I mean, a romantic horror / social-sim / puzzle-platformer that’s framed as a fictional TV program? It sounds like I just made that up. What first caught my attention about Catherine, though, is the taboo nature of its narrative—at least for video games anyway. It’s a truly unique game that succeeds in telling a compelling story that’s brimming with loads of interesting dialogue and characters, as well as delivering highly addictive gameplay that’s as brutal as it is enthralling. Catherine may just be one of the best puzzle-platformers that I have ever played. It’s got some quirks, and the sexual themes may deter some players, but trust me, it’s worth a shot!"
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.

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!"
I'd love this to be Remastered on ps4
