A Cathartic Adventure Game
The Cat Lady is depressing from the beginning to the end, and it is horrifically gory and violent at every turn. And yet it is consistently insightful and beautiful. It's a poem of a game, and the dialogue is some of the realest I've ever encountered. I'll keep my review short, because I don't want to be tempted to reveal anything of the plot, the disorientation in the opening chapters is one of the game's best features and would be ruined if you knew what it was about. I think SOME of the violence was gratuitous. The bleach scene was disgusting and the villains for it were out of a more comically grotesque horror story. I wouldn't have cut those scenes, but maybe they just needed a bit more thought. Also, there another villain who should be cut, simply because his appearance is so random and unconnected to the rest. (Unless he will be better explained in the up coming third game?) The across the hall neighbors are further explored in the sequel game after all, so maybe there's more of a plan than in apparent here. My other critique is that you are shown flowers at one point in the game and when you smell them, Susan says she won't. So, when I saw flowers afterward, I never tried that option again. So, I was stuck long enough to have to use a walkthrough, and the worst part is the reason you have to smell them is totally illogical. A normal person would just walk to their kitchen to get a knife rather than use a piece of a broken vase to cut something open. And NOTHING would keep Susan from doing that, except the game doesn't let you. But one illogical puzzle is a site better than most adventure games. Perhaps it is a problem that there aren't any hard puzzles that are logical, but I don't mind this being more of an interactive movie than a game, and it gets my whole hearted recommendation.
