intelligent, creative person could be exploring multiple different solutions to a problem with no real guidance at times...where as I only got stuck once ( on little sleep and food and lots of stress irl...) The MATHS BOOK puzzle at the beginning could have been a little bit more clear. How are you supposed to know for certain that it's referring to the first numbers of a sequence? It takes some experimentation to solve one or two puzzles in this game, such as the safe combo puzzle... Those two puzzles may have you wondering if you're on the right track at all or wasting your time... You probably wont need a walkthrough though. Over all it's a dcent game.

Excellent—a sure classic

"Kathy Rain" surprised me. I'd grown up a big fan of the LucasArts adventure games, and have been playing the WadjetEye and (RIP) Telltale stuff since. "Kathy Rain" is easily, easily among the best of those. The writing is great, although the game isn't as funny (nor trying to be as funny) as, say, "Day of the Tentacle" (although it can get pretty funny). The puzzles are good, eschewing the dreamlogic that makes a lot of those older adventure games unplayable while being challenging (although one puzzle is a bit unfair). The actors are on fine form, especially Kathy's. And the game just ooozzzzes atmosphere—a melancholy "Twin Peaks" focused on character. That bit's important—Kathy actually has an arc, growing over the course of the story. Loved, loved, loved it. I think it took me about 12 hours to beat, which is great value.
