Never stopped playing a game I was super interested in faster. The hook is really interesting but you get bored pretty quickly into the game.

I'm pretty bad at completing games but this one drew me in. I liked that it was a relatively short game and the story line was good. Gameplay was ok but I felt a lot more polished than others. I dropped Split Fiction immediately.

The "cat call" of this game is strong, and I think thats whats been helping them hold sales at the higher pricing. But sooner or later this will drop down to the $5-10 game it was always meant to be! They've definitely made a killing off of it, so hopefully that will translate to their next release will be worth the higher price point they want.

I enjoyed this game. It's super simple, but it was a nice change of pace. It really should be $15 at full price and $10 on sale at this point, but this is still worth it. Being an indie game from the game division of a failing indie movie production company is why it doesn't go as cheap as it should. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Annapurna Pictures (the film production company that owns Annapurna Games) is owned by billionaire Larry Ellison's daughter, and their movies have lost hundreds of millions of dollars and the company has faced bankruptcy, so Larry just throws money at it to keep his daughter's business from going under. So, yeah… It makes sense that this doesn't get as cheap as it should.

You're overstating the financial losses. Annapurna had a $200M deficit in 2019 and faced Chapter 11, but it appears daddy helped bail Megan out. They make awards-bait movies, so box office hits like Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle are the exception, not the rule. After the Hot Fad Plague destroyed the movie business for all but sequels and IP-based movies, the market for movies for grownups is even smaller.

The irony is that her brother, David, is the founder of Skydance which is a money-printing factory which just took over Paramount. Larry doesn't have to bail his son out like his daughter. Whatever, it's not our family or money.

It's not a bad game. LKBC does the "play as a cat" more convincingly, but this has more meat to it. Still seems overpriced for what it is.

Annapurna Games makes great games. All of them are interesting and they've made some of the best indie games of all time. Who cares if Annapurna Pictures doesn't make money? They make great movies.

Who cares how much money their films make? They're all great films made by some of the best directors alive: Wong Kar-wei, Paul Thomas Anderson, Richard Linklater, Harmony Korine, Todd Solondz, Katherine Bigelow, David O. Russell, Spike Jonze, the Coen brothers.
