i'm glad i held off playing this game for as long as i did, i don't think i would have sympathized and understood the themes and messages of The Cat Lady back then. it's only took a 6 hour playthrough for it to make it my top favorite game stories. it's beautiful, tragic, gruesome, strangely funny, and also CATS!!! even if your not big on point and click or adventure games, i would still highly recomend at least 1 playthrough. it's a true low budget art house film come to life as a game, and you should absoutley play it, especially for the cats :3

It's a really great game. I found it to be very relative to me because the main character, Susan Ashworth, likes tomatoes. Just like I do.

Played the whole trilogy back to back and this is still probably the best in the series. The pacing is good. Each chapter has it's own build-up and climax. The not so smooth animations actually adds to the creepy and disturbing vibe. Not many other games tackle themes of depression and suicide as well as this game.

I played this game when i had a really bad time. I was a lot of thinking about commiting suicide,but when i played this game it helped me understend that even if you have the worst day in your life next day can be much better. Now i won't commit it. And if you having a bad day just try to have your cup of tea...

I had heard about this game for quite some time, but I was initially put off by its visual style. However, when I finally gave it a try, it quickly grew on me. The game creates a compelling atmosphere with its mix of real-life photos, hand-drawn images, accent colors, and lighting. What surprised me the most was its use of 'cutscenes.' Despite the game's stylistic and engine limitations, they are quite expressive and interesting. The music is another highlight - it sets the tone perfectly and is quite memorable. Some of the tracks have been living in my head rent-free for a few days now. The voiceover, even if not entirely professional, adds character to the game. Maybe it's the norm for adventure games to have it, but I'm mostly used to blips and bloops in games like Undertale. As for the gameplay, I'm not usually a big fan of this aspect in adventure games. I prefer atmosphere and story more. However, in this game, it's straightforward - no pixel hunting and no convoluted moments, which is a plus for me. The story is fun and interesting to follow. The main characters are likable and have some heartwarming moments. My only gripe is the lack of personality or motivation for the antagonist characters, which is something you'd expect in these kinds of stories. Also, don't expect all your questions to be answered or explained - it's more about the journey than the destination. Nevertheless, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience. Considering it's quite an old game now, it would be fun to check out other games by this developer. If you don't mind darker stories that touch on sensitive matters, give it a try.
