10 Video Game Characters That React To You Being A Creep

5. Cheating On Your Girlfriend In Public - Catherine

Catherine is a masterful deep-dive into what it's like being a post-university, mid-20s, city-living male, not knowing what the hell you're supposed to do with your life.

It's mainly focused on the sexual relationship side of things, and puts you in control of Vincent, a man who's been dating now-pregnant girlfriend Katherine for a long time, only for Catherine to turn up, and him to wake up next to her the following morning.

What follows is a multiple ending extravaganza of voyeurism and truth-telling, the game letting you know what players all around the world are also choosing, when certain weighty questions pop up.

Brilliantly though, as part of the reality of having a girlfriend while another tries to tempt you away, is Catherine sending you salacious pictures of herself, that you can view on your phone.

Try to do this in the game's cafe surrounded by your friends though, and Vincent will put his phone away, saying he "can't do this here".

Where can you "safely" emotionally cheat on your partner in peace?

Why, in the grubby cafe restrooms, sitting on a toilet seat, hunkered over your phone as you browse to your heart's content. It's just like real life!
