60 of 361 · most liked firstPlaying a few Next Fest Demos. So far: Duck Detective 2 is VERY cute, but the demo is short. Need Do No Harm is a little confusing in mechanics, but a solid game that I can’t wait to play more of. Lovecraftian “life sim” type game. Kathy Rain 2: Holy shit, looks absolutely gorgeous.

unlabelledView post →There's still a couple days left in steam's detective sale, so inspired by @caseyexplosion.bsky.social I figured I'd make some recs of my own! Starting with Kathy Rain, a solid adventure game with a love-it-or-hate-it Twin Peaks-esque plot, and a promising-looking sequel that just released!

unlabelledView post →The ending of @clifftopgames.bsky.social’s Kathy Rain 2 was pretty much perfection. It closed the story off beautifully and answered all the questions I had from the first game. It also leaves the door open for a potential third game, but if that’s it for Kathy Rain, I think they nailed it!
unlabelledView post →I really don't understand all the praise for this game. Don't get me wrong; The art is gorgeous, mostly well voice-acted, and it is perfect to play on the Steam Deck (with caveats that I will discuss later). Granted, I was basically going in blind outside of the general understanding that I would have to solve some sort of mystery, so I really didn't know what I was getting myself into story-wise. Still, the story just really didn't click with me. Days 1-3 did the job in setting up the…

unlabelledView post →Saw the announcement about the new Kathy Rain game, and the one thing I will say about it is that I’m happy that the Steam page has a Mature Content Warning for “Adult themes, violence & psychological horror” because the first game did/does not, and I feel strongly that it should have.

unlabelledView post →A few hours in and I'm really loving Kathy Rain 2 Well worth picking up the first game too, but the new one shows how far @clifftopgames.bsky.social skills have grown It's like if Strangeland by Wormwood Studios & the Rosangela Blackwell games by Wadjet Eye Games had a kid Highly recommended
unlabelledView post →Allow me to recommend a game to you! Kathy Rain is a point ‘n click inventory puzzle adventure game. No soft locks for mistakes, press a button to highlight interactables, AMAZING cosmic horror mystery/detective story (yes!), sublime ambient music, great characters, made me audibly gasp at times!
unlabelledView post →Brilliant old school Point&Click Adventure! I really like the protagonist and the other characters, the story and gameplay, voice-acting, intro music - and the graphics are nice for that pixel style too. Seriously can't think of anything to complain about! It's easy to miss achievements (I tried every stupid thing I could think of after reading the achievement descriptions as a pointer and still missed 2) but you can't get stuck - if you fail badly the scene will just reload and let you try…

unlabelledView post →This is an interesting one, because this game kind of had to pull a thumbs up from my cold, dead hands. But it managed to, somehow. I think I started this game a few times, and really bounced off of it. Put simply, the main character is definitely... well let's just say it is not someone that I feel was directed at the male audience. She's kind of a gross character. That said.. the story started to hook me, and somehow I ended up kind of rooting for her. There's more to this story than…

unlabelledView post →Don't get me wrong — Kathy Rain is a wonderful game. A great detective adventure with an occult flavour and a likable protagonist. But this Director's Cut is a completely pointless and unnecessary. It doesn't add anything fundamentally new to the game, and it drags out sections that were already good as they were. The whole set of changes between the original game and the DC would've been enough for a small update or a bonus DLC. Instead, we got an entire separate game that costs one and a…

unlabelledView post →The game starts strong with great, charming characters and an interesting mystery to solve, but by the end it gets so nonsensical that I just couldn't give any ♥♥♥♥♥ whatsoever and I started using a guide to finish the game. And of course, the ending is just as awful as the mystery you're trying to uncover. AND IT STARTED SO STRONG, why did they add supernatural to the story?! The worst decision they could've make. The puzzles/item combinations are also starting to get even more cryptic the…

unlabelledView post →This game immediately took me back to the LucasArts adventure games I played when I was in my young teens. There’s just something relaxing, satisfying, and nostalgic about this style of game. No need to have the reflexes of a 14-year-old hopped up on Jolt Cola. Just explore, figure things out, enjoy the story, and occasionally wonder how the hell the developers expected you to figure that puzzle out. I especially loved the little nod to Corley Motors. As someone who played Full Throttle back…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →f you're a fan of point and click adventure games I highly recommend Kathy Rain. It's short but so so good, it has that feeling of the old 90s games with awesome pixel art and snappy one liners. Very heartfelt, and deals with some really heavy themes.

unlabelledView post →I found this game by complete accident when I was watching a top 10 Point-and-Clicks video. This game looked really cool, and it was on sale, so I grabbed it. What followed was a nicely paced Point-and-Click adventure that I super enjoyed and am really looking forward to playing the sequel! You play as Kathy, a university student who majors in journalism. As you're lazing around in your dorm room, your roommate tells you that your grandpa just passed away, and you should go to his funeral.…
