Game Review: The Cat Lady

The Cat Lady is a psychological horror graphic adventure game developed by Remigiusz Michalski released on December 2012 in English. It is an indie game made using Adventure Game Studio

 First, I must say that this is a game you either love or hate. I think there is no middle way here.  I don’t just like it- I love it.

In this game you play as character named Susan Ashwort, a chronically depressed, middle-aged woman with no friends- except maybe just cats. 

Now- if you want to play this game- STOP here. This is a serious spoiler alert.  You don’t want to spoil yourself fun of playing this game.

The game starts with your suicide. Yes- a suicide. You end up in a limbo kind of place where you meet the queen of Maggots that offers you a job. Well- we can call it a job. You must kill some parasites. That’s how she calls some people that really deserve to die. She brings you back to your old life and now you are immortal. Parasites can kill you, but- you will be back!

So- what are the things I loved the most about this game? Well- I would probably say the story line. It is absolutely fantastic. The whole idea behind the game, all the things that happen to Susan, her friendship with Mitzi, all the deranged people that she kills in the game and of course- music.

I was playing this game for hours and never had enough of it. I can’t describe how I felt in the end of the game when I first saw colors, because you are constantly playing in black and white world, with occasional drops of red. If you have suffered from depression in the past this game will hit you hard. If you wanted to know how a suicidal person feels this game is like walking in her shoes.

If you like deep and emotional games- you should try this one.

Anime review: Highschool of the Dead

It is anime series based on a manga series written by Daisuke Satō and illustrated by Shōji Satō. The story follows a group of high school students caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It consists of 12 episodes, I think they will make season 2 because manga goes way further that anime, and also there is no particular ending, it just mostly follows same story and events as in manga series and I think it would be ok if they continue to do so, because I find it to be quite a good show. Story is that one day zombie apocalypse breaks out, none knows why, handful of students from High-school survive the outbreak of the virus. They travel through Japan is search of safe place and to find a cause of all that mess. I think Japanese people are kinda hooked to those zombi plots, Resident Evil started it all. It's almost the same as RE, zombies are slow, hungry, and virus spreads if you get bitten. Band of students is very colorful. It consists of school nurse, nerd, kendo master, two ordinary girls and one guy who is let's say main character, his name is Takashi Komuro. There are some sexual contents in the series, not too much, but enough to keep it interesting, every once in a while we see boobs jumping, panties showing, or some funny perverted scenes, it think, it's common stuff in manga and anime today, it's not bothering me, I find it kinda funny and interesting. I would recommend HOTD to all anime lovers, it's funny, action packed, storyline is great, there is also a lot of violence so I would not recommend it to younger audience, all in all great anime. Blu-Ray version is beautiful, animation is stunning, so pick it up and if you don't mind few perverted moments, enjoy this zombie killing, ass kicking piece of greatness
