Not sure if there has been a thread here yet, but I just discovered this amazing game.
The Cat Lady (TRAILER) is a horror/adventure game about a woman that lives alone, with her cats (funnily enough), unemployed, alone, no reason to live. In the opening scene of the game she commits suicide. She wakes up in a strange world where an old woman (The Queen of Maggots) sends her back to exact vengeance on "Parasites", various serial killers that are running around the city. The game is heavy on the story but has the puzzle elements of a point-and-click game (though all on the keyboard). Great voice acting, soundtrack and amazingly creepy atmosphere. Kinda like Silent Hill crossed with The Crimson Room. Don't play the game in the dark... just don't.
It's only for windows though I've heard it works on mac. There's a few Let's Play walkthroughs of it on youtube too if that's your thing. The game is mostly story so you don't miss out on much but the puzzles and alternate choices.
The Cat Lady is a new, critically acclaimed horror adventure game by designer R. Michalski (Author of Downfall, 2009). A gripping story, pumping soundtrack, high-resolution artwork and voice acting will engross you on your journey through the strange and often terrifying world of The Cat Lady.
Susan Ashworth, known in her neighbourhood as the crazy Cat Lady, is a lonely 40-year old on the verge of suicide. She has no family, no friends and no hope for a better future.
One day she discovers that five strangers will come along and change everything... But those five, "The Parasites", are also the most ruthless, deranged and cold-blooded bunch of psychopaths the city has ever known. They will stop at nothing to hurt Susan. Unless, she hurts them first...
