The Cat Lady

НАЖМИТЕ ЛЮБУЮ КЛАВИШУ, ЧТОБЫ ЖИТЬ

a great discovery of a game, i found this game while it was on sale and im glad to say that im happy i bought it! i'm someone who is horrible at puzzle games but surprisingly this was pretty easy to go through and figure out, i'm a huge fan of horror, there weren't many jumpscares but the imagery was a bit scary, some were a bit disturbing due to it being semi realistic but the art and animation is genuinly beautiful. this story was absolutely sad and it broke my heart going through every chapter, i even cried at the ending. such devastating story but with real life like situations and feelings. deppression is a main theme in this game and you can relate alot if you're someone going through a hard time but if you're not someone who goes through it, you can see how a person feels living with this mental illness. a story about life and death where you make choices of how you want the story to go, the music is really good too. i enjoy a bit of metal and rock music and one of my favorite songs were "dont you worry love" and "inside" by warmer. music sets just right for sad scenes and it made me feel like i was the character while playing. im going through some stuff myself and it made me open my eyes. this game is helped me see life in another way, in another persons view and given me good life advice i felt really emotional playing, this is the first puzzle/horror game i've ever sat down and actually finished. i highly reccomend this to others if they want a deep and amazing story. thank you for harvester games for making a masterpiece 🙏

Игра детства, хотя своим детям бы не рекомендовал её. Изначально смотрел прохождение, но решился пройти сам, вспомнить сюжет. Определённо это не кошмар на уровне Downfall, которую видел намного раньше (если не видели её, то вам повезло: столько шизы и выделений человеческой мерзости вы не видели). В игре даже представлен герой Downfall с женой, но этот момент слабо представляет какая вышеупомянутая игра. Ладно, слишком много не про Cat Lady. Игра чудесна в самом начале: героиня интересная, больница, чувство недоверия и опасности. Ближе к концу есть просадка в сюжете, встречи не вызывают большого интереса, а финал... будто уходит с персоны героини. Я понимаю как нам показывают развитие персонажа и почему финал такой, какой он есть, но что-то не то. Ощущаю, что иначе должно было быть. Геймплейно устарело выполнено, но на удивление я не бесился с управления, как это бывает в некоторых проектов даже новее. Сначала непривычно выбирать предметы стрелкой вниз, переключаться, но очень быстро даже не думал про это. Проходить на все достижения без гайда было бы неприятно, но возможно, система сохранений лояльная, да и всё работает внутри своих глав, не требуя отвечать за выбор в предыдущих главах. Для меня Cat Lady - это момент посмотреть на меланхолию, депрессию. Спасибо разработчикам за 3 главу, она подана как надо и в нужный момент. Попробуйте, история стоит [i]свеч[/i]...

как же я рыдала

The Cat Lady foi um dos jogos que eu sempre quis jogar desde criança, eu sempre gostei de temas a respeito de suicídio, morte, luto e afins, não me pergunte o porquê. Essa obra é muito especial para mim porque sempre me vi sob os olhos da Susan, é difícil ver jogos onde as personagens femininas são verdadeiramente solitárias e miseráveis, a relação de Susan e Mitzi me lembra um pouco de minha mãe e eu, em períodos diferentes de nossas vidas. É uma das narrativas que para mim representa fielmente a depressão, isolamento e misantropia com os elementos da Senhora das Larvas e os Parasitas. Por favor, dê uma chance para esse jogo, faria tudo para poder jogar ele sem saber nada do que acontece só pra ter o mesmo sentimento que tive antigamente vendo outros jogarem.

The writing and production in these games are, like, strangely competent given what other 2010-era horror adventure games I've played. The story lines themselves are definitely not as subtle or as reserved as something like Silent Hill or Amnesia, but the place that this game coming from is so eager and sincere that I really can't help but respect and admire it as a whole. I've played games like these that only really come off as corny or immature, but The Cat Lady, for whatever reason, manage to transcend that in my eyes. Again, there's an emotional core to this game that I really appreciate; That sincere, earnest, 2010-era perspective that seems completely alien in today's harsher, more post-modern climate. There's even a scene where this 20-something-year-old goth woman introduces Susan, the game's middle-aged, bitter protagonist, to the concept of "Facebook" and "Internet Trolls" (I get a real kick out of seeing scenes like these). It's a game that 's completely and utterly honest and direct in what it's trying to be about. And, after playing and watching so... so many games and movies like Silent Hill 2 or Mulholland Drive -- works that are more allegorical than outwardly explicit in it's thematic explorations -- it's really fascinating to play something so unapologetic in what it's trying to communicate and explore with the player. I also want to praise the visual aesthetics and tone of the game as well. Everything is grimy, dirty, and made of stock textures and free sound effects. It's looks and plays like a deluxe version of those flash horror games you'd find online. I love everything that's going on here. It's about an old cat lady who goes out and kills psychopathic murderers and kidnappers to scream-o music. Isn't that just metal as hell? There's a sequence in this game where Susan plays on this piano set she owns, and it starts this really fun cutscene where all these cats jump from rooftop to rooftop to eat the meals she's prepared for them as this gaudy music starts to play in the background. It's probably one of the most memorable gaming moments that I've seen this year so far.

with the increase in the number of cats living in my flat and as someone who has suffered from significant depression in the past i see a potential crazy cat lady aka Susan Ashworth in myself, oh the game? 10/10
