Kathy Rain Reviews
If you like AGS adventure games, Kathy Rain shouldn't disappoint you. However, I hope that we'll eventually get a sequel that will answer questions raised by the conclusion of the first game.

Channeling in themes from Twin Peaks, Kathy Rain has its own story to confuse you with.
Despite a few loose ends and some annoyances, Kathy Rain is an intriguing mystery well worth your time.
All in all, Kathy Rain is a top notch game for Nancy Drew fans, mystery lovers or anyone who just loves sassy women on motorcycles.
Kathy Rain is a conventional graphic adventure in which the greatest weight of its appeal lies in its plot. Perhaps the puzzles are there almost in passing and are not up to what is required of a game of this genre, but knows how to compensate with other virtues, a sensational graphic section and a cast of very professional voices are responsible for completing the attractions of this work.

While there have been a great number of LucasArts-esque point-and-click adventure titles on Switch, not all of them have been created equal...
It’s not every day that a video game surprises me, and that is exactly what’s happened here. 'Kathy Rain' is engrossing for nearly all of its admittedly modest running time, even when it takes quirky trips into left field. It may wear its inspirations on its sleeve, but that makes it no less likeable or entertaining.
I loved what I saw of Kathy Rain at PAX East, and the finished product was more amazing than I thought possible. This is one of the best point-and-click adventures of the year, and Raw Fury should be immensely proud of their ability to bottle that retro lightning twice.
By all means, if you are ever in the mood for a gripping tale and yearn for the days of the classic point-and-click genre then I highly recommend giving Kathy Rain a playthrough.
A fantastic story well told, superbly presented. When it comes to point and click adventures on Steam, Kathy reigns.
[Kathy Rain] really sticks out as one of the best looking pixel art games I've played in a while
Kathy Rain, the original creation of Clifftop Games, isn't just a "very good indie point-and-click that captures the magic of the classics." This IS a classic. From the great puzzles, and how you are "guided" towards solving them, feeling like an investigator while at it, to the deeply engrossing story, strong atmosphere, and even stronger main character, it's easy to see that this is one of the best of its kind - and now it's even better. Kathy Rain: Director's Cut improves it in all sorts of ways, making it the clear choice between the two versions, even for those who have already played the first instalment.
Kathy Rain is a delightful little adventure game to add to the massive pile of fun adventure games released in the last couple of months. The puzzles are believable and interesting with some really clever computer hacking ones in there. The story is compelling and entertaining, and the characters are mostly wonderful – in particular the lead girls, Kathy and Eileen (I love you Eileen!).
Despite the complete curveball the plot gradually throws at you as it moves along, Kathy Rain is a great adventure game with a story that easily gets you hooked and a mystery filled with a grade-A level of challenge to tackle.
Kathy Rain: Director's Cut offers an intriguing mystery and lovely pixel art, for a game that still holds up five years after its initial release, though the Director's Cut doesn't add much of substance.
Kathy Rain is a '90s-inspired point-and-click adventure game that follows a college student on her journey of discovering her hometown secrets. Dealing with supernatural elements and old family secrets, the game provides plenty of fun puzzles and interesting characters to captivate fans of retro adventures.
A fairly brief game that's worth the time to play, but only if you can find answers for when you get stuck.
Kathy Rain: Director's Cut adds in some interesting additional content, but is fundamentally the same overall experience as its original release.
