The Cat Lady
What a masterpiece of a game. Wow.
Art, original music, and writing are all superb. Graphics could have been more detailed, but the art style makes the graphical detail (resolution) not as important, and even more fitting in a way for the darker and grainier feel to the game. Voice acting is some of the best I’ve heard in a game making all the characters believable and worthy of your investment in them. Especially the main female protagonist, who is very unique for the gaming world and isn’t constrained by the typical gaming tropes.

The Cat Lady… Perhaps a boring game for many, but when you get into it, and you really understand the story, believe me, you can’t stop playing it, and it intrigues you to know what fate and death have saved for Susan Ashworth, a solitary and depressive woman, whose only company in life are the cats, whom she calls while playing the piano to see them and feed them; the only beings in the world who seem to understand her and diminish her grief, even knowing that they don’t speak, and they’ll never answer her, at least, not in words. Susan is fully convinced that life doesn’t make enough sense to her; is convinced that no one needs her, and no one will miss her the day she ceases to exist. After her suicide attempt, she has a new opportunity to live (..to live..), and she has an opportunity to do the right thing and eliminate people who, according to the old woman named “The Queen of Maggots”, are Parasites, the scum itself, and that they have no right to continue living, ‘cause of the damage and pain they cause in other people. Susan cannot refuse, and for this, she has been granted a gift, coveted and desired by many, too much for others, and utterly disastrous and meaningless for Susan: Immortality.

Marcella Moon: Curse of the Black Cat
This is certainly the best game in the series so far! It has more gameplay and puzzles than the others. This is the first game to have voice acting, and I think it did well. The story feels a bit more personal than the others, too, since Marcella’s mother and roommate are both present. If you liked the other games in the series, you’ll like this one.

This was a really cute and enjoyable game! It’s fun to play and quick enough to finish in one afternoon.
The small town setting is very quaint and there’s a nice atmosphere. I really liked the story line. It was well paced and there are some touching emotional elements and (kind of comedic) surprises! The soundtrack especially stood out to me, since it set the mood very well and was very pretty at times. The voice acting quality is also pretty good considering that this is an indie/one person developed game (which is very impressive!).
