Catherine... beats me (for now)

Title: Catherine
Platform: PlayStation 3
Developer: Atlus
*Incomplete*

This game is extremely Japanese. It is brutally difficult, and very bizarre. I won't post play time until I actually manage to finish it, if ever. I've managed up to Stage 9-5 (there is only 9-6 after that); and pretty much decided I need to take a break for my sanity. Watching: This will give you a pretty good mental image of the suffering. I get to over 3/4 of the way through the level, and get killed or trapped in the most offensive way possible. I truly loathe Thomas Mutton(the dude in the background, doing cheap shit) with all of my being. I honestly believe he feels the same way.

Despite that, I do enjoy this game. It has a very Japanese, but still engaging plot with a twist. The characters are likable, at least I like them. The visual and audio presentation are both good, and achieve a unique atmosphere for the game. Overall, not a bad little puzzler. Other than being almost excessively difficult (even on Normal), I have no gripes with this game. I intend to return, and finish what I started at some point. I could cheat and watch the ending on YouTube, but my honor won't allow it. I have to earn it. I will be back.
