AtlusCatherine was already weird to even Atlus fans. The RPG is the company's specialty; many of which also have elements from dating-sims. Thats actually not a bad idea, considering that RPGs are dialogue-driven anyway. But what about a game thats essentially a nightmarish, erotic version of a game from the golden age of arcades? Now thats weird. Main protagonist Vincent has been dating Katherine for five years, but hes unsure about commitment. Coincidentally, news reports tell stories of men dying in their sleep--all of them guilty of cheating on their spouses. Unfortunately for Vincent, he runs into another Catherine with whom he must choose whether or not to leave the other one for. And of course, this means he has to deal with this difficult choice while surviving night after night in Q-Berts version of hell. While the game is definitely not Q-Bert, it may look like it to a lot of people who enjoyed the game. Its certainly a design that is uncommon in todays video games; however, regardless of how you take to Catherines puzzle-survival gameplay, things get weird. Monsters take normal fears of commitment and turn them into nightmarish creatures. Not to mention, if your loved ones pick up and examine one of the two erotic covers of the game, then you might have some explaining to do.
