Throw out your ambien. Sleep aid without drugs.
This “game” is so gd boring I seriously play it at bedtime to help me fall asleep, and that says a lot, because I LOVE point & click adventures, and have loved almost every one I’ve ever played since Maniac Mansion. Here’s the kicker, I paid extra for the directors cut, only to get even more boring dialog, and sleepy music. Seriously, If you’re into point & click, pick this game last, because it is NOT an “adventure”. It’s a gd sleeping pill in app form.
The graphics are pretty bad, even for a retro game. The voice acting (reading from a page) is mostly awful, Kathy is one of the worst ones, and that fact gets much worse when you realize that dialog (voice acting) is most of the game, and she’s in all of it.
If navigating your way through a world absolutely drowning in clickable objects that have no impact on progress, but trigger bad voice acting to talk about things that you couldn’t possibly care about, and listening to the most boring dialog and corny jokes ever written, just to get a note in a notebook which can be used to trigger more boring dialog & bad jokes is your thing, then Kathy Rain: Director’s cut is for you. Otherwise read on.
