There’s so much to unpack and explore here, from Vincent’s ability to juggle his relations with the two girls, to the supernatural wonder of the nightmare world, not to mention the flavor text and stories you get from interacting with the side characters, who flesh out Catherine’s mythos even further.Ĭatherine: Full Body seeks to shake things up by introducing a third party named Rin. If it sounds like this game has a lot going on narratively, that’s because it does. There’s also a curse called the Woman’s Wrath going around, where men who cheat are sent to a nightmare world when they sleep, and they’re forced to face their deepest fears and climb a never-ending tower of blocks, or die. Things aren’t as simple as cheating and trying to hide it from Katherine, though.

Players take control of Vincent Brooks, a 30-something year old man who’s in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart Katherine. So how does Catherine: Full Body stack up as a re-imagining of the risque tale? But anything to do with sex and cheating? You’d be hard pressed to find a game that’s all about that raunchy goodness.Ĭatherine was an utterly compelling tale about the conflict between remaining faithful to your longtime partner and running off with your ideal mate. Violence and gore? Sure, no shortage of those. There weren’t too many mainstream games out there that dared to actively tackle themes of relationships, promiscuity, and infidelity.
When Catherine originally released back in 2011, it was clear that Atlus had something special on their hands.
