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.

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.

Kathy Rain: Director's Cut adds in some interesting additional content, but is fundamentally the same overall experience as its original release.

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, 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: DIrector’s Cut is definitely the edition of the game anyone new to the title should play. It polishes up the original, keeps the original characterization, expands some of the plot, and adds some quality of life improvements that go a long way for this short adventure. If you’ve been craving an adventure game that stokes some old nostalgia of the 90’s and VHS tapes, then look no further.
