A lot of time without a game comment right??? Well that's because I haven't had much time to play, still I manage to find some and finish Catherine a couple of weeks ago, and while I don't remember most of the details by heart I can say this is a great game.

While I'm not a fan of puzzle games I made an exception with this one , Because of sexy women on the cover? Yes, but that's not really all there is. This is one of those games with multiple endings, there are 8 endings but they follow 3 basic plots regarding your inclination of being a good boyfriend.

----------------------------------------------SPOLER ALERT----------------------
The main plot of the game is that you've been course, you don't really know the reason for this until very late in the game, you play the firsts chapters clueless on why until you realize that the "gods" have course you for not compelling with the divine plan of species reproduction (as if there where not enough people in the world already). For some time you suspect that you've been course for cheating on your girlfriend with her antithesis Catherine (the blond) although that doesn't make sense because you start having nightmares before meeting her, but still you are suspicious that she has something to do with the whole drama.


Her secret is revealed to you and depending on your decisions you end up falling for her for good, decide to amend things with your girlfriend or go solo. Base on that you can end up with the "[Bad][Normal][Perfect] Cheater" ending, the "[Bad][Normal][Perfect] Lover" ending, or the "[Bad][Normal] Freedom" ending, it really doesn't matter what ending you get you feel satisfied with the story, although the Bad ending versions really leave you a feeling that you should try again, while Perfect Endings are an extension of the Normal endings and they are really worth to obtain (or watch at YouTube).

----------------------------------------------SPOILERS END HERE---------------------

The game itself is fun to play, the level of difficulty is really constrain on the difficulty you play the game on and there is no penalty (non-achievement-wise at least) on playing on easy, you can still get any ending.

The story is solid and funny but the art style may not be appealing to all (specially anime haters).

I do recommend to play this one, its pretty short (around 6 to 8 hours) and its worth the time.
