Indie publisher Raw Fury Games has released the first trailer for Clifftop Games’ Kathy Rain, a point-and-click adventure in the classic tradition, starring an amateur detective with a very sweet bike. Here’s the plot synopsis:
”Kathy Rain tells the compelling story of a strong-willed college girl with a knack for detective work and a Harley who returns to her hometown after being gone since childhood. Set in the 90’s, Kathy starts investigating a local mystery and the legacy of her recently deceased grandfather.”
”As she follows a trail of clues he left behind, 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 and sinister.”
Those pixel graphics and, well, basically the fact there’s a cool Harley in it remind me of the good old days of playing Full Throttle on my ancient wreck of a PC. The tone here’s very different, obviously, but it’s good to see studios still keeping the genre alive.
The game’s coming to PAX Prime on August 28, so we should find out more then.
