HG:
When I told Matt that we were going to see a new adventure titled Kathy Rain this Gamescom, he immediately said “That must be a detective story”, and it was.
Kathy Rain is a self-confessed love letter of its lead designer Joel Staaf Hästö to adventure games from the nineties. Actually, it might even be a love letter to the nineties itself, a time which lends itself far better for a good detective story than the world of today. Budding detectives could not look everything up on the Internet, cellphones were a rarity and to go somewhere you mostly used your own navigation skills.

Carl Williams writes, "Point and click adventures are not exactly synonymous with mobile devices and their smaller screens. That has not stopped many publishers from porting them over though. While we have seen this happen quite a bit with owners of many classic titles such as I Have No Mouth, Gabriel Knight, and a few others, it is also popular with more modern releases. One such modern release is Kathy Rain: A Detective is Born."
