A hidden gem.. Not too many games touch on depression/ mental illness in such a blunt way like this game. 8/10 in my book I recommend if youre into darker games.

Beneath a bleak and twisted journey hides a deeply realistic psychological horror...
The Cat Lady portrays depression and anxiety with striking realism. This isn’t some romanticized, [i] 'sad-aesthetic-pinterest-bu♥♥♥♥♥it' [/i] take on depression... but the raw, silent struggle behind closed doors. The fight against your own mind, your own demons, where eeven the smallest failure can send everything crashing down
The game also dives into heavy themes like abuse, social anxiety, and the exploitation of authority. In a world where people are increasingly left to deal with their hardships alone, the game doesn’t sugarcoat or exaggerate these issues, it presents them in a way that feels disturbingly real. It forces you to experience the weight of the main character’s isolation and desperation, showing how easily one can become trapped in their own mind with no way out... [spoiler]at least, not the one Susan thought would free her....[/spoiler]

The cat lady is an incredible game with a dark, emotional story.
The black-and-white style, with touches of color, makes everything surreal and adds to the unsettling atmosphere, while the music and sound effects fit perfectly.
Playing as Susan Ashworth was an intense experience, I especially loved getting revenge on the awful people who hurt innocent victims, I liked bringing justice in such a brutal way ))
Instead of using cheap jumpscares, the game builds fear through its deep story and disturbing moments.
The only small downside is that it sometimes crashes when alt-tabbing, but that doesn't ruin the experience.
The cat Lady is a whole journey, it is one of my favorite games. And I love how in the end, Susan realizes life is beautiful and worth living. (It also has different endings !!)

Enjoyed this game thoroughly. I got lucky as I didn't remember that there was no autosave so I played until Chapter 3 and finally saved before I crashed (of my own fault, left the game window too quick). Great story, great main characters, great puzzles, everything is stellar. Highly recommend it to any that enjoy dark, horror games. Would just recommend to be in the right head space when playing it.

this game borders on unplayable with the amount of crashes im getting, but it's just so beautiful, from the story, the beautiful art and soundtrack, the atmosphere down to the message itself. the moment the prologue started i was hit with this wave of longing and unrest, it's just an instant favorite. shes literally me btw + i love the retro aesthetic
