"If you seek horror, The Cat Lady may sometimes freak you out, though probably not outright scare you. But that horror is in service of a touching character portrait--a portrait...

PC Master (Greece)

92 / 100
"A rare creation, a unique study on human behavior that exposes instincts, fears, desires that most of us would not even care to admit to ourselves. [February 2013]"

"Mature, gory and moody. This game from UK based developer Harvester Games is one of the best surprises we've had in a long time!"

The Cat Lady is an interesting visual novel. It made me realize that I could be $100 wealthier one day.

This game is really heavy emotionally and needs a lot of warnings, there are mentions of suicide, SA, torturing, kidnapping, terminal illness, child death and more. This isn't a "funny scary" game, it's more like a puzzle with a awefully emotional story in the background.

This game hits pretty hard. If you or anybody you know has dealt with depression, this game just... hits. But like Mitzi says, there is a beauty in the sadness. This is a game that is going to stick with me for a real long time and in the best way.
