Catherine
Atlus- Playstation 3 & XBOX 360
Catherine is an “adult-oriented” horror adventure game from the mind of Shigenori Soejima.
Gamers control a man named Vincent who begins to have strange nightmares of his death after he meets a strange girl named Catherine. Gameplay is played between two different scenarios, night and day. During the day Vincent hangs out with his friends and juggles a relationship between two women, Catherine and Katherine. During the night is where the majority of the game is played. Each stage of Vincent’s nightmarish dreams culminate into a boss stage where he much defeat an evil creature who is trying to end his life.
The cool thing about this game is that the choices Vincent makes throughout the game effects the routing of the story and his character development.
This is not a child’s game by any means and is rated M for “Mature” by ESRB.
