Our take on Katie

The large cast and explorable town suggest a broad social adventure, but the story centers on one relationship and a reflective week of conversation. Secrets and exploration add scope without changing the primarily introspective focus.

What is Katie?

Katie is a narrative exploration game set in an isolated 3D pixel-art town cut off from wider society.

Players walk through the town, talk with its residents, choose whether to engage with them, and listen to Katie. Dozens of citizens have individual appearances and ideas, while the main narrative unfolds over a week through interactions with the person who gives the game its name. The story reflects on friendship, loss, self-reflection, and the search for meaning during chaos. Exploration can reveal secrets, with additional content available after the main game. The environment also includes movable swings, and full Vive VR support allows the town to be explored in virtual reality.
