The player can even, during the nighttime bar segments, even interact with these people. Vincent himself appears with a dashing set of ram horns.Īs Vincent talks to the sheep, he slowly begins to realise they’re all people he knows from the real world. This is where the actual gameplay takes place, as Vincent continues to climb the tower and encounter other men thrown into this strange dream world. On top of that, Vincent starts having nightmares where he’s constantly climbing blocks to escape monsters. Vincent’s life is quickly thrown into turmoil as Catherine shows up night after night, Katherine is apparently pregnant, and Qatherine just kind of generally exists near him and knowing 3 people with the same name would be enough to be weird for anyone. It gets much more ridiculous than that, but I can’t explain exactly why I’m so exasperated without going into spoiler territory. Yes, that’s how it’s spelt.I am absolutely exasperated with how ridiculous this situation is.
Her name? Catherine, of course.įull Body, however, adds a twist to this formula: A third Qatherine. One night, at a bar, he meets a mysterious young girl who manages to seduce him and, despite having no memory of it, he wakes up with her in his bed the next morning. Also, he’s voiced by Troy Baker, even in the updated release, because he just really loves the character that much. The game begins with the player taking the role of Vincent, a thirty-something American programmer who can’t commit to his long term girlfriend, Katherine. I will play you, Catherine, and I will grit my teeth the entire time. Recently, however, it came out on the Nintendo Switch and, with a begrudging sigh and being a little bit more informed on how apparently good the puzzles were, I decided. It was, to say the least, a turnoff, and remained so for a long time until I just plain forgot about the game altogether.Īnd then in early 2019, Catherine: Full Body came out and I was once more reminded of this strange little game Atlus had made that was apparently a great puzzle game, but also: Whoof, that’s a lot of transphobia! And, again, I quickly lost all desire to touch it. I had never seen this game before, just, generally, so my first impression was a pair of boxer shorts and a waifu body pillow being sold with the game. I remember walking into an EB Games once and seeing the special edition on the shelf. I never caught Catherine the first time around, despite being an Atlus fan at the time.
