The Cat Lady certainly leaves a quite a bit to be desired on the technical front - like some fairly elementary things we already got used to on the C64 - like smooth, jitter-free scrolling and animation ... but I dare to say, this is simply the most original, most powerful, and also, in more ways than one, most brutal (in all of its bare, no-bullshit glory) and touching games you might be playing ... well, for a quite a long time to come. Your mileage will of course vary, but it really was a while since a game (or a movie, or anything related) really made such an impression, and also really left me ... lets just say, it is very rare for a game to really affect you both mentally and intellectually. TCL is apparently categorized as psycho-horror, but perhaps this depends entirely on our own look at life and ... well. Don't take my word for it, find out for yourself. PS: the voice acting is so wonderful, I could listen to The Cat Lady's voice forever - quite melancholy, disproportionately sad, also down to earth, but unfortunately also so very hopelessly lost in her own understanding of the world and herself, and with that _classic_ English accent... all thanks to ms/mrs Lynsey Frost. My hat is certainly off for you.
