10 Disturbing Video Games You Can NEVER Play Alone
10. The Cat Lady
Rendered in a strange two dimensional style that brings a dark cartoon crashing into bloody reality, The Cat Lady really isn't what it says on the tin.
Where the title might conjure up images of a lovely old woman wrapped in crocheted blankets, surrounded by sweet tabby kittens and drinking hot chocolate by the fireplace, what you get instead is a depressed lady, Susan, ready to kill herself but brought cruelly back to life by a supernatural spirit. The cats are just there to feast on any spare flesh you throw their way, and boy, is there plenty of viscera for them to snack on.
Susan can't die until you've helped rid the world of parasites, aka evil people who do evil things, and these said evil people will attempt to do evil things to you, too. It's a horrible exploration of the worst in human experience, stipulated with scares and gore in equal measure as you try to carve out a niche of good into this dark and lonely world.
Whilst The Cat Lady might be touching in part, it's a nasty little game to get there.
