For the gamers on my list, I beg you to take a moment to check out The Cat Lady, an independent game by Harvester Games. At the very least, vote for it on Steam. Or if you don't want to do any of the above, watch and LP of it on YouTube. (My personal go-to is the RPGMinx. She just finished and posted the entire LP this past week

I want you to know I just spent the whole day watching the LP of this game and I am so, so creeped out. Great game, but augh. *blankets*

SUPER LATE REPLY TIME

Yeah, the whole game is very...immersive, but not in an obviously positive way? Like, I feel it's brutal honesty can both disturbing and compelling, but it is above all else extremely moving experience. It's hard to watch it and not feel penetrated by its atmosphere at some point. But I appreciate that the game designer refused to sacrifice his message for "fun." Art must sometimes, if not always, brook displeasure to be significant.

*nodnods* Well, the displeasure-feelings were part of what kept me watching. I kept looking for resolution. And, just from my own experience, the way Susan's depression was presented really rang true for me. I feel like the writer really gets what it's like.

Sup girl, how's life?

I've actually LPed Amnesia before! Love it to death. That's actually how I find RPGMinx's channel - her LP of the game is pretty famous. I'm really excited for A Machine for Pigs to hit the market later this year. :)

Thanks, definitively getting this game!
