Introduction

Ah, the world of gaming! A lovely escape from reality, where you can save the galaxy, build empires, or... navigate the treacherous waters of romantic relationships while climbing block towers in your nightmares? Welcome to the surreal experience that is Catherine: Full Body!

Gameplay

Gameplay is split into two flavors: by day, you interact with various characters at the Stray Sheep bar—think of it as a social simulator where your choices matter. By night, you’ll be scaling towers during the surreal nightmare sequences, pushing and pulling blocks as if you’re building the world's most dysfunctional stairway to heaven. The twist? Failing to climb fast enough gets you ‘death by block’—which is more intense than it sounds. Each stage ends with a score that may make you question your gaming prowess, as those online leaderboards don't lie! Plus, the addition of Rin in Full Body pulls some new puzzles into the mix, and yes, there's online multiplayer to showcase your strongest ‘Caterpillar’ climbing skills against friends.

Graphics

Graphically, Catherine: Full Body is as visually striking as ever. The stylized characters bounce around in a world where each block gels with the psychedelic aesthetic. Thanks to the jump to the Switch, you can now enjoy those glorious anime cutscenes (courtesy of Studio 4°C) while lounging in bed or on the go, which means your guilt over questionable choices in life comes with a side of portability!

Conclusion

In the vast turmoil of gaming options, Catherine: Full Body is a delightful blend of puzzle and narrative that tackles some weighty themes wrapped in an absurd, fantastical package. It invites players not just to climb their way to freedom but to navigate their own tangled web of decisions in love, making each playthrough uniquely personal. So, grab your Switch, put on your thinking cap, and get ready to climb—because the only thing scarier than the nightmares is your love life.
