Games developed by Atlus are well-known for their special brand of weirdness, and Catherine looks to follow in those footsteps pretty faithfully. That being said, it also brings some pretty interesting elements to the table. A demo for the game was recently released on the Japanese PSN and Xbox Live markets, and it is rife with all of that great Atlus-esque weirdness we’ve all come to expect.
Paul writes: "Games can be many different things to different people. The subject of this Looking Back article is something a little different however, as it deals with infidelity and the fallout that comes the way of the straying main character. Intrigued? Well, come with me to the weird world of 2011’s Catherine!"
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
Catherine (Atlus, 2011) celebrates its 10th anniversary this week, so what better time to revisit it and explore just what makes it such a memorable and great game?
You play as Vincent, a guy in his 30s trying to navigate a path through his relationships and into his future. On the surface of it the game seems to be about the nature of commitment versus temptation, as communicated through Katherine and Catherine.
Is that really what it's about, though? Is there more to Vincent's story than there initially seems and how does this extra depth play into Catherine's value as a videogame and a piece of social commentary?
Not only is the story relatable to being a modern guy who has to decide whether to settle down, and with who, but the logic puzzle gameplay really clicks with me.
It sure as hell not the puzzle gaming... I mean, it's not that bad...Actually, a bit of fun... But absolutely not "great!"
one word AWESOME
now they need to announce us release
Yes, my wife keeps asking me about this game. I'm still not sure what it is. Looks like soft-core anime pr0n to me.
Definitly a game that feels fresh unlike the generic stuff im used to see every year.
Personaly i dont like a game that involves improving social skills with other characters but as long the gameplay requires a brain that´s good enough for me.
can anyone explain this game to me? everytime i see a pic about this game there always a slutty chick on it. lol
its an awesome ggame about a guy who does it with a slutty chick and starts having nightmarres
