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.

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.”

“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.”

“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.”

  • 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.”
