Kathy Rain news & patch notes

Greetings, Detectives! We’ve got exciting news: Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is launching on May 20th! 🎉 In less than a month, we’ll be diving into Kathy’s most challenging case yet. A murderer is on the loose, and it’s up to you to use your wits to solve the mystery. Ready to crack the case? 🔎 While you can jump straight into Kathy Rain 2 without playing the first game (in fact, there is a summary of the first game right off the top of the second), we highly recommend checking out Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut for the full experience! This is just the beginning of an incredible adventure, and none of it would be possible without your amazing support. We can’t thank you enough for being with us on this journey! Don’t forget to add Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer to your wishlist to stay in the loop and get all the updates when the game drops on May 20th! See you soon, Gumshoes! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466390/Kathy_Rain_2_Soothsayer/

Hello, Gumshoes! Our demo, refined from our previous Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer version, is out now to try during Steam Next Fest! If you need a little help getting on your investigative hats, there is a spoiler-free walkthrough HERE to access and get you moving again! For those worrying that you'll be lost in the sequel - worry not! Before you begin you can get a recap of the first game and/or watch our new BRIDGING THE GAP video for a brief rundown! Happy hunting and remember to keep one eye to the shadows - a killer could be lurking around the corner! Don't forget to wishlist, it's super helpful for getting the word out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466390/Kathy_Rain_2_Soothsayer/ Sincerely, Your favorite informants ;)

Eight long years after launching the original Kathy Rain, we couldn’t be more excited to give you a first glimpse of Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer! Check out the demo on Steam NOW: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466390/ If you enjoyed this brief foray into the new world of Kathy Rain, don’t forget to wishlist the full game! We'd love to keep you updated on the road to launch next year. In this long-awaited sequel, we have taken an ambitious step from the original small-town mystery to a dark urban thriller. This chapter of the Kathy Rain saga takes place in 1998 in the metropolitan city of Kassidy, at a time when it’s been brought to its knees through a string of murders by the notorious serial killer nicknamed the “Soothsayer”. When a big cash reward is announced, struggling private eye Kathy Rain is quick to get on the case! Hop on Kathy’s trusty bike, the Katmobile, explore the city to gather clues, interrogate persons of interest, track down the killer and finally put an end to Kassidy’s horror... Soothsayer is a direct sequel to Kathy Rain, so you can count on seeing some familiar faces! Our ambition is to create the ultimate sequel, a bigger and better experience that draws from what made the first game truly special whilst still innovating in new and exciting ways! More will be revealed over the next few months, so stay tuned right here on Steam! ~ Clifftop Games and Raw Fury

Last week one of the games in our Raw Fury family just won the A.MAZE 2022 Festival award for worldbuilding and immersive storytelling - that game is NORCO! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967998/abc9170755d0cf6ec50bd3838c64e3483365ac03.gif We thought you'd want to know since NORCO and Kathy Rain have a lot in common - they both feature beautiful pixel art guided by a point & click mystery that has a deep narrative you can sink into and one that sinks into you whilst staying with you for a long time. Check out what people are saying about NORCO here 👇 Thanks for your support for Kathy Rain and we hope you'll enjoy NORCO! - Raw Fury Team

Returning players who finished Kathy Rain will know that it is a great game for the spooky season, but for the rest of you: Let's just say that there's plenty of creepy to go around! ;) To celebrate, we've got a special message from Arielle (the voice of Kathy) to talk about the features of this new version: - Clifftop Games

Welcome to our TED talk, highlighting the changes and upgrades to Kathy Rain in its Director’s Cut. A lot of people have been asking us what the differences are between the original and the upcoming version, so we wanted to highlight some of the major reasons that it's worth returning to Conwell Springs! Added Locations: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/cc1994ff204e98557a5214fa2b22af41c8eb91ed.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/787fc3fad15bf231476482caa2ae770222080f12.jpg There is more to love in Conwell Springs as new and returning players will have the chance to explore brand new areas of Kathy’s hometown. Each new location features stunning backgrounds as seen in the examples above! Added Puzzles: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/f126b38ca70735a79180b91d10fb1e7c5d64118d.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/4590650930200ffe6cad65fb9fb8f503a583f28f.jpg What’s a good point-and-click mystery without its challenging puzzles? Kathy Rain had some doozies and the Director’s Cut is bringing more of those challenges that will tease your brain. Extended Ending: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/363e30ef173e32c65df01a87a9bbe8689f1e2eca.jpg OK, the above image is a bit of a tease and we don’t want to spoil anything, but players returning to Kathy Rain can expect some new twists and turns to the ending that help flesh out Kathy’s character and the story as a whole. Aspect Ratio: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39248613/a9969ae9baf3c7b24c57d40ac635b66d90096d8f.jpg Kathy Rain is expanding from 4:3 to 16:9. This means that there will be more details to explore as the Director’s Cut will fill up your screen! Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut is launching in October of this year — make sure it’s on your wishlist on the Director's Cut Steam Page as we will be taking a deep dive into the game right here on Steam. - Clifftop Games

Today we announced our plans for the Loyalty Discount for all original game owners! Everyone with the original Kathy Rain in their Steam library will get a -50% Discount on the purchase of the Director’s Cut. This Loyalty Discount has no expiration date and will multiply with any other price reductions on the Director’s Cut, including a likely launch discount. You can rest assured that at any given moment, you can upgrade your classic version to the Director’s Cut for the cheapest price available! You’ll notice that this is the first time we’ve shown one of the new locations and the bike designs — just a small slice of the new content coming in the Director’s Cut, so be sure to jam that wishlist button like it was a bike throttle!

Can you believe it? Kathy Rain’s 5th anniversary is today! We’ve been so hard at work on the Director’s Cut version of the game this momentous occasion nearly passed us by. Luckily, another Clifftop Games character remembered… If you enjoyed your adventure with Kathy and are looking forward to the next iteration coming out this year, try Whispers of a Machine! We’ve got exciting news about the Director’s Cut coming in the next few months, so you'll want to make sure you add that to your wishlist now and keep up to date (especially for those that own the original Kathy Rain HINT HINT)

We’re thrilled to announce the Director’s Cut of the award-winning adventure Kathy Rain — the new and definite way to experience the rise of an iconic detective. In the almost five years since Kathy Rain launched, we’ve been blown away by the reception of the game and the passion of the community. Thanks to everyone that has played the game so far, given feedback and shared their experience! All of this has led us to our mission to create a refined and expanded version of Kathy Rain, created from the ground up in a modern, up-to-date game engine. We have taken everything we’ve learned during these years to give you the most complete realization of Kathy’s journey yet. Once again, a detective is born... For both new and returning visitors to Conwell Springs, there’s lots to look forward to...

• Extended storyline with a prolonged ending, hundreds of lines of additional dialogue, and multiple new areas to explore.
• Several new major puzzle chains along with many small additions and tweaks of existing puzzles.
• Enlarged game environments to fill up the entire screen without any black bars on the sides.
• Countless visual improvements, such as more character animations, better lighting/shadows and extra weather effects.
• Streamlined mouse controls with an intuitive single click interface.
• Controller support done right. Lean back in your chair and take smooth direct control of Kathy, with no messy cursor getting in the way.
• Expanded and remixed soundtrack by the original composer, Daniel Kobylarz.
• Five brand new motorcycle designs to unlock and customize the Katmobile with.

We’ve still got more to show of Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut, so stay tuned. We’d appreciate you wishlisting the game to show both us and Steam that you’re looking forward to playing! Wishlist Now {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11113042/0b282bfcaf3a57a2179bae919aa33690415f65e3.png

Take a ride to the cloudy, remote town of Nordsund, bring your best trench coat, and enter a near-future where artificial intelligence has been banned and made taboo by society. Or so we thought… https://youtu.be/9D4ZMe6AtQk Whispers of a Machine is the sophomore release from Clifftop Games and Faravid Interactive, and it’s available now on PC and mobile. It tells the gripping tale of Vera, a special agent investigating a murder with the use of cybernetic augmentations. But as one thread pulls and the tale unravels, she finds that the truth may be more complicated (and more dangerous for humanity) than it seems. Want a quick primer of what to expect? Check out the video below! https://youtu.be/Nm8fZDUL5-Y We’re distinctly honored and proud to release Whispers of a Machine into the wild as the second game from Clifftop Games to grace our portfolio. Kathy Rain was a powerful example of how the point-and-click adventure genre can enable excellent storytelling and puzzle-solving in a graceful and mature manner; and Whispers is no exception. It has been a thrill getting to this point, and we can’t wait to hear what you all think! https://store.steampowered.com/app/631570/Whispers_of_a_Machine/
