    interface is terrible..............very unpractical.the classic scumm verbs would have been better than this click to select,click again to decide the action,which often causes the character to do unwanted(slow)actions.....it's also very slow both in storytelling and movement/actions,and this gets boring quite fast. shame ,because the game seems not bad at all.....classic point and clickinterface is terrible..............very unpractical.the classic scumm verbs would have been better than this click to select,click again to decide the action,which often causes the character to do unwanted(slow)actions.....it's also very slow both in storytelling and movement/actions,and this gets boring quite fast. shame ,because the game seems not bad at all.....classic point and click adventure, decent graphics and puzzles.

    I bought this expecting another Gabriel Knight, but this is a disappointment. There are very little puzzles in it, the story is quite short and the ending clearly makes it like a first episode and not a full length game. Also I'm getting sick of low res graphics... Makes it hard to distinguish things.

    Pixellated puzzler.

    Surreal little indie adventure with occasionally unintuitive puzzles. The story is moderately interesting but it loses its way somewhat towards the end. Recommended, but with reservations.

    Aventura gráfica con una buena historia al estilo True Detective. Los personajes son interesantes y con carácter, la protagonista es bastante carismática, apetece vivir más aventuras junto a ella.
    Los puzzles no son muy complejos pero tampoco automáticos, en más de uno tienes que pensar un poco.

    Mediocrity in every way. The developers of Kathy Rain should have realized early on that they are unable to create a work of art with interesting supernatural elements and human emotions.

    It's not necessary to go to LucasArts or Sierra for a bit of nostalgia. Kathy Rain is a great modern classic point-and-click adventure that fits perfectly in line with Blackwell, Gemini Rue and Shardlight.

    A fantastic story well told, superbly presented. When it comes to point and click adventures on Steam, Kathy reigns.
