Twin Peaks little sister

I've played this one just after finishing other dev's game, "whispers of a machine". The latter is obviously more polished and has better interface and graphics, but honestly I like this one's story better. It all spins around some weird events happening in a small town where you will be investigating your family secrets. The main complaint is that the puzzles are sometimes too hard to figure out without a guide, but overall it's beatable. If you are into adventures I would recommend to beat "whispers of a machine" first, and if you like it you should definitely check this one out.

Nice P&C, but shy of truly being great.

3.5 stars Albeit short, Kathy Rain has all the makings of a fun Point & Click adventure game due to its highly enjoyable art direction, good music and some clever puzzles. However, the difficulty of the puzzles goes up and down dramatically, and the requirements needed to advance are sometimes convoluted. Knowing where to go next is usually pure guesswork instead of logical progression, which is a shame because the backtracking can be very tedious. Kathy is for the most part not that interesting a character. Her alternative, going-against-the-grain, angsty girl schtick can get old quite fast, but that may just be matter of taste. I quite like the whole vibe the game is going for. Small town, strange mystery. It's obviously very 'Twin Peaks' inspired. While I do think some of the plot falls flat, especially concerning some characters, I enjoyed my time with it. Kathy Rain is recommended if you love strange mysteries and adventure games that offer a challenge, but don't resort to 'moon logic' with regards to it's puzzles. Nothing breathtaking here, but I'd definitely be interested in playing a proper sequel.

High production values, average game

This is an adventure game rivaling Wadjet Eye quality in terms of graphics, voices (Wadjet Eye was involved in these, actually) and quality. Ultimately I get the feeling the author wanted to tell a story more than create a point & click game - there's a couple of neat puzzles, but generally they feel like roadblocks. The puzzles were my least favorite part of the game. The writing is both good and bad. At times the game sets an emotional moment, but then the voice acting changes completely from a tearful scene into Kathy talking normally, which is kind of strange. Buy on sale if you enjoy linear, story-based adventure games with high production values.

Looking forward to the sequel!

Excellent game! Even if it is a little short. Very nice setting and atmosphere . Great characters and humorous dialog. I got it on sale for $5! Very happy! Would not buy at full price though.

Love it

Kathy Rain is a point and click adventure game made with the AGS (Adventure Game Studio) engine. The game mechanics have it's own particularities but it is the similar to other game of this genre. You can think about, look and combine items in your inventory, and you also have a notebook where the important clues are wrote down, you will be able to use these to work out the next course of action and also as conversation topics. The history unfolds in the great 90's, leaded by a independent girl that studies journalism. She learns about the dead of her grandfather a decides to pay the visit she hesitated doing for many years. Her rebellious and bold spirit will make her get involved in an old strange case and help her investigate using methods that will lead her further than any cop could do when the case was open. It will be a travel to the past. I honestly love everything about this game, the art and the setting is perfect, the characters are compelling and some of them lovable, the voice acting is superb, the story makes you want to keep playing and want more, the puzzles offer a very decent challenge, not very hard if you are used to this kind of games but not extremely easy either. Playing with all that 20 year old junk was a blast and made me feel nostalgic. I really hope the dev gets enough support, i can see enough similarities with blackwell here to see it could be a successful series if it's given a chance. Acdetective is born but she needs to grown, this game is screaming for a sequel.
