Set in 1998, the game follows private investigator Kathy Rain as she takes on the Soothsayer case: a string of serial murders in Kassidy. With money running out, she pursues the reward for identifying the killer.
Explore locations, inspect objects and documents, and question people as you follow leads. Point-and-click interactions and inventory puzzles make investigation the core of play, while conversations can uncover useful information.
Kathy's notebook tracks findings and investigation threads as the case expands across varied locations and a large cast. Puzzles ask you to connect evidence and use items, with the story building through voiced scenes and hand-drawn cutscenes.
Players who enjoyed the game often praised its detailed pixel art, atmospheric presentation, and puzzles that felt logical and tied to the investigation. Reviews also appreciated Kathy's dialogue and the notebook and hint features. Reactions to the story were more divided: some found the mystery compelling, while others disliked its supernatural direction or felt the ending was abrupt or unsatisfying.
