Impressions of the game (Catherine)

After the release Catherine on PC I decided to try. Quite exciting, the passage took 11 hours. The story tells of 32-year-old boy named Vincent. He is torn between his girlfriend Katherine, which does planning a wedding, and a sexy stranger, Catherine, Karissa him in a bar. Besides Vincent having strange dreams where he's climbing the walls and running away from monsters. He soon realizes that if he dies in the dream, you die in real life, and in the city, meanwhile, is heading a strange series of deaths of men during sleep. The gameplay is divided into two parts - afternoon and evening we drink at the bar, chat with friends, respond to texts from both girls (answer depends on ending), the night we pass dynamic puzzle. The plot is absolutely serious, the characters behave realistically. A feature of the story is that he is not Western, talks about the traditional relations between men and women, several editions after the release announced the game misogyny and transphobic (there are hints that one of the minor characters TRANS). This is not surprising because the game is made by the Japanese, who are conservative in relation to genderism issues.

Pros:
+Grown-up story about growing up, the formation of personality, betrayal and love.
+Nice graphics, vaguely reminiscent of the anime.
+The decisions of the player definitely affect the ending and cutscene.
+There is nothing superfluous, like reading notes, DLC, open world, etc.

Cons:
-In the middle of the night puzzle game is extremely difficult even on the easy level.
-Stupid artificial intelligence 8 stage.
-The gameplay may seem monotonous.
In the cut-scenes and videos, we can't affect the gameplay. In addition, they are in Japanese, long.

SUMMARY: a Good game with an adult story, absorbing the background of the modern project, which is sometimes so complicated that it would be desirable to throw.

Well, I didn't record such things in the cons, it depends purely on the game

Passed on normal, 18 hours of handle, but I was pretty meticulous. The puzzles are really challenging, but, strangely, only in the middle of the game - early in the game and in the finals no problem

Yes, I had to pass the final level twice - I passed, watched the cut-scene and then I lost electricity - Hello manual save(

The rest all agree.
