Originally released in May 2016 where is gathered only a modest attention, but won over fans of the genre over time thanks to its compelling story, excellent voice acting, and clever puzzles. Kathy Rain eventually found its audience, achieving over 1.2 million users on Steam alone. The original wasn't supported on Linux but this expanded and improved edition of it is.

What are the people of Conwell Springs hiding? With limited technology, Kathy will have to use her wits alongside her notepad and trusty motorcycle to reveal this deeply personal mystery."

Looks quite similar to the awesome Full Throttle - I played through its remaster a year or so back. I'll definitely take a look at this.

Quoting: scaineLooks quite similar to the awesome Full Throttle - I played through its remaster a year or so back. I'll definitely take a look at this.

I found it quite different - but very good. It's way more to read. :)

It's nothing like Full Throttle, scaine.

In fact, it's a blatant rip-off of Gabriel Knight. Ill adjusted protagonist? Check. Rides motorcycle? Check. Foreign name in the family changed to English? Check. Parent mystery? Check. Grandma? Check. Grandma's attic? Check. Police station right at the start? Check. Divided into days? Check. I could go on.

I'm enjoying it, mind, but the similarities are mind-boggling. It starts off very linear, with a very limited number of locations that expands slowly as you do stuff, so that's different from GK. That one was quite overwhelming from the off.

I never played any GK games, so that won't bother me. Loved Broken Sword series though and I've mentioned Full Throttle, of course.
