You can certainly learn if this is your first time out, but scooping up every item you can, trying different combinations, and not being sure why has become the nature of these types of games, which you don't exactly need to embrace here - you rarely have more than 10 items - but it's a different sort of game and thinking than what is the norm for folks, unless you're a devoted fan of the genre. That isn't inherently bad, but Kathy Rain has no tutorial and makes no concessions to newcomers.

Set in the mid-'90s, the game takes ample advantage of the time period to require using awkward or emerging technologies from that time period: There are a few puzzles involving tape recorders, scanners, and even an IT department more interested in hacking than helping students. There's good writing and some clunky acting, but both serve a noir story with a semi-modern twist. All Rights Reserved.This game is a strong, healthy, faithful throwback to classic point-and-click adventures that were extremely popular in the late '80s.
