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.
