Kathy is a strong-willed journalism major who must come to terms with her troubled past as she investigates the mysterious death of her recently departed grandfather.

Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of cigs, and a notepad, Kathy delves into a local mystery surrounding her hometown that will take her on a harrowing journey of emotional and personal turmoil.

As she follows a trail of clues left by her grandfather, questions emerge: What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago? What turned him into a mere shell of a man, confined to a wheelchair? What secret did a suicidal young artist take with her to the grave, and why are so many people in Conwell Springs going mad? The truth is dark, sinister, and yours to uncover…

Got it at the latest steam sale. Nice little point 'n click adventure with spoken monologue. Most of the puzzles are quite straightforward. Only 1 or 2 real head scratchers. If you're into some lovecraftian vibes, then

Got this in a bundle with Kathy Rain 2 and played it again to refresh my memory. The game and story are still very good as is the voice acting. The game has a bunch of QOL improvements that make the directors cut worth
