Original or Remake?

[RexIvan]

Don't misunderstand me. I'm going to play both of them. I just want to know, by a general consensus, would you all suggest that I play the original first or the remake. I've found that in similar instances like this, the remake tends to be more polished and include more content, but the original tends to be more raw and wild and free willed.

Since I'm in the situation where I have yet to play either of them, which order would you suggest?

I don't think the original has voice acting in it, and I'm sure the music is much more refined too. T his has som eimprovements in the gameplay mechnanics over The Cat Lady so I can't imagine the original was very user-friendly as TCL wasn't really top line adventure game mechanics as it was. I have had that version on my PC fopr 6 months, but seems like I had some issues with it so I didn't keep playing it. I can't see any way the original wasn't improved upon in almost every way imaginable with this version.

I'd play the remake first, that way you go into it knowing very little about the story or what is going to happen and can get the full enjoyment of the remake's story as a first time player rather than going into it with everything spoiled.

Then try the old one after and see what was changed.

I guess it's six and half a dozen but I bought the remake for the remake, the 2009 version was just a nice bonus. Enjoy anyway.

Well. The remake is better than original. The main characters became deeper. Maybe you should try it first. That will protect you from spoilers. But it probably would be difficult to play original after that. Also remake plays a little bit with expectations and expirience from the first game. You should make some break between this games anyway.

BTW original not realy bad, it just different. It feelsmore like experiment, with lots of ideas. some of them works, some not, but it makes some specific atmosphere in the game. Remake, one theother hand use "the cat lady" formula.

And "The cat lady" is better.

The original is pretty good too. it has no voice acting but it has a very good soundtrack.
if you buy the remake here on steam you also get the old version for free (right click and start old verstion). I would play the old version first but thats just my opinion ^^
AND the original is a point and click with mouse and the remake is a keyboard version like the cat lady.
