Catherine Review
I've got a doozy for you: Does life begin or end at marriage?That's one of the first of many questions Catherine poses directly to its players, giving the option to choose a simple binary response - yes or no. Well, does it?Marriage is also something on the mind of Catherine's primary character, Vincent Brooks. He's an aimless 32-year-old who spends his days working with computers and his evenings posturing with his friends down the local, and right now he's perfectly content with living out his days on pause thank you very much. But life refuses to let Vincent stay idle, and his overbearing girlfriend Katherine is pushing him towards marriage, parenthood and abandoning his creature comforts. It's all too much for him to take in, so during his waking hours Vincent frets about his next steps in life, and at night he's plagued by horrible nightmares that force him to move forwards, onwards and upwards if he wants to stay alive.During these nightmare sequences you'll find yourself up against disjointed walls of blocks, and must shift them around in order to ascend these cuboid cliff faces as the ground slowly disintegrates.
Catherine
Serendipitously, I have been playing Catherine while reading the contemporary novel A Personal Matter by Kenzabur? ?e, winner of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize for Literature. The comparison between the book and the video game is uncanny: Both frustrated, weak-willed modern-day male protagonists are in a stalled, flat relationship that is confronted by the immediacy of a pregnancy and the presence of another woman. Their lack of confidence and commitment leads them down a shaky path of cheating that only escalates the situation until they finally discover the resolve to make a decision. Sure, Catherine is a video game about ragingly difficult block puzzles, but its deliberate concoction of story and gameplay is forceful, seductive, and ultimately satisfying. Vincent Brooks is the prototypical man on the cusp of middle-aged life, a slouchy manchild who breezed through his twenties without much concern and lives in a cramped, single, nameless apartment. On the white, black, and saccharine pink title screen, he, sheep-horned and bound half-naked by barbed wires to a suspended cube, seemingly calls out to his girlfriend Katherine, 32, who sits dispassionately to the side over his head.
Catherine Review
Catherine isn't like other video games. It isn't about saving the world, rescuing a princess, or slaughtering scores of nameless troops. It is, instead, about a regular guy in over his head. That guy is Vincent, a soft-spoken man so afraid of confrontation that he refuses to take control of events that change the course of his life. During the day, Vincent's attempts to make sense of his romantic entanglements lead to fear and desperation. At night, that desperation translates to cruel nightmares in which Vincent scrambles up an increasingly complex tower of emotions. Would you have guessed that Catherine is a puzzle game from such a premise? Yet, this is no ordinary puzzle game. Both Catherine's story and gameplay are so stimulating that they allow you to share in Vincent's increasing alarm as he struggles to find balance in his life--and to stay alive in his terrifying dreams. The game's difficulty can prove daunting, and scattered camera and control quirks sometimes hinder the fun. But if you've got the right amount of courage and stamina, Catherine rewards you with an unusual experience you aren't apt to forget. Vincent isn't a typical hero.
Catherine Review
After spending lots of time with the sordid tale of Catherine and putting down my controller to reflect on the experience, I felt refreshed. For all of the old, tired ideas that plague our industry, it was really nice to play something authentically different. And I mean really different, because Catherine is in no way, shape or form like anything you've ever played. But what's even more exciting about Catherine is that it's one hell of a game, too, and is wildly successful in most of what it attempts to do. Catherine, from the minds at Atlus' Persona Team, tells the story of a man in his early 30s named Vincent Brooks. Vincent spends his days toiling in the tech industry and his evenings getting blasted with his friends at a local bar. He also has a girlfriend of several years, a nagging-but-caring woman named Katherine. Yes, that's Katherine with a "K." Katherine has been pushing Vincent as of late to take their relationship to the next level, prodding him to solidify their bond. But Vincent's unsure of what he wants to do. His decision is initially made easier when another girl unexpectedly enters his life. This girl's name is Catherine -- that's Catherine with a "C" -- and after a drunken night of debauchery, Vincent wakes up in his bed to find this buxom blond bombshell naked next to him.
