The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

Susan Ashworth, known in her neighbourhood as the crazy Cat Lady, is a lonely 40-year old on the verge of suicide. She has no family, no friends and no hope for a better future. One day she discovers that five strangers will come along and change everything... But those five, "The Parasites", are also the most ruthless, deranged and cold-blooded bunch of psychopats the city has ever known. They will stop at nothing to hurt Susan. Unless, she hurts them first...

AGS Panel Review

"The Cat Lady is an exceptionally powerful game. It\\\'s unlike anything else you\\\'ll find among its adventure game peers, and will move you in ways few other games can hope to do.

That said, it\\\'s not a game for everyone. Many traditional players may find the plot overly emotional, the imagery too harsh and the game world hard to navigate. Characters sprites are crudely drawn against photo-montage backgrounds, and can only move sideways. Symbolism in TCL isn\\\'t subtle or suggestive; it\\\'s graphical and in your face.


Outside of the AGS community, TCL has garnered an unprecedented fan following.

One of the best games I've played in a long time. The adult themes like suicide and murder were spot on. It also had some creepy parts and the graphics were great for the game.
I even bought the OST although this isn't my favourite style of music.

Great game, with great music.

Highly original adventure game. Amazing story, great puzzles, unlikely protagonist and very, very dark. The most awesome horror adventure out there.

Couldn't quite give it a full rating as the sprites are rather aliased and don't have the best animations - but this game is so good you'll not be bothered.

One of my favourite AGS games. Great atmosphere, interesting story and characters, nice graphics.

I've been eager to play this one for some time now and last few days I finally found the time to do it. It did not blew my away as I expected it would (seeing the reviews and scores) but it
surely is a good game.

One of the best Adventure Games ever. It was expected coming from Harvester Games.

I am in love with this game :).
That's one of the most interesting and enjoyable story found in AGS games, and no matter how much I try, I can't remember a game which would have such a level of immersion.

Cat Lady is a horror, but an unusual one, it has certain... flavor, which is very difficult to describe.
I don't want to give too much spoilers here, but the general feature of the game is that Susan, the main character, is given a role of judge, rather than a victim. As soon as you realize this, the game becomes more a surrealistic drama, rather than a slasher. You are not surviving, you are contemplating.

Perhaps, this is personal way of seeing, I but found the game melancholic and thoughtful, and almost not scary, in the usual sense. After all, this is not a story of fantastic monsters from other world, it is a story of human monsters, of all possible kinds.

Very deep and mature story, graphics are beautifully surrealistic an above average. 8/10
