10/30/2022 0 Comments Catherine full body katherineOne early on stood out to me when asked about marriage. I was at one point very critical about the binary choices you had between floors during the puzzle sections. Many times throughout the experience I had to stop, step back and wonder why on earth I had a certain outcome, when I made a choice that I felt was ‘morally good’. Yet where Catherine does it better, is that the illusion of control is there throughout. It pre-dates the big ending of The Last Of Us and makes you realise you are not playing as you, but instead along for the ride as Vincent. There are choice I would like to make in the game that would end it as a story early, but where the game is clever, is in how it gives you control of some important decisions, but then takes others out of your control completely. Vincent is presented as the main protagonist but very quickly I felt like I was fighting against his character traits with choices I would make and what I’d hope he would say. I mean that in terms of their morals and actions, not the way they are written. I cannot work out who I think the hero of the piece is and in actual fact, I honestly believe there are a lack of good characters within the game at all. But Catherine has left me emotionally stumped ever since its original release. Sure there have been a couple of games that can make you feel a little uncomfortable with the subject matter. It isn’t something that has really happened with games for me. It had a profound effect on me and again, a film I have only been able to watch the once and find difficult to put into words why I believe it to be so powerful. They deal with this in two very different ways, where the film tries to be brutally honest with some pretty dark subject matter. Here it tell the story of two young boys who experience what they believe to be an alien abduction. #CATHERINE FULL BODY KATHERINE SKIN#The other was Mysterious Skin from Gregg Araki and starring Joseph Gordon Levitt. But it was one I couldn’t say how I really felt about it. It is a film that will be remembered for a brutal opening scene involving a fire extinguisher and a face, as well as a horribly brutal rape scene that was some of the most uncomfortable viewing I have ever seen. An arthouse film that was trying too hard to be something more, or a brilliant piece of cinema that did have something important to say. I watched the film once and once only and couldn’t decide if it was pure trash aiming to shock for the sake of it. Firstly Irréversible from director Gaspar Noé whcih tells the story of a rape and revenge in reverse. It is up there for me with a couple of films that I wondered the same about in the past. I am not sure if I like it, hate it, or something else completely. Instead I want to discuss my relationship with Catherine over the years as this becomes my fourth time playing and I still cannot decide where I stand with the game. Check out this review from Nintendad (coming soon). If you want to find out how good the port is, then there are plenty of places you can do just that. That’s because I found Catherine a game I couldn’t really review. If you check the title of this article, it lacks the ‘review’ part.
