Catherine: Full Body

The story in Catherine: Full Body is constructed in such way that a player’s actions determine the plot of the game. Conversations with characters and Vincent’s actions in the nightmare world impact the story of the game.

Mechanics

Catherine: Full Body is an unusual adventure game. The gameplay consists of three segments. In the first one, the player spends evenings in the above-mentioned pub where he talks with friends and random people. The second one is similar to a typical visual novel – the player is trying to keep decent relations with the female characters. In the last one, the players are controlling Vincent who is fighting for survival in action sequences. He must beat complex levels in the nightmare world. These levels are based on a few simple principles that require good reflexes and quick thinking from the player. The players are climbing on a wall made of cubes. The cubes can be moved in various directions in order to open a path to the top of the level. On the way up the players must avoid traps and frequently other men that are also fighting for their survival. A monster is chasing Vincent during these sequences. If the players aren’t fast enough, they are attacked by the monster and the sequence must be repeated.

Game modes

In addition to a story campaign, Catherine: Full Body features a multiplayer mode in which players are competing with each other by beating the levels from the game. The title supports both local and internet play. The latter also supports online scoreboards.

Technical aspects

The remastered graphics of Catherine: Full Body features full HD resolution, new textures, and animations. The style of the visuals is similar to one present in the newest entries in the Persona series – they share the same designer, Shigenori Soejima. During the gameplay the players can listed to a soundtrack composed by Shoji Meguro.
