![]() Honestly, you can feel sorry for Vincent one moment and think him an utter asshole the next. Catherine is portrayed as the lustful version of Katherine, and the story constantly throws up heavy handed moments, as well as ones that make you think. He wakes up next to her, not remembering a thing. As usual, Vincent is sat at the Stray Sheep bar drowning his sorrows, his friends have long since left for home, and she just waltzes into his life. ![]() The titular Catherine, then, enters one night when he’s fretting over getting married and settling down. It’s a story about realising how good your life already is, I think, but there’s so much neurosis instilled throughout that you could take your own story away from it quite easily. Vincent doesn’t necessarily not want to do that, but the story revolves around him really not knowing what he wants. His girlfriend (Katherine with a K) is a career-led person who wants to get married and move from the teenage romance stage, to the married with kids stage. Don’t get me wrong, Catherine is massively anime: we’re talking wide mouthed gasps and weirdness off the charts, but the game part is hugely addictive, compelling, and actually a really tricky puzzler.Īt the risk of retreading our original review, you play as Vincent, a guy who’s age is never entirely clear but appears to be around the atypical area where people get married and have kids. I don’t mind reading in games, but I want some action. I love games based heavily on narrative, but I shy away from getting into the full-on visual novel genre. What Catherine is, to me, though is a perfect crossover. But sometimes we tell ourselves things to make us feel better about some niche entertainment product we loved that nobody talks about, because it’s sitting pretty around 80-82 on Metacritic, so it certainly wasn’t underrated. In my mind’s eye, Catherine is a superb story driven puzzler that was criminally underrated around eight years ago when it hit PS3 and Xbox 360.
