The Cat Lady

The Cat Lady is a psychological horror graphic adventure videogame developed by Remigiusz Michalski and Harvester Games and published by Screen 7. If you want to spend a nice couple of hours on a worthy game and be told a truly unnerving story that will leave you thinking long after it’s over, here it is. This simple keyboard control method with captivating stylized artwork follows the story of a chronically depressed 40-year old woman who’s already on the verge of suicide. Players will play as this protagonist, Susan Ashworth, as she sets out on an unforgettable and unexpected journey exploring a strange place in death where she encounters the Queen of Maggots, making her immortal and giving her tasks like getting rid of five psychopaths referred to as the “parasites”. The Cat Lady contains strong adult themes such as depression, suicide, murder and cancer but it does not fail to provide moments of hope. Fragile and yet so strong. Flawless. Pictures emotions and sounds completing each other so perfectly. A rare creation, a unique study on human behavior that exposes instincts, fears, desires that most people would not even care to admit to themselves.
