It's a world that feels lived in and thankfully void of the types of convoluted puzzles that sank the genre in its heyday.Īlthough there aren't hundreds of puzzles here, the game instead hinges on a few dozen refreshingly complicated - but straightforward if you're thinking correctly - puzzles. Set in the mid-'90s, the game takes ample advantage of the time period to require using awkward or emerging technologies from that time period: There are a few puzzles involving tape recorders, scanners, and even an IT department more interested in hacking than helping students. There's good writing and some clunky acting, but both serve a noir story with a semi-modern twist. Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut is launching in October of this year - make sure it’s on your wishlist on the Director's Cut Steam Page as we will be taking a deep dive into the game right here on Steam.This game is a strong, healthy, faithful throwback to classic point-and-click adventures that were extremely popular in the late '80s.

This means that there will be more details to explore as the Director’s Cut will fill up your screen! Kathy Rain is expanding from 4:3 to 16:9. OK, the above image is a bit of a tease and we don’t want to spoil anything, but players returning to Kathy Rain can expect some new twists and turns to the ending that help flesh out Kathy’s character and the story as a whole.

What’s a good point-and-click mystery without its challenging puzzles? Kathy Rain had some doozies and the Director’s Cut is bringing more of those challenges that will tease your brain. Each new location features stunning backgrounds as seen in the examples above! There is more to love in Conwell Springs as new and returning players will have the chance to explore brand new areas of Kathy’s hometown. A lot of people have been asking us what the differences are between the original and the upcoming version, so we wanted to highlight some of the major reasons that it's worth returning to Conwell Springs! Welcome to our TED talk, highlighting the changes and upgrades to Kathy Rain in its Director’s Cut.
