Patch v.1.0.3.4088 changelog

Hello investigators,

Thank you so much for all your feedback and bug reports — the first patch for Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is now live!

v.1.0.3.4088 changelog:


  • The inventory should now try its best to remember if it was opened or closed instead of hiding off screen as soon as you click on basically anything anywhere — that tends to happen every now and then in a point and click adventure
  • The library computer no longer features software from the 1960s and can now handle input characters beyond A-Z and 0-9
  • Fixed a number of instances of people making weird faces when saying things
  • Made it almost impossible to miss a few key items in the Gazette. If this doesn't work we'll make Eileen throw them on Kathy if she tries to leave
  • Moved the space bar feature tutorial to the library to space out the early tutorialization and make the game slightly more compatible with TikTok attention spans
  • Improved some of the hints related to the forensic puzzle in the cabin. Kathy should now actually remember what she voiced aloud 4 seconds earlier
  • Various little updates of the German translation. We don't speak a word of German, so if it's good we'll take all the credit and if it's bad we'll angrily join you with pitchforks outside the translators' office
  • Kathy's bedroom window has started following the laws of physics and now emits light
  • Resolved a number of bugs related to rapidly skipping through the new game trigger warning, since apparently some of you were so triggered by it you just couldn't help yourself from planting your head on your keyboard
  • Fixed the notebook bookmarks flashing for ~0.17 seconds during cutscenes, because our creative director noticed and even though nobody else in the world does he's still the boss and we need to do what he says (send help please)
  • Kathy no longer instantly forgets where she picked up a certain key
  • Corey can no longer spawn red spray can particles near his foot as if he put it through a meat grinder. We were torn about this one since it would explain his numb toes
  • Kathy is no longer scared to make eye contact with the stereo in the dorm room
  • Improved the computer book hints in the vain hope of reducing the number of players throwing their PC out of the window during that puzzle
  • Kathy now politely steps out of the way if she is caught by the ranger instead of chest bumping him
  • Fixed the smell of Lucas' trash can making Kathy transcend to another dimension allowing her to phase through the desk
  • Kathy no longer moonwalks in perpetuity out of frustration if the player tries drag and dropping the cigarette pack onto the PO boxes
  • Put an end to the toolbox rag's delusions of grandeur, covering up a bunch of other tools with its clickable area
  • Fixed a rare crash when loading saves when Kathy is at a precise moment in the middle of an interaction, because that's obviously a totally normal thing to do
  • The priest should now make more of a angry ruckus when he repairs his car
  • Eliminated an error when trying to use random inventory items on the computer power button, because using everything on everything is core gameplay baby
  • Kathy has recovered from a neurological condition making her stop and drool after using a thing on another thing in one of the endgame scenes
  • An extra layer of ear punishment was a nice idea in theory, but we've seen the error of our ways and now none of the endgame music will duplicate after a checkpoint restart

The Reviews are in!

Greetings, Investigators!

It’s been nearly a week since the release of Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer, and we can’t thank you enough for the overwhelming support!

We’re incredibly grateful for all your kind words and feedback. Today, we’d love to highlight some amazing reviews from both the press and content creators.


[h3]Press[/h3]

Vice

“If there was any way that Clifftop Games could further lock me into playing, it’s making the character a smartass. A well-written, wisecracking detective in gaming is a great way to break up the tension of an otherwise dark mystery. I’m going to enjoy unraveling the story with a character like that at the front. [...] And I’m glad to see that pixel art is being used more often. And when done right, it doesn’t age at all. Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is no exception; the environments and character designs are great. They showcase personality, emotion, and the grittier aspects of the game very well.”

Gamespew

“Playing Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer feels like going back in time to the heyday of the point-and-click adventure. Its pixel visuals are stunning, its writing and characterisation are on point, and its puzzles are engaging without ever being too obscure. It’s bolstered further by excellent voice acting and a well-paced story — even if it does end up delving into fantastical Lovecraftian horror territory.”

AdventureGameHotspot

“Right from the start of this adventure, my heart and soul were sucked into the screen and the real world practically stopped existing for me. With all due respect to the many great fantasy, sci-fi and cartoony games out there, as far as I'm concerned, nothing beats a realistic setting with relatable human characters telling a captivating story. It’s no wonder I love detective and mystery games best, especially slow burns with lots of attention to detail, great interview-style conversations with an eclectic cast of characters, a cool variety of puzzles, wonderful voice actors and great music. And that is precisely what Kathy Rain 2 delivers in abundance.”


[h3]Creators[/h3]

  • GabSmolders: “I can’t wait to play more. [...] It’s really nice, I love this kind of style of game and the voice acting is so good. I love the art style, and I love her too (Kathy). She’s got spunk, I like it!”
  • Raptor: “Love these Point & Click games, love great voice acting like that and it definitely shows graphics are not everything, especially in 2025. [...] I highly recommend it, I thought that it was very good so far. I really want to play the rest of this. Also, the first game is very good as well.”
  • Bearded_Muscle: “There’s a lot to do and it can take hours upon hours of investigative work and I feel like that’s kinda the beauty of it. It’s from one side chill because you can take it at your own pace, but from the other one, you can go into like this massive rabbit hole and investigate, write down notes. I personally love that, it excites me. Games like that have some very deep lore and very good story.”
  • Merpperoni: “I really enjoy games like these. You don’t come across these games too often. I am very intrigued, I can’t wait to see what the conclusion is.”
  • And shoutout to ChattyKathy, who even dyed her hair to match Kathy’s iconic look! After playing the game, she described it as “so cool and really fun” and particularly enjoyed “the easter eggs and the little interactions.”


As you can imagine, we’re absolutely thrilled by all this love and support. None of this would be possible without our amazing community, thank you! 💙
