Description

Kathy Rain: Director's Cut is a re-imagining of the classic 2016 point-and-click detective mystery set in the '90s.

In this investigative thriller, you will do things like:

• Collect clues and make deductions
• Analyze evidence
• Interrogate suspects
• Solve cryptic puzzles

All while moving from location to location on your sweet hog and getting into all sorts of trouble!

Kathy is a strong-willed journalism major who must come to terms with her troubled past as she investigates the mysterious death of her recently departed grandfather.

Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of cigs, and a notepad, Kathy delves into a local mystery surrounding her hometown that will take her on a harrowing journey of emotional and personal turmoil.

As she follows a trail of clues left by her grandfather, questions emerge: What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago? What turned him into a mere shell of a man, confined to a wheelchair? What secret did a suicidal young artist take with her to the grave, and why are so many people in Conwell Springs going mad? The truth is dark, sinister, and yours to uncover…

Overall interesting experience

Reminiscent of the Sierra games back in the 90s. Enjoyed the quality pixelated graphics. Had to use walk-throughs frequently to complete the game. The plot was interesting and the ending as well, with one caveat: this review was written by a male, felt like the story in the last half of the game was too heavy-handed in the aspect of sin: especially the abortion issue of the main character. Even though it was more of a side-note, do not know if the developers had an underlying motive. Will not mention my stance on the abortion issue but in the game itself it was used as the main character development. Overall a good gaming experience, worthy of the cost and download.

Great game!

I saw some reviewers saying they experienced bugs that made this game unplayable, but I experienced none of those issues. I completed the game with 19/40 achievements on an iPhone 12 Pro with no crashes or issues.

If you’re hankering for a game reminiscent of the OG Sierra point and click adventure games, then look no farther. Kathy Rain is a well-made game that plays great on a touch screen, has beautiful pixel graphics, is fully voice acted, and offers a mild bit of challenge - enough to keep you engaged, but not challenging to the point of discouraging you from continuing. As another reviewer indicated, I did enjoy the story but have a nit with the writer’s reference to Kathy’s past personal decisions being reflected in the form of a haunting past. I don’t think the game is trying to take a hard stance one way or the other, but it did feel a bit odd to experience. That aside, it’s quite enjoyable and worth the cost. For players on newer devices (iPhone X and newer), the game won’t necessarily fit the full screen (there will be letterboxing on the sides), but it still looks and plays great and isn’t noticeable.

Throw out your ambien. Sleep aid without drugs.

This “game” is so gd boring I seriously play it at bedtime to help me fall asleep, and that says a lot, because I LOVE point & click adventures, and have loved almost every one I’ve ever played since Maniac Mansion. Here’s the kicker, I paid extra for the directors cut, only to get even more boring dialog, and sleepy music. Seriously, If you’re into point & click, pick this game last, because it is NOT an “adventure”. It’s a gd sleeping pill in app form.

The graphics are pretty bad, even for a retro game. The voice acting (reading from a page) is mostly awful, Kathy is one of the worst ones, and that fact gets much worse when you realize that dialog (voice acting) is most of the game, and she’s in all of it.

If navigating your way through a world absolutely drowning in clickable objects that have no impact on progress, but trigger bad voice acting to talk about things that you couldn’t possibly care about, and listening to the most boring dialog and corny jokes ever written, just to get a note in a notebook which can be used to trigger more boring dialog & bad jokes is your thing, then Kathy Rain: Director’s cut is for you. Otherwise read on.
