Kathy Rain works best when you play detective and the game usually rewards you for such initiative, like asking the right people about certain places, or searching for names in a phone book. I'd buy a sequel any day.Speaking of which, seasoned adventureres will likely breeze through this one, not that it takes away from the ingenuity involved. Hope we will be see of Kathy Rain in the future. This is probably the most Lynchian adventure game to date, with some neat little nods to Gabriel Knight and Full Throttle as well. The game reminds me of Twin Peaks (the early 90s TV series by David Lynch) in many respects. I really liked the notepad system for the dialogues and there were some very ingenious puzzle ideas (e.g. The puzzles were a bit on the easy side, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. While there was some intruiging development for the character of Kathy Rain, not much of the actual mystery is uncovered, which is a bit of a letdown after the captivating premise. The story kept me interested too, although the ending feeled a bit rushed and unsatisfactory. Well, I'm glad to say I really love this game, mostly for its characters (Kathy, Eileen and Goober were really fun, really brought to life by the amazing voice actors and expressive portraits), its atmosphere (moody backgrounds and music) and mid-90s setting.
I immediately got Kathy Rain when it came out, it took me some time to finally play and finish it, though. I'm guessing that ending means we won't be seeing the last of Kathy Rain or the Crimson One? It just seems like there's more questions now than when I started playing the game. What did burning the flowers have to do with anything? Were the souls of the dead stuck in the flowers or something?ĭon't take this the wrong way, I really enjoyed the game and it felt like I was really solving a mystery. Wasn't there a grey version of him? (when Kathy was dreaming one night she had a dream and the bald guy was grey) I think in one of the dreams there was a red and a grey guy talking to each other. Was that boy Kathy's son? Did she have an abortion? Is the Crimson One like some kind of servant to a cthulhu like god? Didn't Joseph (or Lily) say there was more than one those Crimson guys? How come the Crimson One didn't try to stop Kathy burning the flowers, it seemed a little anti-climactic after he appeared on the tv screens. I mean I guess that was probably the intention but it still felt a little unsatisfying because of how cryptic it was.
