The colours are just as vibrant and engaging as any modern release, making it feel much more up-to-date than it really is. The game feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch, even when played on the OLED Model. While you won’t notice these improvements without playing the original, it’s still good to know that the game could have been displayed at an awkward ratio but instead, you’re playing what equates to the definitive version. The Director’s Cut includes a few improvements such as extra character animations, new stories and locations, and even a remixed soundtrack.

Kathy Rain launched in 2016 for PC and it’s as great now as it was then. Kathy says it how it is and never holds back. Kathy Rain: Director’s Cut delivers on all of this, and even feels like one of the better point-and-click games you can play on the Switch. There’s going to be a mystery that kicks things off, rooms full of items to interact with and pick up, puzzles that will take more than a few attempts to solve, and a colourful cast of characters to speak with. You generally know what to expect when you pick up a point-and-click adventure game.
