10 Fantastically Original Video Games That Deserve Your Attention

3. Catherine

Although Catherine didn€™t exactly smash sales records upon its release in 2011, there€™s probably a good reason why €“ it is, by far and away, the weirdest game on this list. Officially billed as a puzzle game, this hidden gem is just as much an interactive morality tale concerned with the ethics of adultery, commitment and existence as it is a challenging platformer. Although that might not be the best way to describe a must-play video game; the fictional world of this eerie title pulses with so much personality and vibrancy that its odd decision to blend puzzles with interactive storytelling manages to be incredibly compelling. And even when the title's challenging levels start to become particularly tricky as the game enters its final stages, you'll find yourself slogging through Catherine's increasingly difficult platforming sections just so you get to see where this weird and wonderful rabbit hole will take you next.
