Wow, never heard of the game before. Is it any good?
The art style looks pretty reminiscent of Persona 5.

 

Oh man I dislike this game with a passion ^^

 

It's the game Atlus developed as a 'test' for the graphics engine they would be using for P5 - which exlpains its similar look.

 

They planned to use gamebryo but decides against it and made their own engine or p5

 

playing this game on ps3 currently so far its amazing might need to cop the pc version too

 

Baa

 

It is amazing if you like puzzle gameplay atleast, but the gameplay is really good as is the sound plus the story is just great

You could call it that but it is similar but it's also not similar and that doesn't make much sense but i don't like Q-bert but i do enjoy Catherine a lot

 

PC listing on the ESRB page was years ago, nothing new there but the Australian PEGI page and the sega posts deffo are saying that its coming.

 

I suppose that Q-bert is a rather simplistic comparison, though it doesn't exactly get the whole point/mechanics across.
There's ledge grabbing, pushing/pulling blocks, and various obstacles (ranging from enemies to problematic blocks, such as ones that break when stepped on multiple times, have spike traps, or weigh a lot). Unlike Q-bert, where the goal is to change the color of all the blocks on the stage while simply avoiding enemies and simple obstacles, Catherine has you climbing to the top of the stage (which is basically a tower of blocks) to reach the goal as you avoid enemies (either normal ones or the bosses themselves) and various obstacles that sometimes require thorough planning to get through. You can't stay in the same spot forever though, because the tower's lower sections eventually come loose and you'll find yourself falling into the abyss.

Some people like it for the story, while others love it for the puzzle gameplay (or both).
There's clearly people out there who only liked it for the fan service.
It also has a nice soundtrack that fits the game pretty well.

 

switch port when??
