These questions are surprisingly deep and even a bit personal. Again, you will need to talk to everyone and encourage them all to help them through their own life challenge.Īt the end of each resting area there is a confessional booth where you will be asked a morality question. The funny thing is, everyone in the dream looks like a sheep although after a few encounters you will start matching up the sheep characters with their counterparts at the bar. Each night has a few stages with a rest spot where you can talk to the other men around town who are also experiencing the same nightmare. These nightmares all play out the same, as an increasingly difficult stack of blocks you must climb and navigate to reach the top. Each night you experience a new dream with its own theme and boss challenge. Hopefully you are drunk since alcohol seems to improve your skills for the impending nightmare. The game really kicks into high gear when you finally decide to leave the bar. It is here that you can also watch the TV to get news updates, check out your cell phone for text messages (sometimes with sexy pics), play music in the jukebox and even play an arcade game that recreates the nightly puzzle levels in a cute cartoon style – a great way to practice. This will not only give you valuable insight into the mysterious story, but will also allow you to help out with the problems that these characters are facing. It is here that you explore various conversation threads with your friends as well as several patrons of the pub. Vincent might visit one or two locations each day but he always ends up at the Stray Sheep. But how long can he balance two women or three, and how long can he survive a sudden string of nightmares that are killing off all the men in town a mysterious plague that is seemingly only going after cheaters? Vincent seeks daily advice from his own relationship-challenged friends Johnny, Toby, and Orlando, and even their perky waitress, Erica. What ensues is a complicated web of deception with Vincent trying to balance multiple relationships one with Katherine who now says she’s pregnant, and the other with the commitment-free, whimsical booty call that is Catherine. And we can’t forget new girl, Rin, who literally bumps into Vincent in the opening movie then turns up at the bar as the new piano player. But when the too-good-to-be-true Catherine shows up one night, she and Vincent really hit it off, or at least that’s what she says when he wakes up the next day to find her in his bed. Vincent is perfectly happy with the status quo, which means he gets to keep hanging out with his friends every night, drinking at the Stray Sheep bar. Vincent has been dating the sexy (and controlling) Katherine for quite some time and she thinks it’s time to get serious. Mixing equal parts of social interaction and conversation (adventure) by day with finger-numbing nightmare puzzles (action) at night, players will control Vincent, a 30-something average guy who is suddenly forced to deal with some serious relationship issues. The puzzle count has been doubled to 500+ and there is a new Remix mode that changes up the puzzle play with linked blocks (think Tetris shapes) to turn these brain-teasers into brain-melters. There is just enough new content that when combined with the eight year lapse in time since I last played, made this game feel like something entirely new. With that said, you should probably avoid playing this game with your significant other watching over your shoulder or you might have some explaining to do.Ĭatherine: Full Body is the hot new remaster of that cult classic from 2011, with all new visuals, improved gameplay, brand new music, enhanced multiplayer and even a new character who has been seamlessly woven into the existing story to make things more fun than ever. Catherine is more than a game it’s a bizarre psych experiment that will reveal more than you might want to know about your inner self at least when it comes to relationships and commitments. At that time I reviewed the Xbox 360 version of the game and was amused and engaged with the unique design the blending repetitive puzzle gameplay with a heavily Asian-influenced relationship simulator. It’s been just over eight years since the original Catherine came to console.
