Good luck seeing this and grabbing it before then.
Kathy Rain is a point and click adventure game in the style of those old LucasArts/Sierra games from back in the day. And, if you’re really fast, you can grab it for free on Steam right now. All you have to do is log in, go here, and click Install Game. But you only have until 10am on May 7th to do it… which probably leaves you an hour and some change. Good luck with that.
Judging from its scores and reception, though, it’s definitely a good game, and worth making the effort to pick up. So you gotta try, right?
Set in the 90’s, Kathy Rain tells the story of a strong-willed journalism major who has to come to terms with her own troubled past as she investigates the mysterious death of her recently deceased grandfather. Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of cigs, and a notepad, Kathy begins to delve into a local mystery surrounding her hometown that will take her on a harrowing journey full of emotional and personal turmoil.
As she follows a trail of clues he left behind, questions emerge… What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago? What turned him into a mere shell of a man, confined to a wheelchair? What secret did a suicidal young artist take with her to the grave, and why are so many people in Conwell Springs going mad? The truth is dark and sinister…
