The Entertainment Software Rating Board has released a rating summary for Catherine, detailing the upcoming game’s partial nudity, sexual themes, strong language and more.
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!"
Nothing wrong with a little nudity here and there. :)
Gotta love how, despite the immense potential of the genre, games have been stuck telling the same juvenile stories targeted at the "crucial" 13 year-old boy demographic.
Catherine may not be a big step, but it is A step, and gaming desperately NEEDS to start branching out into more area, or else the single most innovative form of narrative storytelling will never rise above (*ahem*) the level of pornography.
(I know some people won't get that, so to elucidate my last point: gaming is to storytelling what pornography is to cinema).
