Catherine being a strange puzzle game/dating sim from Atlus, the cheerful people who bring us the Persona games. In Catherine, you deal with failing relationships, the responsibilities of adulthood, and giant killer mechababies with chainsaws for a face. Oddly, some feel the game’s presentation of these subjects might not be entirely truthful to the real world. Check out this article that explores some of the more touchy issues in Catherine. Here be spoilers, by the way. 1UP has the story.
The real question of Catherine is why more people don’t know about the game’s deathmatch mode. I have not seen a more vicious and aggressive fighting game in my many years. Jump on the YouTubes and hunt down some Catherine tournament videos to see what I mean.
