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]
The Cat Lady is simply one of the most beautiful horror adventure out there, something that goes beyond a videogame and yet a work of art that only a videogame could have delivered.

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!
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 that's authentically, poignantly askew.
The Cat Lady could be defined as a “non game”: it’s a beautiful, sad picture of our lives. Maybe one of the most interesting horror adventures around.
A deep, scary, fascinating adventure with a mind-blowing story, a great acting and a positive utilization of soundtrack; still, there are some little flaws in the plot, and the gameplay is quite classic. Anyway, long story short: this is a hell of a game.
Once or twice The Cat Lady made my heart race but the game would benefit from some more tweaking, especially when it comes to story coherence. [CD-Action 03/2013, p.63]
Obra maestra, este juego no es para todo el mundo pero si llegaste hasta acá, es porque te intereso aunque sea un poco, si es así no te vas a arrepentir de jugarlo. Es la historia mas adulta que he tenido el placer de disfrutar y sentirme identificado con algunas cosas, habla de la depresión principalmente y es el primer juego que la proyecta realmente bien y crea una atmosfera tan gris y triste.
Hablando de la parte jugable no tiene nada que envidiarle a ninguna aventura gráfica, sus puzzles están bien construidos y a la vez tienen una carga narrativa por la cual se puede conocer mucho mejor a los personajes ya que te das cuenta de muchos detalles. Tampoco tiene nada que envidiarle a un survival horror, la atmósfera es increíble y tiene un par de momentos que te hacen mirar atrás y comprobar que no hay ningún loco psicópata mirándote por la ventana.
Este juego esta lleno de momentos, escenas, diálogos, personajes e imágenes que se te quedaran grabados en la cabeza, un arte increíble sobresaliente en las partes mas gore y una música (o silencio) que mantiene en tensión al jugador o da momentos memorables como las escenas de acción.
En fin, a este juego le sobra personalidad, no puedo esperar mas para Lorelai.

A solid 7 for an enjoyable game, with flaws. If you are good with side scrolling games, basic graphics, then I would say give this a look. Music is nice, some of the backgrounds are really nice, it's easy enough and a nice diversion. Unfortunately, the UI can be clunky at times, and the story, a mix between serious adult themes and supernatural, tries to straddle both and not entirely successfully. To keep the story moving along and within the environment given, the story takes shortcuts or leaves subplots dangling. The story has some nice elements to it to stay interesting. All in all, I would say anyone who takes their gaming more seriously and likes something different, add this to your collection.

played around a bit, felt like I was getting taken for an expressionistic ride, with annoying basic point and click "puzzles". no confidence in it being either a decent game or a decent story. or at least not decent enough to justify the endless pacing back and forth.

this game is only for those that get stoked by lonely ladys tale
if u care for her lonely life and symphasize her situation, u will forget poor graphic and less impresssing gameplay mechanics. i dig into good story telling and appreciate game that put me in another persons shoes
but i didnt think this game had strong quality in terms of either narratives or characters
sub par game
