Kathy Rain: Director's Cut News

For those who have yet to take this journey, we want to introduce you to the central figure of the story — Kathy herself! We think Kathy is a very special character, and here are some of the reasons why:

Kathy = Badass

• Rides a sweet hog
  
• Doesn’t take shit from anyone, no matter if they're law enforcement, biker thugs, or... [REDACTED].
• When the cause is just, Kathy bravely takes on anyone who stands in her way
  
• Fiercely protective of her family and friends… even when they’re annoying the hell out of her.
  
• I mean… just look at her. Enough said!
  

Kathy = Charming (when she needs to be)

• Even when met with hostility, Kathy can win over the grumpiest of adversaries!
  

Kathy = Shrewd

• No mystery is too cryptic for our gumshoe — she’ll get to the bottom of any puzzle!
  

(What, did you think we were just going to give you this one? ;) Remember, Kathy Rain: Director's Cut is launching on October 26th!)


We’re proud of how far Kathy has come since the original launch in 2016, and we're excited to show off her new scenes from the Director’s Cut when we launch on October 26th!

We’ve been seeing a lot of new faces on the Steam page, and for those of you who have yet to explore the world of Kathy Rain, we thought we’d give you a special little introductory tour of the quaint town of Conwell Springs. (Returning visitors may want to skip this one.)

So, without further ado, welcome to beautiful Conwell Springs! As your tour guide to our idyllic town, allow me to point out some of the destination highlights we’ll be visiting on our trip.



While Kathy’s university dorm is not technically located in Conwell Springs, it's the perfect starting point for our tour — and we’re in luck! The two ladies are in today, giving us a peek at their day-to-day. Notice the duality of the room — Kathy and her roommate Eileen have contrasting preferences, to say the least!



Next on our stop is the home of Mary-Elizabeth Rain, Kathy’s grandmother on her father’s side.

This old farm house has lots to explore and uncover, much of which hint at the shared past between Kathy and her grandparents, and the life her grandfather led before his earthly departure.

No trip to the Rain residence would be complete without a peek in the attic full of discarded treasures — plenty to find for intrepid mystery hunters.

While we only have time for a cursory glance today, make sure you return to explore all the nooks and crannies!



The Conwell Springs Cemetery has plots that harken back hundreds of years. It sports the Price Mausoleum, an imposing architectural structure, and this area is the final resting place of Joseph Rain, Kathy’s late grandfather. (Kathy also thinks it’s a pretty good place for a smoke).



The last stop on our tour (but certainly not the last place to explore in Conwell Springs) is the local Sheriff’s Station. This impressive building houses a number of pieces of medieval art, a complimentary cup of coffee, and a longtime suffering officer by the name of Lenny. Best to not linger here long, else we’ll earn the ire of Conwell Springs’ Sheriff.

Come visit Conwell Springs to discover many other sites, like a cozy cabin by the lake, the downtown core, and, recently opened to the public, the majestic Parowan Peak where you can take in the breathtaking view from its clifftop.

See you later this month when Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut launches right here on Steam!

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:

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:

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:

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:


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 as we will be taking a deep dive into the game right here on Steam.
