The Cat Lady

[dumpling]

I'm a little late on this, but I just got finished watching a Let's Play on YouTube and was happy to see it here. I finished the game a while ago, but it was refreshing to watch someone else play it and see their experience out of it.

Some events during the game for me personally knocked me off my equilibrium, as they were pretty disturbing. But I appreciate a medium that doesn't rely on jumpscares (although those can be just as good), and more relying on the atmosphere. I'm used to seeing the dime-a-dozen jump-scare horror games, which this game has occasionally, but overall the atmosphere and mood I think made it interesting, and different from what I'm used to seeing.

Has anyone played the game Downfall, by the same developer? I'm guessing that The Cat Lady was its spiritual successor, as one of the character's from Cat Lady is the protagonist (which explains a lot of his backstory and make sense of events in The Cat Lady with him). That game was quite disturbing as well.

Overall, I'd recommend it. I'd just warn anyone willing to play it that there are some pretty disturbing graphics and topics that aren't for people who will be deeply affected by it. Still, I think it's worth a try.
