Project Kat is described by its creators as a Horror-RPG, but I think it's more of an horror-adventure game. The game follows Kat, a high school girl intent on performing a specific occult ritual. You explore a limited map, find and use objects, solve some puzzles, and talk to characters.
The problem with Project Kat is that it feels too much like a demo - like a vertical slice of a game that shows off some cool bits, but is unable to stand on its own. The game includes a lot of hidden stuff that point towards a deeper lore. However, that is intended for an upcoming sequel, and this game suffers due to it. A lot of questions are raised, and none have really satisfying answers... yet. The brevity of the game - which can be completed in about 30-40 minutes - adds to this.
Keeping the demo perspective in mind, the game is interesting. The art style, atmosphere, sound, and the creep factor - these are all great. In summary, Project Kat is a promise of something good that's yet to come.
