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…
Susan’s few weeks journey doesn’t take her across the world and won’t turn her into a hero. She has little faith in others and hardly even cares about herself. She can’t fight and has never fired a gun in her life. But she’s hanging onto that thin thread of hope, that in the end, as promised, there’s an elusive reward waiting for her. Something worth trying for. Something that’ll help her find an unlikely friend. Something that’ll give her life a purpose. Susan’s journey takes her on a roller-coaster ride between the world of the living and the world of the dead, where the only way to survive is to overcome her biggest weakness: her own self.

* Amazing contemporary horror story.
* Doesn't scare you out of nothing.
* Gives you nightmares.
* For mature players.
The Cat Lady is a bittersweet story. It starts with suicide, anger, horror, pain, violence and despair. But it is all worth. You begin with no empathy for this sad bitter woman with strange habits. She looks like a coward who tried to kill herself, a person with no value. But then, just like it happens with a “cat person”, you begin to understand her, to identify with her, and by the end, you will even love her. This love is so pure that she becomes a beautiful person; even so she is still the same person. It is a game about loving strange people, which is the same as saying that it is a game about loving people, period.
Conclusion: It is a beautiful game, and it is about people, good and bad people, but also real people. I recommend it for anyone who likes cats, dresses in black, and has no problem dealing with heavy issues. The antagonists are disturbing, mostly because they look so real. And the soundtrack fits perfectly.
