## What is Kathy Rain?

Kathy Rain: Director's Cut is a re-imagining of the classic 2016 point-and-click detective mystery set in the '90s.

In this investigative thriller, you will do things like:

• Collect clues and make deductions
• Analyze evidence
• Interrogate suspects
• Solve cryptic puzzles

All while moving from location to location on your sweet hog and getting into all sorts of trouble!

Kathy is a strong-willed journalism major who must come to terms with her troubled past as she investigates the mysterious death of her recently departed grandfather.

Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of cigs, and a notepad, Kathy delves into a local mystery surrounding her hometown that will take her on a harrowing journey of emotional and personal turmoil.

As she follows a trail of clues left by her grandfather, questions emerge: What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago? What turned him into a mere shell of a man, confined to a wheelchair? What secret did a suicidal young artist take with her to the grave, and why are so many people in Conwell Springs going mad? The truth is dark, sinister, and yours to uncover…

### 3/5 — A great game missing features

*2026-05-20*

It’s an awesome game if you like ’90s point and click adventures, but why is there no cloud save support? Games in the Apple ecosystem should always support cloud saves so we can play across multiple Apple devices. They should also include achievements and cross buy from iOS to macOS. The ecosystem will never be taken seriously if developers don’t support the features and benefits that make it cohesive.

### 5/5 — Une belle aventure

*2026-03-15*

Pour le amateur de Point’n’Click à la Full Throttle ou autres LucasArtsries, vous retrouverez votre madeleine de Proust dans une aventure aux accents de Twin Peaks évidents. L’histoire intrigue, même si on n’échappe pas à quelques poncifs. La prise en main et les énigmes sont « à l’ancienne », ni trop corsée, ni trop simple. J’ai pesté contre qques rigidités de l’interface, comme le fait de manquer certains dialogues en appuyant trop vite. Mais j’ai adoré !

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-06*

Why can't we have more of this type of game. It's thoughtful, with good characters and story line. I just love these retro style games that have a plot and challenging, yet solvable clues. Excellent stuff...more please

### 2/5 — Boring!

*2025-11-23*

I read all these great reviews about Kathy Rain and had high expectations.  After completing the first day, my feedback would be.” disappointing.” “ Boring”.  Then I start the second day and the first puzzle is solving a computer issue.  In real life, this has been one of the least enjoyable, most annoying, and exhausting tasks I have had to endure. Be it with a home computer or at work why in the world would I want to do this for fun? So now my feedback has to include words like “exasperating”. Annoying”. 4.99 I’ll never see again…

### 5/5 — Classic!

*2025-08-07*

A proper click adventure game with everything you can expect and hope for, from good dialogs, to captivating music, to quality of life features for those times when you end up with trial and error. 

Good mysterious story, decent UI, and a great homage to this genre.

More of this please!

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-10-05*

Big fan of adventure games.

### 1/5 — Grob gepixelte Grafik

*2023-06-02*

Das Spiel mag ja ganz nett sein, die Grafik ist wie beim Commodore 64!

### 5/5 — 재미있었음

*2023-04-15*

영어의 압박이 있음. 대부분의 퍼즐 난이도 보통. 후반부에 조금 고어한 연출이 있음. 전체적으로 스티븐 킹 소설 읽는 느낌.
