If the Kings Quest series gave birth to Stephen King's baby this would be it. Dark, disturbing, messed up in the head, and brilliant. If you're looking to be scared with loud noises and quick time events look else where, if you want to be told a truly unnerving story that will leave you thinking long after it's over, here it is. Not the kind of game that will hold your hand; it can be frustrating at times, but it never feels pointless or repetitive. If this game had AAA production values, it would be discussed as a Game of the Year candidate, without question.… Expand

   Obra maestra, este juego no es para todo el mundo pero si llegaste hasta acá, es porque te intereso aunque sea un poco, si es así no te vas aObra maestra, este juego no es para todo el mundo pero si llegaste hasta acá, es porque te intereso aunque sea un poco, si es así no te vas a arrepentir de jugarlo. Es la historia mas adulta que he tenido el placer de disfrutar y sentirme identificado con algunas cosas, habla de la depresión principalmente y es el primer juego que la proyecta realmente bien y crea una atmosfera tan gris y triste.
   Hablando de la parte jugable no tiene nada que envidiarle a ninguna aventura gráfica, sus puzzles están bien construidos y a la vez tienen una carga narrativa por la cual se puede conocer mucho mejor a los personajes ya que te das cuenta de muchos detalles. Tampoco tiene nada que envidiarle a un survival horror, la atmósfera es increíble y tiene un par de momentos que te hacen mirar atrás y comprobar que no hay ningún loco psicópata mirándote por la ventana.
   Este juego esta lleno de momentos, escenas, diálogos, personajes e imágenes que se te quedaran grabados en la cabeza, un arte increíble sobresaliente en las partes mas gore y una música (o silencio) que mantiene en tensión al jugador o da momentos memorables como las escenas de acción.
   En fin, a este juego le sobra personalidad, no puedo esperar mas para Lorelai.… Expand

All i can say for this game without giving away spoilers is that it blends horror with drama perfectly into the casual, old-school adventure genre. Best indie game to date, by far … Expand

   The Cat Lady is a game that probably requires a warning sign: don't play when severely depressed. This is a game with sad story but it ends onThe Cat Lady is a game that probably requires a warning sign: don't play when severely depressed. This is a game with sad story but it ends on a positive note(at least it did with me). Just take the protagonist. When you start the game she has just failed to commit suicide and is in hospital. But perhaps failed is not the right word, perhaps she actually succeeded...
   
   The game has a dark theme. This is the tale of someone who believes her life to be a failure and decided to end it. The overall colors are black, grey or a sharply contrasting white. What other colors there are are subdued. Except for red.You know blood red. The story is told with colors and the music supports the overall mood. It's a dark theme certainly, but often very beautiful done. Not realistic mind you, but made to visualize the emotion that the protagonist undergoes and thus communicating this to you as the player.
   
   As a game it is probably not a very challenging for experienced players. I can't tell as a seldom play such games. My main reason to play it was because it was cheap on steam and the art intrigued me. That the story was actually captivating was a bonus.
   
   I think that you choose this game for the story and art more than for the challenge it offers as a game.. Perhaps it would be better to say that this is a guided story.Games that matter because of the story and not so much because of the gameplay.
   Some like that, others don't care for it.… Expand

   The Cat Lady is an opaque and rough diamond that shines with sick colors. You'll love the introspection and the mature story. Easily one of the best adventure games of the last years. VIRTUALINN.IT… Expand

   It is difficult to explain just how bad this game truly is. For starters, there is no apparent way to change the resolution from full-screenIt is difficult to explain just how bad this game truly is. For starters, there is no apparent way to change the resolution from full-screen 800x600 - one of my monitors will refuses to display this resolution properly, so this game fails to run on 50% of the computers I've tested it on. The volume of the sound/voice/music can't be adjusted, so it's not a game that is friendly to headphone-wearing gamers. The controls can't be remapped and don't include gamepad support. Basic actions, like using a key on a door, are cumbersome because there is no mouse support. The graphics are beyond basic - the avatar is so poorly animated that she kind of shimmers and shakes when she moves, inducing eye fatigue and headache after just a few minutes - yet the game takes forever to start up. Since there isn't any menu or anything there doesn't even seem to be any proper way to exit the game. I couldn't even alt+f4 to exit, I had to resort to alt-tabbing out and using the task manager. I honestly have not a single good thing to say about the game. Definitely skip it.… Expand
