![]() ![]() Think of it as Persona’s leisure time and while there’s no specific Social Links system. You get to hang out with your buddies, or share stories with other patrons or reply text messages on your phone.Īs you spend time talking, time progresses and different patrons will enter or leave the bar. In the down times when he’s not trapped in a hellish nightmare where everyone is a sheep and a baby wants to kill him, Vincent spends his evening in the bar. It offers no effect on the story, so it’s totally fine if you have no interest in the puzzles. This includes auto-complete where the game plays for you and an option to just skip the puzzles. Playing on the lowest Safety mode has tons of assists for you. That said, if you have no interest in the challenging but rewarding puzzles, there’s no harm with playing on the lower difficulty. From there, it was smooth sailing… until the gimmick blocks appeared. I was stuck on the first level- the tutorial one- for about 30 minutes on normal difficulty before I can wrap around what Vincent can climb and cannot climb. It makes for some tense mind-benders, though it can be frustrating if you can’t grasp the fundamental techniques. The lower levels will slowly collapse into the unknown and you have to keep climbing up. What makes Catherine’s puzzle sections stick out is that you have to work under pressure. It will take a few tries for you to really grasp how to move the blocks correctly to allow Vincent to climb upwards to the goal. It’s a block puzzle where the rules are rigidly followed rather than intuitive. These nightmares are where the core gameplay of Catherine resides- the puzzles. One day, a mysterious girl name Catherine comes to the bar he frequents and they ended up in bed together.Īnd now he’s experiencing nightmares, where rumour has it, that it only affects cheating men and it could lead to death. In Catherine Full Body, you play as 32-year-old Vincent Brooks, who can’t make up his mind if he wants to commit to marriage with his long-time girlfriend Katherine. There are new songs too added for Full Body- the Persona 5 ones are the most fitting compared to the more chirpier tunes. ![]() You can play other songs from the bar’s jukebox, featuring various tracks from the game’s soundtrack and some selection from the Persona games. It’s a stark contrast to the bodacious, horrific mixes of familiar classical tunes that play during the nightmare segments. The default jazz tunes in the Stray Sheep bar is as comforting as it is melancholic. Though there are significant upgrades if you compare the original and Full Body side-by-side. Catherine is not about realistic graphics. Game menus are flourished more than you’d expect, the character models looking crisp and the usage of 2D anime cutscenes by Studio 4☌ makes really adds to the presentation. Especially if you like puzzlers.Ĭatherine is stylised as heck. On its own, Catherine is still an evergreen experience, but the Full Body treatment also gives strong reasons for veterans to revisit it. Not a straight port, not a straight remaster. With Catherine Full Body, it serves as both a PS4 release of the game, plus newly added content in the style of Persona 4 Golden or the upcoming Persona 5 Royal. Before Persona 5, the development team took a side tour and made Catherine, an adult tale of relationships and the horror of infidelity.
