The style of storytelling is very Japanese too, so if you’re a fan of Persona you’ll enjoy Catherine. What I will say is that Catherine: Full Body’s story is told through some tremendously well voiced and animated cutscenes and fans of anime will be lapping it up. Well, it’s not, but I can’t say more without ruining it for you. If that doesn’t sound like it’s for you, then best jog on. Just know that the game deals with some heavy, emotional subject matter and definitely paints men in a very harsh light. The point is Catherine: Full Body is best experienced fresh so I won’t be spoiling anything. And there are probably even those who’ve played it before who’ve forgotten exactly what happens. There are bound to be new players that I don’t want to spoil the experience for. I’m being deliberately vague here, with full knowledge that Catherine was originally released in 2011. However, as the story began to unfold, I was shocked at his cowardice and refusal to even try to put things right. Maybe, in the beginning, I could understand how he went down the path he did. Maybe my own bias was colouring how I viewed Vincent, but I had no sympathy for the guy. I’ve honestly never played a game with as much disdain for the main character before. So, in what he calls an “accident” he takes Catherine (with a C) home from the bar and sleeps with her. He gets by with a sarcastic attitude and some snark but in reality, he’s got nothing to say and he knows it. In a long-term relationship with Katherine (with a K, it’s an important distinction), Vincent is a depressed, 30-something with little drive or ambition. Even the protagonist Vincent, and I use that term very lightly, is an unlikeable piece of shit. Depicted as aggressive, violent, misogynist and unfaithful, Catherine: Full Body clearly has a lot to say about men. Catherine: Full Body does not look kindly on the males of our species.
