I know game-specific sections of this forum are not the most frequented place on GOG, but I just wanted to share my joy. Here's a tweet from Mark: Good day it is!

That's a good news indeed. But first I should grab and play Downfall...

You can get it for peanuts here: http://www.quiethavenhotel.co.uk/.
Or you can wait for Desura version if you prefer : )
Or you can wait - I'll probably run a giveaway to celebrate info about the new game and have a copy of Downfall once it's somewhere you can generate a gift code :)

I hope this game will end up at GOG... Meanwhile I'm still playing Cat Lady and loving the script, graphics and atmosphere!

I'll add it to GOG wishlist as soon as I'll know the title :) And maybe prepare some campaign to get more votes :)
Meanwhile - you can check Downfall. It'll give you some insight into one of The Cat Lady scenes... and it's a nice little game :)

Thanks for that! I have discovered it's Harvester's first game - Downfall. I hope it's creepy as Cat Lady!

It's certainly gorier. Puzzles and controls feel more like a classic adventure game. Your character is much more... ambiguous than Susan.
I'd recommend you playing Downfall before you reach Day 6 of The Cat Lady. You'll see why when you play both :)

Thank you for a great tip. Although I just started Chapter 6 and so far it looks like the best one! Truly magnificent game - there hasn't been adventure game that interested me so much like this one!

So... don't visit your next-door neighbour before you've played Downfall :) Or you can if you want, but Downfall will be a pretty different experience after that :)

Ok... Thanks for forcing me to buy Downfall... But anyway, seriously thanks for letting me know that there is a good game out there that should be played. When I first looked at the screens at their website I thought it is adventure game in the spirit of Teen Agent (probably with less humor), so it's soft and teen friendly.... I'm too old for cute games like that with happy ending. I have played too many of them and now for a change I want to play something darker, more meaningful or something that makes you think (like TBS or good RPG). Anyway, thanks for spreading the word!
I hope that next game from Harvester will be even more successful!

Always happy to help :)

If there is anything that's NOT like Teenagent in the pnc adventure genre, it's Downfall. I played (and enjoyed to some point) both Phantasmagorias, Prenumbras, Amnesia and many other horror games... and it was Downfall where I said 'That's friggin' sick!' and 'No way they put this in a videogame' during my first hour of playing (and I'm sure you'll know what scenes I'm talking about).

For now I'm trying to get The Cat Lady some votes on Greenlight to keep Rem's spirit and motivation up :)

It's actually _much_ sicker than the Cat Lady, IMHO.
Like Novotnus said. :)

Just bought the game! When I will be able to access Steam Greenlight (I have some issues with Steam and DNS and DHCP settings....) I will definitely vote for Downfall! I played Amnesia too, but after an hour it gets not so scary anymore...

Thanks Novotnus for promoting good game!

WARNING! SPOILERS FOR BOTH, DOWNFALL AND THE CAT LADY SO DON'T READ IF YOU HEVEN'T FINISHED THEM YET



I've recently finished Downfall but unfortunately it's just an average game. Even less than average. What I absolutely love about the Cat Lady is that the game makes you think deeply about the depression, loneliness, terminal illness, friendship any more aspects of our everyday life. They are portrayed in a very twisted (in a good way!) and shocking way which force you (again, in a good way!) to muse over it. In Downfall, however, I didn't find anything like that. Sure, some common problems like anorexia are mentioned but you don't get any insight into it. You don't get anorexic person perspective here (that would as great as in the Cat Lady). All you get is a delusional psychopath perspective and frankly, there is nothing interesting nor original here.

Anyway I'm really glad that I played this game but mainly because I can fully understand and appreciate the cameo which appears in the Cat Lady. I absolutely love the part where you find a key in a black cat statue. It's a masterpiece!

Oh, and just one more thing: every time is see a puzzle where you have to retrieve a key from the other side of a door I wanna puke my guts out! GAH! That must be the most horrible cliché ever!

Even though I didn't enjoy this game very much I still hope that the next game will be as good as the Cat Lady.

SPOILERS CONTINUE!!!

After playing TCL I'd probably feel similar. Playing it some time ago, long before TCL, I have a really soft spot for it. Somehow it really made me feel like a guy loosing his sanity, locked in a strange place, followed by someone who thinks it's all a dream. I know it has flaws (mostly - it tells us very little about Ivy... and there were some nasty bugs, but they are gone in the newest release), but I still find it very enjoyable.
If you want to read more of my ramblings about Downfall, you're welcome!
Once I played all three Rem's games and counted all instances of "something inside a cat":
!!!HEAVY SPOILERS!!!
- (Parrot Snatchers - little, freeware comedy horror game) Lucas finds a key in his dead (natural death) cat's mouth,
- (Downfall) Joe kills the cat,
- (Downfall) Joe, in his nightmare, has to mercykill the cat and Ivy finds him doing it,
- (Downfall) Billy finds dead cat in Joe's (real) flat,
- (The Cat Lady) Susan mentions she hasn't seen Lucifer for some time,
- (The Cat Lady) Susan finds the key to Joe's flat in a cat statue,
- (The Cat Lady) If Susan says she entered Joe's flat because she's lost her cat, Joe says he's looking for a cat that swallowed his key).

Play Scrathes if you haven't yet :)
I hope it's going to be even better :)
