The Cat Lady

amazing underrated game, its all a big mystery and puzzle tho so details are important to make it through. i definetly recommend playing it

Loved the badass protagonist and the great music! Detracted a bit by slightly annoying control scheme (I played on Steam Deck) and the story that took quite a while to get going (the early chapters were easily the most boring part of the game). Solid recommend for anyone looking for a good, not-very-scary horror that doesn't rely on jumpscares to maintain the atmosphere!

The Cat Lady looked like a simple point-and-click adventure turned out to be one of the most emotionally honest portrayals of depression and survival I've ever experienced in a game. Susan Ashworth is a beautifully flawed protagonist, and watching her story unfold across those surreal, haunting chapters genuinely stayed with me long after the credits rolled. The mismatched art style — rough hand-drawn characters against photorealistic backgrounds — feels jarring at first, but by the end it feels like the only way this story could have been told. Mitzi is an absolute highlight, and the soundtrack hits harder than it has any right to. Fair warning: the game can crash if you alt-tab, and there's no autosave, so save often. If you're in a stable headspace and want something that will crack you open in the best possible way, absolutely play this.
