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 Review
The best thing about the 90s was obviously the fashion.

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!). The pixel art graphics are nice enough, and for the most part the systems work well. That all said for some the story will get too strange too fast, and due to the streamlined nature of the puzzles it’s inevitable that most players will have no trouble solving them. Nevertheless I finished Kathy Rain in 6 hours and I was very happy with all of them, and I’m already eagerly awaiting another adventure from Clifftop. Just make it a joint detective partnership with Kathy and Eileen please?
