It’s like you’re at an ophthalmologist and you’re gradually having different lenses shifted out. But the more people show up on stage or the more it pulls back to show off the environment, and the fuzzier things get. People’s faces are clear and you’re able to focus. If you’re in a close-up shot focusing on one or two characters with nothing going on, Catherine: Full Body’s Switch version looks fine. This sacrifice is most noticeable during story segments. (It was impossible to find Ranked matches ahead of launch, so I can’t speak to their quality and stability.) People who want to play the puzzles can skip all story scenes, even if they haven’t already seen them and jack up the difficulty for the nightmares, quickly unlock all the tower options, then head into endless, solo, cooperative, and online multiplayer options. People here for the story and the thrill of pursuing the three love interests can lower the difficulty and turn on auto-play option in the tower to progress. Options are also in place to allow people only interested in certain elements to prioritize them, which is convenient. The “new possibilities” in this version mean Rin is a romance option, both Catherine and Katherine get new endings, Persona 5’s Joker makes a cameo as a playable character, and there are new voice options for Catherine. These relationship problems alone would be a lot to deal with, considering his responses to situations alter his current alignment.Īt night, you go through a few floors of portion of the tower, attempt to outrun a grotesque boss inspired by someone or something Vincent dealt with during the day, and answer questions about relationships. Which also happens to be where Rin, an amnesiac young woman he helped when she was being stalked, now plays piano. However, after she brings up marriage, he finds himself flirting and waking up with Catherine, a woman he met at his local haunt. He’s comfortable with his life and okay with how things are going with his longtime girlfriend Katherine. Others will see it as the most compromising version of the game.Ĭatherine: Full Body follows the life and times of Vincent Brooks, a man pulled in many directions. Those eagerly anticipating it could consider it more proof of the system being a true “all ages” device with mature content for adults and an encouraging harbinger of Atlus support for the systems. (The PlayStation Vita port wasn’t localized.) It’s an experience, though one that doesn’t come without its sacrifices to make it happen.

Catherine: Full Body Switch is giving people outside Japan the first opportunity to officially play the game on the go.
