It is difficult to put a traditional genre label on Catherine, but if you tried, it would probably be something like adventure puzzler/platformer with erotic horror and dating sim elements thrown in. If you had to find a game to relate it to the best you could probably come up with would be a nightmarish round of Q*Bert filled with anime art style and a morality system.
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!"
