The Cat Lady

released on Dec 01, 2012

Susan Ashworth, known in her neighbourhood as the crazy Cat Lady, is a lonely 40- year old on the verge of suicide. She has no family, no friends and no hope for a better future.One day she discovers that five strangers will come along and change everything.But those five, "The Parasites", are also the most ruthless, deranged and cold-blooded bunch of psychopaths the city has ever known. They will stop at nothing to hurt Susan. Unless, she hurts them first... Susan's few weeks journey doesn't take her across the world and won't turn her into a hero. She has little faith in others and hardly even cares about herself. She can't fight and has never fired a gun in her life. But she's hanging onto that thin thread of hope, that in the end, as promised, there's an elusive reward waiting for her. Something worth trying for. Something that'll help her find an unlikely friend. Something that'll give her life a purpose. Susan's journey takes her on a roller-coaster ride between the world of the living and the world of the dead, where the only way to survive is to overcome her biggest weakness: her own self.

As far as bullshit point and click-types go, this is a good one. I like the characters and dialogue a lot

First time I played I couldn't finish it. I stopped at the pest control chapter, was playing with my grandma who had terminal cancer at that time so it got too close to home to keep playing it... As a suicidal person, like Susan herself, and battling with this invisible desease I can connect with every single aspect of this story, the way it was composed, the enviroments and characters, and the love of my life Mitzi, like they nailed everything from a point and click perspective, the puzzles are interestings and mostly fun to go with, the references are great, I just can't get enough of it. I feel like I missed out by taking such a long time to finish this one, but I love it.

I don't know, maybe I was affected by it a bit too much. Normally you'd be grateful for being able to put yourself in a characters shoes, but suppose it can also backfire. What a twisted game.

Disturbing, weird graphic style that I loved so much, some just sick scenes but still with some quiet emotional moments. Never had the feeling that it was just about shocking but that the horror always served a purpose. The relationship between the two main characters really got to me. Puzzles are less challenging, it's more about story and atmosphere.

I loved this game! The style was unique, the story was interesting, and it made me feel some things I didn't expect it to. Definitely don't underestimate this game, It's 100% worth it.

A phenomenal game with some minor issues that were largely fixed in Burnhouse Lane
