In-game
« Even better than the first Kathy Rain (and I loved that one too). Great art, music, writing, VO. Very much worth playing all the way through to the end, despite how frustratingly on-rails the game gets as it nears the conclusion. »👍 anonymous review · Feb 2026 · 11 h played1« This is just an excellent game. Beautiful graphics, fantastic voice actors, perfectly balanced puzzles, and a well written story. 10/10, A++, will definitely play again at a later date! »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2025 · 6 h played1« Good old fashioned pont and click murder mystery game. Very similar in gameplay and atmosphere to the first installment »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 6 h played« Excellent jeu d'aventure point-and-click, tout fait sens, tout est logique. Les énigmes sont sympas et variées. L'ambiance visuelle et sonore sont au top. L'histoire est bien écrite et très bien traduite en Français. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2025 · 8 h played« Vraiment excellent. J'avais adoré le 1er opus mais celui-ci le bat sur tous les points.

« It's not a bad game, even compared to its predecessor, but I can't upvote it on good conscience since it portrays drug use as something cool or to laugh about. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 8 h played1« I've played both games and this wasn't an improvement by any means. It just felt very mediocre. »👎 anonymous review · May 2026 · 8 h played« Très bon opus, qui nous tient en haleine d'un bout à .... presque l'autre (la fin [spoiler] n'est vraiment pas à la hauteur... Trop barrée, baclée! [/spoiler] ). »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 14 h played« Je n'ai pas fait le premier mais ça ne dérange en rien grâce au résumé du début vraiment appréciable. Une histoire et des puzzles vraiment sympa, je le recommande pour les fans de jeux d’enquête ^^ 9/10 »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2025 · 15 h played
