After learning of her grandfather’s untimely passing, Kathy Rain, a strong-willed journalism student, returns to her hometown for the first time in many years to pay her respects — but things are not what they seem.

Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of smokes, and her sharp wit, Kathy soon discovers that the truth is more dark and sinister than she ever imagined… ----- CLASSIC NOSTALGIC GAMEPLAY An homage to timeless point-and-click adventure games like King’s Quest with beautiful hand-drawn pixel art design, complete with classic 4:3 resolution.
