Kathy Rain: Director's Cut

This point-and-click adventure appealed to me with its atmosphere reminiscent of 90s games such as the Gabriel Knight detective series. Once again, I immersed myself in investigating a mystery that affected the family of the main character, Kathy. Gradually, we learn more and more details that paint a bizarre picture of the circumstances surrounding the case. The game has a lot of dialogue, but it is quite concise and we don't learn any unnecessary information that just overwhelms us and leads nowhere. Overall, I liked the game. At first, it's a bit difficult to get used to the Nintendo Switch controls, which are a little unconventional. But after a few screens, you get used to it and then there's no problem. I recommend the game.

Am I dreaming?” As she follows the trail of clues left by her grandfather, questions emerge: What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago?
