And super-girls don't cry...



UPDATE: Still on the fence about Kathy Rain? Take a Rain-check and try the FREE <span class="bold">Kathy Rain Demo</span> before making up your mind.



<span class="bold">Kathy Rain</span>, a mystery adventure set in the 90's and styled after them, is now available for pre-order for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% pre-order discount.

Coming back to your hometown after a longtime absence is bound to bring forth some mixed feelings. Even more so for Kathy Rain, the rebellious college-girl who returns to Conwell Springs only to find out that her recently deceased grandfather has left behind clues to a sinister mystery. Strange happenings and morbid discoveries lead Kathy to believe that she has stumbled upon something terrible that tormented her grandad and still causes a lot of grief to the locals.

As an aspiring journalist, Kathy is determined to dig up this well-kept secret, no matter how many lies, twisted puzzles, or painful emotions she will have to navigate. And when a biker girl sets her mind on something, you know there's no stopping her.



Pre-order <span class="bold">Kathy Rain</span> and help her uncover the dark truth that has plagued her sleepy hometown for years, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% pre-order discount will last until the game's expected release on May 5th.

So they all use the same engine, but have completely different system requirements?

Depends on things like resolution, and particle effects in some cases afaik.
Not all games made with this are pixel art, look at The Cat Lady for example: https://www.gog.com/game/the_cat_lady

To me they all look the same pixillated. :P And it's hard to imagine that a few particle effects can make such a difference (300 MHz vs. 2x2 GHz and 128 MB vs. 2 GB RAM). But anyway, I'm just wondering. :)

OK, that one at least seems to have a bit higher resolutions.

mrkgnao: If the 4,000+ lines of dialogue are anything like the first sentence of the description ("a Harley who returns"), I believe I shall pass.
Maybe they actually meant that she has both a knack for detective work and a knack for a Harley -- if that's the case, I see nothing wrong.

I was always under the impression that the developer/publisher was writing the game page description, at least for new games.

You are right, but they are humans like you and me (I hope).

I didn't for a moment intend to imply otherwise. I should have been more forgiving. I apologise.

And I did not see anything hinting towards an implication of that kind.

And you are correct :) The only exceptions to this rule would be 90% of the classic games in our catalog :)

This game made me realize something, 80's nostalgia seems to be fading out, while 90's nostalgia is setting in.

And it annoys me, because the 80's were great. But the 90's sucked.

Dear God I've become a grumpy old man.

PS: To be fair the 90's gave us the Spice Girls, so we can hold that against them.

Well I hope they're not. Just think of how cool that'd be.

Although rumours abound that say working at EA will cause you to mutate into some sort of morlock/mole-man hybrid.
