Catherine Narrative Details

By Mark


Catherine. A game that's narrative seemed a little hazy until just recently when the official site for the game was updated. The people over at Adriasang have been awesome enough to translate said details for those of us who are a little lacking in our understanding of Japanese.

What we already knew about the narrative was that it was heavily focused on the leading lady 'Catherine' and the nightmares that seem to be the baggage you get when you 'get to know her'. This has now been confirmed as the story sets off with police investigations claiming that young men are being found deceased with an expression of immense fear on their faces. 

Rumour has it that if you begin to be afflicted be nightmares you must wake up immediately otherwise a rather grisly end appears to be in store for you. We learn that our would be hero 'Vincent' is with is girlfriend of five years 'Katherine' who brings about the idea of marriage to him, causing our protagonist to freeze at the idea; it's at this point where the other 'Catherine' arrives and introduces herself. Events transpire and it ends up that he takes her home and sleeps with her.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. After this has occured Vincent begins to experience nightmares himself and unfortuneately this is where our details stop. Leaving us with the knowledge that Vincent begins to have the dreams that apparently cause terrifying death, it's all rather interesting and the game looks to have a distinctive feel to it. We'll definitely update the instant we catch anything of more being revealed. What do you think? Does the premise sound good to you, do you want it? Let us know.
